We had wasps trying to make homes on the deck and someone was over immediately to handle it. Plenty of room for a family of 6, the pool and outdoor space is private and relaxing. My only “complaint” if you even want to call it that, is that the beaches weren’t far but there was not an easy and comfortable way to walk to them with 4 young kids as the main road is 5 busy lanes and parking was limited. Overall, this place was stunning and we would stay again. ##### Tina G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie T.

I couldn’t believe the amount of things they had stocked up in this home for our vacation…..from the beach chairs, the beach umbrellas, outdoor kids toys, boogie boards, tons of board games, basketballs… it was a perfect vacation! We loved the corn hole boards to play after a day at the beach while lounging around the pool or hot tub! It was a cozy & very clean home! Highly recommend walking over to the sound to see the sunsets during your stay! We met Greg when we checked in and he was very nice. We used the beach access on E Herman Blvd, plenty of parking and only a 2 minute drive! Walking across the main road (Croatian highway) seemed to be a bit dangerous with our young Children so we drove to that beach access each day! Overall it was a wonderful stay!

There were tons of beach stuff at the house like umbrellas, beach chairs and floats that we loved using. ##### Alexis L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane R.

We enjoyed the hot tub and the firepit out back and cooked several dinners in the fully stocked kitchen. The owners were very responsive when needed and the house is well located/close to everything needed for a week's stay. ##### Diane R. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle D. Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The amount of extras in this rental is incomparable. I’ve never had so many extra blankets, multiple baby gates to keep our 3 year old safe on the 3rd floor, multiple dressers, all the utensils, pots, pans, a plethora of spices, a pack n play, laundry and dishwasher detergent, paper towels and toilet paper (esp since our instacart was a day late!), and much more made our stay easy and stress free! We were in the pool and hottub every single day and enjoyed the multiple outdoor chairs!! It was so nice to have a place to have the kids enjoy when the riptide was a little too rough!! The house was clean and provided a wonderful place for our family to relax and spend a week in paradise together! Thank you! ##### Danielle D.

This property is as described. We had a blast staying there. Pool, hot tub and corn hole was our family favorite’s. Thank you for making booking, staying checking in and out convenient. We had a great time! Shawn McCorkle and Family ##### Shawn M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricardee F.

I wouldn't walk to the beach from here, you have to cross a highway to get there where the speed limit is 50 mph. It's way fine though, easier to drive with everything we wanted to take to the beach. We would definitely stay again. ##### Ricardee F. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah K.

It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. The pool was perfect to hang out in after heating up at the beach. We didn’t use the hot tub much since it was such a hot and humid week, but it was very relaxing when we did use it. Annette and Greg were great hosts. We recommend this house for your family vacation. ##### Sarah K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarid R. Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So glad we found Marlin! The house was absolutely amazing for our family. We spent hours every day relaxing at the pool. The pool/hot tub was very clean and kid friendly. It accommodated our 2, 6 and 14 year olds perfectly. House was extremely clean and well stocked with anything you would ever need. Plenty of games and rec for the kids. It was a six minute drive to public beach access in Kitty Hawk with showers, lots of parking and life guard stand. Nice walking area around the sound. Extremely quiet neighborhood. A/C works wonderfully. It's a stones throw from Food Lion, Target, tons of restaurants and gift shops. It's the absolute perfect beach home for a family get away. Will definitely book again in the future! ##### Jarid R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kara B. Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay! The home is located in a lovely community. It was quiet and peaceful our entire stay. My daughters and I took a walk on the path mentioned in the listing. It’s great if you’re like me and crave a morning walk or run. The path has public spaces along it with nice views of the water. The home itself was also wonderful of course. I’d suggest the owner replace a few small items that were showing it’s age but nothing too bad. The beds were super comfortable and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and and hot tub. Which someone serviced as soon as we arrived and when we were leaving so I felt confident in the cleanliness. Home was well stocked and conveniently located to the beach, public playground, shopping, and restaurants which were all within a short drive. Overall we had a great stay and we look forward to returning! ##### Kara B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin C.

We hadn't gone anywhere during covid, so we were nervous about traveling with our 3 little ones. After getting vaccinated we drove 11 hours pretty last minute to this cute spot. This house was a perfectly clean and decorated beach home for us and our 3 kiddos to spend the week. It was stocked with everything we needed to spend the week. Annette was so responsive to my million questions never having been to the area. The pool was perfect even in April for our kids who are from the North. They spent the week back and forth from pool to hot tub! The location is in a quiet neighborhood - they loved the book box at the end of the street, the bike/walking path along the water and all of the fun little stops along the way. If you are considering a trip to the outer-banks this centrally located spot was great and we highly recommend. Already looking to book a trip back because we miss it already! ##### Kristin C.

Oct 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful October weekend in KDH From first contact to last Annette and Greg were wonderful. Booking was easy for our long weekend with our family of 5\. The house is great, lots of room and wonderful balconies from most all rooms, and a really quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed sitting on the large back deck and watching the kids play in the pool. Pristine and spacious yard, Great pool, hot tub, fire pit, gas grill and everything worked well. House was stocked with everything we needed and lots of extras like pac n play, beach cart, beach chairs, sports gear, board games and many movies to choose from. Location was great, 1 block from the running/bike trail. We opted to drive the .5 mile to the beach and found Hayman public access with ample parking and outdoor showers to be most convenient. Only small comment we would make for the house is more kitchen towels and maybe a better coffee maker and grinder for coffee snobs like us ;). We hope to return soon! ##### Brian M.

Aug 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect setup for our pod Finding Marlin is a great place to spend an OBX vacation. Located just a block off the sound, the property is convenient for both sunrises and sunsets. Check-in was a breeze, as was communication with the owners who are about as kind as you can ask for. Being a beach house, we assumed it would have the usual "it'll do" features (we have become accustomed to bringing our own kitchen knives and can openers). What a pleasant surprise to find not one but two sets of SHARP knives, cookware in excellent condition, great furniture, and cushy beds! And the pool & hot tub were in A+++ working order. We may have shouted a bit too loudly while hot tubbing it because it was at the height of the Perseids, and man, what a show! I'm honestly sitting here trying to think of anything wrong with the place, and the only thing I can think of is that it would be great to have a mini-fridge in the ground level room for easy access to cold beverages while enjoying the pool. Clearly, I'm reaching. The place is darn near perfect. We will happily stay at Finding Marlin again, if they'll have us! ##### Catherine A.
