Porto Cima Luxury Home for your Ultimate Vacation! Main Channel View 6Bd, 4.5Ba!

We have not been disappointed in any of the properties that we have visited.

Jason, is great to work with if there is ever a problem. We are coming back one more time before winter and looking forward to it.

My family and I had read the many reviews and assumed what to expect with the property, however we were disappointed with many issues. The master bathroom shower was not working properly, you get either very hot or cold. Because of this some family needed to use a different shower. The house cleanliness was very poorly maintained for the rental cost. We were told cleaners went to the home prior to our arrival, however we spent time cleaning and wiping down many areas. We were charged for cleaning fees, however cleaners are not doing an adequate job.

Bug, bugs and more bugs, we couldn't believe the infestation of bugs. We understand if a property has been empty, but there were so many insects. Within a couple hours of arrival a quarter size spider crawled on the couch next to our cousin holding a 2-month old baby. A couple days later as they were preparing to wash the baby's hair in the master bath tub a live scorpion, YES, a scorpion came out of the faucet. From then on, they actually applied a netting to the baby's sleep area for fear of safety. We thought the scorpion was a "fluke" however in the one of the upstairs bedrooms was a dead scorpion as well. The basement contained so many bugs too many to count. We had to actually vacuum under the bed because one of the kids didn't want to sleep there with the dead bugs.

There was also a horrible smell coming from the upstairs bathroom closet. So bad you could not even open the door. While upstairs near this bathroom whenever the air conditioner turned on the smell would become worse.

TV's are very old and outdated. Game consoles cannot be hooked up due to the age of the televisions. After several attempts we did finally get the TV working in the basement, but we never could get the TV in main living room area to work.

Lastly, in order to access the Sunrise Beach area a pay toll of $3 was needed to enter and exit the bridge. We understand this is not the property owner's fault, however we thought this might be a good to know detail.

There were some positives: The beds were comfortable, the kitchen has full working appliances and plenty of utensils for cooking, the view is absolutely beautiful and when I contacted the rental agent he was very prompt with response time.

Needs up date

Great for a big family - we had 9 adults and several grandchildren. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Elaborate decks. Everyone had a great time.

Positives - The nearby swimming pool, with key access, is first rate. The windows and views are spectacular!

But there many small problems that shouldn't be there at this rental rate.

The kitchen cutlery and utensils were threadbare, odd and inadequate. Then, the more you look around, that was a recurring theme. The ice maker is missing, which means you have to buy your own. The shower in the master bath has a beautiful faux marble wall that's bowing away from the under surface, Not a big deal but needs work. One of the showers upstairs has some kind of leak that dribbles down through the fluorescent light in the laundry room. Weird and possibly dangerous. The beautiful Japanese maple at the entrance is under serious attack and needs to be sprayed. The kids loved the place and the adults really had a great time. But this home needs someone to spend some time fixing all the things that go wrong in a a rental. We fixed a few things but that's not our job obviously. Overall, we all felt that we paid too much for a place that is in semi-disrepair.

We had a lovely stay and I would recommend it to anyone. Nice place to wake up in the morning and have breakfast on the deck. The fireworks display was right across the water from the house which the kids really enjoyed.
