    I go fishing with friend's in Port A annually but never stay at the same rental twice. I will stay here again next year.

    Spacious older home that needs some TLC. Master bath leaks down through a light fixture at front door. Plenty of room for a big family to include your doggie a plus.

    6 guys down for fishing trip. Very comfy, clean house with a good location. Loads of parking and close to the beach. Had bad luck with the AC in the garage bed rooms go out but the management company were quick to respond and had a guy out to service it on a saturday afternoon. Thank you Cheryl!

    This was an excellent property. The house was clean, well laid out, and the AC worked well. It was close to the beach, and well stocked with appliances and utensils. We would happily book again. Just some FYI's to other folks. Due to the size of the dunes, it is very difficult to see the beach from the house. In addition, the walking path is difficult (1/4 mile long and about 6 stories of elevation changes) even for our very much in-shape young adults. Plan on needing to drive to the beach for anyone that's not in peak physical condition. The house does not come well stocked with soaps/toilet paper/etc. A couple of days at most so bring some with you, or expect to buy it. They were kind enough to give us a second welcome package.

    This house was great for our group of twelve. Super spacious and clean. The kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking and dining. I hope at some point they install a connecting bathroom for the two rooms downstairs. That would make this house PERFECT! The area was nice and quiet. The boardwalk was a little sketchy to navigate but was handy to have for that midnight trip to the beach.

    The property was as it was advertised. The two bedrooms downstairs had no bathrooms and had to come to the second (main) floor for bathroom access but overall it was a nice home and would definitely consider staying there again.

    We had 4 generations staying there. There was plenty of space and parking for everyone. It was clean, cool and close to the beach. We had a fabulous time.

    I'll start with the positives. The living area and dining areas were lovely and were great for our group of 9 to all hang out and enjoy each other's company. The upstairs rooms were also very nice, and the master had a gorgeous bathroom. However, the A/C upstairs was not working, so they had put window units in each room that were quite loud and were dripping into buckets on the balcony. The major issue was the downstairs rooms. They were in the garage, which wouldn't be a big problem, but there is no bathroom down there. Also, those rooms had a musty smell and everything in there felt a bit damp. We also found a variety of bugs throughout the house, and a mouse made its way into some of the food we had stored in the pantry. While the location was good and the gathering areas were nice, I would not book this house again.

    House was great and had plenty of room for our party of 11. Driveway was huge and had plenty of room for multiple cars and a truck and boat trailer. The AC was not working upstairs when we arrived but they were already working on it and had it fixed quick. If I were to change anything it would be to have a small bathroom in the garage. One more full bathroom would make it the perfect place!

    If your under 25 and never rented a house this is the place for you. If your older with a family and want something comfortable and safe, this is not the place. Our child has his arm go through a windowed door that maintenance had know about and neglected to repair correctly for the sake of owner revenue gain. Image beach air coming right through your living room. Very unsafe place to rent.
