Kitchen was very well stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you could need. The location was very close to the area on the beach where the Sand Fest was located and close to local restaurants.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, it’s one of our favorite features for making your stay feel like home. The location really is hard to beat, especially with events like Sand Fest and all the great local spots nearby. We’d love to host you again for your next Port A getaway! 🌴
This condo was super clean and super cute! We loved the pool area and the condo's location.

Sarah,
We are so glad that you had a great time and liked the house and location. It is very convenient to everything and the pool is such a great place to relax after a day at the beach. We hope that you will consider staying again sometime.
Have a great summer!

House was clean when we arrived, well set up for coming in after the beach. Shower by front entrance was great for keeping sand out of the house. Pool and grass area was excellent for kids after beach and relaxing at night. TV in all rooms was a bonus for us with all the kids. Communication with host was great, check in a breeze. Location to beach was good provided you have a car or golf cart. Kitchen was better set up than any house we’ve stayed in and we have been beaching it for over 20 years as a family. Helpful tips:Add to check in book or website:Suggest route to beach. We were going the long way and figured out if you turn right, go to the light which is a short distance, turn left, the beach entrance is much closer than when we mapped it on google. Add names and phone numbers for closest pizza places. We ordered from wrong location and had to wait over an hour to find out our mistake, order from the local. House rules We found it alarming that if a towel had a stain or missing a towel we would be charged 75. Blinds, while in good shape weren’t all hanging evenly when we arrived. Our remote downstairs had a loose back, we didn’t know we needed to report those things on check in. The 75 for a stain on a white towel made us worry we might be charged for the other two things that were that way when we arrived. These are suggestions. Our stay was great, just wish I wouldn’t have worried about extra charges.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and helpful suggestions! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great stay and especially enjoyed the pool, outdoor area, beach shower, and kitchen. Hearing that the kitchen was one of the best-equipped homes you’ve stayed in during more than 20 years of family beach trips is such a wonderful compliment! 😊
We do provide an abundance of local restaurant recommendations in both our welcome binder and Happy Stays App, but we appreciate your feedback and will continue looking for ways to make that information even easier for guests to find. Thank you as well for the suggestion about including the best route to the beach; we will absolutely take that into consideration for our welcome information! We also would have been more than happy to help guide y’all in the right direction had you reached out. We’re always available and love helping our guests! 😊
We’re also sorry the wording regarding damaged or missing items caused any unnecessary worry during your stay. Our intention is certainly not for guests to feel concerned about normal wear and tear or items that may have already been that way upon arrival.
Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re so glad you had a great stay and would love to welcome your family back to Port A! 🌴☀️
We had a great time with family and friends.. we will be back again!

It was just right for six adults and three children. Had everything we needed, but nothing excessive. Everything worked as it should--appliances, locks, utilities, etc. We plan to return, hopefully.
Property location is amazing! Quick trip to Brons and shopping and a short golf cart ride to Crazy Cajun and Fisherman’s Wharf. Easy access to the beach also.

Fully stocked,great layout for large group. Very comfortable. Loved the pool right out our door
Lovely except for Saturday night at 1:30 am we were awaken by a large group of women in MuMu's chanting outside. Woke the baby too so no sleep that night. The property itself was great.

It was okay we had bugs in the kitchen area and the place was not very clean... clean to eye but I picked up the coffee pot and toaster and it was so dirty. Had a few issues in the pool area with a tent and people being loud after hours.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. We hold our housekeeping standards very high, so it’s disappointing to learn the kitchen appliances were not thoroughly cleaned, I’ll be addressing this directly with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
In regard to the bugs, we do have a professional pest control company, ABC Pest Control, that services the property the first week of every month. While we do our best to minimize pests, since we are located on a barrier island it is not possible to fully guarantee that you won’t see a few during your stay.
As for the pool area, unfortunately we do not manage every home in the community. However, if there are ever issues such as noise after hours or the pool area being messy, please reach out to us right away so we can contact the HOA and have them address it with the other management companies. The HOA also has a maintenance crew they can send out to clean and monitor the space when needed.
We truly value your input, as it helps us improve. I hope we’ll have the chance to host you again and provide the quality experience you should expect.
Condo is conveniently located, spacious, clean and comfortable! Parking is ample, we had 3 small cars and could still fit 2 small golf carts behind the cars and stay within our designated area.
Pool is nice, would love some shade over it though!
No problems!
We will book this again!

We are so glad you enjoyed your time in the home. We cannot wait to see you again! We will bring this to the HOAs attention and see if this is something we can accommodate
The house was everything we needed for our family vacation. Sometimes at night it was an issue because we had babies that went to bed and people didn't abide by the "quiet after 10:00" rule. It didn't bother us that they were out there but they were young and hollering. Our house was right beside the pool so we could hear everything. Other than that is was GREAT!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear the house had everything you needed for a great family vacation. We really appreciate you letting us know about the noise near the pool in the evenings, that’s helpful feedback, especially for homes located right beside it. We’ll be sure to remind guests about quiet hours moving forward. We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon!

Absolutely Amazing!
Pictures did not do this beautiful place justice! The owner was easy to contact from the moment I made the reservations until the day we checked out. Everything was perfect! The condo was well-stocked, very clean, and perfect for our family. It's not extremely easy to find places that will comfortably accommodate three couples and five children, but the layout of this condo gives every couple privacy and a great bunk room with TV for all the kids. In addition, as always, we rent a golf cart and our car is never cranked throughout the entire visit. That's what I love about Port A!

Absolutely PERFECT
I love everything about station street cottages. The hospitality began before our trip and lasted through out. The location is perfect. The cottage is decorated in the most adorable and updated beachy vibe. There are all of the comforts of home. The owners have thought of everything. True attention to detail.
We traveled as a large family (my husband and I and our 2 small children, my sisters family with three small children, and our parents.) The set up was ideal. I absolutely would visit here again in a heartbeat.
Though this did not apply to us... the cottage is also handicap accessible.

Week of 5/31/22 Roaches…
We had roaches in the downstairs bedding the first two nights. Not just like “oh look there’s a roach in here on the floor” but waking up at 3am to a roach crawling across your skin…twice. The coffee maker had pink mold growing inside of it, and the microwave didn’t work. During our stay I left a voicemail and sent an email but still have not received a reply or call back. This was my second time to rent this house and other than that it’s really not a bad place to stay, but I’ll probably be looking for a different house with a different proprietor when I come back next month.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Your feedback is very important to us, we rely on hearing from our guests to ensure we’re doing a great job. As you shared in your review, this was not the case for you and for this, we do apologize. Our customers are the heart of our business.
We are so sorry to hear of your unpleasent stay. The homes are treated for pest monthly and any additional treatments can always be requested. Thank you for bringing the coffee maker to our attention, it has since been replaced.
We strive for 5 star reviews and We do hope you will give us another opportunity to earn your business.
After 20 years of rentals, I finally found one I want to stay in again next year. It has well-appointed spaces, plenty of beds, and enough seating for meals. The pool was perfect. The place was clean and they included tools to clean for ourselves while we were there (a small mop would be great to add though). The only gripe I had was that we reached out on our first full day there that we couldn’t get the tv to work; the next day they responded that they would put in a work ticket for us, but we never had anyone come out or check back on it while we were there. They were not very responsive to non-emergencies.
