Walking distance to everything

We loved our stay here! Walking distance to town and close to beach. I will say, the parking was tight. We had a small suv and two cars that barely fit. Also, the check in information was sent 30 minutes after 4pm. Other than that, it was great! The bathrooms were amazing and we loved having the balcony and back yard.

My family and I and joyed our stay at the Oasis. The property is well maintained and clean. The property has many of the needs you need as if you were at home like washer, dryer, and dishwashing machines. This is a place I would recommend to all who have a large family due to the amount of abundant of space of the house. We loved that everything was at walking distance or close by. We have nothing but good things to say about the spot and the excellent customer service when I did call for information. Hope to stay here again on our next vacation down at Port A.

Great place to stay.

Communication was great during booking and checkin. Good location close to town and the beach. We had access a pool across the street which was nice after a long day at the beach. We would stay here again.

Room was beautiful and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The pool was dirty on Monday when we arrived but Tuesday through Friday was clean. We rented a golf cart to get to and from the beach, 5min drive. I would stay here everytime we come back

Great place w/ two masters

Great place with coastal style. Close to shops and restaurants. Unit is at front of community so parking seems a little tight for a double cab Chevy truck and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Noise from showers on adjoining walls might be a little loud for some. Other than that - don’t pack your baggage/coolers too heavy since the kitchen is upstairs and you have to carry it all upstairs (assuming you bring your own groceries rather than shop at IGA). One master upstairs and one downstairs. Not under your control - pool area had unaccompanied youngsters (age 10-14 maybe) and some litter lying around. Too much shade for pool area - didn’t seem as bright as website. Vegetation seems to invite mosquitoes. Also not under your control - dang Texas size mosquitoes at front and back door and at pool area. And IGA was out of citronella pots. Would we do it again - ABSOLUTELY!

Summer Vaca

The house was perfect! My husband and I took our son and his girlfriend on our summer vacation before we take him to FL for college! We took the upstairs and the kids took the downstairs room! We forgot our games but thanks to a box of Dominoes in the closet we had plenty of fun at night! Great location and very well decorated and stocked! Definitely would stay again!

4th of July Beach Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Saltwater Hippie. It was clean and comfortable and would love to go back. An extra perk was front row seats to the 4th of July fireworks.
