We had a wonderful time at the Blue Fin House! It worked perfectly for our family vacation. We were 9 adults and 1 child-3 generations. The house was spacious and clean. There was plenty of dishes and kitchen appliances that we were able to eat-in when we wanted. We had a golf cart, but it was close enough for an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed sipping our morning coffee on the various balconies. A couple of maintenance issues-some torn sofa pillows, the top bathroom tub took a while to drain, and the primary bedroom door dragged but nothing that affected our overall stay. The wifi was spotty but I saw that as a plus-it made all my kids unplug and be present! We will choose it again the next time we stay.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Blue Fin House worked so well for your multi-generational family vacation. It’s great to know you enjoyed the spacious layout, fully stocked kitchen, and relaxing balconies. We truly appreciate your feedback on the few maintenance items and WiFi—we’ll make sure to address them. We’re so glad it didn’t impact your stay and that everyone could unplug a bit! We’d love to host you again on your next visit.

Beautifully decorated!

Our family was in love with the house decor here. The owners were very thoughtful with all of the little additional extras. Everything was new and there was lots of space for our family. The boys loved the downstairs bedroom with all of the board games and big open space to play in. We loved how close it was to the beach. We rented a golf cart and rode across the boardwalk to the water. Very nice and would recommend.

Great house!

This house was perfect for our needs. We had 9 adults and 6 kids. The bunk room is amazing! 3 bedrooms for the 3 couples and the bunk room for all the kids to hang out. The 3rd floor has a narrow patio area where the girls liked to hang out. Renting a golf cart will help you lug all your stuff to the beach.

Great property

We really enjoyed this property. The home was clean and fresh. All beds were comfortable and clean. All bathrooms were clean and fully stocked. There were plenty of bath and beach towels. The laundry room was is good condition. The kitchen was actually overly stocked!!! :-) TVs in every room worked well. Air conditioning worked great and the fans added a nice cooler touch. Porches and decks were nice. The decorations all over the house were so beachy sweet. The game room was stocked with games and fun stuff. House looks like it’s been newly renovated and maintained well with everything you need and more. We definitely recommend this property and it’s well worth the price.

Very disappointed!

I will start off by saying that this home is just as listed. The bunk room was great, the kids loved that part of the house and watched a lot of movies in there. On the down side, we didn’t have a dishwasher for our entire trip and the smell coming from it was awful. Service men kept coming in and out to see if it could be fixed. The fire alarm also went off anytime we opened the over, waking everyone up in the morning when making breakfast. This issue wasn’t fixed either. All I got back from management was sorry, we hope you stay with us again. Also, the community pool is extremely shallow, only our little ones would swim.

Cluttered and dirty

This property has the potential to be a great get away for families headed to the Gulf based on location and ease of access to the beach but it falls short in some very important areas. In a time of COVID and the drastic downturn in the travel industry you would think there would be a focus on cleaning and sanitizing which was not the case with this home. The home needs a deep cleaning and specifically the kitchen emptied, decluttered and scrubbed. The simple task of heating up food in the oven would set off the smoke alarms each time we opened the door. The bathrooms had only been superciliously cleaned and we needed to break out the Clorox wipes to clean off the stains left by others. The home has also had some remodeling which includes what looks like a do it yourself conversion of the kids room shown in the photo to install queen over queen bunk beds. I am shocked that the safety risks these present have not been addressed before renting to families. There are no ladders on two of the bunks and the ladder attached to the one functional bunk is flimsy and the treads are spaced to far a part for a child to safely use. The previous review concerning the unsafe rope rail is valid. There are a number of stairs to get to the viewing deck and they are steep. curved and tiled. These stairs should have a hand rail that meets code and not one which supports a nautical theme. The landscaping and lawn in the back yard looks to have been abandoned, so if the photos suggest a great place for kids and pets to play those ideas should be set aside. We will return to Port A but we will definitely look for a different rental.

We are sorry to hear your previous experience with us was not a positive one. We however would love to have you stay with us in the future, we strive to provide the best quality of customer service for all guest staying with us. We appreciate your feedback and will utilize it to improve the overall experience every guest has when staying with us! We can ensure all the issues you have mentioned have been resolved. Cleanliness and sanitization are the upmost important things to us during this current pandemic. We have addressed the issue with the stove setting off the smoke alarms and can ensure you that will no longer be a problem now or in the future. The owner has since installed ladders to the bunk beds in the kids room. In regards to the rope rail, we spoke to the owner about the concern and are awaiting feedback. Onto the yard, we apologize that it had looked abandoned. During the time of year that you stayed it is very difficult to keep the grass alive and green as it does well in the spring, summer, and fall, but not in the winter. We will do our best to be more vigilant in paying more attention to the yard. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and give us another try! We look forward to earning your business back! ~ Your Port A Beach House Family

Property and rental needs attention

The rental home needs a lot of TLC, and shows neglect. First it needs a thorough cleaning, windows, floors, kitchen drawers, stove, baking sheets. Second major repairs should be a priority for the safety of the guests; back door where the five beds are located where you normally would put children cannot physically be unlocked from the inside. This could be a fire hazard. The oven door can only open to a 30° angle before it hits a cabinet door underneath the sink. If you have to remove something from the oven that has been baking, you can burn the back of your arms and elbows. No oven mitts were present. The fenced in yard cannot be used as there were numerous ant hills as well as sand burr grasses. The sand burrs would adhere to our dogs causing them to limp. After we discovered this we never went into the yard. Landscaping also neglected and does not present itself well. The shower curtain rod in the master was installed too low making it difficult to open and close the bathroom door. We did find cockroaches in the first floor bedroom. The AC inlet covers inside the home are rusty which can be corrected with paint. The railing on the steps is a heavy rope, which if you are falling I don’t know if it would be strong enough to break your fall? The house is in a great location, convenient to the boardwalk and the beach. We were able to enjoy the third-floor balcony with views of the sunset and sunrise. There is a small view of the ocean which we were glad to have. This really could be a very enjoyable rental if time and money were invested to make some much needed repairs. We understand that it is a rental and will not be perfect, but in the last 15 years of renting homes for all our vacations, this is the first time we have been in a house that has been this neglected.
