We had a work conference in the area. The Property was amazing. We had 7 guests, sleep comfortably with most having a private bathroom. The kitchen and great room were spacious with a fabulous couch. The game room is huge and well equipped. Spent some time in the pool as well. About a 5 minute walk to beach access. A all around. I would not consider staying anywhere else in the area.

Thanks for the great review! Glad Portoro was a perfect fit for your work conference — happy the sleeping arrangements and private bathrooms worked well, and that the spacious kitchen, great room (and that couch!) met your needs. Great to hear the game room and pool were hits and beach access was close by. It was a pleasure hosting your group — we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

What a fantastic location for a s bike graduation trip. Accommodations were fantastic. Distance to the beach was perfect. Lots of parking if needed. The place was so aesthetic an every detail was considered in making it a beach vibe. Only complaint we have is that they didn’t have pool heat. They said they did, we paid for it, but then the day before we went there they said it was broken. Major disappointment. We do appreciate being able to check out late, but it did come with a fee. We would definitely go back again.

Thank you for the lovely review! Glad the location, accommodations, beach proximity, parking, and beachy aesthetic worked well for your bike graduation trip. We’re very sorry about the pool heater. We’ll pass your feedback to the team to prevent this in the future. Happy the late checkout helped, and apologies if the fee wasn’t made clear — we’ll review our communication there as well. It was a pleasure hosting you — we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

We were very pleased with our stay at Captains Quarters. They were very accommodating and allowed us to check-in early after a long drive due to having trouble finding a hotel mid-way (we didn't realize there was a big game that weekend and all hotels were booked). They also allowed me to remove the rugs to accommodate my elderly mother who trips easily. Everyone loved the house, it was a very short walk to the beach, and the game room was a big hit!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you and your family had such a great stay at Captain’s Quarters. I’m glad we could help make your arrival a little smoother after that long drive, and it’s lovely to know your mother felt comfortable too. It sounds like you made the most of the beach and the game room — both are such great highlights of the home! We’d be delighted to welcome you all back anytime.

50th BDAY Celebration

I came with my best friends and two of my sisters to celebrate those of us that turned 50 this year. The house was beautiful, very clean and a very small walk to the beach. We loved the game room and really enjoyed that we each had our own bathrooms in our rooms and let's not forget the huge king beds. The house was worth the price we paid as we had more than enough space, a pool, huge living room and open kitchen. Absolutely loved our time here!!

Everything it claims to be, and more!

I stayed here with 7 of my adult nieces. The house had everything we needed - including coffee if we needed it. (I bought pods for the Keurig but to my surprise, there was a tub of ground coffee in the cupboard.) The bedrooms were clean and spacious, and so were the common areas. The rooms with the bunkbeds were warmer than the rest of the house. Otherwise, no complaints. Would definitely stay again!
