Nice place for the price. Had a very overpowering smell of cigarettes and moth balls. Also all the lamps had a short in them or the plugs were bad. All they did was flash on and off unless you got the cords right. Other than that, for people who are out of the room and just need a place to sleep, this is the place.

The rental was a bottom story condo so there was no beach view. A neighborhood sits between the condo and the beach. The pool was great and the condo was clean and comfortable. It was a great stay for the price!

Close to beach but not very sanitary

We loved the location and how close it is to the beach. However, many dishes had been put away dirty. There was silverware that was clearly dirty and a pitcher that was sticky and also completely unwashed. The dirty dishes probably caused the roaches. It was otherwise clean if a bit shabby.

Awesome and responsive staff, not great amenities

The staff at Port A escapes were great. When we arrived at our unit, our keys did not work. After hours maintenance arrived in less than 30 minutes with a new key. They unit itself was very clean, though we did see 3-4 roaches during our stay, including one in our bed. The water in the shower was lukewarm at best, and the water pressure was sub-par.

We will certainly look into this more being that no issues have been reported by any guest recently.
