The house was so charming with beautiful coastal decor, plantation shutters and shiplap walls. The yard was fenced in and perfect for our little Pomeranian fur baby. The location was so close to all the best restaurants, night life and of course the beach was just a couple mins by golf cart or car away! The perfect little getaway.

Cute cottage just right for 2 people and a pup. The only problem we encountered was flies inside and upon more investigation many flies on the outside of the house. Maintenance was called and they fixed the problem. We were very happy with our choice of stay and would stay here again.

Great Location, Nicely Updated

This is one of my favorite overall stays in Port A. Walking distance to restaurants near the beach and super clean home. Being able to bring my 2 small pups was great. Make sure you bring what you need for coffee and blow dryer (if needed). Everything was very comfortable to include the queen sized bed. Absolutely will return.

Weekend Getaway

The house is such a a delightful property and was very comfortable. Restaurants and shopping was very close....walking distance close and the beach a short drive. Our dog liked having a backyard. We would definitely stay here again if it was just the two of us and Shiner. We loved the use of the golf cart....it's fun!
