Property was well located with great amenities. We did notice ants in the master bedroom but the property management company were super responsive and had pest control out within the hour, even on Labor Day weekend.

Quaint
The property was small but used space efficiently. We had a family of 4 and would prefer more room but it worked for the price. Couch in living room was dirty when we got there which was a turn off. Also refrigerator was hot and the reason it was hot was not believed as stated on check in book. We were fine since we had all of our groceries in iced coolers. No instruction was left for how to dispose of inside trash to outside trash bin. I had to call property management and they were unsure but finally figured out there was a dumpster on site. These are small things but attention to detail helps renters return. Thank you for renting your property. Overall place was as expected.

Cozy bungalow close to beach
The management company was responsive and easy to work with. The home is small but in good condition. The only negative was the cleanliness of the property. In particular, the floors were very dirty and still had a fair amount of sand and dirt from previous guests. The broom in the closet was so full of hair and dust that we couldn’t use it to sweep up the floors ourselves. A little extra attention to the cleaning and this house would be perfect for a couple or small family beach vacation!

Perfect!
This place was fantastic! 10/10 recommend. My kids loved the bunk beds and pool and we were very pleased with the closeness to a beach access point as well as many other fun accommodations in Port A. The add on of rental beach gear was awesome as well and we utilized it daily. A hairdryer and an iron if you need one were literally the only things missing so plan accordingly on that front. We will absolutely be coming back!

Very nice house and location
It was nice to have an affordable house to ourselves. So many houses at the beach throw in some bunk beds and a pullout couch and say they sleep 12 and charge as if multiple families are staying. The house was perfect and affordable for our small family. It was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was stocked well. The pool was only 1 unit away and since we have an only child it was nice that other families were there so our kid had someone to play with.

Price perfect!
This was more than we expected for the price. Super cute and clean. Parking for car and golf cart. Pool was pleasant for teens to soak and swim. Tv in every room and they hooked up their xbox. Close to beach via golf cart and downtown for shopping and dining. Space for outdoor bbq and card game. Would highly recommend and stay there again.

Truly a cute little house great location to the beach!! I completely understand the nature of the beast but the amount of mold and mildew in the house was just too much. The lamp shades, pillows, sheets ect... Something you'd have to get used to I guess? Other than that, fantastic!!

Just what we needed!
My family and I enjoyed our stay (2 adults, 2 children: 4 & 2.5 years). We were pleasantly surprised by how child-friendly the owner's items were: toddler potty seats, stools, kid utensils/plates, some toys and books. My kids had all the extras they needed. My young children loved the pool, but it would be underwhelming for older kids. The house was very clean and simple, but was all we needed for a short beach trip. Location is okay but near busy 11th street- gas golf carts frequent the street all day/night long and are very loud. For guests, I would highly recommend your own sound machine if you are sensitive to noise. For the owners, I would highly recommend hanging curtain rods + curtains to help darken the very bright bedrooms for sleep, adding cabinet locks to keep kids out of dish detergent/cleaners, a couple of hot pads for oven cooking (none available), and a soap dispenser in kitchen. These are minor but would be helpful for future guests. Pros: clean, outdoor shower/hoses to rinse off sand are great, weren't missing any major items for the stay, wifi was fast & strong if you need to WFH Cons: pool is fine for toddlers. would not be desirable for adults/teens. Location is noisy (fine if sound machines used), Communication with property management was a little slow. Example: we saw every house across the street had outdoor bins, ours didn't. We asked where we can throw trash away and it was very vague: in a bin or dumpster. We had to explore and see that the dumpster for this location is on the alley behind another row of identical houses. All was fine, but management didn't help us find it, nor was there a note in the house. No big deal, but for future renters: the alley behind you :)
