House was well stocked and host is very responsive. Golf cart use is a nice plus. However the house had a major cockroach issue with adult and baby cockroaches in house. We killed at least 15 cockroaches. Host had pest control come out and spray but that did not eliminate the issue. We are having to fumigate our belongings to prevent any transfer issues to our 3 homes. There was also an issue with some type of animal getting into the attic or walls. We could hear it moving around so loudly it woke us up. Outside host control but we had internet connectivity issues the first 2 days so kids could not watch tv or have strong connection for phones.

I was really worried that this cute beach house would be a tight fit for 7 people and two dogs. But it was perfect. We didn't feel crowded at all. The decor inside was really nice. It felt very inviting. And we loved that there was lots of extra blankets and linens. The cart made traveling the island so easy. It was great for packing up with beach supplies and zipping over to the beach. By road the beach entry point was only a couple of streets over. By foot there is a boardwalk 3 houses over that leads to the beach. We drove the cart all over town and up and down the beach for 11 days and only used about 3 gallons of gas. Hint: the gas tank is accessed by lifting the middle row lol. If you drive over to the beach it takes you to marker 6. It's really a perfect spot as there are changing booths and outdoor showers, plus nearby portapotties. Our host was great. They answered all messages within minutes. Which made the trip stress free. They also supplied some essentials, like coffee which was greatly appreciated as we arrived late and didn't really have a chance to visit the store yet. We were also surprised by the ample boogie boards, beach chairs, and sand toys.

We had a great time staying here, the house was really clean, spacious, and well equipped. It was really nice being able to walk to the beach so the location was excellent, the street is quiet at night. I would highly recommend staying here, the owner was also very kind and responsive.

Perfect home, LOVED the golf cart

The house was wonderful, location is amazing and the owner was so helpful for anything we needed or asked. This is my 4th trip to Port A & I've never had a golf cart until this trip. It was soooo awesome to have a golf cart and really a total bonus to this rental. I highly recommend this property.

Great family house close to the beach

Great property, tons of small amenities like beach towels and chairs and plenty of cookware that made our stay easy! It’s a super quick drive to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable - the front bedrooms are set up well for kids. Overall the only thing missing was a grassy space for the kids, but with the beach so close it wasn’t a big issue. We stayed with two families - 4 adults and 3 young kids and had plenty of space. Would book again!

Family trip

Staying in this fantastic house keeps getting better with recent updates making it feel more open and airy! I have stayed here several times when my family comes in from Denver. Adults and kids alike love the comfort and the location that allows us to walk to the beach. There are even beach toys and boogie boards for all to use! I will from now on schedule our beach trips according the availability of this place. The owner was super responsive to any questions that arose during our stay and had great recommendations for fun things to entertain all of us. Thank you Brian!!

Great time in Port A!

We had such a wonderful time in Port A! We loved the location of the house. Easy walk to the beach or if you choose take the golf cart that is included with the house. The kids loved riding around in the cart to go get donuts or ice cream. Golf cart was a big bonus to be included with our stay. We made good use of the charcoal grill and enjoyed fresh fresh from Paul’s seafood market. The house has everything you need. My only request is to provide a full size blender for those beach drinks!

the short walk to the beach was fantastic. Property owner made me aware of issues prior to our arrival which is greatly appreciated. The property itself could have been a little cleaner , trash in back yard , and a little dirty inside still. Golf cart needed some work but we got it fixed with gorilla tape! the kids had an amazing time and we thank you for the use of your home.

We'll be back! - Great House!

My family and I had a fabulous stay. I am easily technology challenged and the keyless entry stumped me at first, but Brian answered the phone immediately and talked me right through it. Never had another problem and because of the owner's quick response - it was not a problem. The house is very cute, clean, and comfortable. Everything is there - just bring yourself. The kitchen was very well stocked with great utensils, cookware, and serving pieces, but also there was coffee and spices. The bathrooms were roomy with plenty of towels and toilet paper. I have nothing, but praise for this rental. The house is about 50' from the boardwalk that leads through the dunes to the beach - it is a great location. The deck surrounding the house and patio below are great for outside parties and there is even an outdoor grill. And then there is the gas powered golf cart, this pays for the whole house. We had a blast driving around in the golf cart. Thank you Brian for all your help. I can't wait to book another vacation.
