We had a blast!! The girls loved being able to access the beach and enjoy the volleyball net. The rooms and showers were impeccable and fit our team perfectly! Loved having two kitchens and the appliances and dish ware fit all of our needs. We will make this a yearly trip for our Gulf Shores tournament.

This is a beautiful property with everything one could ask for—spacious, very clean, two beautiful and well-equipped kitchens, nice bedding, plenty of bathrooms, a wonderful and large pool and outdoor kitchen and perfect placement on the beach. The owners are very timely in their communications. This is a perfect house for a group. I highly recommend it.

Clean convenient and owner was very helpful and most pleasant.

Had everything we needed. A couple of rocking chairs on each front porch would have been very nice as would another towel bar in each bathroom.

Our family stayed at Porter’s Mark over the 4th of July. The property is very nice and all that we hoped for based on the pictures. The private pool, outdoor grilling and eating area, and access to the beach is A+. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond to any requests. My only suggestion is more amenities readily accessible such as extra toilet paper, tissues, trash bags and pool/beach towels as a hotel would supply, especially since our family was coming in from all over the country, many of us flying, and could not bring those items with us. I would highly recommend this property as a vacation destination. Gulf Shores is beautiful and has great energy without being too busy. The home was impressive and a great place to bond as a family. Everyone had a wonderful time.

we absolutely loved this place, it was so beautiful, Mark and Kate were so very nice.We will be doing a review in the next couple days,after we get everyones input,we all had a great time. Thank you so much!

This house is absolutely beautiful!! Very clean and great accommodations. We had 22 in our group ranging from ages of 5-71. They had everything there to get your week started. There was toilet paper, a few pods for dishwasher and a few pods for laundry. We had also brought all that for our week stay. The walkway leading to the beach was really nice. And we really loved the pool!! We enjoyed the place so much that we really did not feel much need to venture out. Although when you did everything was close. Just a few minutes away. We cooked dinner almost every night of our week stay and we thought they had everything in the kitchen you would need. My only advice is to make sure you read everything on the refrigerator and counter that the owner leaves for instructions. Because we did not see the note about the city coming after dusk and removing everything on the beach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. And would love to go back!!

Let's just start off by saying I'm not one to leave a poor review. I don't like being "that" guy, but thought it necessary to leave an honest review for potential future guests. Good: Traveled to the beach with friends and family as a group of 24. The location and the home were great. Plenty of space, clean, and on the beach, so no complaints there. Bad: 1. The owner/host lives on the 3rd floor. This is the first time I've ever rented a VRBO where the owner lives in the property. Mark and his wife Kate were polite/friendly, but he was around and a member of my family saw his snooping through our trash on two separate occasions. 2. The hot water heater wasn't big enough to accommodate hot showers for everyone. I never personally experienced a cold shower, but some of my family mentioned that they had to take a cold shower sporadically. 3. Not nearly enough necessities for a stay. When we arrived, there wasn't any extra toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwashing detergent and only 1 laundry pod above each washer, which is meant to start a load of towels before checking out. Not a huge deal, but be prepared to go to the grocery store upon arrival to stock the home with basic supplies. 4. No rails in shower for handicap accessibility. We traveled with multiple generations of family and the showers didn't have hand rails, which I believe, was in the description. 5. The grill area needs a major updating. Probably the worst grill I've ever used. We cooked nightly, but a few of the knobs were seized and barely turned, and it appeared to have never been cleaned. It definitely looked like it was a nice area once upon a time, but definitely could use some love. 6. Two of the showers in the home gave us trouble. One leaked from the second floor bunk room into the tub below on the first floor. 7. Cameras in the pool area. I assume it's for liability reasons, but still not super comfortable with the lack of privacy. 8. Lack of kitchen supplies. Be prepared to run multiple loads of dishes per day. The home wasn't stocked for the amount of people the home claims it's capable of accommodating. Overall: Again, it was a great home as far as size and location. It was disappointing not having privacy from the owner and seeing him as often as we did. Also disappointing not having basic necessities and having to run to the store immediately to stock the home. Final verdict: Would look elsewhere when booking for next time.
