We were four guys on a golf trip to Kiva Dunes. This was our fourth year and The Porthole was by far our best choice of accommodation. Spacious and clean with great decks and views. The management team went out of there way to make our stay a great one. Hopefully they'll have us back next year!
Manager's Response
Thanks Bruce! We couldn't be happier to hear that Porthole was the perfect choice for your outing and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.

There were some air conditioner issues during the week and the folks at Coastal View Vacations were great. They got air conditioner professionals out promptly and followed up to be sure we were satisfied. It took two trips for the repairmen to take care of everything, but Coastal View was very helpful and caring. Once the ac was properly repaired, time there was great. This was our third year in this house and we have reserved it again for next summer.
Manager's Response
James, we sure do appreciate guests like you! We can't control the occasional glitch, but we do try and respond as promptly as possible. Thanks so much for your understanding and patience. See you next year!

For a property located off the beach, this is as close as it gets! Off the beach rates for a house that has a shorter walk to the beach than most condominiums we have rented. The house was very spacious, especially the front deck, which has a great view of the Gulf! Property Management was very attentive and even pulled our trash cans to the street for us on trash day.
Manager's Response
Ken, thanks so much for the kind words! The Porthole is a relatively new home to our program and it is quickly becoming a guest favorite. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

We've stayed here multiple times over many years, under several different agencies over the years. We love the house, layout, location, amenities, etc. Updates have been appropriate and appreciated. There is one re-occurring problem, that the owner does not seem willing to address. The air conditioner is not adequate to keep the house comfortable. 80 degrees at bedtime in the upstairs bedroom is not acceptable, and may ultimately be a deal breaker for our families. It seems to be a problem each time we stay here, with various reasons provided. The rental agency has addressed our issues well.
Manager's Response
Thanks for staying with us again Kay! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and everything The Porthole has to offer! The owner has had a reputable AC company service the unit and the system is running as it should. We look forward to having you back next year!
