Great Location

The condo was updated from the photos we saw online so that was a great surprise. I would stay here again. Note that the only bathroom is in the bedroom so all guests must walk through the bedroom to access it.

El Cortez Villa Beach Vacation

My family and I have been staying at the El Cortez Villas for a long time. We enjoy these condos because they are clean and well maintained, quiet, and close to the beach. The property management group is easy to contact and ready to assist if you need them (i.e. they assisted me with being able to check in early last minute). I highly recommend checking out these condos, ...we stayed in condo #224 during this vacation.

Property was good, management was terrible

We stayed at this El Cortez property over the 4th of July weekend. The property was as-advertised...a little dated, but otherwise clean and what we expected. The communication with the management company "Life in Paradise" was terrible. Despite repeated messages in the week prior to arrival, I got zero responses. I do not mind being told "no", but just ghosting someone that's trying to plan a trip is totally unacceptable. I own rental property, and would never hire this company to manage my rentals.

Needs overhaul

Rusty mirrors, carpet needs replacing did not want to take off shoes. WiFi would not work. I don’t have to have coordinated decor but cleanliness and ability to relax and enjoy is mandatory when spending money on vacation stay.

Baby moon Vacation

Weekend getaway before baby arrives. The location was wonderful! Easy access to beach, close enough to town to drive but far enough from public access to not be crowded. Room was adorable but needs a little tic/updating. Not all the blinds worked properly. Carpet prob needs replacing (old stains) but overall clean, comfortable and just the right size for our trip. Pool was so nice and easy to enjoy without over crowding. Had a little trouble finding it having never been to Port A, ended up in next door neighborhood and had to call for directions that weren’t very clear.

Worst stay ever

The pics do not do this place justice! There’s rust on everything that’s metal. There were ants everywhere outside the front door and in the kitchen on the counters and by the sink. The smell of smoke and stale air was unbearable. We spent twice as much money driving around in the rain because we couldn’t bear to be in that awful apartment. We didn’t even have a curtain in the bedroom, just a semi see through sheet hanging over the curtain rod! For the amount of money we paid I expected more than this sh*thole. Do not recommend to anyone!
