Spent two nights at The Porpoise House, had a wonderful time! Our host John was most welcoming, texting us info and in communication if we had any questions or concerns. Simple coded entry, comfy beds, lots of towels and soaps and things. One block from the beach, can see the waves from house, we thoroughly enjoyed the location. Would definitely rent again, quiet neighborhood, all the amenities in the kitchen, two bathrooms. It worked out perfectly for us!

Pics are slightly different than the that of the actual interior. Had a pest control issue that we reported to property management and they’re taking care of it. HVAC worked well. Overall stay was good.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
We had a great stay. Two Grandmothers with grandchildren 8-9 years old and a small pup. A few friends and family came out for the day. -The house was charming and very clean with three (2nd row) views of the ocean waves! ❤️- The new ACUnits were great! ❤️ -Very close to beach in backyard, however, rocks are along Beach Drive in back and it was High Tide. We entered onto beach by driving to the end of Beach Drive and Texas. It was safe and had a big beach for kids swimming and playing, and crab catching as sun went down. Lots of fun! ❤️-The kitchen is beautiful and new! A few more bowls would be nice. Only one.❤️-The rooms were nice with great tvs. ❤️-Baths big and accommodating but a little remodeling still needed. -It rained hard with lighting one evening. There is no awning over door with code box which was very hard to enter code on a wet entry box with lighting and getting soaking wet. That should be remedy for safety reasons. 😔-The dinning room window would not shut completely on one corner with a hole and rattled loud in strong winds. 😞-The house has only a very limited amount of bedding, pillows very very thin, no extra linens, one blanket and no pillows for pull out sofa bed. That was not accommodating!😞We would rent again if the few things were fixed! Again the ramp was awesome for carrying items in and out especially with a wagon! A few friends had walking issues and it was wonderful for them! ❤️
