We did have to drive in to shop and eat, but that’s OK. The walk to the beach was really close, which was nice. The air conditioner is set on 73; that’s OK. I would’ve liked it a little colder but I understand. Other than that, the house was great, the property management was great. No complaints.

Great family vacation. So far best house we have stayed at in all the years we traveled to at Port A Only set back was issues with beach location and golf carts getting stuck and getting to the area where golf carts are only allowed.

Perfect vacation…. Awesome home!

This home is beautiful and fully stocked, comfortable beds, loads of kitchen supplies and right next door to the community pool. We rented a couple golf carts to run around in and so happy this community has access for them from the beach. We loved all the different sleeping areas and especially how clean the home was!
