The house was cute and had a small pool. The location was close to the beach and easy to find food places. The only draw back was that one of the hand railing was loose and I was afraid the children or my handicap sister-in-law would fall down. The pool was not very clean. I called the rental office about the pool. They said they would sent someone out but the pool cleaners never came.

The good... The size and layout of the house was great for our group. Three sets of adults, plus all five kids in the bunk room, with each room having their own bathroom was great. Interior was clean with a "beachy" theme. Per previous reviews, we brought our own extra bowls, kitchen utensils, etc, which was definitely needed. Otherwise, house was stocked as described. Ample parking and great location. The bad... The pool is much smaller than it appears in the photos. As one review mentioned, there is no shade anywhere, except under the small porch. There is a house being built directly behind this home, so while we were there, it was loud and uncomfortable with construction workers looking down on our teenage daughter while at the pool. The pool was extremely dirty. Sand and cardboard all over the bottom and our children found the skimmer full of beer cans. The entire outdoor area seems to be an afterthought. The yard (both front and back) was full of fire ant mounds, which two of our children stepped in and received several ant bites. The door handle to the upstairs front porch was very difficult to open and close, leaving people outside stuck, until someone inside could open it. And lastly, the downstairs king bed was extremely uncomfortable and very creaky with every move. We visit Port A several times each summer and have so for many years. Our group consensus was we probably would not stay here again, unless some updates were made to the outdoor space. For the price, I would expect a bit more attention to detail.

The inside of the property is cute and clean. It would be nice to have a reasonably sized set of pots and pans and some better organization to the kitchen. Dish washer needs to be de-scaled. Perfect size for our group(9 people) you could comfortably fit a free more. Outside did not have as much seating or shade as shown in pictures. Only share was from narrow back porch and a small cover over the pool, BBQ is rusted out, but did have new grated on it. Having a light over the grill area would be helpful for night grilling. Pool was clean and cold. Back yard could use some work. There were A LOT of mosquitoes(inside also), ants, and stickers. There’s no sir t access to the beach. You have to drive to an access road. Overall, not a bad place, just a few small upgrades would be nice.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: do not stay here it was horrilbe nasty and no one from their office will call you when requested!

My only criticism of this property was that they listed the wrong password for the Wi-Fi so we spent our first day there without internet, we found out on the last day as we were leaving that the pool is heated but there was no instructions on how to actually heat the pool, and there's a pretty decent lack of kitchen equipment. was going to make a pot of mac and cheese for the kids but there was not a regular sock pot, so we had to use this giant monster pot that was made for like boiling lobsters. Don't get me wrong, we love this house and there's a good chance we will probably use it next year. But we will definitely confirm the Wi-Fi information beforehand, and make sure we know how to heat the pool, and bring a few of our own pots and pans.
