We stayed in condo 102 with our kids and another couple and their kid. The condo was well-apportioned, clean and comfortable. There were 4 adults and 4 kids and we were quite comfortable. Located right on the beach, it was a short walk to the water. More

For two nights we stayed in unit 19, a motel unit with kitchen. The owners definitely did a good job making the space comfortable -- two beds, fold out couch, dining table, lot's of chairs and lighting. However our issues were with the cleanliness of the space. As soon as we walked in, the unit smelled horrible. It's definitely the... More

I stayed in unit #22 in December. The view from the balcony was wonderful with the dunes and ocean. It's one of the closest units to the boardwalk for easy beach access. Plus, plenty of parking out front. The unit was clean with everything we needed. The windows had been redone so we could even sleep with them open and... More

Stayed in Unit 12 for two nights just after NYE. It was a small condo but how can you complain when its less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. Just have to head off the grounds and down the paved path over the dune. The beach here is really nice. Also of note, you can drive out on... More

Although this was our first time to return in several years (since new management), our family was thrilled with the present condition of the property and with the level of service. Our two children, now in the 40s, were with us for Thanksgiving week; they started going before either was five. In some years, we have visited more than once.... More

Most of the condos in Port A are all individually owned so the rooms vary from really well stocked to very basic.. We have stayed here probably five times over the last few years and this time we hit the jackpot and I will remember the room number 228. The patio faces the pool which is great if you have... More

#134 was disguisting! When we arrived we opened the door and it smelled like mildew through the entire condo. The bathroom smelled like an outhouse. We found termites in our bed. We called the next day to have a cleaning crew clean our bathroom and spray some bug spray and noone ever showed up. We were there for 3 nights... More

This was our first time staying at the Island Retreat. The condo was really nice and the beds were really comfortable. We were very impress with the whole decor it felt like we never left our home. The walking distance to the beach was only 2mins. Its a great place for a family vacation. The only bad thing was the... More
