My family and I stayed here for a stay-cation in Port A and it was fabulous. Heated pool was a major perk! Very convenient location right in town. Property managmement was very attentive to any questions we had.
The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.
Wonderful rental. Super clean with a well stocked kitchen, multiple dining areas inside and out, great pool and plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend.
Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play! Everything was perfect inside too with enough space for everyone to spread out a little but enjoy eachothers company!
Home and cottage were beautifully comfortable. Home contained everything we needed in cooking accessories, as well as kitchen appliances. Beds were very comfortable and clean. The area had easy access to shops. Restaurants abd beach. We loved it!
This property was in the perfect location, within walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. It is kept in immaculate condition, beautifully updated, and is well appointed. It could not have been a more perfect place for our group of families to stay, and we plan to return every year that we’re able.

We stayed in Turtle Dolphin this year for our family trip and it was perfect. We had plenty of space to spread out and loved hanging in the pool late afternoon before dinner.
Perfect Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!
As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone—whether you’re planning a professional retreat or a personal getaway. We will definitely be booking again!

We spent a fabulous weekend with friends in this beautiful home. Unbelievable amount of space, perfect pool and outdoor entertainment area. Great location to navigate the town in the golf cart. Quiet neighborhood. A++++ rating from us. We HIGHLY recommend this property. We are already planning our return for multiple visits. It was that perfect!
We had a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. It was rainy, which put a damper on things, but it was November so that's fine.
The house was perfect. We had two toddlers running around with plenty of space to play. Great kitchen and grill for very fun group dinners! Great house and great communication. We will be going back next year!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was beautiful and large enough for all my family. The location was great and had a pool we all enjoyed. The only downside was the home only had 6 towels for a family of 11. I called the maintenance line and was told someone would be dropping some more off later, but no one showed. Also, there were no extra blankets or pillows in the home besides the thin ones on the bed so if you get cold might want to bring your own.

Our rental was a home that had everything you would possibly need to enjoy a worry free and relaxing stay. The home was so spacious allowing a gathering space to entertain from the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The bedrooms were separated providing privacy and quiet from the main area. The casita on the property was a completely furnished space located steps from the home. A bonus for a single guest that always gets the sofa sleeper. We enjoyed beautiful weather and spent hours in the heated pool. My family will definitely book another stay in one of a kind rental.
