A house we will talk about for years to come! It was rad, comfortable, spacious: "one of a kind" was invented for this property!!!We were a group of 7: 3 moms and 4 teens - and this house was beyond amazing. Every time we turned around, there was a part of the house or property that we hadn't seen yet! There is plenty of space inside and out. The pool is beyond anything you've seen for Port A properties, it can't be beat. The location is within the golf cart zones. We went to the fishing pier, the beach, the shops, parasailing, the ceramic shop-- y'all can get to everything in P.A. by cart from this location, which was super important to us.I'm 100% Texan and we know about creepy crawlers, especially at night, and around water and wood and older establishments....The only reason I'm at 4.99999998.... stars is because we could not enjoy the game room due to this. Bummer, because it was a really cool space that our boys were excited about.Y'all, this house is what our family will remember for years. The kids won't stop talking about it. The newer homes and construction are beautiful and made the planning of my trip take for ever! (and i looked at TONS of homes, but I'm telling you, this is the one. ) Be adventurous, get your family and/or besties together, and stay at the place that can be seen for blocks and will create memories for life. You will love it! *To the owners, Thank you for sharing it *

Weekend getaway with a baby

We rented this property for our first vacation with an infant. It couldn't have been more perfect. Plenty of privacy if you have multiple families. It was a lot of house for our little family, but so worth it for the pool!
