Pretty Good

The main reason we stayed here was the private pool. It was nice to have, but wasn’t cleaned so I had to clean it before we used it and could only get it so clean with a skimmer no vacuum. Mostly sand in the bottom I assume from previous guest, a couple tiny dead crabs, and some hair, twigs, and leaves. It’s an older house, but was as clean as it could be and most importantly smelled clean. Older furniture and appliances, but I think that was clear from listing photos. Overall it was pretty good. For the price we wouldn’t stay there again. It’s already expensive. Spend a little more and get an updated place.

Nice place in a good location

The place was very clean. The pool was also clean and a nice place to kick back. The downstairs bathroom came in very handy for 6 old farts. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed here last year and loved it. This year the place wasn’t as clean and beginning to look run down. It needs some house and pool repairs.

Nice beach home. Exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

Down by the sea was a fun house to spend a few nights for our kids fall break. It was close to restaurants and a short drive to the ocean. The pool was well kept. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

Nice home with private pool

This is our second time staying in this house. Home was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen items. Private pool is great after day at the beach. Some outdoor lighting including pool, stairs, and restroom were not functioning this time but we still enjoyed our time there.

Great Island Stay!

The house was exactly as described! My kids loved the pool. The house was comfortable and clean. The outdoor bathroom was a nice touch. There was a storm and the power went out and I was able to immediately contact the property management about this. The power went back on and I was I touch with the property management the whole time! Would stay again!

Wonderful home!

This home is just what we were looking for. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within a mile of town. Everything was perfect. Clean, spacious for a family with children, and an amazing pool with toys! We will be booking again spring 2024!

Great Time in Port A

House was perfect for the three of us and our small dog. Pool was nice to have, we used it every day. Everything is so close in Port A, just a few minutes to anywhere in a golf cart. One thing I did learn is that the island has a number of coyotes so be aware if you are bringing small dogs with you.

Need a lot of maintenance and upgrades

I love that it’s Close to stores and the beachfront . I don’t like that they don’t have the pool heated and the pool lights. The rooms are aceptables, perfect for a family of 7 . Is a quiet area .

Great space with pool

Enjoyed the weekend with two kids. Space was perfect for our family of four. Having private pool (although a little cold due to time of year) was still a great way to relax after the beach. Property stocked with towels and toiletries was a plus. Plenty of Bunk beds to choose from was fun for kids as well. Plenty of parking and close to most shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again. Thanks!

Our short stay

It was nice overall, things to consider if it’s not summer there is not an additional bathroom downstairs :/ i mean con on…… the BBQ has seen better days and needs some new parts or to be replaced. The kitchen living room is a lot bigger than the pictures give them credit. We would stay again.

Great stay ! We enjoyed every day!

We love the pool , my kids didn’t want to leave they want to star forever they said . There where some Little issues but they were fixed on time. Pretty close to the beach. Stores and restaurants. I love the privacy and quietness. Our family really enjoyed our little vacation and staying at this house make it a plus! We are looking forward to coming back!
