House was perfect! Everything in pics was exactly the same in person. Very friendly and made it a perfect weekend! We would definitely stay here again.

The location was terrific, with a beautiful stretch of beach easily accessible nearby. And the quality of the home was top notch. It’s clear a lot of time and care has been put in to keeping things in great shape. But for our family, it was the kid friendly touches (toys, books, beach gear on hand, outdoor shower) that made this spot ideal. Alice was a great host, too, with frequent, helpful messages. We defiantly could see ourselves here again. I don’t want to leave such a glowing review, because I want this hidden gem all to ourselves!

This is a great multi-family property. The house was well supplied and clean when we checked in. The hosts were very communicative and accommodating.

Our family of four (ages 12 & 15) enjoyed every aspect of Flip Flops & Applesauce for a relaxing beach week. We enjoyed the great patio space, furniture, and swings on every level for quiet reading, conversation, and ocean breezes. House has a full arsenal of beach gear & wagon. We played ping pong, PacMan arcade, and lots of card & board games. Kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, & bedrooms all equipped to show up with swim trunks & beach gear. ~7 min straight walk to quiet beach. Responsive host with easy check-in. ~5 min drive to two good dining options in north Jamaica Beach. ~15 min drive to most places in Galveston: grocery, many more restaurants, other entertainment. Would book again

My family (husband, mom, and 16 month old daughter) stayed here for a long weekend - we just got back and are already thinking about our next visit! The home had everything we needed for our 16 month old, and the location to the beach was perfect. We spent a lot of time with her on the main deck and I spent quite a bit of time on the upstairs deck, reading and relaxing. Mark and Alice were truly wonderful hosts and we will definitely be coming back!

This home exceeded our expectations. We were amazed about how family and kid friendly the property was. From the unlimited amount of board games to the pac-man arcade to the baby high chair, this property is worth every penny. Loved the location to the beach. Anything and everything needed in the kitchen, clocks and radios in every room!!! We will definitely plan a trip back.

This house was fantastic and so close to the beach! It was super clean and the neighborhood was perfect and quiet! The home was beautiful and we absolutely loved every second! Will definitely book again in the future! And the owners were great at responding to questions fast and very pleasant! 10/10 for sure!

Two families came together to celebrate Mimi's 60th birthday. The room set up was perfect for our group & it was the best place we've ever stayed for kids! There was a great selection of toys and helpful items for the beach, a ton of fun things to do at the house, the kitchen has a bunch of stuff in it to make cooking a breeze, and the hosts were great with all their tips and recommendations! We rented a golf cart from one of their recommended vendors and it was great! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Wonderful, fully stocked beach house
This was our second time staying at this house. I love that it is so fully stocked and the owners communicated with us a lot. The only reason for a lower star was the cleaning crew was still there after check-in time. But we love this house and will probably be back. It's great for 2 families to share.

Excellent beach stay
All was great; except complaints about uncomfortable beds on main floor and TV in main room never worked. Could watch DVD’s though.

My brothers and I rented this great place for our moms 60th birthday. We had family from ages 4-60 and the place was great for everyone. Short walk to the beach and the cabin was stocked with everything you can think of !

We loved our stay. The house was perfect for two families with small kids (ages 3 and 6). There were so many great toys and books and games. The kids had a blast and so did the grown ups! We definitely hope to stay here again!

The Perfect Family Retreat
This was such a wonderful stay for our three families (3 couples and 4 kids) getting together. The open vast space and tall ceilings of the living room, kitchen and dining area was the scene of resting, relaxing, family dancing, eating, puzzle-doing, talking to each other while cooking and oh so much fun. The foosball table and table tennis were the highlight of the 6 year old and 76 year old’s time, especially during rainy nights, while others also enjoyed the kites and beach stuff available to use. The beds were cozy and for those particular about firmness of beds, I’d test them out and choose the one you most prefer. For our toddler, we moved one of the kiddo mattresses from the bunk beds to our room to create a little bed. There’s also an extra cot, so our family had so many options to make things work. The proximity to the beach was perfect as we got to enjoy short family walks to the ocean, while still being able to see the ocean from the window. The kitchen is perfect with all the plates/pots/pans/etc you would have in your own home. The deck attached to the living room/kitchen was spacious for eating, coffee-drinking, relaxing and blowing bubbles.:). There were also so many books and games available for young and old which also made it feel like home. Alice, the host, was very responsive and the attention to detail that she put into this VRBO shows her amazing hospitality and care. Every member of our family (from the 1 year old to 76 year old) loved this stay and we are grateful for a wonderful, spacious, thoughtful space that provided incredible memories!

Could not have been better!
The house is wonderfully appointed and great for families, even those with little ones. The layout is very comfortable for multiple families getting together. The kitchen is notably well-stocked with quality items to cook with. Fridge was clean and we used water and ice from the fridge without any issue. I've stayed at many vacation rentals in Galveston and this home offered the most comforts that I've experienced. It felt like I was staying at home. Would definitely come back!

Amazing house! It has everything you need.
It’s was super easy to rent this house for the week and the Host answered any questions we may of had and also gave us some helpful hints for the trip.

This house 🏠 was great, exceeded our expectations. The house is so close to the beach you can see it from both upper decks. The young ones enjoyed the old fashioned video console with the old fashioned games (pac-man, galaxy etc.).
The other amenities (beach chairs/tent/shade and toys) the owners provide made our beach excursions worthwhile. I highly recommend this house to families looking for a beach getaway.

Family Friendly Home
Our family had a great time here celebrating our daughters birthday. Alice and Mark have a wonderful home, where they’ve truly thought of everything you could need while staying at the beach with small children. Plenty of cooking necessities to make meals for your family, a charging station in case you forgot a phone charger, toys and games… the list goes on! It’s nicely cleaned and well maintained. The only thing we would suggest needing a change would be the beds. They were rather hard for all of us, but that most definitely didn’t ruin the trip.

This is our second time to stay at Flip-flops and Applesauce and we loved it just as much as the first time. This time we took advantage of the bikes with daily rides around the neighborhood. Our teenagers....and adult boys loved the Atari table top game. My youngest son even learned how to play the guitar that was in the closet. This property is perfect, because it has everything you need for the beach and the owners are very hospitable.

Excellent family vacation house
This house was perfect for our extended family. It is very clean and well kept and has everything you’d need for a great beach vacation. Our kids loved the pac man table top arcade and all the children’s books. We also really appreciated the outdoor shower (with hot water!) for rinsing off before going inside. Overall, great location and great house!

The common space had a small guitar and a Pac-Man game and a television that was hooked up to the Internet and everything was working. Space was clean and inviting – there were games to play (you’ve got to play “What does that meme?” - it’s in the wooden dresser/hutch with some other board games). We rode some of the bikes around town, there was parking space and a very lovely overall experience. When the refrigerator/freezer was not working, Alice helped us figure out a solution.
