Our stay was great! The pool wasn’t working the first day but they got someone out that day to fix it! And let us check out later so we could enjoy it! Super close to the beach which was great!

House was exactly as listed, if not better and very spacious for our family of 10. Beautiful home! Super clean! Comfortable beds! Neighborhood was perfect and quiet! Right around the corner from the beach access road. Having our own private pool was so wonderful. Loved this house!

Thank you so much for your high marks and great review! We truly hope to host you and your family again very soon! -Port A Escapes
Great property and quiet. Loved the proximity to the ocean but wish there was a more direct and closer route to walk to the beach. I wish we would have rented a golf cart.
The home was beautiful but housekeeping missed a few water bugs/roaches which is understandable with the pool. But other than that we had an amazing time there.

The smell was the only thing that was dissatisfying. There was or is a mold problem, especially for the first floor. The house itself was amazing and came with everything we needed. Close proximity to the beach and to in town. Great location!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect set up since one family member has a prosthetic leg and stairs are an issue so the downstairs suite made this house a great fit for us. We had everything we needed and ample amount of space. We would definitely rent again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Communication
The house was okay-ish. It was clean and adequate seating for the upstairs portion of the house. HOWEVER, the first floor bedroom has a TERRIBLE smell. It’s mildew mixed with stale air. When we called them about it they acted like they didn’t know, but when we checked in there were air fresheners on the A/C intake and car air fresheners hanging from the cabinet hooks. If you look at the bed, you can literally see water damage stains on the box springs. It was awful!!!!! Also, every single exterior light is blue, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to see at night. The stair lights are along the railing instead of the feet, and 80% of them were out. We did contact them about the lights too, they came out second to last day and said they would order more lights…we did not get to utilize those lights because we left the next morning…. We had an elderly man with us who had a hard time taking stairs, let alone taking them on a dimly lit staircase. He almost fell twice! As far as communication goes - it takes at least 24 hours for any response from them. Definitely not a fan of that aspect of it all either…

Thank you for being an amazing guest! We look forward to see you again soon!
We had a great time overall loved the property. The downstairs apartment had a bad smell that they tried to take care of with plug ins and scent absorbers. It made a few family members a little sick. The upstairs house was wonderful, but I would only recommend booking this if you don’t need the downstairs apartment. Communication was great and prompt with the property manager.

Great location, comfortable, no problems during our stay. Only suggestion; the lighting outside is minimal, so it would be helpful if the stairs had more lighting so no accidents would occur. And motion sensor by pool did not work. Everything else was great!

We had a great time with our extended family. Enough space for everyone; very clean; easy access for check in and check out; would love to come back! Definitely recommend. We also loved the decks and the swings at the main entrance, so relaxing with an amazing breeze!
The location was good, close to beach access. Plenty of room for our family to enjoy time together and parking for 4 cars. Clean and functional overall. Nice to have a small pool. Issue with air conditioning in separate unit but Management was quick to respond and took care of it same day. May not work for everyone due to all the stairs and no elevator, but great for us. Easy check in and check out. Thank you!
