May Beach teip

Condo was clean & comfortable and location was right on the beach with a great boardwalk to the beach. It is a smaller complex and easy access to condo. Not as big and crowded as some of the high rise condos. Very comfy feel. Check in process was very easy. We would rent here again.

Getaway

Property was very comfortable, quiet, spacious and perfect for our family weekend getaway. Wifi was functional unlike some properties we have stayed at and our room even had a smart tv. Our only complaint was the master bed was noticeably warmer then the rest of the rooms and it was quite bright early in the morning making it harder to sleep in other then that it was really accommodating. I would stay here again.

The location was great and the condo was very clean and spacious. Management responded quickly with a replacement when the coffee pot wasn't working. The furniture and bathrooms were dated and dingy but the cost was appropriate for an older community. My kids said some of the game tables were broken so they didn't play there but said the pool was nice. Overall we had a nice family trip that didn't break the bank!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed the first week in May. The interior was lovely, but slightly musty as it was the beginning of the season. Exterior is a little worn, but is very old school Port A for those of us who like that. Ocean view is a generous description - dune view is more accurate. In the kitchen they were short on glasses - 6 glasses and 4 cups for 5 people was a little stingy. Overall we had a great time and would go back.

Would be a good rental if no bug bomb before entering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this for two nights during low season and during a week day so very quiet. Check in with Port A , giving a key , parked under the building. walked up two flights of stairs and opened into a place that was just bugged bombed ! horrible smell and had head-aces the whole time. Place need painting. Sheet very scratchy! The view is not that great, need to be up one more floor.
