Trip from NE

We really enjoyed the condominium/townhouse. Place was clean and close to to the beach. We didn't have an issue with the disposal, which backed up our kitchen sink the final day. We did not call maintenance because we were leaving in the morning. Overall, great stay, nice accommodations.

Great location, great unit!

This was our 2nd time to stay at Island Retreat. Location is great, whether you want to walk the boardwalk to the beach or drive your beach cart to a beach entrance. This 3/2 unit was nice & clean. Plenty of room for the 3 of us ladies in our 60's. We were comfortable & had everything we needed. This was our 4th trip to Port A & we experienced 3 firsts on this trip...sand fleas on the beach, mosquitoes, & coyotes! Never seen a coyote in Port A before, but saw 12 in one day! And they do walk thru the grassy area on the beach side of the building, as well as near & on the boardwalk, so be careful at night. I even saw one of the larger wolf/coyote hybrids, walking about 15 ft from me as I stood at our patio railing. Also saw a pair of coyotes in the street/parking area as we backed out one evening. But overall I recommend this unit & we would stay again!

Good location but not well kept.

Short walk to the beach and easy to get to. While we did have good communication with the property manager, the place it self was not clean. The tubs looked like they were just simply sprayed down and not actually cleaned. The toilet seat had dried pee on it and my BIL said he woke up with a roach crawling on his head. I emailed them to let them know the door knob was very loose in one of the bathrooms b/c I didn’t want them to think we broke it. They responded very quickly and said someone would come out to fix it but no one ever came. We’ve stayed in another unit at this same place that was much better kept and cleaned!

Fun long weekend that ended too soon

Pros: Property clean and inviting with plenty of l seating for a large group Plenty of pots/pans for cooking Lots of beds so everyone could spread out Outdoor amenities had been updated since we last stayed at IR and the nearest boardwalk was redone A/C was cold and worked great! Cons: The kitchen/dining area is super dark making it hard to see to cook. Silverware was sparse - only a few forks/small spoons so we had to wash constantly. IR is the only place we've stayed in PortA over the past 15 years that has a huge mosquito problem. They are everywhere around the building and outdoor areas.

Great Thanksgiving weekend

We loved being by the water and the nice, long walks on the beach. Beds were comfy, kitchen, well appointed, but the carpeting is tremendously old and needs a major facelift. It’s quite dated overall.

Girls trip 2023

There’s more pots, pans, bakeware, utensils, and small appliances than my house !! Plenty of nice big towels and soaps etc. TV in every room ! Lots of pillows. Didn’t take forever to get hot water in the shower/kitchen like some places we’ve been to. Near the boardwalk to the beach. Literally across from the pool which was very nice. While you can’t see the water from the back porch patio, there’s a nice green area between the patio fence and the dunes so is very relaxing to sit outside, listen to the water and still feel “beachy.” Beach gear delivered in condo. Chairs and umbrellas sturdy and not flimsy for being “free” with our beach gear credit. Definitely will come back next year with my daughter and her four kids. Will have plenty of room for all. 😎🏖️

Great weekend place!

This was a great condo for our family's weekend trip to the coast! The condo was neat and definitely smelled clean! Plenty of towels and pillows! Only concern was that the fridge was full of the previous guest's left over groceries so we did have to empty it and dump garbage our 1st night there. The beach was a 2 minute walk over a private boardwalk (closer than i expected! ) and the beach was not too crowded. There was no coffee maker but thankfully housekeeping responded with a greatly appreciated pot for us for us for the next day! We would definitely stay again!
