Beach days are made even easier with beach chairs and sand toys available for your use.

Perfect stay in Port A!

The house was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. The host was easy to communicate with and gave great details ahead of our stay - check in was as simple as using the provided code! The best part was how close we were to the beach — just a quick walk or easy ride in the golf cart away! Parking is a bit tight in the neighborhood, so if you’re bringing several cars or a boat, it’s worth planning ahead, but we had no issues. Our family (and our dog!) had a wonderful time and would definitely book again!

Property was exactly as described. Everything was perfect. The location was fantastic!! Private board walk to beach enters the beach at mile marker 8. Kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and simple amenities. Extra blankets were great as some family members got cold at night. 2 bathrooms were a plus. Also, having tv's in each room was a bonus. Can't wait to go back. One more thing, the use of golf cart was amazing!!! You never know what to expect when booking rentals but this property exceeded my expectations.

Great location right next to the beach.

I had an amazing experience staying here! The house was immaculately clean and just a short 100-yard stroll to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. The host was very communicative, easy to reach, and extremely accommodating. The pictures online don’t do the place justice; the actual house was much nicer than the photos suggest.
