A great time! A little confusion on the check-in time… it’s more of an estimate than an exact time. But it was resolved quickly and we enjoyed our stay.

Great house! The open kitchen and dining area were perfect for gathering, and there was plenty of space for our large family to sleep comfortably. Having a pool was a huge bonus—we could enjoy the beach until the adults were ready for some shade, then let the little ones swim while we relaxed nearby. I do wish we had opted to heat the pool, since it got a little chilly later in the day when the sun wasn’t out. We were also glad we didn’t rent a golf cart—the walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the boardwalk took us through a beautiful sea of sunflowers. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay again. Thanks, Marlin Madness!

Great location

The house was as expected, lots of room for our group. The porches and pool area were great. We loved how close we were to the beach, just a short walk over the boardwalk. The rental company was very quick to respond to any questions and came right away when the heat went out. Thanks for a fun week!

Location is great. Really enjoyed the pool. Close to the beach. Kitchen needed 9 x 13 dishes. Numerous paint chips throughout the house. Stains on dining room chairs. Metal bed frame taped. Washer dirty. Under kitchen sinks dirty. Tears on leather sofa and chairs. Lots of bird droppings near door entrance

Best Stay in Port A

This place is beautiful. The heated pool and hot tub are the perfect mix of covered and sun. You are just a short walk from the beach and a short commute to town. We will definitely be renting this place again.

Nice home but swimming pool water was HOT

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The issue was with the water temperature of the pool. The heater wasn't turned off so the water temp of the pool was 104 degrees. Maintenance came to shut the heater but the water didn't get below 90 degrees. For as much as we had to pay for the rental I feel that this shouldn't of happened. I felt the water temp of two houses down and the water was cool and refreshing. We wanted a private pool but never anticipated the water temp to be this warm.

Great Girls Trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful house! Everything was clean and spotless! You could see the water from the upstairs deck. It took only a few minutes to walk to the beach. Loved the dining table that fit all 9 of us! Even though the other houses were very close, everyone was very respectful. It was also very close to places we ventured out to like Virginias on the Bay, Port A Beer Hut, and The Candy Shop.

House was very spacious, we enjoyed our stay. My only complaint would be that the water in the hot tub and pool located on the back porch of the house was not very clean, could use a cleaning treatment.

Wonderful!

Our directions were under the wrong place.. 969 instead of 909. The place was wonderful. It would be nice to have beach chair/ towels/wagon etc. also suggest a full length mirror somewhere. Three sisters and 2 nieces had a wonderful time… thank you!!! We’d love to come back someday Ohio, Michigan and Indiana
