Family vacation

The booking for this property was real easy. We had a beachfront condo, the only bad thing was that the pier that led to the beach was literally under water and we had to walk a long way to get to another walk way to get to the beach other than that the property was great.

Nice Place for the Price

Overall, it was a nice stay. The beds were not very comfortable, and the sheets were not soft at all. But, for the price, I would say we got what we paid for.

Great location and close to beach

Comfy and cozy place to stay with a quick walk to the beach and easy access to Old Town Port A restaurants and shopping. Management is responsive to issues and questions. Clean and comfortable furniture. Best suited to people intending to eat out or do minimal cooking. Uses communal washer/dryer so bring quarters and no ceiling fans, so a small portable fan for bedtime is useful.

Loved the view and overall quietness of the property. Only complaint I have is the chairs on the balcony left paint stuck to anyone who sat on them. Maybe a different type of chair would be better in the salt air. Other than that, we loved everything about it!

Winter retreat

Overall this is a great location and a clean and comfortable property. I did note that no wash cloths were provided, just hand and bath towels along with floor towels. I stopped by the office and they promised to get me some within an hour or so but they never came with any. This however is not an owner or property issue but apparently just a housekeeper issue.
