October vacation
This property offered a vacation feel that included all the amenities of a regular home. The kitchen was well stocked and the washer/dryer was a plus, especially if you're wanting to pack light. You will still have to bring your own paper towels, extra trash bags, oil, spices, etc. Although the beach was right down the road, there was a heated community pool for our entire family to enjoy when the sun went down. Our family will definitely be back to Pamilla Beach, we loved it!

Family Beach Adventure
We took 10 family members with us to Port A.
The property was a perfect fit. The grandsons took the bunk room, the grand daughter took the single bunk above her parents and we the grandparents slept quietly downstairs. The cottage had everything we needed. We stayed in and cooked all of our meals. We rented a cabana at the pool it was lovely. Had a small issue with the air conditioner and a technician was sent right over at 9:45pm to fix the problem. Much appreciated
