We booked the trip and had an unexpected emergency and then death of a family member. No we did not buy the insurance at first but definitely tried to after (about a week) due to our unforeseen situation. We were not permitted by the site. So we do not want to lose our friends money who booked with us, so we went. The pool was not warm despite the purchase of the pool heater, and the king bedroom bathroom has a sewer smell coming from the drains. The host was slow to respond prior to the date of the trip and when we asked about a light in the pool for evening time, we never received a response. The whole thing was just hard. The house is nice and the bra is beautiful, and we did swim some. It just would have been nice for some compassion and better communication. It was the beginning of spring break so I’m sure they would have been able to book the home if we were permitted to cancel due to life circumstances. We learned a hard lesson during a painful time. We will always get insurance because we cannot count on compassion. It was nice to be able to connect with nature at the beach and we do appreciate the house. We hope the next person has a better experience all the way around

Thank you for your review, and we are truly sorry for your loss. We understand how difficult it must have been to travel during such a painful time. While we always want to accommodate our guests whenever possible, we were sadly unable to cancel and issue a refund outside of the policy and timeframe. We do strongly recommend travel insurance for situations like this, as it can provide coverage for unexpected circumstances. We’re also sorry to hear about the concerns you experienced with the pool, odor, and communication. Your feedback will be shared with our team for review. We’re glad you were still able to find some comfort in the home and enjoy time at the beach. Thank you again for your feedback and for staying with us.

Fantastic Family Vacation

The vacation house was in a great spot that was close to all the places my family wanted to go to!!! The pool was the highlight of the trip and where we spent most of our time while at the house!! Would highly recommend for a family of four like ours, and we also took our two dogs who seemed to love it as well!!

We had a really nice stay at this property. Everything was very clean and well maintained, which made us feel comfortable right away. The pool was a wonderful bonus and a perfect way to spend the afternoons after coming back from the beach. The location was also great, literally just a short golf cart drive to the beach and close to restaurants and shops.One of the highlights for us was that the property is pet-friendly. It made our trip so much easier to bring our furry family members along, and the space worked well for having pets with us.The only minor downside was that some of the furniture wasn’t as comfortable as we’d hoped, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, this is a clean, convenient, pet friendly spot with a pool, and we’d definitely consider staying again.

Great Vacation Location!

This is a wonderful house in Port A! It is in a neighborhood that is close to everything and oh, so quiet and peaceful! You can catch a cool sea breeze from the deck and swim in a crystal clear pool (the water felt great!). Buy a parking pass and drive to the beach in minutes--you don't have to haul all your stuff down the street or over a dune. It's also a quick trip to the grocery store, Fins, or the coffee shop! No pics this time--we ended up so chilled that I did not take a single photo! Just know the house is impeccably clean, comfy, and roomy for a couple or a small group. Well outfitted for our stay. It's pet friendly, too!

Yearly stay in Port A

Our friends and us have been coming to Port A every year for the past 7 yrs and this is by far the best vacation spot we have stayed at. We did have a little plumbing issue a I called and someone was there within 20 minutes to fix the problem. We were very pleased how fast you sent someone and the young man was very polite and friendly and was able to fix the issue quickly. The only issue I had was the pillows provided were not comfortable to use and the bed sheet would not stay in place, Otherwise everything else was great and we will definitely book here again. Thank you so much!
