Amazing Vacation
The house was beautiful. Very spacious! Kitchen was furnished nicely. Table tennis was fun for everyone. Beach was not that far away-even for us old people! Beach was clean and pretty.

Pretty in Pink
We had a great stay at Cute As Shell! The house was very clean and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. There's even a Murphy Bed! The kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials we needed to make a few meals with ample place settings.

And the location is perfect! It's a 5 minute walk to the beach so you can enjoy the water & waves but pop back home for lunch without attracting a million seagulls.

It has all you need and more!!!
We had the best time in Port A and the house was amazing. We had two families and everyone had their own space and own bathroom! All the essentials are there for cooking and relaxing. This is a great home with lots of comfort. Could not have asked for a better getaway. From pingpong, to relaxing on the porch with a fantastic sea breeze. It was an easy walk to the pool and beach as well. The best part is if you are trying to get a way from the crowds this is the place to do it. It is far away enough from town that makes for the perfect spot on the beach!

60th birthday trip!
The house was perfect! Clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for us! We loved being so close to the beach. We dis not use the neighborhood pool as it was pretty dirty and full of sand.

When we arrived there was only one of the two queen beds that was advertised. We had issues with the front door not opening. The management team a great job and fixed the issues. We were the first renters so they were learning some things as well.
