Big Nauti was clean, comfortable, and close to the beach. We enjoyed morning coffee on the wrap around porches and evening swims in the pool. I'd be happy to return to Big Nauti next time we're in Port A.

Great Spring Break stay

Location of home was just blocks away from beach! Neighborhood was quiet! I stayed with 5 kids (ages 5-13) they loved it! Private pool was good to jump into, a little chilly during this time of year. The kids didn’t mind at all & spent hours in there. Was good to have a bathroom down by pool & outdoor shower. House was nice with lots of extra linens & blankets which was convenient.Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic House

We had a group of girlfriends stay together and this house is exactly how it is pictured. Very cute, clean, comfy, everything you could want in a vacation house. It was very close to the beach, we were able to walk to the amazing Waves coffee shop. The pool was clean, great size, nice pool floats. We will definitely plan a trip back here! This house was perfect and we were so happy with everything. Thank you for a wonderful place!
