Beautiful, clean and well taken care of and only a short walk to the beach. We had a great experience with the Marling Madness home and the manager and supporting staff were great and quickly handled any issue we had. We had an issue with the pool heating, but we were quickly refunded for the expense with no problem. As we told the manager when we checked out, we would be happy to recommend the properties to anyone interested in a great vacation location! ##### Keith R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly B.

So this year we did a 1/2 birthday and came to Port A with some of his friends and another family. To say the house was amazing is an understatement. Super clean, super beautiful! The only issue was the door code didn’t work and they were there to fix it within 10 mins. Just a short walk to the beach. Would highly recommend and definitely will stay here again! ##### Kelly B.

Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The house has everything you need. They include a few laundry pods, dishwasher pods, 2 paper towel rolls, and some trash bags, which was all really great. The layout of the house is nice. The pictures didn’t really explain it well...but it has a nice layout. The bottom floor has 3 rooms and two bathrooms. The 2nd floor has the living area and the master bedroom with a very large bathroom, and a half bath. The 3rd floor has the bunk room with a bathroom. The elevator was very nice to have for coolers and luggage! Oh, it also has a washer and dryer on the bottom, and second floor. Beds were comfy enough.A few cons: if you get a golf cart, you have to drive a 3ish minute drive (on a main road)...you can’t take the walk over bridge with the cart. Also, the mosquitos in the pool area were out of control. I know this is somewhat out of their control, but we couldn’t even use the pool (in August). We attempted it and came out with so many bites, even with bug spray. I guess because it’s completely shaded. Overall, it was a great place to stay. ##### A guest from Houston, TX ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Grapevine.h1906487.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin At The Woodlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Westin-At-The-Woodlands.h13173066.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-DFW-Lakes-Executive-Conference-Center.h6039.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cottages.d11178-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Lewisville Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Lewisville-Dallas.h45970429.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Grand Cayman](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Cayman-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602874-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Staybridge Suites London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-London.h1710811.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-The-Westin-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Airport.h1653.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Frisco-Hotel.h18919478.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Oyster Bay - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Excellence-Oyster-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h19647353.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Hawaii.d213.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport - Adjacent to Terminal C](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-DFW.h22022.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Stoney Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Stoney-Creek-Hamilton-Hotels.0-n59255-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hyatt DFW - Connected to the airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-DFW.h1209294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Port of Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Of-Miami-Hotels.0-l6125791-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Houston-Airport-Marriott-At-George-Bush-Intercontinental.h22967.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Antonio-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h2841775.Hotel-Information) > > [AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-ATT-Hotel-Conference-Center-At-The-University-Of-Texas.h2169414.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Richardson](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dallas-Richardson.h18234.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/puj/vancouver-to-punta-cana) > > [Alaska Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Alaska-Airlines-Flights.cAS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) ### General > [Visit Port Severn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Severn.dx6265981)
