We had the best time at this beach house! It was super clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The pool was absolutely perfect — we spent so much time floating and relaxing there after the beach. The fenced yard was a huge plus, especially since we were able to bring our pup along. It’s so nice to find a pet-friendly place that’s this well cared for! The house had all the little touches that made it feel like home, and we can’t wait to come back again.

We had a great time staying here. We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor area. With 2 littles ones we could only spend so much time on the beach. It was nice to come back to the lovely outdoor area and spend time in the pool. Would definitely stay here again!

Best vacation home

My family stays in Port A every year and this home was by far the best. We usually forget something small, like cooking oil or extra beach towels. This home had quite literally everything you would need. Even items for children (cups, plates, silverware) and things for dogs as well. Communication was also fantastic. Quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Sarah! We’re so happy to hear that this home was the best you’ve stayed in at Port A. It’s great to know we could provide everything you need, from kitchen essentials to items for the kids and your dog. We also appreciate the kind words about our communication—it's always our goal to make things as easy as possible for our guests. We’d love to welcome you back next year!

Barefoot and Salty Vacation

Great property, location and property management attention. Upon checking in I needed help with the nest thermostat. Spoke to the local property management firm and they were going to send someone out within the hour. Reviewed a u-tube video and figured it out but called them back to cancel maintenance. They were appreciative and told me to call back anytime and they’d promptly help. Property was well maintained and provided an excellent stay. Very happy with AvantStay and their local mgmt firm.
