We had a GREAT stay/time @ the Flip flop inn. The house was clean and roomy. It had everything we needed and more. We really ENJOYED fishing, paddle boarding, and boating on the river it is BEAUTIFUL. We used the fire pit almost every night. The yard is large with plenty of room to park. The boat ramp, state park/head springs, grocery stores and shopping are all close by. Juanita was a kind and thoughtful host. We would stay again.
We enjoy watching the family of otters right across the river, and the kids snorkle and had a blast, property is downstream of KP hole. Property has many room, basic kitchen needs. Bathrooms have plenty of towel, but remeber to bring your own toiletries. Manager was very responsive and flexible.
After a scorching Florida summer, the Flip Flop Inn was the perfect destination to enjoy cool crystal water, nights to star gaze under the big full moon, and lots of peace and quiet. We'll be back!
Everything was easy, check in to check out. May not have any spices hanging around the kitchen but had more than enough chairs, towels and all kitchen equipment. Perfect stay for us to be on the water.
You can't get a better location if you want to enjoy Rainbow River. Has steps that take you from the property right into the river. About .6 miles upstream of KP Hole. Convenience store down the street. Small place but packs in 4 bedrooms and you really only want to be inside when eating and sleeping anyway. This isn't a 5 star resort so don't expect that, its a nice little manufactured home in a 5 star location.
Second time staying here, perfect location. We played in the water all day, perfect for kids and adults. Thank you Juanita!
Another amazing stay at Rainbow Springs…we come at least once a year. Accommodations were clean and there is everything you need in the house to prepare your own meals, play some board games if the weather isn’t co-operating and plenty of towels. Can’t wait to come back soon!
This property was amazing! It’s 1/4 mile down from the spring head. Easy to kayak or paddle board up the river. Crystal clear water with steps into the water. Great spot for fishing. The house is very clean. Had everything you need for cooking and a charcoal grill. We brought three kayaks and a paddle board with us. The property provides some floats for tubing down the river. Close to everything you need (Walmart, Winn-Dixie, aldi, fast food and downtown antique district) we would definitely stay here again!
Pros: The flip flop in is clean and quiet. It's quite a bit upstream from the KP hole, so you don't hear the ruckus of the tubers entering the river. Paddling leisurely up stream about 15 houses and you enter the state park waters. 15 minutes above that and you're at the head springs! Being able to paddle upstream and float back down to the flip-flop inn was wonderful. No hassle of trying to get parking or dropping off a vehicle at the takeout of Blue run. Plenty of outside seating and a beautiful fire pit. Everything you need inside as far as kitchenware and shower and beach towels. The air worked great and the house smelled fresh. Cons: No provided vessels. No kayaks or paddle boards to go upstream. They did however have some tubes available. Thankfully they keep their nightly price on the lower side because of this. Understand it's a long trip down to Blue run if you're going to float down So pack drinks and food (in non-disposable packaging like Tupperware rubbermaid or thermos brands as exposable items are illegal) The only thing that holds this place back from being a five-star stay are the mattresses. They very badly need to be replaced. Hopefully this is on their agenda now that the tourism industry is on the upswing post COVID. Overall we had a fantastic day. It was quiet and relaxing. Sitting on the stairs and having morning coffee watching a few people kayak past is just priceless.
Gathered girlfriends from all over for a BIG Birthday celebration! Spent most time on the knoll watching the river go by laughing with coffee or cocktails! Beds were comfy, kitchen was basic but had what we needed. Family room could use an update - awkward furniture but like I said we spent our time outside. Entrance to river was easy to get kayaks down but a brush near the steps would be helpful for the algae growth (which is normal). Quiet neighborhood. Great spot!
We love it here. Perfect spot on the river. Will be booking for next year soon!
This is a beautiful and peaceful part of Rainbow River. The house was perfect for our adult children and toddler grandsons. We enjoyed seeing wildlife and being able to kayak and paddle the river. Great choice!
We had a great time at the Flip Flop Inn- easy access to the River and lots of amenities
The double wide was comfortable with lots of room. Launching our own kayak was doable, but the bank was steep and awkward. The location on the river was excellent; gorgeous water! The property needs upkeep and some attention but the inside was clean and organized with all you could need for a fun time on the beautiful Rainbow River!
Cabin was very comfortable and clean. Easy access to river from back porch. Well appointed and well taken care of. We will be back for sure.
This was a second stay at the flip flop inn. We enjoyed it very much. Great location, comfortable and easy to work with. Would love to return agian
We had scarcely left the property before we began asking one another: How soon can we come back? The Flip Flop Inn is a lovely destination, situated on one of Florida's most beautiful rivers. The home is well appointed, so cozy, and with lots of overhead tree canopy that provides great shade in the summer. Perfect getaway, just right for couples or a family, peaceful and serene. We love this place. Cat & Rex - Bradenton, FL
I stayed at Flip Flop for a week with 2 adult sons and brother. It provided a great gathering point for other family members who live in the area to visit us. We enjoyed swimming and snorkelling, kayaking, bird watching, and the lovely big yard with ample chairs overlooking the river for long conversations.
Had a great time.We love the river and nice to walk outside down the steps and right into river.
Nice property very friendly host
Great spot on Rainbow River. Good communication from owner. Relaxing weekend.
We had a beautiful weekend with family and friends. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. You will not find a better location on the Rainbow. It was a 20 minute paddle up river to the state park. We will be back.
We enjoyed our weekend on the rainbow river. The location was great. The house set up worked well for grandparents on one side family with kids on the other side. Nice and spacious. Liked it so much we booked for another weekend in the winter. We'll be back!!
