We’ve stayed in Port A multiple times and this is by far the best value! It was beautiful and had a view of the beach. Everything we needed was there for us, and the host was so attentive. I highly recommend this place!
Beautiful view in a comfortable condo. So much room that the four kids each had their own beds. So close to the beach we spent every morning there and at most afternoons at the pool.
My stay was amazing the view was absolutely beautiful. The condo was loaded with everything I needed for my stay.The beach was just walking distance and just 3 or 4 min from town. It was so worth the stay.i will definitely be referring my family and friends and will be returning my self.
The stay was amazing! It exceeded expectations and had a beautiful ocean front view. Very nice amenities. It was very comfortable and the property is very well taken care of.
We have stayed at this luxurious condominium two different times. I love the layout of the condominium and the ocean views! It is convenient to everything and the tranquil ambiance is so relaxing and fun for all ages!Definitely a 5 STAR RATING!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. The views were great and the condo is only a short walk over the dunes to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped with all the dishes and appliances we needed.
This is our 2nd time staying at this unit. We like the convenient location, the size accommodates our family and the Gulf view is beautiful. Online pictures accurately depict the condo.
We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was well stocked. The grounds were well maintained and we used the pickle ball courts and pool often. There was music Sat night and 2 boardwalks to the beach.
Very nice condo, great location and plenty of amenities. Great view over the Gulf. Would stay at again. Our flight arrived early in the morning and the owner was able to move our check in time up an hour.
We had a great stay! The house was in a perfect location—just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to go back and forth throughout the day. We really liked the layout of the house; it was spacious and comfortable for our group. The only thing we would change next time is choosing a place with more bathrooms to better suit our needs, but that was on us—not the property’s fault at all. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d definitely stay again!
Very clean home with easy access to the beach. House had everything we needed and host was easy to get in touch with. Front office people are also friendly and helpful!
The condo was tastefully decorated and comfortable. Stocked with everything you need. The view was amazing and private. Great deck for morning coffee and evening wine! Water pressure was perfect! Location was close to town and beach access. Complex Amenities were nice as well.
Beach home was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Host was very responsive- answering questions prior to our stay. Will definitely stay here again!
Great property, plenty of room for our group and a great location. And the owner was very easy to communicate with. We’d love to rent again!

What makes this property unique
The third/top floor has gulf views with a large balcony that spans the living room and dining room. We have maximized our condo to accommodate families so that parents can be together with kids and grandchildren. We are beachfront with an easy walk on the boardwalk over the sand dunes to the flat part of the beach. It is so relaxing to sit on the large balcony for hours watching the waves, reading a book our spending time with friends and family.
