Perfect spot for a family getaway. The condo was adorable, roomy, and comfortable for all of us. The unobstructed beach view was a huge bonus. Highly recommend for families.

The place was clean and very comfortable. For those of you who cook there was a complete set of pots and pans of great quality, which I haven’t seen in other Port A rentals. Highly recommend!!!

This was a great stay for me and my family! The owners were extremely accommodating and it felt like we were at a hotel with all of the amenities. It was so neat to have sand fest starting right out the front door! 10/10 thank you for the great time.

Very nice property to stay. Was fully stocked with everything that we expected and more. Easy access to the beach. Loved sitting out on the back patio which gave a wonderful view of the gulf. Would definitely love to stay there for our next family weekend. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the review and we appreciate your feedback! We are so please you enjoyed the property, and the beach, and your stay was relaxing! We look forward to your return to the Island!
Nice location for the beach. Had all the appliances we needed for a family. Only thing I would change is they need blackout shades, at least in the master. Kind of expect to wake up early at the beach, but there was a light on the side of the building that lit up the master even at night.

Thank you for the 5-star review. We hope to see you again soon at Life in Paradise!
This condo is spacious, clean and decorated nicely! Loved the easy access to the pool and beach - no need for a golf cart. Fantastic breeze on the porch with a great view of the ocean, so we ate dinner out there every night. Kitchen is well stocked, but does need a scrub brush for dishes. Would be a nice touch if they would provide beach towels, but luckily we brought our own. Would highly recommend!

Thanks so much for staying with us, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay,
We look forward to having you come again soon.
We stayed for two nights and really loved this place. The beds and seating in the living room were all really comfortable and clean. I also liked that the decor was beachy but not over the top. It was tasteful. The view was lovely and the in-suite washer and dryer very much came in handy. Also they let us check in an hour early which was greatly appreciated.
My only possible complaint was that we had to sign additional documents external to VRBO. Like I figured we could do everything through VRBO since that's where it's listed but I was sent additional things to sign and asked to upload ID's to an outside website. I was not a huge fan of that.
Overall, really enjoyed the stay. Would definitely recommend to friends but suggest management streamline their process. But the property was A++

Property was very clean inside, all new decor and appliances, calming, comfortable and beautiful. Book nook and games was a great add. Pool area was clean and well kept. Grill and picnic area were good. Thermostat was set on a timer by property management, everyone would wake up very hot and sweating. Bathrooms need safety bars in showers, nothing to hold onto to prevent a fall. Middle bedroom door knob was loose, that should have been fixed before your guest arrived, also the TV volume would not go louder, could not hear. TV in the living area was a disappointment, since the larger wall screen TV was not connected to work. Plastic pink hair brush was left hanging in master shower with last visitors hair in it. The communication was not up to par, received an automated response and not a reply from Steve, it was an entire week later when we received automated messages. Thank you for providing, soaps and lotions in all areas, nice clean towels, and an excellent amount of trash bags. Would recommend others to visit for a nice place to stay.
