The friendliest place we've been to in years. The cottage was wonderful, clean, cute and the bed...I would have taken it home, if it would have fit in my car. We will definitely be back, its the only place we'd stay!

We enjoyed our stay! My kids favorite part of course was the pool and park lol My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub very much. The cottage was the cutest and super cozy! Mary was such a sweetheart the entire time from start of checkout even after checkout. I left behind my sentimental AirPods. They belonged to my brother, who passed away in November. When I realized I had left them behind a day later I was so heartbroken and reached out immediately. Mary responded within minutes and informed me that she will have the cottage checked and let me know if they are found. She replied within an hour and said they were in fact left inside the cottage. I was beyond relieved and so thankful that she was willing to ship them at no charge!! I asked her if she could hold onto them because I’d rather make another drive to pick them up so they aren’t lost in transit since they have such sentimental value to me and she kept them safe for 5 days! Shark Reef Resort has definitely earned our trust and we will definitely be back again when we visit Port A

Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means more than you know 💛 We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay, especially the pool, park, and hot tub — that’s exactly what we love to hear! Your cottage was one of my favorites too 😊 I was so relieved we were able to find your AirPods and keep them safe for you. I can only imagine how much they mean to you guys, and I’m really glad everything worked out the way it did!! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back anytime you’re in Port A!

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at this VRBO. While Mary was kind and responsive, the cleanliness of the property was unacceptable.As soon as we walked in, there was a strong foul odor that seemed to be coming from the sink drain. The AC unit was also dripping water down the wall during our stay. The floors were extremely dirty — within minutes of walking around barefoot, our feet were black.The biggest issue, however, was the amount of dust throughout the home. Dust was visible on light fixtures, table tops, walls, above door frames, and especially on the ceiling fans. The bedroom ceiling fan was completely caked with dust. My wife has asthma, and the poor air quality made her very uncomfortable and caused her to cough constantly.Because of this, we had to check out early from our stay. Unfortunately, no accountability or refund was offered despite the condition of the property.Again, Mary herself was pleasant, but the home is simply not being maintained or cleaned to an acceptable standard.

Thank you for your feedback, Jacob. We’re sorry to hear your wife was uncomfortable during your stay. During your stay, we remained responsive to the concerns that were brought to our attention and have since rechecked the room with both housekeeping and maintenance staff. While we understand not every property is the right fit for every guest, we do take cleanliness concerns seriously and are always working to maintain and improve our family-owned property. We appreciate your stay and wish you both the best moving forward.
