Cute and Cozy!
We are regulars to Port A and normally stay at another location - this was our first time trying something new. We definitely did not regret it. The owners were kind and responsive to our questions. We will book again!

Great Port A Getaway
We had a great experience here. The property is private and secluded with a big fence so our little puppies could run around and the house is nice with everything we need. The property management is super helpful and friendly and I think we have found our go-to Port A getaway.

Super Cute, Clean, Beachy Fun Pad!
Absolutely adored this little place. It was decorated very beachy which I love. It is very unique and extremely clean. The back yard was a little relaxing shaded oasis. I will definitely stay here again. Location was perfect, we rented a golf cart so it was a matter of a minute to get to beach, restaurants, bars, grocery. I would assume walking to any of these would probably be about a 10-15min walk or less. The owner Tish was awesome! Very responsive to my text. It is down a little grassy alley so we were a little confused on finding it at first, even though Tish gave us exact directions lol but we found it! So glad to have found this little place for our future Port A stays. Also, on a side note. Our stay was Nov 7-9th and the water was clear and beaches clean and beautiful I've only been to Port A in the summer and typically lots of seaweed, water is pretty brown but WOW, absoutely amazing ocean water and beach in Nov. Thank you again Tish for a great stay! Jess
