 "Nice location
 Very nice rental and not far fro.the beach"

 "Weekend stay
 Our stay was fun however, we had a huge roach and bug problem. They were everywhere in the house. On the walls, on the floor, and all alive. More amenities could definitely have been provided as the description was very vague and one big towel per guest was not enough. "

 "Gnarly Marine
 Loved staying in your property. It lacked in some aspects, coffee maker worked off and on until last day then totally quit, we had a small child with us and could not locate a mop or broom to clean up after her. The TVs in the upstairs bedrooms did not have connections to internet so could not be used, the door going to the upstairs deck from living room was very difficult to shut and the light in the pool did not work. "

 "Great Family Vacation
 We spent a week at the Gnarly Marlin with six adults and four kids (all under the age of 7). Great property with everything we needed. Well appointed kitchen, wonderful swimming pool, and the large tables in the pool area and the dining room were wonderful for our large group. The kiddos enjoyed the TV and the large couch for lounging. Overall a wonderful stay. We will book it again next year. "

 "Great Customer Service lacking upkeep
 Helpful customer service during booking and leaving with an extended checkout, but was a bit disappointed on the cleanliness. Kitchen had large cockroaches. On several occasions when walking into the kitchen area there were large roaches crawling around. This made it uncomfortable to leave even packaged food on counters or cabinets. Due to the short stay and lack of time we just decided to avoid the kitchen. Great location, close to everything, and not in a busy traffic area. Unfortunately for us we didn’t get to fully enjoy, but if cleaned better it’s an enjoyable place. Therefore, I would recommend to a friend with hopes for a cleaner environment."

 "Great for large groups
 This house was incredibly clean, well stocked with anything you could need, and it had a great location. I wish the bunk room was upstairs instead of downstairs with direct access to the pool, but other than that, this place was great!  We had one maintenance issue but the management company was very responsive and took care of it right away.  I would highly recommend this property."

 "Second year rental-Gnarly Marlin
 This house works well for a large group with the, open kitchen/living room.  A very nice home.  Port A Escapes was very prompt in coming to empty full trash cans that had not been put out from previous renters.   Would recommend this house.
 Also rented Hydro Therapy across the street.  A darling decorated home and very comfortable.  Downstairs apartment is great for grandparents to get away.  Very nice outdoor space and pool area.  Outdoor games advertised were missing as were sheets for air beds that complete the number of people this home can accommodate.  We made do and enjoyed both houses very much.  Would recommend both houses."

 "Gnarly Marlin Awesome family vacation home
 The Gnarly Marlin by far met my expectations, very clean, spacious for number of family members who attended. Pool was clean which is a must have for me and my family. The only issue i had was i needed to make sure all doors were locked downstairs due to design of home, but i would give this home 5 stars."

 "Perfect Beach Rental, with awesome pool area
 Loved everything about this place!! Great location, very quiet and peaceful. Right in the middle of everything. Close to the beach, close to the middle of town. The house was beautiful and the pool was a hit with the whole family. I noticed it was larger than a lot of the other homes pools. We have been going to Port A for over 25 yrs and this place was by far our favorite. "

 "Beautiful Home
 My friends and I had a blast staying here! The property itself was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen has all the necessary things for us to cook. The bedrooms were spacious and the pool was awesome! We had a wonderful stay!"
