Blue Crush is a great property. Great location, lower traffic and more chill than in town. We’ve stayed there twice and loved it!

Wonderful time..loved the property! There were 7 of us ages 71 to 6 years old. Property had perfect space for us all. Loved the kitchen table..plenty of seating. The house is very bright and great natural lite. We loved both outdoor decks and everyone loved the porch swing. Will definitely stay here next time we come to Port A. Also property management was wonderful to work with! 😊

We're so glad to hear you and your group had a wonderful time, Patty! It sounds like the space worked out perfectly for everyone. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the kitchen table, natural light, and outdoor areas—sounds like the porch swing was a hit! It was a pleasure having you, and we’d love to host you again next time you’re in Port A. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Nice house but not very clean. The AC filter was black and collapsed inside the vent due to a lack of maintenance. The AC vent had to be removed and power washed. Black stains were on the downstairs bathroom ceiling.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jay. We’re sorry to hear about the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered during your stay. Your comments have been shared with our team so these matters can be addressed promptly.
This house truly has it all. It is a perfect space for young adults to enjoy. The bunk room is functional and spacious and the second living space upstairs next to the primary bedroom really serves a great purpose. The kitchen is fully stocked with large bowls and platters. The dining table is nice and big to seat everyone. It truly is a great space. The only negative was the construction on the houses across the street. They were working hard quite early and the noise lasted all day long.

Thank you! Glad you had a great stay at Blue Crush! Come back to see us again soon!
The house is absolutely beautiful and more than enough room for our family vacation! The kitchen table and kitchen were the best parts! Of course there is pros and cons. Cons were the couches were torn, but I emailed them pictures just to let them know they were like that when we got there. Some of the vents were moldy, all the TV’s except the living room one would not connect to the internet, and lots of mosquitoes downstairs. All in all we had the best time and the house was amazing, any questions we had they were very quick to respond. The house is very close to everything.

Disappointing
It was not clean. Sheets had marks on them, floors were sandy and dirty, the property needs a thorough cleaning and repairs. The doors were hard to close and the handle didn't work. Outside, we had to pick up 3 large bags of dog poo because apparently no one picks up after their dog and the property doesn't check. It was disgusting. The property is one block from the sewer treatment plant so smell was an issue. The pictures do not portray the shape the property is in. I was embarrassed I took my family there because I expected , at a minimum, for it to be clean.

Thank you for your feedback, Kristy. We are truly sorry for the cleanliness concerns and other issues you encountered during your stay. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when hosting your family. Cleanliness issues have since been addressed, and we have discussed your feedback in detail with our housekeeping team to ensure this does not happen again. A partial refund was also provided for the inconvenience, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Large rooms for our family of 7 and our little chihuahua Bella to choose from. Offered amenities in the kitchen if your wanting to cook at home and extra bath linens. Nice decor throughout the house. Would definitely stay again.

The house was very clean when we arrived.The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you need. The house was very cool when we arrived (which was great since it has been so hot!). The owners sent all the information we needed a day ahead of time and followed up to make sure we received it. They even sent suggestions for restaurants and different things to do in the area.

Everything was great! Very clean and plenty of space for everyone. My only complaint was one of the upstairs bedroom bathrooms can lock you in. We had it happen twice to us while staying. My husband had to get the door open with a library card. He said it's an easy fix tho.

Thank you for the 5-star review Cody! I am so sorry about the bathroom lock. I will make sure maintenance addresses that before the next guest arrives. We hope to host you again in the future!
This property was very nicely decorated and had plenty of rooms for 8 adults and 3 kids. The property manager was very communicative and helpful. Upon arrival there was a staircase trim board loose. They offered to fix it but it was no big issue so we moved on. I would rate the property higher but for the price we paid I expected a better kept property. During our stay we had yellow stained sheets on several beds. The bottom bathroom door was tough to shut and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling by the vents. The kitchen pantry door was coming loose from its roller hangers and the kitchen faucet was damaged. All the hand sinks including the kitchen sink had very low water pressure. The showers had excellent pressure. The most concerning issue was there was a leak coming from the bottom of house under the porch. It kept a constant puddle of water on the driveway that was very slippery. This was separate from the AC condensate drain that drips down from the exterior soffit which is normal. We assume there is a drain line leak or water line leak in the house. There was a squeegee available downstairs so the issue must have been present for a while. Overall we enjoyed our stay outside of those issues. The AC was cold, showers were hot and overall the property was nice. With charging this much for a rental property the maintenance and cleanliness should be up to par.

Jacob, thank you so much for bringing these issues to our attention. We walked the property with the owner after your review and are in the processing of getting a few things resolved. We checked the water pressure and all was very good there so I'm not sure if you had other showers, dishwasher and clothes washer going at the same time possibly? We checked several and everything was great. The trim board was already repaired by the time we arrived. The AC had its spring service but we too just saw the AC line dripping outside so we can get that resolved quickly. The pantry right door was a littel lower and looked like the roller was bent; it is put back but we will monitor and if we need to replace the door, we will be happy to do that. We open and closed the bathroom door many times and it didn't seem to stick but we will slightly adjust it just in case it decides to try to stick again. Stained sheets are completely unacceptable and we will be happy to always arrive within 24 hours of your check in quickly to address any issues that may have been missed. We take guest satisfaction very serious and we are happy to come over immediately to address. We hope you will give us another chance for you to experience it! Again, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We are jumping on it so that we can continue to always strive for 5 star perfection!
Everything, from the location, to the comfort to the little details in the home we're perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much! Definitely will be coming back.

Chritinia, Thank you for noticing our cleaning standards. We like hearing that Isla View was the perfect place for a family getaway. Hope you visit again.
We have stayed at many rental properties, and this one topped them all! Such a seamless process from reservation to checkout.
Everything was spotless, and the property was exactly as described. The decor was beautiful and beachy, and we really enjoyed just walking through the house and taking it all in!
Plenty of room for our family of 8 adults, with a bedroom to spare.
Communication with the hosts was fabulous. We didn’t have to ask a single question because all information was provided and laid out so well.
We will DEFINITELY be back, and highly recommend this rental property!
