About this property
DB 5 Overboard!-1 BR Cottage with Kitchenette, Near Beach, Dogs OK, Fenced Yard!
Welcome to the iconic Double Barr Cottages! Double Barr has been a favorite of Port A visitors for generations and is perfect for a quick beach getaway, a fishing trip, or family fun. Located just a couple of blocks from the beach in the "golf cart zone", you can walk, bike, or take a cart to the beach, fishing, or the many shops, restaurants, and other attractions downtown. The property has free parking, outdoor dining areas, and gas BBQ grills. An on-site laundry is available for a small fee.
Unit 5 (Overboard!) has been recently updated with a new layout, new furnishings, and a private fenced yard. When you enter, you'll find a kitchenette and a dining area that seats four. The main room has a retro vibe that will take you back to the Port A's historic past. This beachy cabin has a kitchen equipped with everything you need, including pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, microwave, toaster, a coffee station, and all of the kitchen basics. While we supply pots, pans, dishes and utensils, we do not supply any reusable basics such a oil, spices, or condiments for safety concerns. Towels for use in the house only, linens, and basic soaps are also provided.
Overboard! now has a separate living area with a sleeper sofa, a coffee table, and additional seating to give you a place to relax and catch a movie after a day at the beach. Whether you're in town for a weekend or several weeks, the living room gives you a comfortable space to catch a movie, play a game, or read. A smart television and wireless internet are provided.
The bedroom is next to the living area and sleeps four guests. It has a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. Next to the bedroom is the full bath with walk-in shower. Towels, linens, and basic soaps are provided.
Outside, you'll find a fenced yard with a picnic table that's perfect for relaxing or spending time with your four-legged friend.
There is parking for two vehicles next to the cottage. There is overflow parking available for oversize vehicles, boat trailers, or extra vehicles. Please inquire about availability of additional parking.
The cottage has window air-conditioning units and gas heat. Guests can use the outdoor picnic areas and gas BBQ grills. The guest laundry with 2 sets of washer/dryers is available for an additional fee.
Double Barr Cottages is dog-friendly subject to weight and breed limitations. We welcome well-behaved, adult dogs and ask that you clean up after them outside and kennel them if left alone in the cabin for an extended period. There is a pet cleaning fee of $50 per pet per stay. If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know the weight and breed so we can pre-approve their stay with you.

This property is cute and quaint and gives you the island vibe. The best thing about it is the location. It is across the street from entertainment and restaurants and a short walk to the beach. It's perfect for teenagers as they can walk around and see and do without you having to drive anywhere. I will book again.
Easy stay…the only issue was the window units were very loud at night.

so , I was a perfect guest old man, clean and did all dishes and picked up yet?
so this is more about watching out for the hosts and that no matter what you do people complain.... I myself followed house rules? yet got rated bad I had communication, perfect but they didnt ... was kept and left so clean it was cleaner than when came, my communication was excellent trying to get in, even with broken locks. , other guests pets trespassing into my unit pooping and leaving IN MY YARD? and I even picked up, tv didnt work during rain, so bored, chairs and towels and even toilet paper and shower curtain and beds lol are flimsy for second graders spend pointy guys. why would you knock an old man that was an a plus guest and a quiet guest?
