The property was fantastic! We had an incredible girls’ weekend that was located within walking distance of bars and restaurants. Everything was spotlessly clean and well-organized. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
Such a nice place to stay. Loved the artwork and craftwork throughout the place. Gave it a very comfortable feel. Very conveniently located. Close to everything! Would stay there again.
Room was beautiful and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The pool was dirty on Monday when we arrived but Tuesday through Friday was clean. We rented a golf cart to get to and from the beach, 5min drive. I would stay here everytime we come back
We had a great time! This home was perfect in every way. It was probably the cleanest place that we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully decorated and very cozy. We had everything that we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
Great time with big family. We went to the beach (5minute drive) easy access. Grocery store convenient. Could use a few additional kitchen items such as zip locks and leftover containers potato masher, overall it was a great time
Beautiful, well-designed, stocked, and thought out, this condo brought our family together for our best family get away yet! We are so thankful to have found this property and look forward to the possibility of staying here again sometime. From the accommodations to the decorations and the attention to detail, everything is well thought out. Loved it!
My family and I and joyed our stay at the Oasis. The property is well maintained and clean. The property has many of the needs you need as if you were at home like washer, dryer, and dishwashing machines. This is a place I would recommend to all who have a large family due to the amount of abundant of space of the house. We loved that everything was at walking distance or close by. We have nothing but good things to say about the spot and the excellent customer service when I did call for information. Hope to stay here again on our next vacation down at Port A.
We loved our stay here! Walking distance to town and close to beach. I will say, the parking was tight. We had a small suv and two cars that barely fit. Also, the check in information was sent 30 minutes after 4pm. Other than that, it was great! The bathrooms were amazing and we loved having the balcony and back yard.

Reviewer Comments:
Very comfortable, nicely furnished. One small complaint-kitchen has no staples. No salt and pepper. No coffee filters. No basic basics.
Great place with coastal style. Close to shops and restaurants. Unit is at front of community so parking seems a little tight for a double cab Chevy truck and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Noise from showers on adjoining walls might be a little loud for some. Other than that - don’t pack your baggage/coolers too heavy since the kitchen is upstairs and you have to carry it all upstairs (assuming you bring your own groceries rather than shop at IGA). One master upstairs and one downstairs.
Not under your control - pool area had unaccompanied youngsters (age 10-14 maybe) and some litter lying around. Too much shade for pool area - didn’t seem as bright as website. Vegetation seems to invite mosquitoes.
Also not under your control - dang Texas size mosquitoes at front and back door and at pool area. And IGA was out of citronella pots.
Would we do it again - ABSOLUTELY!
Communication was great during booking and checkin. Good location close to town and the beach. We had access a pool across the street which was nice after a long day at the beach. We would stay here again.

Very pleasant stay. Nice and clean! A perfect place to relax!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Saltwater Hippie. It was clean and comfortable and would love to go back. An extra perk was front row seats to the 4th of July fireworks.
Overall the stay was great but we were disappointed that the "shared" back yard was not completely fenced and had a ton of sticker burs.

It was a fantastic place for my family to unwind after spending the day at the beach. Very comfortable house and I highly recommend it for a family with teenagers. They had their own separate beds!
