A group of us have been coming to Port A for years. This is our new go-to place for our annual get-together. The house was great. Very clean and the location was great.
Beautiful house with spacious bedrooms and living area. Well equipped kitchen. Great bonus of a child gate at the top of the stairs. The location was excellent and even walkable to some dinner locations.
The house was in superb location and very clean. Check in process was seamless and communication with host was great! Highly recommend this house to anyone looking to visit Port A!
Our family of 6 plus 2 small dogs loved this property. The home was very clean and spacious, plus the kitchen had pretty much anything you may need to cook a meal. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs, too! We were very close to the beach as well as the very. We would stay here again!
Good location but no ocean view easy access to beach from Avenue G can also walk to shopping and a few restaurants and bars. We had a great time and lots of space for all.
My group loved this house!! Top to bottom 1st class accommodations.
I had 5 couples a for business fishing/beach trip and everyone was blown away by this property.
We will definitely rebook this home very soon!!
We all had the greatest time. The swimming pool area has a great layout for both adults and kids. Lots of space to store your beach and pool toys. The property was super clean, well stocked kitchen, and convenient location to everything. SWAY took very good care of us during our stay. Missing it already.
The house and pool were great. My family really enjoyed their stay here. Only problem we had was ice maker in kitchen did not work. We had to go to pool house to get ice, which was kind of a pain. Other than that, we loved the house. We would definitely stay here again.
We came as an end of summer trip. Family of 12 with toddlers, teens and adults. Very spacious, plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. If you have toddlers consider bringing a baby gate for bottom downstairs, top of stairs had a retractable baby gate. Home had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Couldn’t have been any better! We would definitely recommend and will be back! Would also recommend Barefoot Beans for your coffee fix.
This house is all they say it is. I couldn’t have found a better place for our large family. My only thing was the stove top. 3 of the knobs were broken. So I only had 2 burners to cook with. The only reason it wasn’t a 5 star.
The pool was beautiful access to everything was so close. We drove our golf carts the entire time there.
It was a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. I am a little OCD so I did some cleaning when I arrived. But that’s just me.
The house was great there were problems though. The AC in my room did not work. Ice maker didn't work, broken shower door upstairs. Over all though these were all small inconveniences. The house is beautiful and the house was very clean.
The pictures of the listing adequately represented the home. It’s super cute and you can tell a lot of work has been poured in to the property.
Cons: odd smell - like moth balls and cigarette; washing machine had musty smell; downstairs king shower drain slow to drain; pool dirty (pool people came for biweekly clean and did not vacuum or skim the pool at all); did not read the photo details in the listing and did not realize detached apartment only had an outdoor shower.
Pros: great layout for multiple families to each have our own space; kids loved their own bunk room; beautiful updates and decor; location was so close to the beach and restaurants but definitely in the older part of town; we enjoyed having a private pool (this is a must for us!!); the ring game is a nice touch on the patio; and communication with the owners was very much appreciated.
Overall, this was a great house for our large multi-family group.
The place was updated and immaculately clean, with Everything that you need in a kitchen. The host was proactive and helpful. The only drawback was the fact that the kitchen and common areas were located upstairs, and we traveled with 2 mobility impaired family members.
We enjoyed our stay plenty of room and the location is very close to the beach. The communication with the owner was very good as well very responsive would definitely consider staying here again
This was an amazing house , very clean and well kept. You can tell the owners take pride in their property . The covered area under the deck made it nice when trying to retreat from the sun. Overall great house and would rent it again.
We enjoyed our stay at the house. The pictures and descriptions are accurate. The yard is secure for pets. The house is well appointed with furniture, kitchenware, etc. The location is convenient to the beach, jetty/pier, and town. The owner's communication was clear and quick. We would stay here again if we came back to Port A
