The house is conveniently located between close beach access and the attractions of Port A. Very comfortable home, fully furnished in a quiet neighborhood is everything we were looking for.

Our getaway
The house was just what we needed, it was clean, only issue we had was not getting clarification on pets. Website says pets allowed without saying 2, if more than 2 we had to pay extra. The website needs to state better.

Though the house was cute. It was extremely overpriced.
The beds were uncomfortable and it had a faint smell
