Family friendly with full anemities ie towels, family board games, pool noodles, ping pong, etc. etc. There was always something to do. I absolutely loved the wall of hats and rolled up towels for a quick trip to the beach. Plenty of room for our children and grandchildren to gather for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Out door swings, shower and area was very relaxing. The communication & fun was non stop. Allowing me (wife) to have the best birthday ever! ##### Hugo E.

Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just What We Needed The property was very nice, the owner kept in touch throughout the process, from booking to checking in and finally regarding questions on the golf carts. We were so lucky, he was a very kind & polite person. I looked on Vrbo for a while for a location that met all my needs: sufficient parking, bunk beds, square footage, location from beach, and especially a pool. The Darlin Marlin was it. The only heads up for the owner would be the back stairs as they are a little wonky, & the lever to the gate for the stairs snagged a couple of my friends. Luckily they were able to shake it off & forgot about it ;) Thank you for everything. Cheers. ##### Cynthia P. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patti E. Mar 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise at the beach We stayed at this property with our daughter and her family and our dogs. Could not have worked out any better!! Everyone will remember this vacation for a long time. Accommodations were perfect for our group and the owner responded very quickly to any questions I had. Rented a golf cart which the grandchildren loved and went on a dolphin tour and saw many many dolphins. After exhausting days I collapsed into the most comfortable king bed in the master suite. Slept the best I have in months. The grandchildren loved the pool more than the beach. Thank you Keith for providing a safe, clean, fun home to make our memories special. ##### Patti E. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trey L., Boerne, TX Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AWESOME PLACE! The overall experience was awesome! So many good things to say about the house and the owner! Keith is a great host and very responsive. House is a short walk around the corner from a golf cart rental place so that was convenient. Driveway has lots of space for parking. I have a 24’ boat and was able to park in the driveway without hanging out in the street. Very nice size house that has plenty of room and comfortable beds! The new Texan corner store is right by the house so it was nice and convenient for quick runs. The pool was really nice to be able to relax after fishing! Great experience and can’t wait to get back down there and book again! ##### Trey L.
