Coastal cottage
We had so much fun. The rental was in a great location. There needs to be a code on pool gate because there was a group of people who showed up around 9am and stayed the entire day at pool then left around 4pm and they were not residence of the property. So we weren't able to use the pool that day. But other than that we had a blast!

In the Middle of Everything in Port A
I brought my daughter and her friends to Port A for a quick surf trip before the became Freshman in High School. We all liked the convenience of the location to restaurants, ice cream, and some shops, plus it was an easy drive to the beach. The unit was modern, clean, had a downstairs primary and two upstairs rooms. The girls camped in the bunk bed room and I was in the primary. We had a great time at the Sassy Crab

Great rental
We really enjoyed our stay at The Sassy Crab. The unit was clean, decorated nicely and had everything you'd need in the kitchen. The location was great for getting to restaurants and shopping and a short drive to the beach. We enjoyed the on-site pool and the outdoor shower for rinsing off from the beach. The check-in/out process involved stopping at the mgmt company's location to get/return the keys vs. a keypad but it was close by and not a huge deal. We arrived late and were able to get the keys from a lockbox at the mgmt company. I’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent Cottage/Condo and Location
The size and layout of the house was perfect for the 8 of us (6 adults & 2 kids) and was pet friendly. The location was also perfect as it was within walking distance to our favorite restaurants and just a short drive to the beach. We enjoyed the community pool. We appreciated having an outdoor area to rinse off after the beach. We wished the master bedroom would have been cooler for sleeping and the master bath sink had more water pressure.

We will return!
I had planned this trip for 8 members of my family but it ended up being a trip for me, my sister, and my mom, so we had an abundance of room. At the last minute we brought my moms Borderdoodle, so we were glad this place was dog friendly. The rental was in pristine condition and in a perfect location between the beach and local eateries and boutiques. It was nice and quiet. I really appreciated the outdoor showers, the small appliances and utensils in the kitchen, and the community pool for nigh time swims. During our stay, we saw retired couples, families with small children, and families with teenage children. 10/10 recommend, and will return!

Nice and new
We had a great time. The house is new and nicely decorated with a well-stocked kitchen! We appreciated the dog bowls and little extras everywhere! My only suggestion would be to add a dish rack (maybe there was one but I didn't find it). Other than that the kitchen had everything we needed. We usually stay on the beach (walking distance) but it was no problem. This house is close to everything else. There's not a lot of places to walk your dog to relieve himself, but we managed. Thank you!

Easy access to everything Port A in a brand new place! We walked to local eateries and nightlife because they were that close. Master with a walk-in shower on the ground floor was a big plus. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need/want. Easy place to work remotely and enjoy port A. We will definitely be back!
