Clean, roomy with king size bed in bedroom and a day bed with trundle. Plenty of room to spread out.

Boardwalk to the beach with lighted pathway and outdoor shower area to wash off Sandy feet after a walk on the beach. Close to town and well maintained property.

Relaxing, Comfortable, and Convenient!

Amazing decor and wonderful look and feel! We loved being on the first floor and have a very short walk to the beach and the pool. We felt right at home and wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice little unit near the beach

This is a nice little unit that has been recently updated, and it was perfect for my small family. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach, which was only a short walk across the boardwalk from our door. We'll definitely look for this unit again when we return to Port A.

Nice!

Overall, a great property! Location cannot be beat. Very comfortable and relaxing. Were we to look to quibble, we would like a boost to the WiFi -- we could only get 1 bar much of the time.

Great quick trip!

The property is clean, comfy beds, has WiFi, and very close to the boardwalk to get to the beach (5-ish min walk apt to beach). The only downside is that are monster mosquitoes because of the dune, so bring the bug spray.

Great Escape

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: This was our first visit to Port A and stay at Island Retreat. It will not be our last. Service was top notch, I greatly appreciated the email updates on how to enjoy our stay and conduct a contact-free check-in/out. We stayed in unit 125. It was clean, cozy and great walking distance to the beach; although, visitors who like to take a lot of equipment to the beach may want a cart or at least a cooler with wheels. We visited during the pandemic so we couldnt enjoy the restaurants and bars. The local grocery store (IGA) was well stocked and clean.
