 "Best Time!
 Foorprints in the Sand was a wonderful choice for our family.  It's walking distance to the beach and has a great pool/spa.  The home is well appointed and beautiful.  The view is amazing!  We would like to book it again."

 "Goods and bads
 On the bright side, the house has a nice ocean view, with a five min walk to the beach. Pool and jacuzzi were in good condition, same as almost all the rest of the house, except for some areas that need maintenance.
 On the not-so-bright side: when arrived, the house had a smell of humidity, like if the A/C had been off for sometime; that smell didn't go away during the three days we were there. The general maintenance of the house was some what behind, with interior and exterior areas that that had not been painted or restored, certainly not looking like the pictures posted, but not a reason for a major complaint.
 But perhaps the major point was the housekeeping: some major appliances were in pretty bad condition, and almost all the pans were rotten, completely deteriorated and had rests of food.
 The interior of the microwave was broken, the upper panel had a hole and dark brown spots all over, the back panel was off, bent forward and wrapped; the door edge rotten, paint off showing rust.
 The refrigerator would hardly dispense any water, a sign that the filter had not been replaced ever.
 The oven was also deteriorated, the grill rotten with a brown color. No one would eat using those utensils.
 We went out and bought some kitchenware.
 We sent pictures to the staff, and they agreed with our dissatisfaction, they were very attentive and apologized, so I think these problems are the result of not having good procedures in place, but they seem to have good personnel.
 They said they have more than 300 properties, but my questions was: how many do you think your competitor (Airbnb) has? and they don't allow this things to happen...
 In summary, the pictures do not reflect the conditions, and the value for money wasn't there. No credit or compensation was offered."

 "Secluded family getaway
 This home is perfect for a family getaway! It features two spacious balconies perfect to see the pool and beach! It's only a few steps from a private boardwalk to access the beach. The upstairs features a master bedroom and kitchen which was so welcoming when preparing meals and hanging out with the family. It's located only 10 minutes from town where you can access shopping and restaurants. The family had a blast and we look forward to staying here again!"

 "Exceptional property
 We loved this property. This is our 9th year to come for our family vacation. After staying in many different properties, this one is our favorite. Everything you need and more. So much space to stretch out. The pool and hot tub were clean and perfect. We enjoyed it many times during the day.  The view is amazing and relaxing. So much to offer. Can’t wait for our next trip back to Port A. "

 "Beautiful and excellent location!
 Beautiful house that is perfectly located.  Easy walk to the beach that is very low populated.  House had everything we needed for our multi family vacation.  Pool was a great way to end a nice day at the beach!  Would 100% stay here again. "

 "Family Port A Trip
 Our family loved where we stayed and are thinking about booking again next summer. Location is private and is easy access to the beach. House was spacious with plenty of room for everyone. Property could use some upkeep as the AC couldn’t keep up, patio door was difficult to open and close on the upper deck and the dishwasher upper rack was broken. Also, the hot tub kept draining all the way into the pool making the pool very hot and really not very pleasant. However these issues would not prevent us from renting again."

 "Family Vacation
 Footprints in the Sand has a very nice location. Close to Port A and the island. A very secluded location with a 10 minute walk to the beach.
 
 The pool is very kid friendly. However no shade provided morning to mid afternoon. No cushions on the pool furniture and 2 wicker lounges were falling apart.
 For the price we expected more amenities. There was only one towel per person for the entire stay of 4 days. Also no towel racks or hooks to hang up wet bathing suits in shower.
 For a house that sleeps 15, the amount of pots and pans was not adequate. Some needed replacing as they were rusty and unusable.
 We did enjoy our stay, some of the above mentioned items need to be addressed.

 "Wonderful home and stay
 Home is fantastic. Everything was clean and well kept. We had two minor issues which management addressed promptly. In one case, a repairman was at the home within a half-hour! I would stay there again. "

 "Family Vacation
 Have rented many homes on VRBO, and this was the worst. Walked in and you could smell mold -very musty.
 Furniture was dirty and very slime on the amenities.
 Not enough dishwasher soap, dish soap, bathroom hand soap and trash bags. NO Kleenex in any bathroom BUT
 3 coffee pots? Hot tub does not work but paid for it to heated- did get refund. What we paid it should have been better. Mold is a serious issue and it need to be addressed. We will not be coming back."

 "Footprints in the Sand
 Excellent house and location. We had 8 adults & 6 kids. The house was just lovely, in a perfect location, and the pool was wonderful. The kitchen had everything we needed including a crock pot, the beds were comfortable, the house was quite, & we'd stay there again in a heartbeat! Loved it. Beautiful home. I'd highly recommend it and Port A Escapes is my go to in Port A!"

 "Great Family Vacation Home
 Where to start, communication was great. Kids loved the pool, adults loved the hot tube. The walk to the beach is great. House is amazing and plenty of room, clean "

 "Great for large families
 We've stayed several places in Port A, but this is our favorite house.  Very open and spacious for a large group.  We had 8 adults and 6 children.  Short walk to the beach, which was important to us with the small kids.  And the pool was the perfect size for them, they all enjoyed it very much.  Highly recommend!"
