Not worth it

Two cockroaches in the kitchen area. I had asked prior to arrival to ensure a clean house. I guess they let the beach front sell itself but don’t take ownership in the quality of the home.

Great location

Can’t beat the location of this property and the deck feels like you’re right on the beach. The neighborhood is also great. Only complaint is the dishes and pans were dirty when we showed up. Our dogs also got fleas on the property but hard to say where. Overall great stay in Port A!

Location

We stayed in same house 12-14 years ago. Location is excellent and very hard to beat right on the beach. The deck offers 180 degree beach views. Lots of light in kitchen / dining area. Kitchen is well appointed. My singular ding has to do with the 5 dead roaches we found (3 within first 15 minutes) on the floor, and the deck which had not been cleaned up after prior tenant.

Nice House Not Nice Mosquitoes

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: I put “mosquitoes” in the title so future guests wouldn’t forget to bring mosquito spray. The pet friendly beach house was really nice for our family. It was clean and Port A Escapes staff were very friendly. Kitchen was nicely stocked but future guests might want to throw in their own 7” non stick frying pan if they intend on frying eggs. We did see the usual beach roaches in the house, but we could tell the house was sprayed on a regular basis. The laundry room was not in the living area of the house (located downstairs near the garage) but that was not a game changer. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and on the deck. The best house in Lost Colony for beach location.

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I booked this property to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We traveled from Michigan with our 2 kids and invited my parents along. We all slept comfortably, throughly enjoyed the house, and had the greatest time. The house is in a prime location with great views and easy access to the beach. We would definitely make another trip!

Tita's Sandcastle in Lost Colony

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was a great place to stay! It's pet friendly and the kitchen is well equipped. The views and access to the beach are unlike any place that we have ever experienced! It could use a bit of updating and minor repairs. The pocket door to the bathroom on the downstairs main bedroom did not work and should be fixed for bathroom privacy. We had to lock the bedroom door for bathroom privacy. The down stairs bedroom door had a hole on the inside that needs to be repaired. There were grass burs in the lawn, but we worked around them. I wish that there was beach access for golf carts. We reserved a golf cart only to find out that there was not golf cart accessible roads to the beach. Luckily Island Outfitters returned our money. Overall, this is a great house, and we will be booking it again.

September Vacation

The views were wonderful, you cannot use the awning, so it is hard to sit out on the porch until late evening. The beds were comfy, only 2 TV’s. The 4th bedroom was outside, under the main porch, but we couldn’t use due to no electricity for electrical outlets or the air conditioner. The house needs overhaul.

Wonderful!!

Any time I called the facility before arrival, always helpful and courtesious! Only 1 issue was TV didn't work. Was not a high priority due to being succumbed by the beach. Did not even bother the teenager that was with us. One tiny bug spotted in the house- but keep in mind, you are literally water front. Can tell that they do try to keep these houses routinely sprayed. View from the balconies and window was spectacular!! We were in aw! Was nice to sit outside relaxing and enjoying the beach. Only issue was parking. I refuse to deduct review for something that was not in their control. Will definitely recommend anyone to stay at Titas Sandcastle. Just phenomenal! We all definitely enjoyed ourselves and had much needed relaxation. Would love to come back here in the future!

Great Beach Front Property

First, the house location was fabulous. Great deck with view of the beach. Very, very short wall to the beach. The deck is fenced in so this was great for the dogs. Because of it's location, the beach was very private. The first floor layout was nice for entertaining before dinner. The upstairs bedroom was very private although I wouldn't recommend the stairs for the elderly. I was disappointed in the room at basement level (ground level). It was very musty but being so close to the water, I am not sure how they would solve this issue. A little more effort could have been made to make this a destination worth the price. At this price, I would have expected kitchen supplies like salt and pepper, plenty of paper towels and trash bags, toilet paper, etc. (It isn't advertised to have these items but I think for the price, they should have made a better effort to supply the basic necessities so we didn't have to go to the store) Overall, I would recommend this house if you want to be close to the beach and have a great view close to teh water.

Not impressed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very 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: We were right on the water so the location was perfect! Unfortunately, the condition of the property was very poor. The first thing that I noticed was a fine grit on the kitchen countertops that we had to wipe down when we arrived. We then had to call for maintenance to repair the pantry door because the upper hinge was pulled from the door frame. This took two days to repair. On our second day we had to have maintenance come out again because we could not lock our sliding doors on the main level. Maintenance was able to fix one of the sliding doors but unable to fix the second. We will not be returning to Port A!
