Excellent location

The house is better than listed. Upstairs bedroom is huge with 3 full size beds and one twin (bunk beds). The location is fantastic. Close to everything downtown and not far to the beach. The listing doesn’t show bbq grills but there are some there. We had a great time and the house is beautiful. Would recommend and look forward to staying again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another great stay. The bug guy took care of "that" issue. No good blankets for the cold weather but we robbed the other beds to stay warm. Truly did NOT like having plain glass on the door where everyone passing by could see clear through to the bedroom so we covered it with brown paper. Lovely set of cookware this year so easy to cook.

Happy beach crew

We come to Port A every summer and we hit the jackpot this time! This condo was super clean with all the amenities anyone could hope for with a larger group. Great layout - we felt like we had plenty of space and the 3 bathrooms were so appreciated!! Really nice little pool area right outside our door. The community grounds were very clean and well taken care of. We walked to my favorite coffee spot every morning! It’s so close to everything in town. We will definitely return!

Clean and Relaxing

Overall great place to stay. Sunsets are behind you which makes for a nice evening out on the porch or pool. Very clean. One small issue is this is a 10-person place with only two parking spaces. Poor site plan considering it’s unlikely there would be only two vehicles especially with cart rentals for that size of a group. Otherwise, really nice place and well kept. Beach isn’t too far. Easy commute.

The rental was clean and had plenty of room for our party of eight. There is dedicated parking for 2 vehicles close to the rental which made loading and unloading easy. You have to pick up/drop off keys at a separate location but it was an easy process. It would be nice if there was a lockbox entry though because keeping track of physical keys at the beach is not my favorite. We will definitely be back, it is one of favorite places we've stayed in Port A.

Love the Location

This place was great to stay and that was just minutes away from the beach. We love the pool that was just for this small private property that was right outside our front door. It was just big enough for our kids to enjoy. The cleanliness had a minor issue. We did have a one year-old crawling around on the floor and after 15-20 minutes, her top part of her foot, along with her knees, were black from the carpet and tile. Everything else with the house was very good, cleanliness wise. The management even was kind enough to help us find my son’s games that were left accidentally under a bed. Would definitely come back again.
