Very family friendly place. Our son loved the bunk bed and toys. The space feels cozy and comfortable. Location is perfect for the beach being only 2 minutes away and to centralized to town.

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad your family felt right at home, and it's wonderful to hear your son loved the bunk bed and toys. Those little touches really do make a difference for the kids. We're happy the space felt cozy and comfortable, and that being just two minutes from the beach and close to town made getting around easy. We'd love to welcome you back anytime. Thank you for choosing Life in Paradise Vacation Rentals!

We enjoyed staying at this beach house. It was a little load being next to a busy intersection. At first didn’t find the trash bin but after talking to manager, they showed us where it was.

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.

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!

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!!

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!
