Walking distance to the beach but nestled in the dunes, so not seeing/hearing the car traffic.
Great stay, very responsive host.

We had a great time staying here, the house was really clean, spacious, and well equipped. It was really nice being able to walk to the beach so the location was excellent, the street is quiet at night. I would highly recommend staying here, the owner was also very kind and responsive.

My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this property for my 30th birthday. The owner was so sweet and was responsive to all of our questions. Doggie station was only a few steps away so taking my dog out to potty was really easy. Getting to the beach was SUCH an easy lil walk across the boardwalk. It had all the comforts of home and the grocery store is only a quick drive down the street to stock up on whatever you need.
I truly hope we can return to this property again because it was such a wonderful trip!

We enjoyed the property very much! Close to the beach, kitchen worked well for us and the beds were comfortable.

Beach is walkable but if you have heavier items might be worth it to have someone drop them off at the beach as the path is narrow.
House was recently remodeled and is beautiful. Having the outdoor patio area was so nice! We found the rooms spacious and bathrooms convenient for all.
Host was slvery accommodating and gave us some great tips on where to spot dolphins and were to eat, all were great!!!
Of note, if I'm not mistaken the listing says beach towels are provided but they are, so you can leave those at home.
Over great place and we will stay again.

Staying in this fantastic house keeps getting better with recent updates making it feel more open and airy!
I have stayed here several times when my family comes in from Denver. Adults and kids alike love the comfort and the location that allows us to walk to the beach. There are even beach toys and boogie boards for all to use!
I will from now on schedule our beach trips according the availability of this place. The owner was super responsive to any questions that arose during our stay and had great recommendations for fun things to entertain all of us.
Thank you Brian!!

Very clean, host was very responsive, included golf cart, which we really didn’t need due to being so close to the beach. The kids liked walking to the beach using the boatdwalk. Highly recommend.

Great property, tons of small amenities like beach towels and chairs and plenty of cookware that made our stay easy! It’s a super quick drive to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable - the front bedrooms are set up well for kids. Overall the only thing missing was a grassy space for the kids, but with the beach so close it wasn’t a big issue. We stayed with two families - 4 adults and 3 young kids and had plenty of space. Would book again!

Enjoyed our stay at this home. Recent remodel provides very nice flooring and updated bathrooms. Home was clean with comfortable beds, extra pillows and extra blankets. We brought extra paper towels, tubs of foods, and beach towels. There is a sprayer outside entryway to wash sand off and rack provided to hang towels. You will be a boardwalk away from beach so no need to drive the van to beach with a ton of sandy kids!

This beautiful beach getaway has all the comforts of home. The house has many updates which made us say “wow” when we first walked into it. I love we were provided with all the cooking essentials and the beds were so comfortable. A huge bonus was having the golf cart available to go to the beach or nearby places. It’s a short walk to the beach too using the boardwalk. The owners are amazing people. Our questions were always promptly answered and they stayed in touch to make sure we got checked in ok and were available if any assistance was needed.

We just had a fun weekend trip with our daughter, granddaughter and dog. Brian’s place was exactly as described, and we are adding to the positive reviews! Everything was clean and we appreciated the extra touches like shampoo and soap. Kitchen is well stocked for any cooking. Best of all, the beach is right down the boardwalk, just around the corner! Neighbors were friendly and quiet. Would highly recommend!

Had a wonderful stay at this property, amenities were great and was just a short walk to the beach! Kitchen was well stocked and had great decor. We’ve stayed in Port A a number of times and there are a number of things that really sets this place apart from others: access to golf cart (it’s expensive to rent one on your own), short walk to beach, outdoor enclosed shower, beach towels/chairs/boogie boards for use, and pet-friendly! I can’t stress enough how nice the golf cart was to use to haul stuff to the beach or to get around town. The communication with the owner was excellent as well! Will definitely stay here in the future.

Great location to down town and the beach and you can see the water from the deck that was awesome. This is a great property to stay everything was clean and immaculate, the owner also provided things that most VRBO’S don’t all you need is swim suit, toothbrush, food and drinks everything else was there and provided. There were plenty of beach toys for the kids big and small beach towels. All the neighbors are very friendly and helpful to let you know things to do in Port A. The owner went above and beyond my family’s expectations when the golf cart provided broke down and with in an hour he found and purchased another one. Brian was the best host VRBO iv’e stayed at and definitely will be for my family in the future. Thanks The Kemps

We enjoyed our stay from sunrise to sunset. We had the comfort of a home experience with the full fun and leisure of an amazing vacation. We had the convenience to load up the golf cart with all of our gear for the beach or run into town, but we also had the easy access of the boardwalk to walk back and forth as often as we wanted.

Perfect Getaway
We had an amazing stay at this property. The check-in process was simple and the home included everything we could possibly need. It's just a short walk to the beach and the golf cart was perfect for rides on the beach and quick trips to down. Brian, the owner, was very responsive, as well.
