Amazing Beach House Stay! We’re Already Planning Our Return!
We had a group of 7 adults and this house was perfect for our weekend getaway. The beach crossover is literally right around the corner. We loved the swim-up bar at the Oasis pool, which is a short walk away. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and welcoming. We loved how cozy the house felt while being spacious for all of us, we could have definitely fit more people. The beds were very comfortable, and the resort was quiet and relaxing. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked! It had every pot, gadget, and dish needed for cooking all our meals. We had some great late-night fun playing foosball in the garage, and having an ice-maker to fill our coolers was amazing! We are already talking about booking this beautiful home again for a longer stay!

Allen's Anchor Seaside Get Away
I loved it all!!! From the adorable way it was decorated, to the extra attention the owner gave to bringing the guests comfort and relaxation in every room of the house. Whether it was the extra strong air conditioning, the super comfy furniture, the awesome water pressure in the showers or something as simple as snuggly throw blankets in every room, it all added up to the perfect vacation rental. It is right on the beach and the pool with a bar was a BLAST. I cannot say enough good things about this property and the fun time we had here!!!!!

This was our first time at Pamilla Beach and it was amazing! The house itself was so thoughtfully put together and incredibly clean. Anything we could've needed was in the home and available to use. While we may not need as much space for our next trip, we would rebook Allen's Anchor anyways because of how beautiful this home was.

Allen’s Anchor is the BEST!!!
Allen’s Anchor is our favorite place to stay in Port A! The house is stunning but comfortable. It’s beautifully decorated and clearly well-maintained. There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit & relax. The kitchen is stocked with every dish or gadget you could possibly need. The beds are comfy & cozy and there are enough bathrooms/showers even for a large group. You won’t regret booking this beautiful home away from home!

Perfect Spot for a Girls' Trip
My girlfriends and I went to Allen's Anchor for a weekend getaway (I wish we could have stayed longer). The house could not have been more perfect. We walked on the beach, enjoyed morning coffee on the beautiful balcony and took a leisurely swim in the pool (heated for the winter - yipppeee)! The house had everything we could possibly need — and we cooked almost all of our own meals. Plus, it's spacious and super comfortable (best beds we've had in a rental). The community also is well-maintained and felt super safe. I would highly recommend this house to any family or ladies' group looking for a weekend or week getaway. You won't be disappointed.

Allen's Anchor
We had the best time staying at Allen’s Anchor! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. Its location in the Palmilla Beach Resort and Golf Community made our stay even better—easy beach access, great pools, a golf course, and dining all right in the neighborhood. We loved gathering on the deck for drinks and laughs in the evenings. The ice machine in the garage was an unexpected bonus we loved. I would highly recommend Allen’s Anchor. We are already planning our next trip!

Allen’s Anchor is amazing!! We enjoyed our stay so much! It was so peaceful and relaxing, exactly what we needed! It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, it had everything you could think of and even some things we didn’t know we needed until we did! 😊 There were so many special touches that made us feel welcomed. (there was a cute little snack basket waiting there when we arrived) You can’t beat the location, easy access to the beach and restaurants. Plus, the pools are top notch. 😊Hands down, awesome place to stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Home in a Great Location
My family and I had a great time staying at Allen's Anchor. The moment you step into the home you can tell they have put a lot of thought and effort into making it feel inviting and unique. Each room is beautifully decorated, the kitchen is fully stocked with any cooking equipment you may need, and there is plenty of space for everyone to be fully comfortable. The location is great as well — it's a short walk to the beach, as well as short walks to two separate pools, one with a swim up bar! We couldn't be any happier with our stay, we're all looking forward to coming back again!

We stayed in the home with 7 adults. This number was very comfortable. We could have fit a couple more comfortably too. The home was clean. We like the easy access to the boardwalk and the beach access road. The pools are fantastic with great bar service. The commercial ice maker in the garage was an absolute game changer! The community is beautiful and quite. The beach that the community has easy access to is beautiful as well.

We stayed at Allen’s Anchor and it was fabulous. The stairs were a bit much if you’re older but, the kids didn't mind. The kitchen is well organized with all the things one needs for cooking. The home decor and furniture are fabulous. We felt at home and comfortable. The home is close to the beach and we went everyday. The kids mentioned they want to do this every summer.

ICEMAKER ON SITE!!!!!
Anyone who travels to the beach knows how much ice you go through and the added expense it brings to an already expensive vacation. I have never stayed in a rental place where they had their own icemaker on site for their guests to use. You can tell the owners care about your convenience and making sure you have all the supplies you need to make your stay enjoyable and affordable.

Great home for family trip
The house was immaculate and seemed brand new and very well stocked for all needs. The weather didn't cooperate for much beach time so we ended up spending a lot of time in the cozy living room (many blankets provided!) watching movies together. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make all meals, even a simple Thanksgiving dinner. For large groups the top floor is fun with bunk beds and even has a desk and printer for any work that may arise. Would definitely recommend!

We have been coming to Port A for decades and this is the best rental we have found. The house is beautiful with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. Even in the offseason the amenities were open with a fitness room, heated pool, coffee shop and restaurants right on site. The house is in a perfect location right next to the boardwalk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed drinks on the deck most evenings listening to the sea birds and feeling the ocean breezes. You can tell the owners took the time to think about what their guests may need for a relaxing and pleasurable stay. There are plenty of games, books, and toys and the main living room has a great entertainment setup with a giant TV and surround sound. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely Perfect!
We stayed here over Mother's Day weekend with our twin 16 mo old babies and it catered perfectly to all of our needs. It was meticulously cleaned which gave me so much peace of mind with the babes. It had everything we needed to relax and have an enjoyable stay. Owners went above and beyond and had great toddler friendly amenities such as baby gates and toys. There are also two pools on the property (one with swim up bar and large splash pad) and one that's heated. The close proximity to the beach was so crucial (<5mins walking). We just wheeled the babies over in a wagon onto the boardwalk. However, you can also just drive onto the beach. Would highly recommend!!
