A Beautiful Inlet Hideaway
We had a great stay at FlipFlopsOn--what a lovely spot! From the moment you book, throughout your stay, til the time you sadly leave, Pam and Mark make sure this is a premier booking choice. The decor is decorator lovely and the space immaculately clean. Everything you can think of is provided for a great stay. The location is truly steps from the beach. Inlet Beach is less crowded than its neighbors, but close enough to be convenient. Pam and Mark's online book about the area is amazing, especially for newcomers to 30A as we were. And they are available to answer any and all questions in a timely manner. Truly, they could teach a class on how to be the best rental hosts ever! Sunrise to Sunset, we highly recommend FlipFlopsOn!!

Just as advertised-- convenient, clean, and nice
The sixth floor one-bedroom, two-bathroom condo was very nice, high enough for privacy but low enough for a great view of the sand and water. The owner (Faith) was readily available to answer questions and really easy to work with. You can tell how much she cares that we really relax and enjoy ourselves while renting from her. Even though only two of us stayed there-- due to the bunk beds in the hall alcove, the sleeper sofa in the living room, and the two full bathrooms --it's big enough for a family. Most importantly, the whole condo was nice and clean. We liked using the code lock on the door so we didn't have to carry and keep track of keys for the place. Also convenient was the attached parking garage. We arrived the Saturday after Easter Sunday and there were maybe 30 cars in the parking ramp at any given time. We always got a parking spot near the 2nd floor walkway. The luggage carts were really helpful at the start and end of our stay. The cushioned beach lounge chairs and umbrella service was phenomenal. It was included with our stay and saved us from having to rent beach chairs (as at some other beaches). All we had to do was sit down on the first day (which actually happened to be Tuesday for us, once the rain stopped), and, sooner or later, Christian came by to ask which condo we were in. Right when we gave him the number, he knew it was "Miss Faith's." He asked if we wanted that same set of chairs for the week and he even remembered our names the next day. I would stay in this condo again and I recommend it to anyone else who wants a great beach vacation.

Family Vacation
I can't say enough great things about our stay. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved having the 6 passenger golf cart...it's all you need to get around 30A. Mitch was so great to work with and was always so quick to get back to me when we had a question. Would definitely come back here!

Relaxing Fall Break
Condo is in Tower II, and Tower I only had one elevator working so the wait was long. Tower II has a different address but we were given instructions to take elevator up to level 3 from Tower I and go across the crosswalks around to Tower II to get on the elevator for the room. We could have gotten on the elevators in Tower II to begin with since we flew in and was dropped off by a rideshare. We quickly adjusted the the landscape of the buildings. Over all our stay was very relaxing. The Master suite is huge! The pillows were too firm for my preference but the bed was comfortable and I slept very well. It has a large ensuite but because I'm short, I was unable to adjust the shower head to my height but I made it work. We did have to search for the bath towels and they were located under the sink in the front bathroom. Owners gratefully provided four beach chairs and toys which my 5 year old grandson loved playing with in the sand. This was helpful and cost effective for us since we flew in. On our next visit I hope beach unbrellas are added to the beach accessories. Kitchen appliances and washer and dryer are top of the line. The room is right across from the elevators but it wasn't noisy or distracting. Plenty of games are provided for family play time. We loved having onsite Security and being in walkable distance to other restaurants and even a bowling alley. Sunset were spectacular and being on the 6th floor was perfect. We cannot wait to come back!!

Second Annual Sandestin Trip
This was our family's second trip to Sandestin, and this place was so great for our family of four! There was plenty of space, and we loved the remodeled master suite. The large living area was great to relax in after a long day in the sun. The view from the main window was beautiful. We were able to see the fireworks from the Wharf and I could even see dolphins swimming in the bay. This location was so great. We were just down the way from the main pool. There is no way we would stay in this resort without a golf cart, so it was great that they had an awesome one with this property. It's the most fun, convenient way to get around. Take advantage of some of the items left behind in the outdoor closet for your beach and pool days. The umbrella was such a bonus to have! Even though there aren't real places to set the umbrella up at the pool, we made it work with the chairs. That's the only downside to the main pool. Hopefully they add umbrellas/more shade in the future. The condo is stocked with everything you need, and yes, those mini toiletries did smell great! And let's talk about Courtney. She couldn't have been more great! She was so easy to communicate with. She was helpful with any questions we had, hooked us up with a new coffee pot ASAP when the last had broke, and went SERIOUSLY ABOVE AND BEYOND in helping us with a personal matter we had to deal with. She had no obligation in helping us, but did so with such a cheerful and kind demeanor. We hope to return to this or one of her other properties next year!

We stayed here during early March. It was my husband, our 3 year old, and myself. We were a little worried of the spring breakers but it wasn’t too bad. We were told by others if you are looking for less traffic and people then to go further down as this area of town is pretty busy. The entire condo complex is actually really quiet during the evening. The weather was still a bit colder than what we would have liked. The wind didn’t help either especially being on the 19th floor. We probably got 1-2 swim in ocean days and the rest were spent in the heated pool which was really nice. This unit is in a high raise building complex but it wasn’t too busy. Elevators didn’t take long to get us from our unit down to pool level. The only annoying part for us was they were doing construction right in front so getting to the garage right under the complex was bit of a pain. As far as the condo unit itself, it is very clean. The cleanest condo we have ever stayed in. Host provides a few rolls of toilet paper, one roll of paper towel, washing dish pods, bar soap, iron with ironing board, tv in both bedrooms and living room, 2 coffee machines (regular and Keurig), toaster, small container of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Towels are provided to shower in and the washing and machine was a nicer unit to wash clothes in. Don’t forget laundry detergent soap if you plan to do that. There were left over toys for the beach for our son so we didn’t have to buy or bring any which was nice. Entire place is title so no carpet which was nice. The balcony is huge and views are amazing being on the 19th floor. The balcony goes from master bedroom to the living room. Table, chairs, and bed chairs are provided on the balcony. We don’t have any complaints but the master bedroom bed. It was very loud when trying to lay on it and not that comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the unit we were in.

Took my mom here for Mother’s Day for 5 days and we were very impressed. My mother is handicapped and to get to the beach there were no steps and just a short walk. The boy running the beach chair service was very friendly and helpful. Only downside with him is if your an early beachgoer, he is usually the last one to get chairs set up compared to the other condos. Usually around 9:30 is when he was done. Oh and if you didn’t know, he works strictly on commission so if you want to do any beach activities I would go straight to him. Across the street from the condo is a daiquiri shack which has all sorts of snacks, drinks, beach supplies, even some things like laundry detergent you might have forgot. Now back to the condo. The condo was very clean and had all the cooking utensils you might need. The beds were comfortable (except for the pillows) and everything was beautifully decorated. If you had any questions the owner was extremely quick to respond to texts. The only issue with the condo is the thermostat would automatically turn up to 80 degrees in the middle of the night. I’m sure the owner could of fixed the issue but honestly we forgot to contact her about that. There were two levels of parking underneath the condo and a parking deck across the street with a crosswalk. The view from the balcony on the 15th floor was amazing and we felt very comfortable in this home. We will definitely be back.

Our family had an amazing time staying in this home. From the beginning of our reservation until checkout the owners had wonderful and quick communication. The home was just like the pictures and our family of 8 had plenty of room. The beds were all comfortable, water pressure was wonderful and the house was nice and clean. The amenities such as all the pools, the 18 hole putt putt (owners had clubs for us to use), the easy walk to the beach (even with littles) made it so incredibly nice to have so much to do without even having to take a car ride. The location was also so wonderful that their was so much to do with not having to drive far at all. Our families favorites were spending time at Pier Park (so many shops and restaurants), Frank Brown Park (wonderful for kids of all ages), and Wonder Works. We would definitely stay here again :-)
