We’ve stayed at several houses in port A, atleast 5 in the lost colony community, and this one was definitely our least favorite. It wasn’t very clean, not horrible, but definitely not as clean as you’d expect it to be. They left us with very little hand soap in all the bathrooms, ran out after about a day, and we were there 7 days. Not a big deal, but come on now. One of the bath tubs wouldn’t drain properly, so if you’d like to stand in a foot of water while you shower, it’d be perfect for you. I’m not sure how the other tubs were. Watch out when you get out the shower, the tile outside the bathroom door is very slippery and almost fell a couple times, but luckily, caught my self. No joke, it’s pretty dangerous. The house smelled funny, at first I thought it was my sister in laws new boyfriend, but after a couple of days, I realized it was actually the house. Maybe the couch? Or the vents? The pullout couch was covered in sand when we pulled it out, so just consider that not an option to sleep on. One of the bedroom tvs wouldn’t work, (not a huge issue when you go on vacation to enjoy the beach, but it’s nice to be able to watch tv when you’re resting). The kitchen is super small, and very little cookware, and what they do have, is pretty much falling apart. Time to upgrade your pots and pans, the handles don’t have much life left.
Now that’s all the bad, here’s the good.
Definitely wonderful views, which is what you’re paying for. If you can live with what all I mentioned above, then you may enjoy this place. the 3rd floor deck with the swing is a wonderful place to hang out in the morning or evening and enjoy the sound of the waves. The 2nd floor deck is nice also. Plenty of shade, seating, and it was overlooking the pool so you can watch your kids swim. Outside was our favorite part of this property. Also, it’s super close to the beach, literally a 2-3 minute walk and your in the sand. The beds were comfy also. I’ve stayed at some where the beds suck, and this one was actually pretty comfortable. Overall 3 stars and only because of location and the view. We won’t be staying here again, but will definitely be back to the lost colony. They have several other properties that are much more comfortable.
