Only good things to say about this place. Location was good, short walk to the beach. The place itself was excellently landscaped with fun back yard. The decor inside was homey. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

The VRBO was described accurately. however when we got here we found out it was a shared backyard and the provided beach gear was to be shared between both properties Our main issue upon receiving the contract, we were told that we would only be provided with one roll of toilet paper, one trash bag, one dishwasher pod and one tab of laundry detergent for 4 days of stay. We called the management company to ask if we could receive additional supplies and was given pushback. Upon further insistence, we were finally given additional supplies. When spending large amounts of money to stay somewhere, having to argue with the management company for supplies is not acceptable. To the owners of the property, please consider switching to a different management company

Hi, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you were not happy with the starter items we leave for our guests. We try to get people started so that the are set when they check in for a few days and have a chance to go to the store to get what is needed. A lot of times, supplies are left from the previous guest, and I apologize that this was not the case when you checked in. I'm happy to hear that our team brought you extras. We truly hope that you enjoyed our beautiful island and had a good time while you were here. The Salty Marlin is in a great location, beautifully decorated and on a canal which is a very peaceful setting. Thank you, AML
