We enjoyed our stay Flip Flop Flamingo. Comfortable, great location, walked to beaches and restaurants and The Strand. Hot Tub is excellent. Quirky old house was fun.
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.
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.
We absolutely loved this historic oasis! Location is perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The hit tub wss definitely a bonus. I recommend this property for anyone wanting to be centrally located but out of the tourist hustle and bustle.
Flip Flop Flamingo is a amazing place to stay at....looks small from the outside till you open that front door and see what's inside. you get a nice warm feeling when you step in this place. Very spacious....clean. Its located near so many sites....We'll be back for another stay soon.
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.
Me and my husband and our fur baby stayed here for a mini honeymoon. Galveston is where we had our first date so it’s a very special place for us. This place was in the greatest location, close to all the great parts of Galveston, The Strand and The Seawall. We loved riding the bikes and using the hot tub after exploring, it was very relaxing. Very cute and quaint place, would highly recommend it for a small group or family get away. We loved riding the two person bike!
Really enjoyed our stay, Monday through Friday. Nice location, friendly neighborhood, close to everything.
All we needed in the kitchen and baths was available. EASY CKEANUP!
We had a great time, we weren't at the property long due to sight seeing and at the beach, but while we were there it was very comfortable and a great place to stay.
Good location, within walking distance of the Galvez. Nice hot tub, although the bedding was a bit sparse, and the entry door key code was too long to memorize, and a bit overdone!
Alot of charm in this cute cottage. It was obvious the owners are proud of this rental and we truly enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was a nice bonus!

Great communication with the owners and everything went well!
