Great little getaway

We enjoyed our stay. It’s was the perfect location for us. It was a good neighborhood and quiet at night. Great shopping and restaurants were just minutes away. The house was very clean and bed was comfortable. They provided all the essentials we needed to make it feel like home away from home. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip to Galveston.

Perfect location!!

We stayed in Galveston on 10-25 and 10-26-2024. The location was perfect for getting around the island with restaurants and the gulf close by. The owners do a great job of communicating through the entire process. We would definitely stay at the Flamingo again.

Perfect Beach Cottage

The family and I had a relaxing stay at the well appointed Flip Flop Flamingo in beautiful Galveston Texas! Beds were comfortable and blackout curtains were a plus. Convenient location near the beach and many restaurants but on a quiet street. Would stay again.

Great getaway!

We had an amazing time during our stay for my husband's birthday! We loved the hot tub and the bikes as well. The only thing I would say is that you're close to the neighbors, and unfortunately for us, our neighbors were outside playing music throughout the day. Which, was only slightly annoying when we were outside in the hot tub. The house stays pretty quiet inside. The beds are extremely comfortable and the house stayed relatively cool. We highly recommend this house for your next getaway!!
