Boardwalk, Shared Pool, Pet Friendly

The home itself does have five bedrooms and four baths. Where do I start? The pluses: accommodated our group of 12, HOA pool was loved by the grandkids, the beach is close with a private boardwalk for the HOA and adjacent HOA. Was an outdoor hose for rinsing off. The kids had a good time.The minuses: Cracks everywhere in the main floor tiles, the refrigerator had a broken shelf and was missing door shelving, cockroaches in many rooms, ants in the kitchen, gas BBQ not functioning (finally got it partially working), 4 of the 8 kitchen seats were useable, but needed maintenance, no vacuum or broom (there was a mop there but no pads) - we bought a broom, some lights were burned out, a bathroom fan was not working. With the exception of a working griddle and a stock pot all the pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc. needs to be replaced. I wouldn't use the pots and pans for my camping gear. No plunger, no first aid kit, no hot pads or oven mitts, no measuring cups, dryer sounds like a jet engine, living room furniture needs a through cleaning or replacement. Probably six hangers in the whole house, now there are 36 more. First beach house I have rented without beach towels. The only tub does not drain at all, the showers have good pressure, the sinks have terrible pressure. Toilet paper is 1 ply sandpaper. Game room dark, dirty, and hot.Bottom line: Other than some interior painting this duplex has not had any maintenance since it was built.

Very nice layout for our family.

Loved this house! Location to beach is great. Plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

We came out to Port A for a much needed get away. The house wonderful, we enjoyed the pool and watched movies in the evening. We will be back next year!

Super close to Cinnamon Shores without all the hundreds of people everywhere. This house is a duplex. Upside is its close to the beach, quiet and well kept. One star drop only to personal preference: Right near a pond so the mosquitos are aggressive, small Livingroom and the beds were like sleeping on a rock (hardest mattresses out there). Great place and will consider returning

Great location. Close to the beach. The living area in the house was small. Not enough cookware and no hot pads whatsoever. The fridge ice did not dispense ice. Also, there was only one door shelf in the fridge. All others were missing. Lights in one bathroom flickered off and on. Some bulbs in kitchen were out.

We had an amazing stay! The house was well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Bedrooms are spacious. The walk to the beach is short and there are showers by the boardwalk which was nice to rinse off before going back. Would stay here again!

Harder to find than I expected. The property was not marked very well and pictures were not helpful in identifying the property. Maintenance needed attention: only a couple of lights has bulbs that worked in the kitchen/dining area, the kitchen tools and pans were sparse, the dryer was full of water, no broom to sweep the sand up, a/c in separate garage/game room didn’t work, tv in living room and master bedroom didn’t work. I’m not sure I would stay in this unit again unless maintenance issues addressed. I did take advantage of the vacation gear and that was great!

First I want to say in the description this is listed a house - this is not a free standing house, it is a duplex. Normally not an issue but the second level deck is a shared space with no divider. The main level deck has a divider but when both parties are out there you can easily hear conversations - same issue with the garage hangout space. Other issues included a lot of non-working items that the listings leads you to believe are in working order - these items included the shooting video game, TV in the garage, dart game in the garage, one of the garage doors, many lights in the garage are out, etc. Additionally, the house is listed as sleeping 14, but yet the kitchen table only seats 8 (10 with the 2 barstools) and there are only 8 plates. We had to go buy paper plates so our whole group could eat together. Overall our group did not feel the kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of pots/pans, coffee maker, but there were no measuring cups nor any glassware for wine. There is a water stain on the master bedroom ceiling that needs to be addressed. Overall the layout of the duplex is interesting. Downstairs has the master bedroom and bathroom plus another full bath but no additional bedrooms. Upstairs has bedroom with bath, plus 3 additional bedrooms that all share the hallway bath unless you want to walk up and down the stairs each time. On the plus side is the cleanliness and location. The walk to the beach is short and easy.

It was an excellent experience. It was clean and comfortable. Loved that we had buggy/beach access. Pool right across from us. Great communication with the host. We will definitely stay again.
