This place was very clean, which included the baseboards and the front windows. The layout was very nice because there was a separate place to eat, separate place to watch tv and relax and separate places to sleep. The place a lot of items to use; however, we did not do any cooking. But, if you wanted to cook, the kitchen had a lot to choose from. We liked that there was a screened in porch and there was ample space to park a crew cab truck with long bed and a gold cart. It was nicely decorated.

Great space

Our family of five (and 2 dogs) had ample space to enjoy our family vacation. Having the pool right across from the house was great for the kids. While it would have been great to be in walking distance to the beach or a beach view, we were glad that the drive to the beach only took five minutes. The house has all the necessities one needs on vacation and we enjoyed our time there.

Perfect stay

We had an amazing time. The house was clean and the owners thought of everything we could possibly need/want on our beach vacation. Lots of little touches like sound machines in all the rooms, all the necessary kitchen appliances, plenty of towels and comfy beds. The kids loved the TV's in each bedroom. The pool was directly in front of the house and the screened in porch was a huge bonus.

This property was wondering for our family! 4 adults, three kiddos (9 & under) & our pup stayed here, enjoyed the pool, screened in porch & easy access to the beach & all the fun in Port A. Kids enjoyed the ‘play room’ immensely. Felt like they had a secret hiding place. Host provided beach towels, toys & chairs, as well as cart to haul it all in. The home was clean & fresh, kitchen was easy to use & a great gathering place around the large table. Very family friendly. Host was so great with communication (unfortunately I was not paying attention to my phone at all). We hope they’ll have us back again. It was a wonderful extended weekend with my kids & we had so much fun.

Family Fun

The house had everything needed and more. The screened porch was a nice addition and was used the most. The pool was located right in front of the house. Parking was tight but we made due. I would definitely rent again.

Stayed here with my dog and 4 college and highschool aged kids. The house was perfect for all of us. Large kitchen made cooking fun and easy (we like to cook together). We were able to buy fish from the fish market and cook with no issue, since the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, and dishes. The dog had outdoor space to hang out in. The bedrooms were comfortable with clean linens. The neighborhood was quiet and adorable. We easily got around the island and did walk to the beach. The owner is very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
