A slice of paradise

You can’t ask for a better spot on the beach. The house met all of our expectations. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked and the air conditioning was a welcome perk after being on the beach all day.Thank you John and Jennifer!

Real beach vacation

A very unique place right on the beach. Just wonderful peaceful place to reconnect. We had great weather, just a bit windy, but that’s to be expected on the beach. The outside eating area is so fun and commodious. Hope to come back!

This is our 12th trip to North Cap over the last 22 years and Flip Flips is among the best of the various homes we have rented! Great location, great beach and great condition. Very chill.

The best sunset on the island

Absolutely stunning sunsets and plenty of beach directly in front of house. We have stayed on the island several times and this was by far the most enjoyable. The house is perfect with everything you need for a perfect vacation.

Refreshing Stay in North Captiva

The house is on a beautiful quiet little beach. We had someone catch a tiny hammerhead looking shark and saw a proposal right in front of the beachfront we were staying on. Everyday we would go out and find the most amazing sea shells! Such a nice island that has the friendliest group of people staying there. We took a few boat rides and the dolphins swam with us for half of the ride. Everyone was very accommodating. Only tip would be to plan ahead and read the welcome pack that details the necessary arrangements. You'll have the best time!

Great location and super fun house

The house was in a great location, the beach access was the best. The house was prepared with all the activities for kids. The staff responded super fast and brought me some medicine from mainland drugstore the following day which made the stay in the island very confortable.

Comfortable lovely home on the beach.

Great location with stunning sunsets. The house was as depicted, very comfortable and clean with great balconies for watching the sunset over the beach. Efficient air con, which was certainly needed! We had some top up grocery shopping delivered part way through, a great service. A couple of minor issues were dealt with very quickly, thank you. Overall a great stay.

Loved it!

Logistics of getting to North Captiva can be a little challenging but it really is a special place. We really enjoyed Flip Flops…layout of the house was perfect for our group, was clean, and had everything we needed. We all loved eating dinner while watching the sun set each night. Highly recommend Captiva generally and this property specifically!

Sunset central!

Amazing sunsets, outdoor is super nice! Right next to the air strip - kids had fun watching planes take off and land!! From the balcony could easily spot dolphins. Can’t wait to see how the inside of the house evolves over time.

Beautiful Beach House

We had a fabulous week at the Flip Flops Beach House! The location of the house being right on the beach was perfect We had beautiful sunsets every night and loved hearing the sound of the Gulf. All beach needs were full-filled with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and beach games. The house had incredible views and had everything we needed. It was a great getaway!

Most peace and relaxing vacation ever

My family and I loved our vacation at Flip Flops. Everything was better than described! I’m so happy my family got to experience the laid back atmosphere and totally relax just steps from the beach. Shally’s was amazing with step by step instructions, getting our grocery order and delivering it, and helping us rent an additional golf cart. Everything you needed was already at the property to cook and clean, play, and relax next to the ocean. Loved all the wildlife as well!

Island Getaway

Truly a spectacular getaway. Secluded Island living at its best with shell roads and no cars but gorgeous and comfortable home. We did not want for anything. Felt like Abacos in the Bahamas with its rustic charm. The food delivery service is quite convenient, and I highly recommend having the groceries provisioned prior to your arrival. Sea turtles nested at night and the beaches were white and pristine.

Family time

The inside was clean and kitchen well equipped. The location of the home on the beach was awesome! We had a very rocky first 24 hours due to no water in the home and golf cart broke down halfway to the home from the dock but property manager was able to get someone to come fix the first thing the next morning. Outdoor furniture and cushions were dirty and strewn around apparently due to a storm that came through the day before we arrived. My advice for owners is replace outdoor furniture cushions and power wash furniture and repaint. Indoor couch pillows definitely need replacing due to wear and unsuitable for indoor use. The guest showerhead needs replacing as we were unable to use due to inability to adjust the water pressure. Advice to future guests is bring lots of insect repellents and don’t go outdoors at dusk or dawn! The noseeum mosquitoes are relentless. I received hundreds of bites the first night we were there no joking and the itching is excruciating and a week later I am still suffering.

Sunsets, relaxing, sea turtles, tarpon, best vacation ever!

My family and I stayed at Flip Flops for a week and my teens said that this was their favorite vacation! Flip flops is such a perfect place, right ON the breach! Sunsets from the porch, the beach, the patio, every single night. Best view ever! The bonus was that the Sea Turtle nest n the beach in front of the house had its babies emerge July 4th in the middle of the night and we were able to call the North Captiva Sea Turtle folks when we saw a baby sea turtle climbing out of the nest that next morning. We were able to watch two hatchlings go off into the ocean. The house is amazing and had everything you need, plenty of beach toys, noodles, cornhole, board games, so much entertainment! And we did the grocery order through the management company and all the food was put away for us when we arrived. 5 Stars for sure!!!

Gorgeous and ready for visitors!

Best house on the beach! My young family and I stayed here for a week from 3/18 to 3/25. We learned upon arrival we were the first guests since Ian. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Everything has been redone and it is furnished for comfort and is beautiful—better than the pre-Ian photos online. There were many nice touches including an excess of beach towels and linens, and an old school video game table my kiddos loved. The views are *unbelievable*. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and one of the best and most relaxing vacations I have taken in my life. We were nervous about coming to the island post Ian. We did have to drive past some FEMA workers to get to the pool, and there are homes on the island still under construction, but once we were at the property all that fell away (couldn’t even hear it) and we just felt like we were in paradise. The property manager and owner were fantastic and really bent over backwards to make sure had everything we needed. Highly, highly recommend!
