Wonderful place to stay

This was a great place to stay for my group of 4 friends. It had everything we needed and was located in a beautiful spot. The only complaint I have is that the ensuite bathroom door sticks and is loud to open and close when others are sleeping.

Great getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was such a short walk, it was so convenient. We played on the tennis courts with the racket and balls provided and even bought a pickleball set to play on our the courts. We would love to come back for a future visit!

Family Spring break in Port A

Was just as advertised plenty of living space for the 8 who stayed there and 4 more that had another unit but spent their time in our unit. Very clean when we arrived recently decorated very tastefully without being over done so that it felt very homey. A great beach and the views of the water were spectacular. Would go back in a heartbeat. The grandkids didn’t want to leave.

Perfect family rental

This location was perfect for our family. It was a nice walk to the beach and when our babies got tired we were able to walk back up to the rental. You need a beach pass to park down on the beach, which can be purchased near by. The rental was very clean and the rooms were all separated by another door which made it perfect for babies. The only down side was the sticking of the doors and the dryer stoping when trying to run it. I recommend this beautiful and convenient, comfortable rental to anyone!
