Nice condo

Condo is in great location, close to everything, complex is old but it’s well kept. The pool is nice. The unit is clean, well kept and great for 2 people, 4 would be a bit crowded. Only downside is no washer/dryer in the unit. Very enjoyable stay and we’ll be back.

This way to the Beach!

This was the perfect size room for two people. The kitchen was small, but we didn't use it for anything but the refrigerator. The main attraction to this place is definitely the living/bedroom/balcony. It was well appointed with the typical seascape island decor, but it was very cute and well done. Thank you for the very nice place stay. Hopefully, we'll rent it again some day.

Liked: Amenities, communication
This place has a lot of positive things to offer: great location with a view of the ocean, well insulated to dampen noises from other rooms, a nice balcony to enjoy the sunrise and nature. The beds and furniture are ok. The swimming pool (one of them) is great, and close by. We swam after dark in total comfort and safety. On the other hand, the room is somewhat rundown. The kitchen, if utilitarian, is very old. And as a warning, I ended up with blisters on my fingers after heating my full coffee mug for 60 seconds. The cup is NOT microwave-friendly. The coffee was lukewarm, and the cup burned me. The bathroom doesn't even have a an exhaust vent... I didn't like the bathroom. Nothing terribly wrong with it, it's just a general sensation. The place wasn't super clean either. We found candy wrappers in one of the kitchen drawers, and what we imagine was the dish scrub brush looked so unclean we decided not to touch it. To be clear, the communication with Life in Paradise via text and email was unequivocally satisfactory. They responded to my questions and doubts promptly and courteously, and were very helpful. All in all, our stay was a happy one. It's not too far to the town center. If they could spruce up the place a bit and bring it up to date, it would be ideal!

We enjoyed our quick weekend trip to Port A. This property is very comfortable, had everything we needed, and close to restaurants and shopping. We loved the boardwalk to the beach just outside the unit, and the view from the balcony was beautiful.

A perfectly relaxing beach stay!

We went in the off season during the week. So it seemed quiet and away from the north side of the town. The space met all of our functional needs. I like the pool on the property, too. Most importantly, it was a short walk (about 100 yards) to the beach.

Great time. Great place.

Great location in town. Close to everything. Super easy beach access. It could use a few updates like more counter space in bathroom and a ventilation fan to help with foggy mirrors but overall a nice, comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed it and our little one loves the beach. A win win.
