Another Day in Paradise

This home is absolutely stunning!!! The private pool and game room made our stay with the kids extra enjoyable. The numerous balconies allowed for adult time while still being able to watch over the kids in the pool below. The bay view with a nice cup of coffee in the morning was beautiful and I prefer being on the bay vs the beach because there is a lot less sand to contend with.

Modern and clean, location would not be my first choice but it wasn't the end of the world. Please be aware you can book direct with the owners and avoid the scandalous fees. We had to pay nearly 150 bucks for credit card processing. Ridiculous

Clean modern house still smells new!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 5 + grandparents thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. Everything was new and fresh. Easy check-in and out. Nice views of the canal and preserve. The pool was fantastic especially since the beach had tar balls on it :( We ended up just chilling at the house instead of returning to the beach, which was a short drive r 25 minute walk away. Great wifi for a work call, too. They had plenty of toilet paper, but only a small container of dishwashing liquid and a couple of dishwasher tablets. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, spacious and loved the pool!

We enjoyed our stay at Linda Vista. The house was beautiful and very clean. One of my cons would be that the beds sit up quiet high. I'm short, 5'2 so I had to literally jump into the bed. Also the bathroom counters were high. The kids couldn't reach the sink to wash hands and brush teeth. I would recommend the owners have a step stool for future families with little ones. The pool was a plus. It was so great to be able to just walk down stairs and jump in the pool when you didn't want to drive to the beach. There is no outdoor shower, instead there is hot/cold faucet to hook up a hose. We ended up using that to wash off our feet and legs as to not track sand inside. I loved that it had a washer/dryer. Coffee was great as well as the cute welcome gift left by New Wave mgmt. The management was nice and quick to respond as well. Another con was the credit card fee was so high. Overall this home was great, beautiful and spacious. My family loved it. We would stay here again.

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: January and February stay at this location. We have rented from VRBO numerous times across the USA and the Caribbean. This home rates as one of the nicest we’ve enjoyed. General home: very clean! Comfortable. Good closet space. Kitchen: efficient, most amenities included, dishwasher did not clean very well, however it may have been our detergent choice. Beds: comfortable, nice linens. Baths: good; fluffy towels. Rental Company not at all intrusive but available always if needed. A few negatives: a “desk” type piece of furniture would be helpful located somewhere in the house. An occasional chair(s) on second floor in game room would be good place to sit. I realize we were here during the winter and stayed over eight weeks. Many of my negatives probably aren’t an issue if only staying a week.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a fantastic experience at Linda Vista on Port A. The home was in perfect condition with the ideal layout for families. All rooms were clean and the home contained everything we needed for our stay. It was a nice, quiet location that was everything we could have wanted. We loved eating on the deck while watching the sunset and ships. It was a quick ride to the beach or our favorite ice cream stop. We have been to multiple vacation rentals, and this rental was the most organized with the best communication from property management. Even if this home isn't right for your needs; recommend staying with this company.
