Family and island time. Much needed break from a very stressful life. Quiet, serene, relaxing hideaway that we could just find peace in.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was able to get away to Flips Flop House for a ladies long weekend and we enjoyed it so much! Tybee is our new favorite getaway and FFH is in a great location-so quiet and peaceful and a great area for walks! We loved hopping over to AJs for a bite and beautiful views! We had plenty of room for our ladies and owners are so sweet to provide trash bags and other things to accommodate guests. We love the charm of these older beach homes! Don’t ever change!!!
