Fantastic property that is close to everything
Another wonderful stay here! The property was as described, with tons of extra details (dog dishes, games for kids, outdoor shower for after the beach)! This home is located in the golf cart district and is close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The check in and out process was easy and convenient. Thank you again and highly recommend!

Off season week - Our favorite time
The accommodations were fantastic. Very clean and the location is perfect and quiet. Not sure how quiet it is during peak season since we don’t visit Port A during that time. We would recommend this rental and will consider for ourselves on future dates.

Great Stay
We had an amazing stay at this property. They really took effort to think out every single detail and possible need while in our rental. For example different levels of step stools to accommodate children and frozen shot glasses 😉 The property was very clean and check in and check out was effortless. The location was great as it was not too immersed in the action but only a 5 minute drive to the beach. There were also restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely stay at this same property again or another rental property with Port A Escapes.

Perfect adorable cottage
We have stayed in a number of homes in Port A but this one was perfect for my husband and I and our puppy. Great location in the middle of town. Close to dining and the beach. It was about a 3 minute drive to the beach. The cottage was new and had all the cooking utensils you would need. It was decorated in very cute beach and crab decor. We will definitely stay here again. I have recommended it to our friends and family. Thanks for the great stay at Sassy Crab!
