The house was perfect for my family and dogs. Everything about the house was amazing. It was really nice to have everyone in under one roof instead of spread out.

Highly recommend!
This house is beautiful! Fully updated with beautiful views of the ocean and direct access to the beach. The great room was plenty large enough for our group of friends to hang out. The house was very clean and the kitchen had all of the amenities needed to cook for a large group of people. Plenty of parking for 7 cars. Location was perfect - a few steps walk from the back deck to the sandy beach; less than a 10 min drive to the grocery store. The hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. Would absolutely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again. This home never disappoints as a location to work and enjoy family. Strong Wi-Fi and many charging sockets around the house. The brightness of the home is the best. Additionally, the property stands out for its top-of-the-line cleanliness. Every nook is impeccably maintained, contributing to a sense of well-being and comfort during our stay. The generous space throughout the home ensures everyone can find their own corner of peace or gather comfortably in communal areas. The seating arrangements, both indoors and out, are thoughtfully designed, facilitating everything from casual lounging to formal dining. This home truly marries functionality with style, making every moment of our stay delightful.

Amazing!!!!
We just got back from our amazing stay and the house is beautiful! It worked perfectly for my sister’s Emerald Isle Wedding. There were 4 couples and we all had great bedrooms. We had so much space that we never felt crowded and views on the top floor were just as pictured in the listing. It was a great meeting place for hair and makeup for the bridesmaids and for the trolley to pick up the bridal party before the wedding. The house is fully stocked both inside and out. It’s also a perfect location with restaurants and shops near by. We definitely look forward to booking The Blue Marlin in the future! I really can’t say enough good things about this house (and it’s right on the beach).
