We loved the house. Big enough we can spread out some if we need to. Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pans and dishes. We only ate out 2 times so it worked good for our family! We stayed here in 2021 and loved it them too!

Spring Break Baseball Tournament

We had a great spring break at the property. There were 3 families staying at the house for a baseball tournament. The house was a great size to accomodate all three families. We were a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive to grocery shopping. Even the baseball locations and restaurants were close. Fun week!

Family Vacation

Flip Flops was a great house for our large family vacation. Each group had their own room/bathroom and the kids loved the bunk room. The balconies were so nice to do some reading and chatting. The pool was great and we used it multiple times per day. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We could easily walk or take a couple golf cart trips to carry our things if needed.

Flip Flops Family Vacation July 8 thru July 15, 2023

We enjoyed our stay at Flip Flops very much. The house was very clean and decorated beautifully. My family likes a place to be clean so we very much appreciated that. There was plenty of room for the 9 adults and two children. And the dining/living/kitchen area was very nice and large enough to easily accommodate all of us. The distance to the beach was only a short walk or you could use the golf cart which we did rent and shuttled our beach stuff back and forth. Very good restaurants nearby with great seafood. Enjoyed our vacation very much with all our immediate family and Flip Flops was a very important part of that experience. The pool was very clean and nice. We liked the privacy of our own pool. Hope we can stay at Flip Flops sometime in the future. Also, Cathy was a very kind and gracious host and answered all our questions very promptly. She made our reservation experience very easy. Thank uou Cathy.

Great Location

Upon arrival the house was clean and orderly and very inviting. We had ample space for every family member to move around and we never felt confined or over crowded. The front porch was a great place to sit and have our morning coffee. Road noise was very minimal making it enjoyable to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. The only downside of the porch was a large palm tree blocking the view of the ocean but could be easily rectified with a little tree trimming. The pool is s a nice feature and the grandkids enjoyed it but was unable to stay in very long due to the pool temp being set only at balmy 73 degrees. The pool man said that the owners have to give him permission to turn the heater on. This was my only downfall during our stay at the property. The location also makes for a very easy and leisurely stroll to the beach. Cathy McClure is an outstanding host and a very personable woman ensuring that the house was in order for our arrival. She made you feel comfortable and answered questions promptly. I didn’t feel as “just another” renter making everything relaxing. Thank you Cathy!! We definitely would consider staying again. Respectfully Submitted, Scott

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOUSE!!! We have not ever had such a horrible experience. The AC went out upstairs on Sunday and they fixed it. It went out again on Monday and wasn't going to be fixed until Friday. Cathy expected us to stay in the house with fans without AC in July. It never got below 80 degrees inside. Fans did nothing to help. She then said she would refund our money. She went back on her word and is not refusing to refund us. If you have already booked here, cancel and book somewhere else. Trust me. You do not want to deal with all the issues in this house. Other issues: 1) The pool area has been very neglected. There are lots of weeds, broken pool chairs, and cracked concrete. 2) There is a pipe draining into the road in front of the house. It created a huge puddle nonstop that smelled like sewer. 3) The beach is dirty and insanely crowded. 4.) Many upstairs outlets did not work. 5.) All lights flickered on and off. This was especially noticeable after we plugged in the fans. The biggest issue that cannot be ignored is no AC. At the beach, in July, with 5 small children. It’s not safe for babies to sleep in those temperatures and doesn’t make for a pleasant vacation. Everyone sleeping on couches and air mattresses when we paid for 5 bedrooms is unacceptable. We had to throw away so much food. We grabbed enough for the week and a lot of it had to go in trash. We paid for a week of golf cart use that we now can’t use. I am flabbergasted that she said she would refund us and then refused. SHe knew Sunday the AC had a leak and was extremely old. Expecting us to stay there with temps over 80 is ridiculous. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Garden City Beach Area

This was a very nice location and house. The house was very nice and lived up to all of the information in the listing. We were able to make the short walk to the beach access or could take the golf cart we rented from the owner. We were fine with our location but if you wanted to be closer to the heart of Myrtle Beach and it's attractions you were about a 30 minute drive depending on traffic. We did drive there a few times but there is also enough food/shopping/and some entertainment within the Garden City area too. Overall a wonderful family vacation.

We had a fantastic week. The process from booking to checking in to communication with the owner was great. House was setup very nice, close enough to beach to walk, or use the golf cart.

Good time had by all!

I had never used VRBO before and was nervous about it, but Cathy was great to work with and the property was ideal for our family of 8 adults and 7 children ranging from 2 (celebrated her birthday on the beach) to 7 years old. We rented the golf cart, which really added to the convenience, especially for exploring the area. We cooked and ate in most meals—plenty of room! The beverage coolers were a great touch too. Loved the pool! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Garden City Getaway

Nice property that is very close to the beach. The optional golf cart was handy for my wife and the small children to use back and forth to the beach. There was ample room for our party of 7 adults and 2 small children. I had a couple of questions after our arrival and within an hour the nearby caretaker had addressed them. That is a great feature of this property.
