Weekend getaway with a baby

We rented this property for our first vacation with an infant. It couldn't have been more perfect. Plenty of privacy if you have multiple families. It was a lot of house for our little family, but so worth it for the pool!

Great house with lots of room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Extended family came for spring break. The house/pods are perfect for larger families. I loved the decor in each house. The house has everything you need to relax. But the main attraction to this property is the outside deck and pool. The water was freezing but we had to get into the pool. Port A Escapes was easy and great to work with.

Best House in Port A!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house truly has it all! Our kids absolutely loved the pool and the fact it was deep and shallow . They played a continuous game of Marco Polo every chance they got !! The house was stocked with every type of dish , pan, utensils you could think of . They had extra fans in every room to use if you needed. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area by the pool made things super convenient. The only thing was parking wasn’t the best but we managed !

Perfection

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was even better than the pictures show. The brown kitchen (in pics) isn’t the correct kitchen. It’s even better...We always get a house with a pool for the kids. But this wasn’t a regular pool. This was awesome. They had more fun and could fit big floats in the giant pool. The house itself is incredible. It was perfect for Spring Break. We had the big crowds, but we had our own huge gated outdoor area to enjoy without the crowds, too. The house was clean and very well stocked with anything we could have needed. The house lighting made our house stand out from down the street. If you want a house that stand out from any house on the island, this one is it! Everyone wanted to see this beautiful property! Plenty of room for everyone to be together but we also had ample space. If you’re in between choosing houses, choose this one!!! Everyone will be talking about it for weeks! We can’t wait to come back this summer!

A house we will talk about for years to come! It was rad, comfortable, spacious: "one of a kind" was invented for this property!!!We were a group of 7: 3 moms and 4 teens - and this house was beyond amazing. Every time we turned around, there was a part of the house or property that we hadn't seen yet! There is plenty of space inside and out. The pool is beyond anything you've seen for Port A properties, it can't be beat. The location is within the golf cart zones. We went to the fishing pier, the beach, the shops, parasailing, the ceramic shop-- y'all can get to everything in P.A. by cart from this location, which was super important to us.I'm 100% Texan and we know about creepy crawlers, especially at night, and around water and wood and older establishments....The only reason I'm at 4.99999998.... stars is because we could not enjoy the game room due to this. Bummer, because it was a really cool space that our boys were excited about.Y'all, this house is what our family will remember for years. The kids won't stop talking about it. The newer homes and construction are beautiful and made the planning of my trip take for ever! (and i looked at TONS of homes, but I'm telling you, this is the one. ) Be adventurous, get your family and/or besties together, and stay at the place that can be seen for blocks and will create memories for life. You will love it! *To the owners, Thank you for sharing it *

Almost perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the pod house! Great for all family of all ages. The only reason I did not give 5 stars on all is because the lighting in the main pod is not bright at all and very dark. The pans that are there to use to cook were not great selection so we will take our own next time and lastly the main door was the biggest struggle to open and unlock with the key and we had to call the main office because we could not lock the property when we checked out. Overall great stay and would be perfect with those things listed being improved.
