Condo was clean & comfortable and location was right on the beach with a great boardwalk to the beach. It is a smaller complex and easy access to condo. Not as big and crowded as some of the high rise condos. Very comfy feel. Check in process was very easy. We would rent here again.

Property was very comfortable, quiet, spacious and perfect for our family weekend getaway. Wifi was functional unlike some properties we have stayed at and our room even had a smart tv. Our only complaint was the master bed was noticeably warmer then the rest of the rooms and it was quite bright early in the morning making it harder to sleep in other then that it was really accommodating. I would stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this condo! The views were stunning, with expansive windows showcasing breathtaking scenery that made every morning feel like a dream. The condo is just a short, easy walk to the beach, making it incredibly convenient for our family of five to spend as much time by the water as we wanted.The amenities listed were spot-on, and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living space, everything was as promised. It was also incredibly quiet-perfect for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. We never heard any noise from neighbors, which was a huge plus for us.Overall, this condo was an ideal spot for our family vacation. It offered both convenience and relaxation, and we would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. It was a last minute getaway and the condo was just as described in the listing. The location was great and the condo was very clean and spacious. Management responded quickly with a replacement when the coffee pot wasn't working. The furniture and bathrooms were dated and dingy but the cost was appropriate for an older community. My kids said some of the game tables were broken so they didn't play there but said the pool was nice. Overall we had a nice family trip that didn't break the bank!

The location was great - easy access (boardwalk) to the beach, & offered a limited view of beach. The condo was pleasantly furnished- slightly dated. Clean & comfortable beds. Deck is narrow & long, facing East. The clubhouse & pool were very well maintained. My only real complaint is the lack of pots & pans - totally inadequate (saucepan with no handle, frying pan with scratched Teflon.

We stayed the first week in May. The interior was lovely, but slightly musty as it was the beginning of the season. Exterior is a little worn, but is very old school Port A for those of us who like that. Ocean view is a generous description - dune view is more accurate. In the kitchen they were short on glasses - 6 glasses and 4 cups for 5 people was a little stingy. Overall we had a great time and would go back.

There was a certain smell the moment you walked in to this rental....we had to stop by the store to grab cleaner(fabuloso) and a candle. The back door was broke so the kids could not open or shut the door. The beds were comfy and the view was great. All in all it was ok.....I will try somewhere else next time to have something to compare it to.
