August 2025

My wife and I (and our small dog) had the pleasure of staying at Porta Rosa for a few days after Labor Day. The cottage is wonderful in every way, comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. It's the kind of place where you feel immediately at home. A short and very pleasant couple of minute stroll brings you to a beautiful, private, dog friendly association beach. We had the opportunity to meet the owner who was easy going and responsive. All in all a terrific place to stay.

We loved everything about this stay. It was a perfect cottage for my family. Clean, welcoming, perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Perfect location close to a private beach that allowed our dogs to run and play and bonfires at night. Bring your own food and other usable items (laundry pods, shampoo, coffee etc) but plenty of chairs, umbrellas, towels, blankets, pots, pans, grill and anything you might need. Owner is lovely. Don’t miss the farmers market on Sunday. I could have stayed forever!!!

Too many spiders and ticks in the cottage. The extra room is not a place where anyone would sleep. It's a sun porch with no air conditioning and lots of bugs. The beach is beautiful and a short walk away. Check in was nothing like what the email instructions stated. Cars were burglarized so lock your doors.
