Property was just as described. Communication with management was easy and quick. Concerns were resolved in a timely manner. Our ONLY complaint is that the mattress in the primary bedroom was lumpy, uncomfortable and quite noisy/squeaky with any movement. Full sized bottom bunk mattress also had this issue. Enjoyed our stay very much. Will gladly book again.

Beautiful beach getaway

Our family of six stayed for two nights in this beautiful house. The house was exactly like the listing, beautifully decorated and incredibly clean, one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The pool was beautiful and a great addition to the stay after the kids were worn out from the beach. The beach was a one minute drive from the house and a couple minutes to stores and restaurants, perfect location. FYI for future guests to bring your own laundry soap and shampoo/conditioner. Very easy check out instructions which is very appreciated with trying to get our family packed up to leave. We would 100% book this house again!

Getaway

The house was exactly as advertised. The pool was the best part of our stay. We would definitely stay again. We did have a few issues with the tv's and the dryer. None of these were deal-breaker for us and they did send a repair man right away. They dryer was beyond repair.

We enjoyed our stay the only issue was to many remote control for TV’s. & Trying to figure out

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again and will recommend. Only issue (if you want to call it a problem. It was an issue for us) was to many TV remotes difficult to figure out which would make it work.

Great Spring Break stay

Location of home was just blocks away from beach! Neighborhood was quiet! I stayed with 5 kids (ages 5-13) they loved it! Private pool was good to jump into, a little chilly during this time of year. The kids didn’t mind at all & spent hours in there. Was good to have a bathroom down by pool & outdoor shower. House was nice with lots of extra linens & blankets which was convenient.Would definitely stay here again!

Big Nauti was clean, comfortable, and close to the beach. We enjoyed morning coffee on the wrap around porches and evening swims in the pool. I'd be happy to return to Big Nauti next time we're in Port A.

Fantastic House

We had a group of girlfriends stay together and this house is exactly how it is pictured. Very cute, clean, comfy, everything you could want in a vacation house. It was very close to the beach, we were able to walk to the amazing Waves coffee shop. The pool was clean, great size, nice pool floats. We will definitely plan a trip back here! This house was perfect and we were so happy with everything. Thank you for a wonderful place!

Great place, needs some attention to detail

Overall, the place was terrific. However, the sheets in the main bedroom appeared to not have been washed as there was hair on the sheets and there was a stain on one of the pillows. There was also a huge cockroach in the bathroom. Oh, and one of the locks on a sliding door was kind of janky as it wasn't functioning properly.

Fun girls trip

Great little house! Location was fantastic, very close to the beach access. House was clean and equipped with everything we needed, including an ice make which was a nice bonus. Pool was a game changer, small but in great condition and even had a few pool floats and toys. Downstairs pool bath was super convenient. Management company was amazing, the AC went out on our second day and they were there to fix it within minutes! Would love to stay here again

Weekend getaway

This is a great, pet-friendly home that features a pool and nice outdoor space. The location is prime to walk to the beach (about 0.5 miles). We also walked to Coffee Waves each morning (0.8 miles) while it was still cool in the mornings. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us!
