Cute, Cozy, Adorable Cottage in Port A

As soon as we walked into this adorable cottage, we fell in love. It is small, but it's not at all claustrophobic. Everything is smartly arranged to maximize space and decorated with the the cutest beach themed furnishings. We will be back!!! stprecious beach debit.

Lovely little getaway - lack of parking

It was a great little stay, loved the location, etc. We were only told of 1 parking spot during our check in text. The bathroom is cute, but definitely not spa-like. The bed is a storage for winter window storm boards.

Cute cottage

The cottage is very cute, has everything you need. Great location and close to beach. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating is due to the bed. The bed DESPERATELY needs a new mattress. It’s extremely lumpy and very squeaky.

Nice bungalow

Cute little bungalow. Some kitchenware, but not much. Tiny bathroom with no space for even a toothbrush. Still, cute and fine for two people. Recommend driving to the beach from property.

Weekend Getaway

Cabin was clean and comfortable. Convenient location, easy check in and out. This is a group of 6-7 cabins together, parking is tight and limited. A couple of the neighbors were apparently long term or permanent residents and could have been friendlier. To be fair, short term renters are at times noisy and rude, so I get it. My wife and I were low key and quiet so it didn’t really bother us. I would definitely stay here again and simply ignore grouchy neighbors.
