Ideally located just a few blocks from the shoreline, you'll enjoy easy access to the beach as well as nearby shops on Ave G, local restaurants, and golf cart rentals—making it simple to explore and soak up the charm of the area.
This spacious home offers four bedrooms, with three located upstairs and a fun bunk room on the first floor—perfect for kids or extra guests. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection, the property features a screened-in porch, a private side courtyard, and access to a shared community pool.
Step inside through the private ground-floor entrance and immediately feel at ease in the light-filled, open-concept living space. Coastal-chic décor and airy design create a welcoming atmosphere for gathering with family and friends. The fully equipped kitchen is a standout, featuring quartz countertops, a stylish backsplash, new appliances, an electric range, pantry, wine cooler, and a butcher block island—perfect for prepping meals or entertaining. A versatile coffee maker allows you to brew a full carafe or a single pod to start your mornings just right.

The living room invites you to unwind with a large L-shaped sectional, TV, cable, and Wi-Fi. From here, step outside to either the private courtyard with grill or the screened-in porch—both offering plenty of seating for outdoor lounging. Two outdoor showers (one by the garage and one tucked inside the courtyard) make rinsing off after the beach easy and convenient.
The first-floor bedroom features a twin-over-twin bunk bed with a pull-out trundle, cozy bean bags, a wall-mounted TV, and direct access to the screened-in porch. A nearby full bathroom with a walk-in shower also serves this level.
Upstairs, a cozy reading nook welcomes you at the landing. The primary suite offers a king bed, TV, spacious closet, and a private balcony—perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. The ensuite bathroom includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower.

Everything was great with the house. Full stocked kitchen was amazing. Plenty of blankets, pillows and beds were super comfy. The only complaint would be the parking. But we managed 😀

Great location and property

We loved the property and it's location. So convenient to everything. House was really nice, clean, and comfortable. We had a couple of issues while there (TVs/gaming system not working in a couple of rooms, pool being shocked and not available), but the management group was very responsive and nice to texts. The problems weren't all resolved, but weren't deal breakers for us and at least they know about and can hopefully fix for the next group.

Very nice home but the description of the property was miss leading. We thought we would be closer to the beach. We had to sweep upon arrival because there was sand inside the property. The carpet in the screen porch was not clean enough for our toddler to be out there. The residence had to cleaned upon arrival. Over all the stay was good with just a couple of hickups.

The Lemon Drop is PERFECT

Our group of 4 adults and 5 kids just got home from a fantastic stay at the Lemon Drop. The condo was beautiful, well-appointed, spacious, and very clean. Plenty of room for our 2 families to spread out! The kitchen has awesome Kenmore Elite appliances and it outfitted with every piece of dishware that you could ever want or need. The pantry has plenty of room to store groceries and snacks. The open concept kitchen/dining/living space is great for families! Couches are comfy and plenty of seating. The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening wind-down. Location of this condo is right in the heart of Old Town Port A. Walking distance to all of the major shops, lots of bars and restaurants, and convenience stores. Be aware that being in the heart of the action means it can be a little noisy - but it never bothered us at all. Since the neighboring condos don't share the walls, we weren't bothered by any noise from neighbors either. Overall, this place is awesome. You will not be disappointed. Part of me wants to try to keep this place secret so we can book it year after year!!

The Lemon Drop is Sour

I've gone to Port A almost every summer the last 52 years of my existence. I have never stayed in a place that I thought to complain about until this time. Not only did we spend almost $2000 to rent this place for three nights, but the entire time we were there they were problem after problem after problem. From the fire alarm going off for five hours at a time to the icemaker being broken and dirty to a chair and bunkbed being broken it was just too much. Then trying to use the dryer we realized it never dried so we had a ton of wet clothes left over. When you walked on the floors, your feet would turn black because they hadn't been mopped in a long time. We decided to mop the whole thing so it didn't feel disgusting. We also rented the place because of the pool and we were never able to get in because it was locked. Each night the restaurant across the street had a live band and even with white noise we could still hear the music until 1015 or later. The icing on the cake was the last day the garbage disposal decided to break. We feel like we spent our entire vacation calling the management company and while they did respond a few times it did take hours for someone to come over. They did fix the fire alarm but the other items we just didn't want to spend our entire vacation dealing with.
