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.

Extreme dissatisfaction
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you are claustrophobic, do not stay here. Place is mini size. Absolutely no room for anything. Even the little outdoor space is horrible. Parking is an ordeal as well. Kitchen is just as bad. We were very unhappy with our accommodations. Would not recommend to anyone.

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.

Tredways first time at Port A!
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.
