Great Place to Stay

This property had everything we wanted - Short walk to the beach, great pool, and tons of activities for an energetic group of teenage boys. The unit was just perfect and had lots of space. Great view of the water! We loved it!

Family stay in Port A

Our first (but not last) visit to Port A. This condo is in a great location, with easy access to the beach. Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay, with plenty of room for all. Pictures are very accurate (important when trying to pick a place on behalf of your whole family - including in-laws!). Beautiful condo with great view! Washer and dryer were a welcome bonus. Wi-Fi was not great, and extra supplies (toilet paper / wash cloths) not super easy to get from office - but that's on the management company... We truly enjoyed our stay - and would happily stay here again - thank you!

Clean and Comfortable Stay!

We enjoyed the property very much! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Rental instructions were clear and concise. The only recommendation I have is that the flat, old pillows on the King and Queen beds be replaced. Will stay again!

Great location!

Proximity to the beach was excellent, just a 3-4 minute walk. The place was clean and office staff and maintenance were great! However, there were a couple of roaches in the kitchen and master bathroom.

Thumbs up on Island Retreat stay (with a bit of "thumbs down")

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The actual condo was perfect for our stay. Photos did not disappoint. It was neat, organized, well stocked. Comfortable beds.... plenty of blankets, extra pillows and towels. Just remember to bring your own beach towels. Well decorated and modern interior! Check in went well. HOWEVER, there was a leak under the kitchen sink which was reported immediately upon discovering. Also reported that the refrig. ice-maker wasn't working. When no maintenance showed up that afternoon, it was reported again. The phone service (mgmt company) brushed me off, stating they were 'busy checking-in incoming guests'; that it HAD been reported. Only to find out on our last day (day 3) that this never happened, and the resident on the ground level below us had a "major" flooding issue. We were repeat guests, yet I'm not sure we will return again. The phone contact person told me he would check on some future compensation for us for this inconvenience, but to date, no one has gotten back to us.
