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!

Great place to stay within walking distance of a beachfront restaurant and the beach but far enough off the beach you feel like you are not on a public beach. Very nice layout and appliances, very nice location.Great communication and price. I'll definitely visit again

My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend here and it exceeded our expectations. After a hiccup getting in, which Starkeys took care of quickly, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is right on the beach an amazing view. I was so concerned with location when I booked, I didn't even realize there was a pool until we arrived. There are several units grouped around the pool, but we were the only people staying on the property and it felt like we had a resort all to ourselves. I swam laps in the pool every morning and we had a midnight swim too. The great room and kitchen are spacious and beautifully furnished and the deck is huge. Hearing waves crash on the beach from the primary bedroom was a highlight. As vacation home owners ourselves, I suggest the owners replace the metal cooking utensils with plastic & silicone to extend the life of your non-stick pans. Wine glasses and a wine opener would also be appreciated, but this is one of the best vacation homes we have ever rented!
