Perfect Beach Cottage
The family and I had a relaxing stay at the well appointed Flip Flop Flamingo in beautiful Galveston Texas! Beds were comfortable and blackout curtains were a plus. Convenient location near the beach and many restaurants but on a quiet street. Would stay again.

Great getaway!
We had an amazing time during our stay for my husband's birthday! We loved the hot tub and the bikes as well. The only thing I would say is that you're close to the neighbors, and unfortunately for us, our neighbors were outside playing music throughout the day. Which, was only slightly annoying when we were outside in the hot tub. The house stays pretty quiet inside. The beds are extremely comfortable and the house stayed relatively cool. We highly recommend this house for your next getaway!!

Easy to find, close to Galveston seawall and The Strand. Clean and inviting, spacious home as described. Beds slept well. Kids had a blast. Yards were well fenced for our 2 dogs. The hot tub was hot and was one of the main reasons we chose this home. Would ask the renters to get lights fixed in hot tub and surrounding area. Overall would recommend for a "getaway fun, relaxing time."

Good location, within walking distance of the Galvez. Nice hot tub, although the bedding was a bit sparse, and the entry door key code was too long to memorize, and a bit overdone!

very nice home
We just wanted to get a way for a few days. This home was a great choice. We needed a pet friendly and centrally located. Both were fulfilled here. It also came with a hot tube which was nice. Only used it a couple times but it sure felt good on these old bones. The home was very clean and had everything we needed or expected. Check in was very easy. I see where people did not like the long code, but it really is not a big deal. Security is important. Check out was also very easy. Pick up your things take trash out and you're on your way. Communication with owners was great. Only asked them one question when we got there and received a very quick response. Would stay again.

Flip Flop Fantastic!
We loved this gorgeous 1907 cottage! It is cozy and comfortable, and even has a clawfoot tub. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The location is perfect--close to our favorite restaurants and the beach. Our family needed to decompress after a devastating house fire. "Flip Flop Flamingo" was just what we needed. Many thanks to our gracious hosts, Jom and Monica. We are looking forward to returning next summer.

Flipflop stay
The house had rustic charm and was in a good location close to many different activities. Cons: the hot tub did not operate properly. It did work but half if the jets did not come on at all. The bikes were unridable due to tires not holding air. The two seater bike had no brakes. We looked forward to riding them but could not. The grill had not been cleaned. Pros: Aside from that it was a great stay in a cozy and cute house. We loved the area and had good interaction with others in the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend for a fun stay.
