Perfect house for family trip to the beach!

We had a fantastic stay at Rum Runner. The house was perfect for our family—clean, well-equipped, and just a short golf cart drive to the beach. The nearby restaurants added to the convenience. Communication with AvantStay was excellent, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

The inside of the condo was appealing with what appeared to be new furnishing and appliances. Our group are 30 year friends (3 couples 1 ) who had a wonderful stay; however, there were some things that kept me from giving a 5 rating. As we cooked small coaches came from behind the stove. Also, when we arrived the pool and outside area had not been cleaned all of which the host was made aware of. I believe these things can easily be fixed with immediate and repeated attention.

Great stay!

This is a lovely property. Very spacious and good for gatherings. Thanks for allowing our 2 small dogs to stay. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of blankets/ quilts. We enjoyed the outdoor deck. I did get into the pool. It was relatively warm for this time of the year. We would stay here again!

Our new favorite

This is our 6th rental in Port A in the last 3 years, and this was our favorite property, by far. It is situated close to the beach, and was more-than-adequately-equipped for multiple guests of varying interests. (The heated pool was a nice amenity this go-around, as it was too windy to stay very long on the beach, itself.)

Enjoyed our stay

Beautiful house very conveniently located to town and the beach. We rented a cart and used it to go to the restaurants. Loved that it had 3 rooms with king sized beds for the 3 adult couples that we went with. Also great for families - lots of bunk beds. The only drawback - the drip coffee maker did not work. We made the best of it. Would rent again.

Great house

House was clean and very nice for our stay. Plenty of room! Loved having the pool! It’s a bit noisy as it is close to some traffic thoroughfare but not terrible. Bring some sharper knives for cooking and bring K Pods if you want to use the Keurig rather than coffee grounds. Great stay for us!

Nice house with a pool

We enjoyed staying at Rum Runner! There are 3 nice size bedrooms in the main house and 1 bedroom downstairs by the garage and near the pool. Nice size living room with a good amount of seating space. The kitchen was well stocked which was nice since we cooked each day. The pool was a nice respite from the beach and it has a fence around it for safety with the little ones. Avenue G is one block away and leads directly to the beach. We would stay at Rum Runner again!

Great escape from the cold!

We enjoyed five nights in this spacious beautiful home. Had everything we needed and then some. Cooked a great steak dinner on the grill and the recommendations they left for restaurants was very helpful. Ample enough room for the six of us to relax. By far, the pool was my favorite part of our vacation! We came from snowy Wisconsin and the heated pool was exactly what we needed. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the sun and it was so nice and warm at night too. Coffee on the porch in the morning was relaxing. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Would recommend!

Nice house great location

Really liked the house and location although I do feel it was overpriced. They need to address a few issues. There was a mold, musty type odor that needs to be addressed. There weren't any wine glasses in the kitchen. There are a lot of light bulbs out downstairs that need replacing. Property Manager's were great, the house just needs some work if they are going to charge so much to rent.
