This home was perfect for a family vacation. There was plenty of room for our family of 9. We had a great time. Everything was clean and perfect. All beds were clean and comfy. The blankets could’ve been more the right size for a king size bed; other than that I have no complaints. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. This was an awesome house and we would definitely stay here again.

The house was clean and nice but too many steps. The kitchen is on the 3rd floor and is a lot of steps to the main living area from the pool. Beds and living space were good. Recommend, cut back the trees around the pool so that more sun hits the pool.

House itself & its amenities was good. Great pool & hot tub. Beds & furniture were abound & very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped & fairly clean.

We decide to stay at this house after much consideration of a number of properties in Corolla and OBX. We had 8 adults and 2 young children, and we had more than enough space in this home. One of the appealing features for us was the 3 queen bedrooms where two had their own attached bathrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped - crockpot, coffee pot, blenders, plastic place settings for the kids (bowls, cups, plates), more than enough glassware, cutting boards, etc. They also had 2 high chairs, 2 gates and a pack-n-play that were all in good condition. We used the pack-n-play for our little one the week we stayed in the house and both high chairs. The closet in the carport has an additional fridge that came in handy as well as any and all pool equipment you would want. They also had a beach cart, chairs and sun shade in there. The outside showers were great for rinsing off from the beach or giving a quick wash of the babies after being in the pool. The neighborhood is great, quiet and just around the corner from Timbuck II, the grocery and a number of restaurants. The walk to the beach is not bad at all - 3rd street up from the access. There were plenty of tv channel options - we watched a number of things ranging from soccer games to Disney Junior. The previous review mentioned the dryer not having a lint catcher and that has still not been resolved almost a year later. A tie on my little one's swim suit bottoms got caught in the dryer and started to burn as well. The full size bed on the bunk bed sags on the one corner and was not very comfortable. We did have a few ants in the kitchen and wasps outside by the pool that we had to get spray for. Only major complaint was the wifi was not very good. We were constantly kicked off and having to re-enter the password on our phones. It's not a major issue when you are there to enjoy the beach but definitely frustrating when you need wifi to connect to a baby monitor app on your phone. When we return, we will no doubt stay in this house again. Highly recommend.

We had 7 adults and 3 children comfortably stay in this house for a week. We enjoyed the pool, beach, and hot tub everyday. The weather was perfect- beach weather just about everyday except for one. The kids liked going over to the lake to feed the turtles. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all, and the beach cart definitely came in handy! Thanks to either the owners or previous renters for leaving their boogie boards, the kids had a blast with them in the ocean. The outdoor showers were great for rinsing all the sand off, and the fridge in the carport came in handy for drinks poolside. We even saw a few deer come through the yard behind the fence. We enjoyed plenty of family time - drinking our morning coffee and playing cards with the kids on one of the many decks. An evening glass or 2 of wine was also enjoyed :). The kitchen is very well equipped, and the kids had fun playing air hockey. Flip Flop'n has everything you need for a terrific OBX vacation! Ocean Sands is so quiet and the perfect place to unwind. A few notes on maintenance for the owners/Sun Realty- Several outside lights were burned out and the previous renters did not take their trash/recycling out, but Sun Realty sent someone over and it was quickly resolved. A pair of my daughter's shorts got stuck in the dryer and there is a black mark on them where it started to burn. There is also no lint catcher and a lot of lint was blowing out into the carport, so be careful. The sink on the middle floor started leaking underneath the cabinet midway through the week; I called and Sun must have sent someone over while we were out because it stopped. The house really needs a 2nd trash bin and recycling container outside - we filled them both in just a couple of days. All of the cable boxes to the TVs were unhooked and the remotes were behind the TVs. Very odd (maybe someone was against too much TV?) but we were able to get them working. The wireless worked great :)

The house is lovely! We had 12 adults, two small children and a baby and we were all comfortable. The pool, hot tub, outside showers were great! There was a beach umbrella, beach chairs, and a wagon to haul it all that was awesome. Everything worked well in the house. It is set up nicely. Great kitchen. We would stay there again!

We traveled to the Outer Banks for a family vacation that included 6 adults and 2 small children (9 months and 3 years old). We found Flip Flop to have plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax comfortably. The main living area was large enough for us to all spend time together and the kitchen was well equipped. A few of the mattresses were on the uncomfortable side but that could be a matter of personal preference. The neighborhood was nice and located very close to several restaurants and a grocery store. The kids enjoyed playing in the pool and visiting the beach everyday. We liked that the beach was no extremely crowded. The garage had several beach chairs, bikes, toys, and a beach cart to haul everything for our day (including the kids!). We also found a good collection of family DVDs to enjoy on a rainy day. There were a few drawbacks to the trip. The pool was freezing when we arrived and it took them several days to come and fix the solar heater. Before that it was much to cold. The A/C also went out on the main level and it was close to 90 degrees upstairs. Maintenance came to fix it the same day. The TV in the lower level did not work during the stay. As I said, a few beds were uncomfortable (specifically the master and the room with 2 twins). The biggest challenge for us was the proximity to the beach. Although it was only about a 10-15 minute walk with the beach cart, that can still be a challenge with 2 little ones on different nap schedules (and 1 pregnant adult!). The private beach was very nice but we had to walk back to our house to use a bathroom (again, challenging with a pregnant woman and a 3 year old!). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again.

Flip Flop'n had good potential - plenty of room, nice quiet neighborhood, and well stocked. Unfortunately, it misses on all of the important details. Our biggest disappointment was the "solar heated" pool. It was too cold to even use the whole week (in May) leading to some very disappointed kids. Sun Realty staff maintain that everything was working properly. Apparently some useless solar panels. Need actual heat in your pool? Don't Bother. Upon arrival, we had our choice of 13 whole TV channels. Want to watch any sports or kids shows? Don't Bother. Very uncomfortable beds. Definitely could use an upgrade. Don't want to wake up with a sore back every morning? Don't Bother. Kitchen regularly had ants crawling all over the counter tops. Don't want ants crawling around in your food? Don't Bother. There are better options out there, hope you find one.

My husband and I have never been to the Outer Banks nor have we never rented a house before. We extremely enjoyed this home. It was well maintained, and was well stocked with all the necessities. Even though it was jus the two of us, we where looking for a house with a pool and this one certainly met all are needs and exceeded our expectations. Would definitely rent this propery again, but our teenagers said we have to take us with them next time.

Beautiful home with lots of room. Well stocked but needs bath mats in each bathroom. Pool and Hot Tub were amazing. Lots of stairs. Beds not the most comfortable. A little bit of a walk to the beach. Large pond with turtles to feed nearby. :) Overall enjoyed our week there.

Great house. My family had the opportunity to visit Flip Flop "N" in 2008 and found it to be lovely and well equipped house. The kitchen area is well equipped and the closet with beach equipment was a lovely surprise. The owner(s) of Flip Flop "N" maintain the house not as a rental property but as a house they reside in all year round. GREAT HOUSE FOR R & R WITH YOUR FAMILY.
