Nice condo

Condo is in great location, close to everything, complex is old but it’s well kept. The pool is nice. The unit is clean, well kept and great for 2 people, 4 would be a bit crowded. Only downside is no washer/dryer in the unit. Very enjoyable stay and we’ll be back.

Delightful Getaway

We enjoyed our quick weekend trip to Port A. This property is very comfortable, had everything we needed, and close to restaurants and shopping. We loved the boardwalk to the beach just outside the unit, and the view from the balcony was beautiful.

Very comfortable and a great location

The room was the perfect location for me and my Mom's trip. We had a wonderful view of the ocean and a very short walk to the beach. The room was very comfortable and fit all of our needs perfectly. I will be back.

This condo is perfect for a couple or a small family. The location is right behind the dunes next to the boardwalk to the beach (Marker 11). The view from the balcony is perfect!

A perfectly relaxing beach stay!

We went in the off season during the week. So it seemed quiet and away from the north side of the town. The space met all of our functional needs. I like the pool on the property, too. Most importantly, it was a short walk (about 100 yards) to the beach.

Great time. Great place.

Great location in town. Close to everything. Super easy beach access. It could use a few updates like more counter space in bathroom and a ventilation fan to help with foggy mirrors but overall a nice, comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed it and our little one loves the beach. A win win.

Great view!

Overall, we would stay again. Easy to get to with plenty of parking. Close enough to town that it was a short drive. Excellent view from the balcony, where we spent a lot of time. Short walk to the beach over a private boardwalk. Could use some updates, carpet and counter tops. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable.

This way to the Beach!

This was the perfect size room for two people. The kitchen was small, but we didn't use it for anything but the refrigerator. The main attraction to this place is definitely the living/bedroom/balcony. It was well appointed with the typical seascape island decor, but it was very cute and well done. Thank you for the very nice place stay. Hopefully, we'll rent it again some day.

Island retreat stay

We loved this property! You can sit in bed and see the waves. Or was a nice shirt walk to the beach. And they had a hose off station so you don't have to deal with sand in the room. I did stay with my fiance and there was no way we could sleep in the same bed, as they were both full size, but we both agree we felt well rested each night.
