Great rental

This house was VERY clean and we enjoyed our stay. The private pool was awesome because there were lots of jellyfish in the bay. Trip would’ve been a bust without the pool.

Clean, Smart Check-In, Attentive Property Manager

A mix of families and young and middle aged partygoers in this complex which was probably a mile from public beach access. Loved that my big dog could stay with us (although property listing incorrectly said only under 20 lb dogs but that was cleared up before we left). Great size and plenty of kitchen wares. Pick up groceries before you take the ferry across to Port A, so you can spend more time on sandcastles and relaxing at the pool.

Cherry on Top, There’s Money in the Banana Stand

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: Our family of 19 stayed at Cherry on Top and There’s Money in the Banana Stand for 4 nights in July. The ability to park under the house was a bonus that allowed us to congregate and grill in a shaded area. We spent about half of the day at the beach and the rest at the Cherry pool. The grandkids loved it! The dryer was out of service at Cherry but we shared the dryer at Banana Stand when needed. The AC worked great in both units, the beds were comfortable, check in and checkout was smooth. This was the best setup we have stayed in at PA so far and Port A Escapes provided great service.

Great for a fun filled family vacation!

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: People thought we were crazy because we were driving right towards a hurricane when many others were going further inland, but we had been planning this trip for almost a year so we were in it to win it! We looked like the Beverly Hill Billies with an suv and a truck full of 7 kids, five adults, 3 dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree. We were on the ferry when we got the call that there was to be a mandatory evacuation so we would have to cancel our stay and get a refund. We asked if we could at least stay one night since we came all that way and the evacuation order technically wasn’t until the next day, which they agreed. Cut to we finally get to the house and it is everything we had imagined it to be and more! The kids went straight for the pool as we unloaded. Ample rooms and sleep space with four bedrooms, 2 king and two bunk. The kids loved the party room which had two bunks and a sleeper sofa as well as an additional sleeper sofa for the living room. The kitchen was fully equipped with a keurig and a regular coffee pot plus all the other bells and whistles. One of the best parts was the shuffle board which was a huge hit among adults and kiddos alike. Downstairs we had our own private pool that backed up to the fishing pond, one of the main reasons why we picked this particular home. There is a half bath downstairs and a nice kitchenette with a cool little window for easy access. We used the charcoal grill pretty much every night and had basically everything we needed. With all that being said, of course we didn’t want to just stay one night and go home, so I had an idea. What if we went inland for the night to wait out the storm and come back for the rest of our trip, would that be ok? The property management said yes and even gave us an extra day! So that’s what we did and it was so worth it! Only negative was the dryer was out of order but we just hang dried out clothes and it was fine. Overall we would stay again! Great service and gr

Great stay! It was good for our family of 6 adults. The only negative was that the bedrooms got really hot at night even with the AC set low. The king beds were also a bit uncomfortable however having a private pool and a pet friendly property was great!

Who wouldn’t like a Cherry On Top

House is nice with many extras however the floor needs to be replaced as some raised screws and flipped panels are a safety hazard. The pool requires cleaning, lots of sand.

I wish there were more towels available as each person got only 1 towel which leaves you washing bath towels every day. The floors were all cracked and coming apart which was not disclosed. There isn’t a ton of space in the kitchen either and no ice maker.

Cherry on top beach vacay 2019

If I could make some changes, it would be beach access #1. It’s not a long haul to the beach and thankfully we rented a golf cart, which helped. The pool is very small and although private, the houses are right next door to one another. Friendly neighbors though! The house did not come with many staples and even though it didn’t mention that it would, we have been spoiled by other homes that did. Overall, it’s a nice place
