Back to school beach trip
The property accommodates a large group; however the property needs a thorough cleaning/disinfecting and some pest control for water bugs. The mold smell in the downstairs part of the home was unbearable.

Great location, perfect for my family!
Our stay was perfect for my family, especially for our toddlers. The place had everything we needed. While the grills weren't the best, the house's location was ideal for eating out, being super close to restaurants and convenience stores, and not too far from the beach. We visited during the predicted arrival of Hurricane Beryl, but the owner stayed in communication the whole time and promptly fixed any issues that occurred. Highly recommended!

Great location
The location is great, pool a plus. The downstairs area has a constant moldy smell which is overwhelming. The floors need a deep clean everywhere. The outside trash bins completely full on our arrival so we had to take daily trash to dumpsters at beach.

Beach Getaway
This location is ideal for quick access to the ferry, state highway 361, and the beach! However, right when you walk into the property (no matter the level) there is an overwhelming mildew smell. We assumed the property had some water damage due to past storms. The property also offered limited supplies (one big trash bag for the top level and three for downstairs). Next time we visit we will make sure to bring our own trash bags. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will visit again!

Nice stay bad yard
The yard was full of weeds with little balls with thorns on them that got all over your feet and you would take them into the house and they would hurt like hell when you stepped on them. So stay out of the yard and the edge of the pool area

Weekend stay
The stay was great. Location is an easy walk to beach and easy to local stores. Only dislike was the alarm system on back door. Understand why is because of safety for the pool. Still seems there would be a better way as it was extremely annoying. Pleanty of parking and great layout.

Ok stay
The location is good but it is on one of the busier roads in Port A . Property manager very concerned with carts parked anywhere near the “grass” well there’s not really any grass but a lot of weeds and dry stickers that get tracked in on everyone’s shoes. Not ideal for the beach Vacay. House is a good size but 2 of the beds were covered in pet hair and string dog smell and we had buy detergent to wash the comforter and sheets when we arrived. This was more than just a little left over pet hair in a pet friendly rental that would be ok and expected. Supplies are a little sparse for a rental that houses 14 Management did call about cart wheel on the dirt and that was fine but didn’t really express any concern with the cleaning issues. This didn’t ruin our stay but we probably wouldn’t rent again and we come every year with a large group. The downstairs has a very musty smell. This property has great potential if someone gave it some TLC. This review isn’t meant to deter people from renting so I am not sure this is where to send our issues. The link to contact anyone or the property via VRBO would never open or allow us to put any comments

Great house and pool
The property was just as described. Having the separate lower apartment was great for us and our older dog. The private pool was nice and a huge reason we chose this house. Lots of outdoor seating options. Quick drive to beach, restaurants, grocery store, etc. Just FYI. If you bring a dog, get them used to some kind of “shoes”. The stickers in the yard and most of the surrounding area are very bad.

Nice house but stickers ruined it!
The house was nice but we had issues. The lower level and top level smelled musty and when we got home we had to even wash our clean clothes to get the smell out. The master bath toilet leaked water out of the bottom. This was supposed to be a dog friendly home but don’t bring your dogs unless you want to spend the entire time pulling goat head stickers out of their feet constantly! There is nowhere for your dog to potty where there aren’t stickers! Will not rent this house again.
