Walking distance to everything

We loved our stay here! Walking distance to town and close to beach. I will say, the parking was tight. We had a small suv and two cars that barely fit. Also, the check in information was sent 30 minutes after 4pm. Other than that, it was great! The bathrooms were amazing and we loved having the balcony and back yard.

My family and I and joyed our stay at the Oasis. The property is well maintained and clean. The property has many of the needs you need as if you were at home like washer, dryer, and dishwashing machines. This is a place I would recommend to all who have a large family due to the amount of abundant of space of the house. We loved that everything was at walking distance or close by. We have nothing but good things to say about the spot and the excellent customer service when I did call for information. Hope to stay here again on our next vacation down at Port A.
