    We love staying at Island Retreat and at this unit in particular. It is clean, quiet, and so conveniently located. The recent renovations to the unit, particularly the kitchen are very nice. Island Retreat is a gem! It is very well maintained and has everything we need - pool, tennis/pickle ball courts, picnic area with BBQ grills, and laundry facilities. The beach is always stunning and is right over the sand dunes. We love sitting on the porch and listening to the waves. We are already planning our next trip!

    Very happy with the property, everything was clean and tidy. Loved the boardwalk to the beach right behind our place, though it was weird hearing people walk by at night. Happy that they’re so tight on security—honestly left our yeti in our truck bed one night and was relieved it was there in the morning. Would stay here again!

    Boardwalk to the beach with lighted pathway and outdoor shower area to wash off Sandy feet after a walk on the beach. Close to town and well maintained property.

    Easy renting and check-in. Condo was clean. Comfy beds. Close proximity to the boardwalk to the beach was a bonus. Definitely will stay here again.

    Amazing decor and wonderful look and feel! We loved being on the first floor and have a very short walk to the beach and the pool. We felt right at home and wish we could have stayed longer!

    This is a nice little unit that has been recently updated, and it was perfect for my small family. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach, which was only a short walk across the boardwalk from our door. We'll definitely look for this unit again when we return to Port A.

    Overall, a great property! Location cannot be beat. Very comfortable and relaxing. Were we to look to quibble, we would like a boost to the WiFi -- we could only get 1 bar much of the time.
