Nice beach home. Exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.
Down by the sea was a fun house to spend a few nights for our kids fall break. It was close to restaurants and a short drive to the ocean. The pool was well kept. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

I loved the private pool, the outdoor sink and grill. The only thing I’ll nit pick about is the bathroom toilet, it worked fine, the lid just didn’t close right and almost fell off. That’s the only thing. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Great Island Stay!
The house was exactly as described! My kids loved the pool. The house was comfortable and clean. The outdoor bathroom was a nice touch. There was a storm and the power went out and I was able to immediately contact the property management about this. The power went back on and I was I touch with the property management the whole time! Would stay again!

Nice home with private pool
This is our second time staying in this house. Home was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen items. Private pool is great after day at the beach. Some outdoor lighting including pool, stairs, and restroom were not functioning this time but we still enjoyed our time there.

I love that it’s Close to stores and the beachfront . I don’t like that they don’t have the pool heated and the pool lights. The rooms are aceptables, perfect for a family of 7 . Is a quiet area .

We really loved our stay. The house was very clean and the pool area was amazing. The beds are a little hard for my liking but everything else was perfect. Would stay here again.

Great space with pool
Enjoyed the weekend with two kids. Space was perfect for our family of four. Having private pool (although a little cold due to time of year) was still a great way to relax after the beach. Property stocked with towels and toiletries was a plus. Plenty of Bunk beds to choose from was fun for kids as well. Plenty of parking and close to most shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again. Thanks!

Our short stay
It was nice overall, things to consider if it’s not summer there is not an additional bathroom downstairs :/ i mean con on…… the BBQ has seen better days and needs some new parts or to be replaced. The kitchen living room is a lot bigger than the pictures give them credit. We would stay again.

Great house.
It is a shame that this house is managed by Vacasa. They do not honor veteran or military discounts. Altogether the house is lovely however, the customer service and nightly rates could have been much better.

Great stay
Overall we enjoyed the stay. There are some issues that need to be fixed as others have said in their reviews. Since they haven’t been fixed yet, I am not sure they will get fixed. The light in the bathroom downstairs does not work. The dryer is REALLY loud. If you plan on using the dryer don’t plan on watching tv or having a conversation while the dryer is running. The bar stools are wobbly. The front door doesn’t latch properly so you have to put some pressure on it to shut it. I did enjoy my stay but these are a few things that could be fixed to make this house so much better.

Wonderful home!
This home is just what we were looking for. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within a mile of town. Everything was perfect. Clean, spacious for a family with children, and an amazing pool with toys! We will be booking again spring 2024!

Great house for a family
The place is great for a family or a group of friends. We cooked a few meals, skateboarded to the beach and found the neighborhood to be quiet and very chill. The bar had plenty of seating with a nice size kitchen. Bathroom had a big tub for soak and an odd functioning sink. Downstairs shower wasn’t functional for us. Pool was great with outdoor kitchen area for bbq and hangs. Stairs are a bit dangerous so be careful. Over all super cute and would come back.

Great Time in Port A
House was perfect for the three of us and our small dog. Pool was nice to have, we used it every day. Everything is so close in Port A, just a few minutes to anywhere in a golf cart. One thing I did learn is that the island has a number of coyotes so be aware if you are bringing small dogs with you.
