The perfect set up for multi generational family. Every family had their own space. Great response time from property manager when we couldn’t figure out the lift.

We hope you made many happy family memories and truly hope to see you again soon! -Port A Escapes
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. It allowed separate spaces for all family members and also good living/kitchen spaces to gather as well. The pool was a great asset along with the lift that could move luggage and groceries to the 2nd floor. Kitchen was well-stocked. The furniture was quite comfortable. The picnic table in the breezeway was a good outdoor dining option. The house was located between 2 beach access roads and was a short distance to restaurants and shopping.

Thank you for your 5 star review! We hope you made many happy family memories and truly hope to see you again soon! -Port A Escapes
This was a great property that was conveniently located so close to everything in town. There were four main sections that each had their own fridges and living spaces, which was perfect for balancing the needs of different groups in our family. Check-in and out were a breeze and the host had excellent communication. Will definitely rent from this property management group again!

Property not cleaned well. Floors were dirty. Cargo lift never fixed the whole time we were there. No water pressure downstairs. Saw roaches in kitchen. Otherwise fine, pet friendly stay for multiple families. But think it could’ve been cleaner.

Awesome! We are so happy to hear "Hakuna Matata" is your new annual guys trip home! We can not wait to have you back. Please call us for your next visit!
This is an amazing place to stay with friends and family. The layout is pretty cool, it’s like four condos under one roof. It worked so well for our group and gave everyone more privacy. Each room has its own bathroom which made it so nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

We thank you for your sparkling review! Thank you for being our guest.
This property was perfect for myself, my husband and several of our friends. The bedrooms were mostly separated into their own units with at least one bathroom and a kitchenette which was a fantastic set up for us. Beach was only a short golf cart ride away and the main kitchen/house had everything we needed to gather as a group for mealtimes and evening times. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to leave this sparkling review! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Hakuna Matata!!!
The property was wonderful for everyone having their own space but still having a large area for everyone to gather. We loved the pool. It was perfect for small children with a shallow end that they can stand up in and steps on both end and in the middle. We loved all the areas that the family could gather outside and the large living area inside. We will definitely book the house again.

Thank you for your review. We are always looking to improve and value your experience with this home. We hope you would be able to visit again and give a more detailed description of what we could work on.
The house was great, I was surprised cause we all had separate little houses but functioned good. The pool was awesome to have. The only thing was no beach toys and if they were in the garage there were no instructions or keys to access them. Overall great stay and location.

We are so happy this home worked for you so well! We hope you have found forever home away from home! I am sorry, beach items are not provided.
The separate living areas were very nice. We had teenagers up to 70 y/o so the different areas were very convenient. Close to beach and a nice walk. Property management addressed our concerns quickly. The living room furniture was soiled and some of the beds were either broken or uncomfortable. The property could definitely use a thorough cleaning.

Beautiful home! We were so comfortable during our stay. We had a couple of rain days so being comfortable was important! The living/kitchen/dining room was spacious and comfortable. There isn’t direct access to the beach, but we were really close via car and/or golf cart.
The kitchen was nicely stocked. We cooked several times during our stay and we had everything we needed (even for a large shrimp boil).
We enjoyed our stay!

The house worked out well for us with the separate areas as well as a large enough area to gather together. Our family ranged from age 4 to 68. The kids loved the pool it was just right for them. We enjoyed our stay at Hakuna Matata and plan to come back again. House was as described and check in and check out was easy and efficient.

If you are in need of a house with four separate living quarters this is the perfect place. We had 7 individuals and 2 dogs. The 2 dogs needed to be kept separated but the house layout allowed the whole family still socialize in the common living room. The manager was responsive to our needs. 5 of the 7 of us are over 70 years and the elevator proved to be helpful for luggage. We will definitely keep this house on our favorites list.

Thank you for 5 star review! We are so please the home worked so well for your group. Please let us know when you are ready to plan your next escape! -Port A Escapes
Perfect house for a multiple couples and a couple with kids. 4 different units with a main house for everyone to be together. Beds were comfortable and amenities were good. Kitchen needs to be reorganized but that might just be my OCD! There’s an elevator to bring all your things up and down the stairs. We only used it for our initial arrival and departure and was thankful for it. Location is good and neighborhood was quiet. Will stay at this location again.
