Starkey Properties by Portoro

“Over all great stay, except the AC upstairs did not work and that was not mentioned in the email. The light upstairs in the middle bathroom to the shower did not work , it was very dark. The AC was definitely frustrating for our group as it was very hot.”

“Pros: House was beautiful and spacious for our party of 9. Everyone had a bed. Couch was comfortable. Loved the shampoo and conditioner provided. Cons: living room TV sound didn’t work despite everything they wanted us to try to reset it. Never got it figured out. There was only 1 tiny pan to cook with. Dead roach in the hallway on arrival (stuck to the floor). No plastic cups (for children). Could never find the guest manual so had to figure out the WiFi password ourselves and there is no signal so make sure you have the door code saved prior to arrival.”

“I have kids with mold allergies. I found out it was super bad mold inside of washer. They washed all towels and bedding in that washer and I didn’t take all with me so we supposed to go and buy some towels and bedding for my baby so I will be sure he is safe. Still both of his hands had allergy reaction 😔. Fridge didn’t work till day second of our stay so we had to use our cooler and Ice to keep our foods cool.”

“The place was great for a family of 14. There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms available! I only overlooked the home description and didn’t notice there isn’t a dining room space. So, sitting and having dinner together at a table wasn’t an option.”

“Everything was as promised. The only item was they didn’t have a can opener. There were tons of people around you so it wasn’t secluded or private but you couldn’t hear anyone outside after quiet hours.”

“This place was very nice and clean, only issue was we could not get any of the TVs to work”

“Beautiful house close to the beach. Great areas outside to sit and relax. We enjoyed our stay!”

“Some bad mystery smells, too close to the neighbors 👀 and the property manager takes an hour to come help.”

“The property had several positives, including a great location near the beach, a spacious layout, a rooftop deck, and a private pool. However, these benefits were overshadowed by significant cleanliness, maintenance, and management issues. Upon arrival, the kitchen contained dirty cookware, utensils, cups, and stained coffee mugs, while pots and pans had chipped nonstick coatings. Throughout the home, guests found makeup stains, dust, food residue, trash under furniture, and even feces on a bathroom toilet pedestal. The pool area was dirty, littered with debris, and never serviced during the stay. A late-night disturbance caused by property workers violated the property's stated quiet hours. Laundry facilities were poorly maintained, resulting in damage to two swimsuits due to excessive sand buildup in the dryer. Parking was also a major issue, with insufficient spaces available and management directing guests to park nearly two miles away. Despite costing approximately $2,000 for six”

“The beds are not the most comfortable and you will want to bring extra pillow and blankets as the ones provided are pretty thin. The back yard is fenced but unkept. The wheels rolled off the 10$ grill when we rolled it away from the house to use it. We probably will not stay here again.”
