Thank you for your heartwarming review! We’re so glad you enjoyed spending time by the pool—it sounds like it was perfect for your stay. It’s wonderful to hear that your two lovely senior dogs appreciated the ease of no stairs as well. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back next year if you return to Port A! -Life in Paradise Team
Great vacay in Port A! This property accommodated our group of adults & young adults perfectly. Plus, the location was very convenient. We parked the cars & cruised in the golf carts…added bonus, no sandy cars!

The house worked perfectly for our large group - seven adults and four kids. The property was beautiful, clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The game room kept the kids entertained, everyone enjoyed the pool, and we were just a short golf cart ride from the beach. What more could you ask for? We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home with a fantastic pool and lounge areas.
The whole family loved the spaciousness of the home with the open floor plan on main level. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Had everything we needed for family of 8 even a game room for the gamers. The pool and lounge areas with a picnic table were our favorite places to gather.
