Everything it says and more
We loved this house and highly recommend to others. We were traveling with grandparents and their two son’s families. The space was perfect. There was everything we needed in the kitchen (from plenty of pans, plates, silverware, spices, coffee and creamer. I have never had a host leave coffee supplies) and beach supplies were great. They even left a sand bucket and bubbles for the kids. The pool near the house was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

One of Our Best VRBOS
Our large family of grandparents, kids, and adult grandkids plan a yearly vacay. We were very comfortable here with plenty of room to spread out, play games, and cook delicious seafood. The main kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. But the first plus grandma noted was the cleanliness.

Good Location and Roomy
We enjoyed our stay at Sand Point. The owner/manager was responsive to any needs that arose, which were minor. Keep in mind, this is not a new home with new furnishings, but a beach house that is a few generations old. It serves its purpose well, being very spacious for a large group.

This place is a gem!
We had a rental that cancelled on us last minute 😬 we were super lucky to find this wonderful house! We’ve stayed at a variety of rentals in Port A but I think we may have found our happy place! Spacious, well-equipped home, boardwalk to the beach, couple of blocks from the beach road. We had a wonderful trip!

Fun Family vacay
We had a great time at Chili Petin! Everything was exactly as advertised, the house was perfect or our needs. 5 bedrooms and the bunk room was great for our teenagers. Everything was very well stocked and I loved that things were labeled and easy to find. We spent a lot of time on the porches, great furniture and plenty of seats for everyone. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife’s Birthday Weekend
Really enjoyed our stay at Sand Point.
Location was close to everything including walking distance to the beach. House was fully stocked with all the cooking gear, games and stuff you might need for the week at the beach. There is even a beach front bar at the end of the block that makes great pizza if you don’t feel like cooking or found out. Definitely recommended !
