Excellent accommodation!

Karen & Mark run a first class rental! We’ve stayed with them multiple times and have always come away feeling refreshed and well tended to. The mosquitoes were pretty bad on arrival, but Mark quickly took care of the problem.

Island Getaway

This place exceeded my expectations and exceeded its posting! It was myself, my wife and my 16 year old daughter. They lived it! This condo has everything you need! The pool area was so relaxing! The location was perfectly nestled and the neighborhood was quiet. We rented a golf cart from Island Carts, I highly recommend them. Our next trip to Port A my wife has stated that this is the only place we will be staying. That’s fine with me. Book it, you won’t regret it!

Lovely One Month Stay!

My spouse and I thououghly enjoyed our one month stay. The unit and the rest of the property were exactly as advertised. Karen and Mark are great hosts, they provided advise before and during our stay. The kitchen has everything you'd need! TV and Internet were great. We signed into our Netflix while staying there. Bedroom and bathroom exactly as advertised...plenty of room and supplies. The outdoor areas were beautiful and we sure enjoyed sitting outside. We did use the elevator which was a huge help. We loved seeing the big ships in the channel. Very unique experience! I hope we can come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kay Bentley

Host profile image
We are Mark and Karen Bentley. Mark has been coming down here all his life with his grandparents. We've been coming down as a family since 1987. We love this island and all it has to offer and hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

We bought the land lot in 2000 and decided to build in Jan 2017. Timing was right and we always wanted to build a triplex. We always wanted to live in one part and rent out the rest as vacation rental or winter Texan rentals.

What makes this property unique

This property is in town. We are close to the ferry and the marina area. We are less than a mile from the beach by car, bike, or just walking. We are close to restaurants and nightlife. We are close to the Community Pool and not far from the birding center. Our neighborhood is quiet and we can see the big ships coming down the channel from a distance on our front deck. The front deck gives excellent sunset pictures and the back deck some great sunrise pictures.
