Location is great

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a shame they have let this rental go. There is so much upkeep that should have been done through the years. The location is great but beware the wood floors that will pinch your feet, the upstairs door to outside you can see daylight through, was wondering why we were getting bugs in. The furniture is very old and smelly. The oven is a little off on temperature so check your food. Finally got the pool clean so on day 3 of our stay we could use it. I'm sure it was a lovely house at one time, but it has been let go.

Always a blast.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love it here, however after staying here for almost five years now and seeing them not make the necessary updates needed to justify what they charge we will have to start looking at other options next year. Two years in a row we’ve had electrical fires, leaking windows when it rains, gaps in doors that are 1-2” big, doors that don’t open, etc... It’s everything we look for when coming to Port A in regards to size and outdoor area so hopefully they get to the updates they need.

Amazing Property

This vacation rental was amazing in every way. The pool was huge and the tiki hut was great for shade. The house has all modern conveniences like huge commercial grade kitchen appliances and TVs in every room, but retains a ton of antique beach house vibes. The home was clean and exceded every expectation for all 15 of us that stayed there. One block from the beach. We would definitely book again.

Great for big groups

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Summer Place is a great large house for big groups or multi-families. In an attempt to have a safe vacation in the age of Covid, it was important to us to have a large pool and outdoor area in case we weren’t able to leave often. We thoroughly enjoyed the huge pool and awesome palapa. The house is fantastically positioned close to town and the beach, so only a short golf cart ride away. The kitchen was also great for large groups with commercial sized oven/stove and double fridge. A few things to keep him mind: few of the TVs work, but we didn’t care (wouldn’t work for football season), take your own beach towels and possibly shower towels as they only provide 1 white hotel towel per guest, the dryers don’t really dry, so be mindful before you do a large load of laundry, some of the doors stick and have old fixtures that aren’t holding up in the salt air (we were not able to access the top deck from inside. Overall, a great vacation in a quirky old house that suited 12 of us perfectly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect venue for our family birthday celebrations, but the house is in dire need of repair and updating. Grounds and many things in the house were lacking proper maintenance. Despite all, we had a wonderful week-long stay enjoying Port A, our former home.

Not a failure...not a home run

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great...and being on the hill was really nice to add to privacy and the view. The placed was very roomy and easy to navigate. The only 2 main issues I have is NONE of the TVs worked. 29 remotes and no tv labeled for which remote belonged to which frustrating when just wanting a large group to settle down from playing in the wonderful pool all day after a wedding. Then my pet peeve...Broken tiles, wood flooring missing and worst 2 stairs that had wood flooring on them that had broken tongue and if you walked down/up barefoot it made you nearly fall when the piece gave way and the nosing had a sharp edge to poke the bottom of your foot. So on a side note..if the owner or management team sees this review...I will fix all these issues in trade for a weekend stay again? I have done flooring for 35 years now... i can make this place look more like it should for the cost it takes to stay in it! But to anyone that made it this far in the review...yes lease this place...because other than those 2 little is a wonderful place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay here every year, we love it. However this year we were a bit disappointed. The doors to the pool from the living room would not open. There was dead tree roaches all over the floors. For a group of 12 staying the 3 night minimum they left two towels per bathroom. The speakers no longer work outside. I feel for what is charged per night that it would have been what we had gotten in the past and it clearly isn't. Hopefully they are still tying up loose ends from Harvey but with that said the price should reflect it. There were several other minor details that disappointed but will contact management directly.

We booked the house again because we enjoyed it so much.
