Lovely little getaway - lack of parking
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.

Cute little cottage
The place is small but has practically everything we needed, except a Keurig machine. We also would have preferred either a shorter entry code or a key for the door. Also, a better quality toilet paper would be much appreciated.

Cute little bungalow. Some kitchenware, but not much. Tiny bathroom with no space for even a toothbrush. Still, cute and fine for two people. Recommend driving to the beach from property.

This was our first time visiting Port A! We loved our little bungalow! It was perfect for the 2 of us. The location was perfect! Only 2 or 3 blocks away from our favorite spot on the beach, fishing pier and restaurants! Everyone was very friendly and we can’t wait to come back!!

Cute cottage
The cottage is very cute, has everything you need. Great location and close to beach. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating is due to the bed. The bed DESPERATELY needs a new mattress. It’s extremely lumpy and very squeaky.

The property was SPOTLESS and the travel bath products and dish soap were an added luxury. We were able to walk easily to the beach with our beach wagon - 1/2 mile. Will stay here again.
