Great stay

Property was better than expected. There were a lot of amenities and features we weren’t expecting. Easy access to hose and outside shower. Lot of towels for to use after clean the beach off your body. The best part was the floor plan. Everyone had easy access to bathrooms!

great house!

Overall everything was wonderful ---- location was great, right in town. However, that comes with street noise at night. Pool was very nice to have, however, the access to the back yard was through the front and around the carport to the back yard. It wouldn't have been too bad except when it was pouring rain ~

Great location!

So close to the beach and all things Port A! Great layout, still almost new, and had everything we needed. My only suggestion is more hooks in the bedrooms /bathrooms. The showers are huge and if there were some hooks in there it would be a great spot to hang wet swimsuits and towels.

Contemporary Container House- a unique experience!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We spend 2 weeks in Port A several times a year and this will rank as one of our favorite properties- it is new, with spacious bedrooms and baths, very close to beach access, and a large top deck to view both sunrise and sunsets. There were a few minor issues upon check in that were successfully resolved by the mgmt company the next day- thank you to Tyler who persevered!Kitchenware was basic, but adequate. A few things that would be nice to have (which we have enjoyed at other properties) would be a plastic drink pitcher, snack size bowls, citrus squeezer/press.

New Home, Location is Close to Town, A Few Items Would Make This Great!

Booked a home last minute in Port A (3 weeksish before). Home is a new container home in a great location (close to town), with a large patio and all of the basic's you will need. Liked the cocktail pool for the kids to splash in without having to walk to a community pool. A few things... The AC upstairs had trouble keeping the temperature below 72 degrees upstairs. Not an AC guy so don't know if it is the unit itself or how the system is designed, but haven't had that issue in other properties. That may not be an issue for all. We just normally have our home at 71 during the day and 69 at night. Doors get stuck or don't close fully. Home is new and maybe settling, but someone should be looking at these details from time to time. I get that the property has a pool, but it would be nice to have glassware in the home as an option vs the plastic cups only. I would remove the golf cart from the main listing picture to avoid confusion. We read the fine print, but most of the listings that have a golf cart pictured include it in the rental. We've tried a few other places closer to town, but will keep going back to Cinnamon Shore.
