We had a great stay at this property, it's literally on the beach so we were able to enjoy multiple walks on the beach. The house itself was great and had all the amenities to let us cook a couple of meals at the place. We would definitely come back!

Just do it. If you're considering staying here, close all the other tabs you have open and book it, now.Only drawback is that our standards for a great beach trip have dramatically increased, so this will be hard to beat!A helpful note to families with littles - there are TWO closets that would fit a pack-n-play or toddler cot easily.

I have been waiting for this property to hit the rental market for some time! This property is a ground-up new construction home that replaced the 1955 house that my family spent many summer weeks in starting in 1975. The new home is beautifully done, honors the original, and offers everything you could want in a beachfront rental. The location is perfect. The sunrise and sunset views from the huge deck are awesome. Comfortable furniture, beds, and bedding. Decked out and well-stocked kitchen. Downstairs foot washer and shower to rinse the beach off before going upstairs. We didn’t use the swimming pool (shared with two other units) but it’s huge and nice to have! The Port A Beach Lodge is only two driveways from Outlook: easy walk for breakfast, lunch, drinks, etc. Having a golf cart included, and handled by Starkey, was so nice versus arranging it on your own. We’ve already booked this home for a long weekend in 2026 and will continue to come back to Outlook often!
