    No complaints at all! The place is great and its just a walk away from the beach. The balcony faced the beach and we got to watch the sun rise.

    The place was clean and very comfortable. For those of you who cook there was a complete set of pots and pans of great quality, which I haven’t seen in other Port A rentals. Highly recommend!!!

    We stayed for two nights and really loved this place. The beds and seating in the living room were all really comfortable and clean. I also liked that the decor was beachy but not over the top. It was tasteful. The view was lovely and the in-suite washer and dryer very much came in handy. Also they let us check in an hour early which was greatly appreciated. My only possible complaint was that we had to sign additional documents external to VRBO. Like I figured we could do everything through VRBO since that's where it's listed but I was sent additional things to sign and asked to upload ID's to an outside website. I was not a huge fan of that. Overall, really enjoyed the stay. Would definitely recommend to friends but suggest management streamline their process. But the property was A++

    This was a great stay for me and my family! The owners were extremely accommodating and it felt like we were at a hotel with all of the amenities. It was so neat to have sand fest starting right out the front door! 10/10 thank you for the great time.

    This condo is spacious, clean and decorated nicely! Loved the easy access to the pool and beach - no need for a golf cart. Fantastic breeze on the porch with a great view of the ocean, so we ate dinner out there every night. Kitchen is well stocked, but does need a scrub brush for dishes. Would be a nice touch if they would provide beach towels, but luckily we brought our own. Would highly recommend!

    Nice location for the beach. Had all the appliances we needed for a family. Only thing I would change is they need blackout shades, at least in the master. Kind of expect to wake up early at the beach, but there was a light on the side of the building that lit up the master even at night.

    Very nice property to stay. Was fully stocked with everything that we expected and more. Easy access to the beach. Loved sitting out on the back patio which gave a wonderful view of the gulf. Would definitely love to stay there for our next family weekend. Thank you!
