We have been to Gulf Shores 6 times through the years and stayed at 6 different locations starting with condos and ending up with houses to meet the accommodations of our growing family. By far Porters Mark was the best of all. Our hosts were great. Even had the pleasure of meeting the pleasure of meeting the owner. They answered all our questions and were a pleasure to work with. The rooms were spacious. The kitchen was large enough for multiple people to help prepare meals. The outside grill/ kitchen was a great feature. Can’t say enough good about the pool, the shallow end under the deck was perfect for the young children. Great location between the two public beach accesses so the beach wasn’t crowded at all. Loved it. We plan on staying there in the future.

Great Girls Getaway

What a wonderful time the 16 of us ladies (all of a certain age) had at your lovely property. It was the perfect setting for all of our eating, drinking, sunning, chatting and shenanigans. Beautifully decorated by the sweet owners, Mark and Kate, this is the perfect property for any large group. We loved having the pool right on the beach all to ourselves, what a treat!

We had a great time at Porters mark. We were only 13 persons, so everyone had a king bed except the two youngest, who shared one of the bunk rooms. It was cold, so we’re very glad we had the pool heated. Fantastic location in gulf Shores!.

Amazing Family Get-Away Spot!!

When we arrived there were some issues on Christmas Day and the owners immediately responded and had someone at the house within 5 minutes!! Overall, we had a relaxing week, enjoying the pool, beach and outdoor spaces. This is the perfect place for a family reunion with lots of space for playing games, eating and just being together. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom which was so nice! Overall it was a great week and we would highly recommend this rental.
