Great value and location

This was our first trip to Port A and we wanted beach front and value. This was the perfect place for both. The location of the property was outside town but we didn't mind. The property is older but still very clean. The pool was excellent and it was very family friendly. It has a lot of potential if someone would give some TLC to the gardens and common areas. We will certainly recommend to our friends and family.

Has gone down Hill

We had stayed at this location last year. It has certainly gone downhill. We found our accommodations to have a foul odor. We went & purchased Mr. Clean and Cleaned the entire unit before we unpacked. The Air conditioning vents were moldy and we had to clean them. The tiles are in desperate need of refinishing. The furniture on the Balcony needs to be replaced or refinished as does the balcony railing. The owner of the unit has WAY too much stuff in the unit. it is very cluttered. The pillow on the Sofa needs to be cleaned as does the sofas. we booked the unit for a week and they only left us 2 dishwasher tablets. The quality of the Toilet tissue and Paper towels was poor. The View was excellent. The ice machine in the fridge was not hooked up. which forced us to buy ice. The towels to remove make-up were stained. I would not use them. The mirrors on the wall need to be washed and there were cob webs on the Blinds in the Bedroom windows.

We had a good stay. Unfortunately, it was rainy all weekend and the cable TV was not working due to a power outage before we got there. Luckily, we had games to play. The pool does need some cleaning attention. We would recommend this place overall.
