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.

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
