Property was as described, clean, and exactly what we needed. Review would have been five star, however there was no dish soap, sponge or laundry soap provided - it would have been helpful to know this beforehand. It would also be helpful to have more than one extra trash bag provided and may want to consider upgrading the pots/pans. Additionally, the WiFi was not great and although this may not be an issue for some it did present an inconvenience for us as we did need to complete some work related tasks while there. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would choose this property again.

Wonderful home!

This home is just what we were looking for. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within a mile of town. Everything was perfect. Clean, spacious for a family with children, and an amazing pool with toys! We will be booking again spring 2024!

Great Time in Port A

House was perfect for the three of us and our small dog. Pool was nice to have, we used it every day. Everything is so close in Port A, just a few minutes to anywhere in a golf cart. One thing I did learn is that the island has a number of coyotes so be aware if you are bringing small dogs with you.

We love the pool , my kids didn’t want to leave they want to star forever they said . There where some Little issues but they were fixed on time. Pretty close to the beach. Stores and restaurants. I love the privacy and quietness. Our family really enjoyed our little vacation and staying at this house make it a plus! We are looking forward to coming back!

Great house.

It is a shame that this house is managed by Vacasa. They do not honor veteran or military discounts. Altogether the house is lovely however, the customer service and nightly rates could have been much better.

Great house for a family

The place is great for a family or a group of friends. We cooked a few meals, skateboarded to the beach and found the neighborhood to be quiet and very chill. The bar had plenty of seating with a nice size kitchen. Bathroom had a big tub for soak and an odd functioning sink. Downstairs shower wasn’t functional for us. Pool was great with outdoor kitchen area for bbq and hangs. Stairs are a bit dangerous so be careful. Over all super cute and would come back.

Will come again

The property owner was very communicative. The property was also quite clean. We would love to stay here again in the future. Admittedly the house internally appeared a bit dated, and the trim of the door inside/outside (main entrance of the house) was very scuffed up, but the door locked well and that is what matters. The toilet lid was cracked upon arrival > I notified the owner right away > they responded.

Great stay

Overall we enjoyed the stay. There are some issues that need to be fixed as others have said in their reviews. Since they haven’t been fixed yet, I am not sure they will get fixed. The light in the bathroom downstairs does not work. The dryer is REALLY loud. If you plan on using the dryer don’t plan on watching tv or having a conversation while the dryer is running. The bar stools are wobbly. The front door doesn’t latch properly so you have to put some pressure on it to shut it. I did enjoy my stay but these are a few things that could be fixed to make this house so much better.

Loved the house!!!

First let me start by saying that we loved the house and I would definitely stay again. There was just a couple of things that needed attention. The blender in the kitchen didn't work. The lights in the pool didn't turn on and part of the outside lights did not turn on. Also the bathroom downstairs light didn't turn on either and the sink plug didn't want to go up to drain water. We bbq and one of the knobs on the bbq was missing. The ac around 2pm would get up the 80 and it would get very hot.when it was set at 70,but then at night it would start to cool down. The TV in the guess room didn't work, said no connection.

First Timer

Family was skeptical about renting a house. Once we got there and scoped it out all the amenities and stuff. All was great we really enjoyed the place and location of it not too far not too close it was quiet. The pool bathroom toilet and shower is a plus since the house has only one in the house. Outdoor sink and tables are nice the outdoor fridge is just for looks. All in all we will stay at this house again for sure!

Pretty Good

The main reason we stayed here was the private pool. It was nice to have, but wasn’t cleaned so I had to clean it before we used it and could only get it so clean with a skimmer no vacuum. Mostly sand in the bottom I assume from previous guest, a couple tiny dead crabs, and some hair, twigs, and leaves. It’s an older house, but was as clean as it could be and most importantly smelled clean. Older furniture and appliances, but I think that was clear from listing photos. Overall it was pretty good. For the price we wouldn’t stay there again. It’s already expensive. Spend a little more and get an updated place.

First Family Vacation

Location and size is great for a small family. I do have a couple of pros and cons. Cons: the pool lights and outdoor lighting did not work at all. We would love to go for a late swim but it was too dark. Also the bathroom sink was leaking pretty bad we had to use a towel soak up the water. I would’ve been nice to be made aware that they were having an outside vendor coming to home. A pest control company came to the house to service monthly service and showed up around 7:45am. My kids were just waking up and my husband was still asleep. At least a heads up would’ve been great. Lastly we had A LOT of sugar ants in the kitchen. Especially by the stove and kitchen sink. I couldn’t leave my daughters bottle after I wash them on the counter with out them getting full of ants. I would suggest to find the source and treat it before renting out the house so someone else. The bed in the primary room was super small and uncomfortable. Pros: the private pool was amazing and huge. Location was great I feel like we were right in the middle of town. Everything was close by. The beach was 5 min drive which is not bad at all. Price was great compared to everyone around us and the amenities. I would love to stay here again in the future if all the recommendations are made.

Nice beach home. Exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

Down by the sea was a fun house to spend a few nights for our kids fall break. It was close to restaurants and a short drive to the ocean. The pool was well kept. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

I loved the private pool, the outdoor sink and grill. The only thing I’ll nit pick about is the bathroom toilet, it worked fine, the lid just didn’t close right and almost fell off. That’s the only thing. Other than that, it was wonderful!
