we had a great time, the house suited us perfectly. The only slight negative we all agreed about was that there were way too many beach-themed nicknacks throughout the house. Hard to find a flat space to set anything down.

We had our annual family trip with our in-laws and family. The elevator was so nice to have because the grandparents do not get around very well. The living/kitchen area was perfect for our large group. Plenty of sleeping areas to make everyone happy! Lots of balcony areas too.The walk to the boardwalk was not bad. We got a golf cart because the grandparents. We enjoyed our stay!

Besides being meticulously clean and beautifully furnished , A Shore Thing was so well equipped we didn't need a thing right down to lemon and lime squeezers! Every pot or pan or cooking utensil we reached for to cook our dinners was available.A wonderful experience.Not the ocean view I was execting but it was there. Being able to watch our kids in the pool was the thing that made the location excellent.

We did have to drive in to shop and eat, but that’s OK. The walk to the beach was really close, which was nice. The air conditioner is set on 73; that’s OK. I would’ve liked it a little colder but I understand. Other than that, the house was great, the property management was great. No complaints.

Becca, thank you for that great review! I wish you would have notified us on the thermostat as it does go colder. We have the schedule set for 73 deg but as a guest you are able to override that setting. Enjoy the rest of your summer and come back to the island to visit when you can!

2023 Port A Family vacay

Great family vacation. So far best house we have stayed at in all the years we traveled to at Port A Only set back was issues with beach location and golf carts getting stuck and getting to the area where golf carts are only allowed.

Perfect vacation…. Awesome home!

This home is beautiful and fully stocked, comfortable beds, loads of kitchen supplies and right next door to the community pool. We rented a couple golf carts to run around in and so happy this community has access for them from the beach. We loved all the different sleeping areas and especially how clean the home was!
