Location is great. Floors should be replaced. Property is fine, just a bit worn and kitchen pots and pans should be replaced.
House is nice with many extras however the floor needs to be replaced as some raised screws and flipped panels are a safety hazard. The pool requires cleaning, lots of sand.

The rental was great overall with a few minor issues: flooring is coming up in hall and several people almost tripped and fell, two sinks clogged but maintenance came right away to fix, the light at the top of the stairs was out.....the pool was the best ever for my four year old granddaughter who now doesn’t have to use her life vest!!!

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear the rental worked well for your family and that your granddaughter enjoyed the pool — that’s such a special milestone! We appreciate you pointing out the maintenance items, and we’re glad our team was able to respond quickly. We’ve already scheduled repairs for the flooring and light to ensure everything is in great shape for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The house is a great set up for a large group. We loved having the pool and the bathroom and bar/fridge by the pool was perfect.

This house was clean and beautiful. The floors needs to be fixed as some of the wood was coming up and getting stuck on our shoes and we were trying not to cut ourselves. The pool was not very clean. But it was a perfect time. Thank you

This house was VERY clean and we enjoyed our stay. The private pool was awesome because there were lots of jellyfish in the bay. Trip would’ve been a bust without the pool.

The private pool was a hit and enjoyed by everyone! Overall the house was clean, the sheets were rough and itchy but the beds were comfy. I wish there were more towels available as each person got only 1 towel which leaves you washing bath towels every day. The floors were all cracked and coming apart which was not disclosed. There isn’t a ton of space in the kitchen either and no ice maker.

Great stay! It was good for our family of 6 adults. The only negative was that the bedrooms got really hot at night even with the AC set low. The king beds were also a bit uncomfortable however having a private pool and a pet friendly property was great!

Great house. spacious and clean. Linens and towels sufficient for our stay. Very nice pool and seating area. Enough parking for vehicles and golf carts.close to beach access too.. excellent customer service from property management staff.
A mix of families and young and middle aged partygoers in this complex which was probably a mile from public beach access. Loved that my big dog could stay with us (although property listing incorrectly said only under 20 lb dogs but that was cleared up before we left). Great size and plenty of kitchen wares. Pick up groceries before you take the ferry across to Port A, so you can spend more time on sandcastles and relaxing at the pool.

We had a great time! Our yearly trip to Port A was amazing. The place was spotless and so pretty, the private pool was a great plus for our family of 10, 4 rooms 3 baths upstairs (2 master bedrooms) and the half bathroom next to the pool was very useful. Amazing location near the beach., convenience stores and restaurants. We couldn’t ask for more! Can’t wait to go back!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, as they help us identify areas where we can improve.
We’re currently reviewing the flooring and will have our maintenance team inspect the sink issue right away. Your note about the pool and overall condition of the home is also being addressed with our cleaning and property teams to ensure a better guest experience moving forward.
We hope you’ll consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide you with the experience you deserve.
If I could make some changes, it would be beach access #1. It’s not a long haul to the beach and thankfully we rented a golf cart, which helped. The pool is very small and although private, the houses are right next door to one another. Friendly neighbors though! The house did not come with many staples and even though it didn’t mention that it would, we have been spoiled by other homes that did. Overall, it’s a nice place

Thank you for the nice review. We wish there was a boardwalk as well, but the community behind them would not allow it.
You are correct about the perishables, we do not leave any, but we always try to let people know so they don't expect them.There was an incident years ago in another state where poison was found in the salt shaker. Since that time we have not taken any chances.! I agree it would be more convenient, but we choose not to.
We hope you'll stay with us again, we have many homes with larger pools.

Our family of 19 stayed at Cherry on Top and There’s Money in the Banana Stand for 4 nights in July. The ability to park under the house was a bonus that allowed us to congregate and grill in a shaded area. We spent about half of the day at the beach and the rest at the Cherry pool. The grandkids loved it! The dryer was out of service at Cherry but we shared the dryer at Banana Stand when needed. The AC worked great in both units, the beds were comfortable, check in and checkout was smooth. This was the best setup we have stayed in at PA so far and Port A Escapes provided great service.
