We had a great time and loved our little place! Had everything we needed and was close to local spots. At night weather was cooler so we were able to hang out on patio.
This is the perfect property within walkable distance to the shops, beach and dinner spots in Port A. Will def be back to enjoy a quaint and quiet little weekend away.
Great property: perfect location, cozy, very well maintained, has all the necessary items in the kitchen, comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
We stayed 4 nights to celebrate our Anniversary. It was perfect! The location, the house, every little detail about this place was so cute and very cozy! It's great for 2 people. The AC was amazing! We will definitely be back! Already planning our next trip down!
Wonderful, quiet, comfortable bed, hot shower, clean linens. Responsive, had everything we could possibly need. Only 1 mile to the beach and within walking distance to shops and eats
Very nice cottage in a prime location right off the street that goes to the beach 2 min drive or walk to beach in 8 mins. Golf cart rentals food restaurants all within 3-5 mins.
Perfect little place to stay with my husband for my Birthday week. The best location for all our favorite places on the island. Will definitely be back!
This was the cutest little condo. Well located, super clean and stocked. Decorated simple and cute for the size the floorplan is well laid out. Will definitely stay again.

Cottage was perfect! Enjoyed our stay!
Everything was perfect from beginning to check out! A beautiful little place for me to stay for a couple of days. Only a few blocks straight to the beach, a small grocery store and night life!
I really liked the cottage, very clean and cozy. The only compaint i have is there were no extra towels. Now that I know, I'll bring extras next time.

Had a great trip, love Port A - nice little cabin, no issues.
As soon as we walked into this adorable cottage, we fell in love. It is small, but it's not at all claustrophobic. Everything is smartly arranged to maximize space and decorated with the the cutest beach themed furnishings. We will be back!!!
stprecious beach debit.
It was a great little stay, loved the location, etc. We were only told of 1 parking spot during our check in text. The bathroom is cute, but definitely not spa-like. The bed is a storage for winter window storm boards.
Cabin was clean and comfortable. Convenient location, easy check in and out. This is a group of 6-7 cabins together, parking is tight and limited. A couple of the neighbors were apparently long term or permanent residents and could have been friendlier. To be fair, short term renters are at times noisy and rude, so I get it. My wife and I were low key and quiet so it didn’t really bother us. I would definitely stay here again and simply ignore grouchy neighbors.
Very charming place; checking in and out was straightforward and flawless. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need if you choose to stay in and cook a meal. Easy access to the beach makes this place highly recommended for anyone looking to stay at Port A.
