Great family getaway!
Our family had a great time at the flip flop zone. Tammy reached out before our arrival to give us a heads up on a minor issue. We appreciated the communication. The Oceanside Village area was close to everything you might want to do on vacation. The house was clean, and cute with thoughtful beach decor throughout. The kitchen was so well stocked-we were able to cook each day and had everything we needed. Several grocery stores near by. Our family loves the ocean, and the golf cart made the trip to and from so nice and easy. We spent a day at Huntington Beach State Park, which was so worth the short drive! We played mini golf, and overall just really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend that upon arrival you stop at the office to pick up the key card that gives you access in and out of the beach parking/beach access area, and acces back into OSV. You have to pay 30 bucks for it, but you get 10 dollars back if you return the card. Don't think twice about booking this place!!

Great weekend!!
This property was great. Very clean and as pictured. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two dogs. This is probably one of the best places we’ve stayed as far as cooking appliances, utensils and dishes. It was so nice to have all linens furnished as well. Both beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Very pet-friendly property with good location
Property was located in Oceanside Village, a gated community that has great amenities. Property is pretty close to the beach—a short golf cart ride. And the golf cart is included with the rental, a nice plus. The house is pretty spacious, though the living room is on the small side. Nice screened-in porch and fenced backyard, which my dogs loved! Fenced-in back and side yards are a major plus of the property for pet owners. Kitchen was nicely appointed, and the house had lots of nice amenities overall—beach towels, beach chairs, a beach cooler, etc. The host was very easy to communicate with and was very solicitous. Two of the three beds weren’t very comfortable. Overall, a nice property and a good experience.

Great experience
We had a wonderful stay at Flip Flop Zone. We had a hiccup in the beginning but was taken care of rather quickly. The place was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the front porch very much. Our two dogs loved the dog park and getting lots of walks and rides on the golf cart (which was a great add on). We enjoyed that very much. We would definitely stay again!

Outstanding Communication!
I have to start by giving Tammy Alves a huge shout out! We had to contact her a few times for unexpected matters and she always answered our texts immediately or called me. The property is lovely, my Granddaughter really loved the Golf Cart. I loved the private beach parking for the community and the short walk to the beach. Only problem was I have a small poodle and she could get out of the fence. We will definitely book this property again.
