Incredible Property with Outstanding Host

The house and property are even better than the pictures. Kevin made sure we had everything we could think of and even some things we hadn't thought about it. We were able to have a beautiful wedding and I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the house or property.

A Beautiful Time at a Beautiful Place

Eventhough the weather did not cooperate with wind and rain, the Blue Marlin was a great place to stay. It was well stocked with appliances, ammenitities and such. We had a few issues with the ac/heater in the loft, a toilet leak and dishwasher backedup, but Kevin was quick to respond and helpful in getting as many things fixed as possible. The house was located right off the beach front and easy access. The beds were good, sofas was a little older, bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our time thouroghly and hopefully can make it back!

Could not have been more perfect!!

We hosted my daughter's wedding with about 60 guests! Everything was perfect. The house is stunning and everything is labeled so even as your trying to get everything ready (which you have everything right there and more so don't pack too much) in a rush you know where everything is at by all the labels! The loft was perfect for a groom's room! All the tables and chairs were great and more than enough! Kevin was readily available at any moment even in the last 6 months for any questions we might have had. He even proactively reached out when he added even more rental options and again to see if we had any questions within a week of our arrival. If you are looking for a wedding venue on the beach, I promise this will fulfill your dreams!

Quinceñera at the beach

We had a great time with our family to celebrate my daughter turning 15. The house has so much room and plenty of seating. The deck has the perfect view of the beach sunrise and sunset. We had a party of about 100 ppl and there was plenty parking space. Kevin had all the things needed like tables, chairs and coolers. We also rented the golf cart. We all had a great time!
