Wonderful place to stay!

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: The room was very spacious and had everything you needed. 2 big bedrooms with plenty of sleeping space. The bathrooms were spacious with plenty of storage. The kitchen had all the essentials. The master bedroom stayed a bit warmer than the rest of the unit. I'm not sure why but as soon as you walked onto the back patio the mosquitoes were attacking. So we didn't spend any time out there. The pool and playscape were amazing.

Family Vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We enjoyed our stay! Rental was clean spacious and great location to beach, downtown and lots of extra activities onsite for the kids. The borrowed sand toys and volleyball games was a pleasant surprise. Only thing I would change is checking in and out picking up keys and dropping off at a different location... key code entry would be more convenient. Aside from that which is minor the overall rental was perfect for my family. On-site manager Tammy was very sweet and helpful.

Brenda G.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
The furniture was very uncomfortable in living room and bedrooms. The master bed was a queen, on a king frame, and had full sized contour sheets, so at leadt 8" of frame extended around bed , and was horribly to try and get in bed. The mattress had a huge ridge down center..very used past its prime!Port A Escapes made everthing very complicated, lost our photo IDs and we couldn't get in until we stopped along the way and redid them! And the furnace set off smoke alarm immediately after it was turned on. Filled the unit with smoke. Battery flashed "LOW battery" on thermostat from day one, and AC shut off every night so we woke up to 84* every morning. We've stayed at Sea Isle Village about 15 years, and love manager Tammie, but Port A Escapes was very hard to deal with, Will NOT again next year!

4th of July Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was great. The sofa sleeper I would recommend to buy a better mattress. You could feel all the springs. The only down side was the upstairs neighbor in unit 30 keep throwing their cigarettes down from back balcony which fell in one of our friends hair. Then after saying something to them they were slamming, dragging and banging all night. I had the police called . It’s people like that who make for a horrible stay. We come and stay about 10-12 times a year and never have had any issues with other renters.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 July 2024
We are sorry for your experience with your neighbors. We do hope other readers understand the review is based off of that bad experience, which should not happen, and not the condo itself.

It was sufficient...

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great! The inside of the condo was a disappointment! The rental company said we had guaranteed check in by 4:00. When I went to the office at 3:50 they said it wasn't ready and made me sit there waiting until after 4:00. The beds are literally the worst beds I have ever slept in. The furniture is from the 1970's. The couch in the front room is horribly uncomfortable to sit on. No hot pads or cookie sheets in the unit. No movies, no wifi and even though it says 2 bathrooms...one is only a tub. The shower has zero water pressure and when we got there the cold water wouldn't turn on so we couldn't take showers. So when the maintenance guy did come he put a wrench on it. Super tacky!

We’ve been to Sea Isle Village many times but never this particular property before this stay. We loved being on the first floor and having a large patio with access to the grassy area out back and close to the beach path. The condo was clean, well stocked and very comfy. We loved our stay and the location to the beach and bars/restaurants can’t be beat!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, very satisfied with the space and location of the condo. Not having a mattress that could support a person on the sofa sleeper, left one of our guest without a bed. A mattress topper alone does not provide support over the bars of the sofa sleeper frame. A nice nights sleep is a crucial part of a relaxing beach vacation.The pool was nice and spacious. The location and short walk to the beach was about as good as you can get in Port A.

Review of Port A Escapes - Sea Isle Village

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice apartment...very good location. No communication from Port A Escapes once they got our money. Left 6 days early...asked to get a little of the rent refunded; I don’t think the request was even taken seriously.Since we were first-timers, it would have been nice if the property manager would have provided some guidance about the area, but none was offered.

There was plenty of room for our family of 5, and having 2 bathrooms was great. We will stay again. It was a little dirty when we arrived (dirty sheet/sand in sofa bed, not enough towels/wash cloths, hair in tub and on floor in bathroom).

Old fashioned Condo with no wifi

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll start by saying this condo was clean. Upon arrival the a/c was not working. It was very hot and uncomfortable. The management took some time to come out but did come and address the issue. We had to go to dinner and linger just not to come back too soon and be hot. Two days later in the middle of the night the a/c went out again leaving us HOT! This time when I contacted the management they were a little less happy about coming out. This was our last day so we packed up and left early. This condo unit also offers no wifi. The furniture was not very comfortable and the place was dated. I would not stay here again or make any recommendations either.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The walkway to the beach was a sand trail. The sand was too hot to walk on even with sandals. Burned feet. Only 1 shower in a 2 bedroom condo. No electrical outlet for blow dryer in bathroom with shower very few pots/pans to cook with. No internet access. Paid way too much for what we got. Only 2 chairs on patio to accommodate 6 people. Bar-b-que grill was broken. The best part was the pool. Nice and some covered area.
