This chic first-floor condo is ready for a family reunion or a vacation getaway with friends accommodating up to eight people. The open kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare meals during your stay with granite countertops, all the stainless-steel appliances, drip coffee maker, dishes, basic pots, pans and utensils. The breakfast bar has seating for four with wooden stools. In the living room, the couch and two armchairs face the wall-mounted flat-screen TV for gathering or watching movies. Colorful paintings of sea birds bring the beach inside, and the pale blue rug has a coral pattern. Step out onto the private patio to see the courtyard, rolling dunes, and a glimpse of the Gulf. Sip your coffee or relax in the evening with the sound of rolling waves just over the grassy dunes and smell the salt spray. Simply open the gate to walk directly into the courtyard area. The master bedroom (BR1) welcomes you with a king-sized bed. The wicker headboard and white-and-blue coral bedding bring the beach feel to the bedroom. Swaying palm trees and a sailboat inspire your dreams in a painting above the bed. There is a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and natural light comes in through a large window. The ensuite bathroom holds a spacious granite countertop, perfect for getting ready and a tile tub/shower. The second bedroom (BR2) provides a queen-sized bed matching the masters. A wicker chest completes the theme, and another large window lights up the room. There is also a wall-mounted flat-screen TV. The third bedroom (BR3) contains two full-sized beds to accommodate everyone along with a chest, closet and TV. The second shared bathroom is appointed with a long counter to get ready in the natural light from the window along with a tile tub/shower. For your convenience, there is a stackable washer dryer located in the hall behind a sliding door to use during your stay. Amenities included: TV, Wi-Fi, access to BBQ pits and picnic areas, laundry facilities, 2 boardwalks to the beach, 2 shared pools.

Michelle and others were outstanding! They were very responsive to our needs and questions. Our unit was just as we expected and our time spent in Port A was outstanding as usual.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear that Michelle and the team provided outstanding service and were responsive to your needs. It’s wonderful that your unit met your expectations and that you had another outstanding visit to Port A. We look forward to welcoming you back for more great stays in the future!

We've been to Port A several times, and this was our most comfortable stay. Strong air conditioning, furnishings nice and kid-friendly - didn't have to put away delicate stuff upon arrival, plus comfy beds! Very minor areas for improvement: trash drawer could use a handle for easier opening, and door lock requires 2 hands to open - one to hold deadbolt and one to turn door knob. that's how hard I had to look to see anything less than perfect. loved this place and would happily stay again

We enjoyed having two large units side-by-side this year. #41 and #43. Both we were very accommodating. Pool-side and convenient. We had all our meals there and ate outside on two picnic tables.

We really enjoyed our stay!!! We hope to rent the condo IR43 again. One thing that was inconvenient is that the shower in the second bathroom was broken and everyone had to use the master shower. Also, we missed having a table and chairs to dine at and play games at. But, next time we’ll bring a card table and chairs!

Overall

We enjoyed our stay at Island Retreat. Our condo was quite a hike to the beach but right in front of the pool which was great for our kids. Love the updates to the condo but you can tell it gets a lot of wear and tear, especially the kitchen. The kitchen is minimally stocked so bring what you need and extra ice! The freezer can't keep up!
