Great rental with potential to be even better

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home. Would definitely recommend. Unfortunately two of the best balconies were unavailable to us, due to safety. We wished this was shared prior to booking. The TV room only has seating for 3 people, which is weird for a large house. The other seating room is very large but without a TV. Would definitely recommend changing this. As for great things, the plunge pool was deeper than expected and we enjoyed using it. The views from the house are fantastic. The house was very clean and the staff at Marlin Bay are fantastic.

Beautiful and spacious accommodations in a fantastic setting!

This house has beautiful marble floors and spacious rooms with well portioned bathrooms! The small pool downstairs allowed our scuba divers to practice with their equipment. The staff was quite helpful and our weather was perfect!

Fun in the sun

Amazing house in a small resort setting. The pictures don’t do justice to the home. Spacious, well appointed, great beds and linens. All of the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. We had a small private plunge pool but the resort pool was so nice that we hung out in it. Great for little one’s with a beach like entry. Really enjoyed our time.

Markin Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was spacious and well equipped. The house was very clean. The marina is very nice and the main reason we stayed at Marlin Bay again. We did have issues with the third floor shower leaking into the shower directly below it. Maintenance did not do anything to correct the issue. It’s been a problem for a while based on the visible damage on the ceiling. The room closest to the stairs on the third floor doesn’t have a working ceiling fan and was very warm.

Relaxing stay with fantastic views and accommodations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 7 nights and dreamt of forever. Communication is made before arrival and throughout the stay, clear instructions, on contactless entry, and departure. The staff concierge is there for any questions or needs. Great bar by the pool, Chef makes a great drink, would recommend dropping by there. The facilities and the home were top notch, very clean, super friendly and helpful staff, the home has everything you need. Restaurants, food, shopping, and excursions are minutes away. The home is spacious and very clean , has all the amenities . Our plunge pool was rather nice to enjoy, and again the staff was on top of it...one minute i saw palms in the pool, then a short time after we left all the debris from the wind was removed. We will be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Great property with everything you need

We were a group of 2 families, 4 adults, 3 teenagers. Property is absolutely one of our favorites we have rented on VRBO (although if went again would go directly to property manager). Decor is very nice. Very clean. Kitchen well stocked - good pots and pans, sharp knives, tupperware for outings, cutting boards, etc. Nothing we needed that was not there. One bedroom is off of the kitchen so a bit hard for our teenager in the morning. 3 other bedrooms on top floor. Pool on property was great. Loved having bar open 1-7. Employees all super friendly and constantly wiping things down. Prompt responses when called with questions or texts, before and during stay. Only minor thing I would change is unit only has 1 TV in the family room which is adjacent to the kitchen. The couch fits 3 people and there are 6 bar stools. There may have been a TV in master but cannot recall. In late evening when we wanted to watch NCAA tournament games, would have been nice to have a TV in the living room with the big sectional. I love that there were not TVs in kids rooms (not that they watch TV with phones:) Or a TV downstairs on covered patio which we used for dinners 3 nights. Plunge pool was heated which was unexpected and enjoyed by all. 2 car garage has a middle post so tricky to back into. Had a Pacifica minivan and had to fold in side mirrors before could get all the way in. Any kind of big SUV would not fit. There is adjacent parking 20 ft away from front door. Very short walk to Florida Steak & Lobster, Keys Fisheries restaurants. Couple blocks to Keys News and Coffee. Publix 1 mile away. Overall, enjoyed Marathon. Lots to do. One last thing, the marina at sunset was great. There's a resident group of 4 French Angel fish at the end of the dock with the tower. Also group of 10-15 parrot fish that patroled the wall, and a nurse shark. Fun for kids to get some fish feed also on site and feed the fish at sunset every night.

Thank you so much Amy and we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the home and entire property overall! We do have a TV in the Master Bedroom and we will certainly consider adding a TV to the larger of the living rooms as we can understand people may want to congregate there instead of the smaller family room. You are spot on about the garages and how larger vehicles can have a tough time getting into them, but luckily as you mentioned we have overflow parking right next to the homes. We pay close attention to all of the details and are very appreciative of you recognizing and enjoying all the little touches :) We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the very near future!

Plenty of Room & Beautiful View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We brought our boat so the location was great, you could see the boat on the dock right behind the home. We had an issue with the washing machine but they got it replaced on the 4th day of our stay. There were 9 of us in the home and there was plenty of room & lots of space to spread out. There are 2 living rooms, the largest does not have a tv...we didn’t do a ton of tv watching but would suggest one if the larger room for hanging out with the whole group. Also, there is a strange banging noise either the plumbing about every 30 minutes or more frequently if people are showering/flushing toilet, that you can hear in the bedroom's (master & guest) on one side of the house.

Great home, needs new basic cooking amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The resort is very nice, our home was also very nice. Spending the extra month for the waterfront property is worth it. One negative is if you like to cook, the pots, pans, and knives need to be updated. You couldn't even sharpen the knives they are so bad. We didn't have sufficient cookware which was disappointing. One final disappointment is the water main broke in Marathon, affecting the water at the resort. We didn't have water for a full day, couldn't shower, couldn't flush toilets, couldn't wash hands - and because we weren't able to shower that kind of ruined our plans for the day so we had to stick around the resort. I expressed my concern to management, asked for some sort of compensation and they were unwilling to offer any sort of compensation, which is unfortunate given the amount of money we paid to stay there. We were the guests, we were unhappy, sorry it's not our fault doesn't cut it. Get some new pots, pans and knives, and the next time the water main breaks, you're in the business of hospitality - I would recommend at a minimum providing drinking water and at least ensuring your guests are happy and satisfied.

The towels, linens, appliances and furniture are all high-end. The only thing we would like to see is a tv in the larger livingroom. It was difficult to watch tv in the room that has a small sofa that only seats 2-3 people. Everything else about the unit is fantastic!

Marlin bay house

This place was stunning. The views were fabulous. The whole resort was gorgeous Only thing was we couldn’t fit larger cars in the garage. Had to park outside nearby which makes the cars hot. But it was no big deal.
