Beautiful Vacation Home
We loved our time here! The house is beautiful and the location was perfect. We were informed about the new humidifier and air purifier installed and they work great! The house smelled amazing! We also enjoyed the many local places nearby on the island! Will definitely be back to visit!

Great house
There is a ton of construction around the house but that is temporary. The house itself is fantastic. We went with 6 teenagers and 2 adults. It was very comfortable. The only flaw really is the kitchen work space. The space between the island and the oven/refrigerator is very narrow. It is really only feasible for one person to be cooking at a time. Just something to know for meal planning. But really the house is fantastic.

Hi Shannon, we're glad you found the home fantastic and comfortable for your group. We appreciate your understanding about the temporary construction and your feedback on the kitchen workspace. We'll take it into consideration for future improvements. We hope to host you again soon.

The perfect girl's trip location!
We had our annual girl's trip here and it was the first time any of us had been! It was PERFECTION! The communication with guest services was super easy - we saw them for check in/check out and that was all we needed because they and the hosts thought of everything! We did see a few mosquitos outside when we go there, but we let them know, and they had pest control out immediately the next day. Pest Control told us that this was the worst the whole area had seen in 10 years - so definitely not specific to this space. Once they sprayed we barely saw another one! I'd suggest renting a golf cart/beach chairs/pool cabanas to really uplevel your trip :) We got to the beach super easily (they provided a cooler!), had a cabana at the pool each day, and there were so many restaurants and places to eat/drink on the resort that we actually only left the last day so that we could see more of the island! The house itself is adorable. All of the rooms had their own bathroom and then there was also an extra powder room. The space felt so bright and airy and clean. We were able to cook breakfast in the mornings and then spent most of the days at the beach/pool! (Pro tip: order an extra pizza at the pool and bring it home to eat for a late night snack!) We each had our own tv's and private space if we needed it, but there was also plenty of room to hang out together in the living spaces and outdoor spaces. Loved the upstairs balcony, too! It was the perfect location for our group, but would also be an amazing location for kids. We already planned at least two more trips back with families while we were there - and we'll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the perfect vacation spot!

Great beach house!
The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of beach toys in the garage. Just a couple minutes from the beach. Also very close to the restaurant and pool since it's part of a resort. Rented a golf cart for a day which was really fun and convenient for getting around. There was some construction at some of the neighboring houses but it was never too loud. Would definitely come back here again!

We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly at Mermaid’s Tail! The house was gorgeous, clean and well-stocked. The beds were very comfortable which is huge for us. We didn’t have to think about all the little things ( i.e. dish soap, trash bags, kitchen items etc.) which was so nice. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing rental property
This was an amazing rental property. Beautiful home, and exceptional furnishings, electronics, appliances and various other additions. The kitchen was well stalked with silverware, snacks and coffee. The bedrooms had great aesthetic touches, and the beds were very comfortable. The rest rooms were well done and modern. All brass fixtures. The balconies were beautiful. The community was more than we expected. Great golf course, driving range, heated swimming pools, bars and very nice guests through out this community. We made many friends. We rented a golf cart and used it to travel around the expansive and private community. Their private beach was beautiful. You could easily rent beach chairs and umbrellas to lounge at the beach. The staff would bring you food and alcohol whether at the beach or the pools. Overall we will be back !

Wonderful Family Getaway
What a beautiful home! Everything was well done from the beginning to the end of our stay. Checking into and out of the property was a breeze, all of the staff on property we met were consistently kind and helpful. The home is very well done; the chairs and beds were comfortable, and the linens and towels were plenty. Cooking in the kitchen was enjoyable with nice appliances and everything we needed for our meal. Each room was clean and very well thought out, which led to a nice relaxing stay. Sitting out on the balcony in the evening was my favorite part! I would definitely visit again for a couples retreat or a fun family trip!

Great for spring break with the kids
We stayed here with our 6mo old, 4yr old, and another couple with their 8mo old. The bunk bed room was perfect for 3 kids. The adults had good space to move around and the balcony and patio spaces were really nice to spread out. Overall, we'd come again. One note is the location is phase 2 of the community and this area is pretty unfinished. It's a ways out there from the main pool at the community. I would highly encourage a golf cart rental.

Port A Vacation
Decided to stay for the weekend for my birthday. We've stayed in Port A many times, but this was by far the most luxurious. Amazingly build and decorated home. And the resort amenities are awesome. Renting a golf cart to drive to town or the beach, and the resort staff setting up umbrellas and chairs made beach trips super relaxing. We will definitely be staying again!

Fantastic Home - Great location, awesome owners, great communication
We stayed for 3 days/2 nights at this awesome home in Port A. The home is brand new, super well furnished, and very comfortable. All the amenities that you would ever need are there -- kitchen with dishes/silverware, new appliances, toaster, stove, and oven; 3 spacious bedrooms; bathrooms are well furnished (soap, shampoo, conditioner, make-up wipes, plenty of towels); cozy common area with comfortable couch/chairs and access to large patio with sitting area; garage for golf cart; plenty of parking. The house is a short walk away to restaurants in the resort, along with access to a nice gym and pool. The beach is also a very short walk away. Driving to the city of Port-A takes <5 minutes. I'm a runner and running to the city center and back is almost a perfect 10k. The owners and managers are great with communicating the details of the stay. I would highly recommend this fantastic property for any duration and would happily stay here again without a second thought!

Perfect weekend getaway!!!
This beautiful home surpassed our expectations! Every part of the home left us in awe from the stunning design to the brand new appliances. The layout of each bedroom was perfect with a tv and bathroom in each room. Everything was fully thought out so we lacked nothing. Despite nearby construction, the beauty of the home had all our attention and in addition we also appreciated the privacy due to a lack of neighbors. We’ll most definitely be returning to this beach home in the near future!!:)
