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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great stay in Port A

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: We rented Saltwater Hippie for a 4-night stay and wished we could have stayed longer. This property was perfect for our family (me, husband, adult son, daughter-in-law, and 9-month-old grandbaby). The layout worked since my son and his family took the main bedroom, which had easy access to the kitchen for middle-of-the-night wakeups. With them upstairs and us using the well-appointed bedroom and bathroom downstairs, they never bothered us or woke us up, which was nice. The unit is located in the heart of Port A, which we loved. It was a short cart ride to anything we wanted to do, and our truck never left the driveway. We also enjoyed that the backyard of this particular unit is fairly private and not backed up to the pool area. The pool was also a great item with the shaded area and lots of shallow lounging and play area for our little one. We couldn't have imagined a better stay!
