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 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.

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.
