Fall Colours on the Cabot Trail
We loved your place! Your decor is so cute- just wondering where you got all the “flip flop” accessories. It was wonderful to stay where the coffee and tea was provided. All your toiletries were appreciated also. We liked the outdoor walk down to the platform and your fire pit. Only wish that we had allowed more time to enjoy it! We definitely would recommend your beautiful spot and hope to return ourselves when in the area!

Love the Flip Flops
Wonderful place along the ocean. Nice to have steps down to view of the ocean, seals, dolphins & sunset. Excellent restaurant with great seafood options within walking distance. Still finding flip flop decor on the second day of our stay. Brian was quick to respond to any inquiries. Simply fantastic!
We had a wonderful stay at Flip Flop Villa. We loved everything about it, from the fun beach-themed decor to the spectacular view of the ocean through the back windows. The "secret garden" path to the decks was our favourite part and we were delighted to explore what lay beyond the backyard gate. We enjoyed a good night's sleep in the comfy beds and it was a pleasure to prepare breakfast in the well stocked kitchen. Communication with Elizabeth and Brian was easy and they were quick to respond to our emails. We are very glad that we found Flip Flop Villa for our stay in Cape Breton.
House was so comfortable and beautiful with gorgeous view of ocean! Really loved it

Cutest cabin
Property was so clean and so adorable with the flip flop theme through the whole property . The gate in the back yard reminded of a fairy door and the stairs behind the door down to the look off / landing were sturdy and in the night , well lit . Cleanest cottage I have ever stayed in . Well equipped and comfortable . Sun porch attached has a bar and bar fridge that we really liked . Awesome fire pit area and lots of wood ( to purchase ) available by the pit . We watched the most beautiful sunset on the landing while watching numerous seals play along the shore . One night was not enough . Will definitely book more nights next time . ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We enjoyed our stay on this property. Deck access was great for appetizers before dinner at Mountain View Restaurant just minutes away. The air conditioner was a bit noisy as they always are but the cool air was welcome. Very clean property and we had a great visit!

Ocean access
Steps and path to the ocean from the house allow private sunset viewings.
My friend and I booked our trip somewhat last minute but Brian and Elizabeth were very prompt to message with all the required information for check-in. They also checked in with us the morning of our second day to make sure we had everything we needed. The villa was well stocked with absolutely everything you would need and was nice and clean. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the space as well, overall a great experience!

Great little villa
What a lovely place to stay in. Loved how they have decorated the villa. Very comfortable and an added bonus of a nice garden to sit around the firepit and steps leading down to a couple of places where you can sit and enjoy views of the ocean. Very well situated along Cabot trail. Highly recommended.
This property is a gem on the Cabot Trail, with a charming flip flop theme throughout. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped along with a nice sit around fire pit and a garden door that leads you down to a private ocean front deck with outstanding views and sunsets!!

Absolutely perfect!
The Flip Flop Villa exceeded our expectations! The villa itself was clean, cozy, and decorated so well - we felt like we just arrived at Margaritaville! The view was incredible and the backyard was perfect for our dog to hangout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a seaside escape!

Be sure to climb the stairs down to the platform by the sea, with Adirondack chairs in place to enjoy the spectacular view.

Canada Day Weekend
We had a great weekend! Only thing that wasn't good was one bed squeaked loudly when you rolled over. Enough to wake you up many times a night. Very nice and peaceful deck.
We stayed at multiple places on our trip and this one was by far our favourite. The view from the deck is absolutely gorgeous. The cottage was immaculately clean. We felt so cozy due to the cute decorations. The little porch with the sitting area is such a nice touch. We immediately felt at home when we got there. It is easy to tell that the owners take great pride in providing a comfortable experience for their guests. I loved that there were board games and dvds to choose from. There is a little walkway in the backyard that leads to one of the most beautiful views you could ask for ( greenery and the beach). There was a little restaurant a few seconds down the road called The Rusty Anchor where we had supper and the food was excellent and the service was really great. We went to a little gift shop called Cardinal Points that was also close to the cottage that had lots of souvenirs to choose from and many snack choices to have with our movie. The service at the gift shop was also great. The lady working was so friendly and gave us great tips for the remainder of our stay. Every experience we had in this little community was a pleasant one. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
