The location was fantastic! We had quite the storm roll in on our first full day which caused some door leaking issues. Property owner/management company should hire a better cleaning crew.
Manager's Response
Linda, thanks for the feedback! We agree that Porthole's location is awesome and we are passing along your comments to our cleaning crew. We'd love to see you again soon!

This was the best getaway my family has ever been on! It was myself, my husband, our 3 adult children, their families and my parents. 9 adults and 3 children under 3!
The Porthole was exactly as described. Very spacious. The beach view was spectacular and the walk to the beach was great. We will definitely be renting The Porthole again.
Manager's Response
Ashlie, thanks so much for the kind words are we couldn't be happier to hear that your Mother's Day getaway was a success! We'd love to welcome you back to Porthole in the future.

Our trip was Great! Overall the rental was too expect for a few things: A bored in the outdoor shower broke and an adult fell though resulting in some pretty serious gashes and scrapes all down his legs and up his back. All's I could think was thank god it wasn't a child.
All the beach supplies were broken, umbrella, 10 X 10, and several chairs resulting in us having to buy them but where the house was located we had to drive 30 min to get to a store that sold these items so we roughed it. Not a deal breaker but I would be double checking before you book.
There is no cooler or beach towels at the house so be prepared to buy them or bring your own, there was however an ice maker which was amazing and ALL the beds were super comfortable.
Manager's Response
We’re so glad you had a nice time at The Porthole. We did get in touch with maintenance and they replaced the board in the outdoor shower. The beach supplies left behind actually come from previous guests and are tossed with the weekly garbage, so we can’t guarantee that they are operable. We provide all indoor towels and linen with our cleaning service, but outdoor towels and coolers are the guest’s responsibility. Again, we appreciate your review and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Perfect location with incredible view of ocean from front porch and a very close walk to beach access; house slept 9 adults comfortably although BR w/pull-out sofa was only a Full-size mattress so room arrangements were a bit tricky; lovely upstairs master ensuite that would have been perfect with a TV included up there; kitchen had ample pots & pans, etc. however stove-oven needs deep cleaning; during a very heavy rain storm there was maintenance issue with water leakage at front door & window but service responded quickly and addressed problem; overall a great week and happy to enjoy quality time with family at beautiful Fort Morgan beach.
Manager's Response
Beth, we are so happy to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed some quality time with your family! Thank you for the feedback and we will have someone address the range. Tasks like that can be a challenge during peak season, especially for very popular homes such as The Porthole. We hope to see you again soon!

I have vacationed in this home for 20 years,it is like coming home. Management changed for 2019 which caused me some sleepless nights, concerned that we would be able to remain. Relax on the Beach staff and management went out of their way to make that happen. Cannot say enough about their professionalism, but also their kindness and regard for my concerns.
Hope to be there for many years to come, creating memories with children and grandchildren.
Manager's Response
Carolyn, your comments are very meaningful to us and we have shared them with the entire staff. We know that change isn't always good and we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your recent stay at The Porthole. We look forward to welcoming you and your family for years to come!

We loved the house, being right across the street from the beach on a road with no traffic was great! We loved that it was in a neighborhood and not in a busy section of the beach!
Manager's Response
Hi Troy and thanks for the feedback! We agree, The Porthole is a great house in a great location. We hope to see you again soon!
Have vactioned in this home with my family for more than 15 years. Comfortable, well-maintained, spacious. Both management agencies through the years have been great to work with and very responsive if we needed to contact them, which rarely happens.
