HOUSE
RULES
We
want your stay at the Flip Flop Inn to be
a pleasant one. We understand that you come
to the beach to relax from the everyday stresses
of life and ask that you be considerate of
others, so that everybody can enjoy the splendor
of North Topsail Beach.
Because
the Flip Flop Inn is located in the The Village
of Stump Sound, community rules are in place
to ensure the peace, serenity and enjoyment
of all guests, residents and owners.
The
Flip Flop Inn is a nonsmoking house and pets
are not permitted.
Rules
are strictly enforced and violations may result
in fines or surcharges being applied against
the property owners. If a rule is violated
by a guest of the Flip Flop Inn, any fine
or surcharge applied may be passed on to the
guest.
A
copy of the house rules are posted at the
Flip Flop Inn and are available in advance
upon request.
There
is ample parking in the driveways and under
the house. All vehicles must be parked only
on Flip Flop Inn property, not on roads or
common areas.
A
Village of Stump Sound sticker is required
for vehicles parked in clubhouse parking area.
Vehicles in the clubhouse parking area without
sticker are subject to being towed at the
vehicle owner's expense.
Boats
and trailers may only be parked under the
house. Parking boats or trailers in the driveway,
on the streets or on community property is
prohibited. Off-site parking is available.
Locations are posted on Clubhouse bulletin
board.
Trash
is collected on TUESDAY AND FRIDAY mornings
from Memorial Day through Labor Day (Tuesdays
only during the off-season).
Trash
receptacles may be put out on Monday and Thursday
nights only. After trash pickup, trash
receptacles must be promptly returned to an
area of the property not visible from the
street. Flip Flop Inn guests are responsible
for putting out and taking in trash receptacles.
There
is a beach crossover near the Flip flop Inn
as well as a walkway to the beach through
the village clubhouse. DO NOT WALK ON ANY
PART OF THE DUNES. Walking on the dunes can
erode them and put the island and property
at risk during severe weather and high tides.
Beach
umbrellas, towels or other items may not be
placed or hung on the decks or walkways. Please
keep the decks and walk areas free from obstructions
at all times.
The Village
of Stump Sound community swimming pool is
open during the summer months from sunrise
to sunset. No more than 40 persons are allowed
inside the pool area at a time. Access to
the pool and capacity limits are enforced
by a pool monitor.
Pool passes
are required to use the pool. Eight (8) passes
are provided to Flip Flop Inn guests. (Lost
badges will require a replacement fee to be
assumed by the guest). Additional daily passes
may be purchased for your stay. Unused daily
passes may be returned for a refund. Please
indicate how many passes you will need when
you book your vacation.
There
is NO LIFEGUARD at the pool. Children under
16 must be accompanied by an adult (21 or
older) unless they have passed an American
Red Cross intermediate level of swimming.
Children
who are not toilet trained must wear diapers
and tight-fitting rubber pants or commercial
swim diapers. We don't want nuggets floating
in the pool.
Sand and
salt must be rinsed off before entering pool.
Please use the shower on the beach catwalk
or at the end of the pool.

is no running or diving permitted.
Loud or
offensive language or behavior will not be
tolerated. Please do not play radios and other
recording devices loudly. Offensive or unruly
behavior may result in guests being evicted
from the pool.
No glass

An emergency
telephone is located at the end of the pool
and a First Aid Kit is located next to bulletin
board on the outside clubhouse wall.

waiting to play. Tennis shoes are required.
