Great stay!
The location was perfect for our extended weekend getaway. Everything we needed was walking distance and the drive to the beach was short. I would recommended this place to others for their Port A getaway!

This area is pet friendly which is the reason we stayed here again. However, that comes with some limitations as these need upgrades to ensure your stay is as advertised. Our floor had enough sand to fill the dustpan, lighting in the kitchen was not working so cooking in a cave, toaster not working. 2 calls to get assistance, no remedy for lighting. Instruction book does not apply to this location, information for tv, wifi was actually on the fridge. But it is pet friendly.

You’re only paying for the location
Very disappointed with this property. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a very busy season, but our unit was dirty. I understand everyone is human and things can’t be spotless, but my husband and I had to go out and get cleaning supplies to make it feel comfortable. Over the few days we decided to stay there (we left on our third day) we found dead roaches, old meat in the oven with maggots in it, cigarette butts by the back door, and bags of dog poop by the front door. When we decided to reach out to management the morning after we left, we were only scolded by not calling them and telling them as soon as we found things (which was not all at once, so we didn’t want to inconvenience our honeymoon by calling management each time). The yard was a major selling point for us and the location is prime. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops for the few days we stayed. We won’t be staying here again.

Tiny home
This is a 1 room 30 x15 cinder block building originally built around 1948. The only interior door goes to the micro bathroom. It has been updated and is decorated nicely but does not function well for a vaca cabin. I give it 3 stars for the location, bed ,& yard ( our dog loved this place). I have a list of thing I didn't like but will only mention the most annoying. There is no usable flat surface to place anything what space there is is used up with extra cabin bedding or decorations. No place for your bags but on the floor & 1 small hallway shelf.The decorations are cute but frankly just in the way and nonfunctional in such a small place. Second there is no comfortable place to set or eat. The kitchen is poorly equipped you will need to pack like you are camping including usable sized pots, microwave safe bowels, salt & pepper,and towels(1 supplyed).Everything we used had to be washed before using, no dishwasher so you have to depend on previous renter to wash everything properly. The covered patio is a pergola you can't use it in the rain & the furniture & grill are in poor condition. Parking is only 15 ft long , you will need to park in the street unless you drive an extremely small car. We witnessed parked golf cart getting hit by someone trying to get through the narrow street. We had a rainy week and had to spend a lot more time here than originally planned. This property quickly became very confining and didn't work well for us on this trip.

We loved the cottage. The location is great. We walked to the beach in no time. Air conditioning worked great. We brought our dog and the fenced in property was perfect. The only negative was the faucet in the bathroom. There was no water pressure. We would stay again!
