Wonderful property steps from the beach

Wonderful property literally steps from the beach. Despite being the 2nd property beach side, it's still like being right on the beach. There were many beach towels, 4 beach chairs and a beach umbrella that we used every day. The design of the beach umbrella/tent was a very easy design to put up. Quick trips back to the house for a restroom break, a quick snack, or lunch. The elevator is helpful. Worked great upon arrival when hauling a lot but if you were a person with limited ability to do stairs it could be a frustrating stay. The decor is very nice, the kitchen is stocked with enough pans, kitchen utensils, etc. View is beautiful. Beds are comfortable. We had 4 adults no small children. (Kids without ability to do stairs could be kind of tough). Good location with plenty of places to eat. We would stay again.

Nice Location with Great Ocean and Bay Views

We enjoyed our week at The Great Marlin. The beds a comfortable and the decks off each floor are great for relaxing, while enjoying the ocean and bay views. The house is set-up for guest to have space for social time or to get away and read a book. Very nicely decorated.

Great house for a family event.

Great location has a view of the beach and a short path to the beach but not ocean front. Loved the house and the elevator is essential. Clean and ready for us and had all the necessary items for cooking etc.

Great beachfront getaway

Needed weekend accommodations while attending an event in St. Petersburg, and this property more than fit the bill. It's a little tricky getting to (blink and you'll go right past the driveway), but worth it. Property was in very good condition, with great views of both the intracoastal and Gulf of Mexico. Plenty of nearby options for dining. Our group really enjoyed it!

Close to a Chill Beach

Lovely, well appointed and bright house with ocean views even though it's not directly on the beach. You're so close you don't need to bother with shoes when you walk out to the beach and the beach itself has a nice chill vibe. Very comfortable overall. The area itself didn't wow us with restaurant options but there are a couple good ones and the kitchen is well stocked to make coffee and food at home. They also had several games in the closet which was appreciated! We would stay again.

Great spaces for all!

Great access to the beach. Perfect spaces for all those who travelled with us. The master suit was perfect for my husband who was recovering from a surgery. The kids had a great time with the games and coloring supplies. Plenty of beach toys, towels, life jackets, and a wagon to drag all the stuff to the beach. Be prepared to bring all your own spices/seasonings , coffee, etc…none of that is provided. Overall it was perfect for our trip and met all expectations.

Review

Overall it was good. Disappointed because we were told the code for the beach chairs and toys was the same as the door and it was not. Had to go buy those things. Also, the toilet on 3rd floor doesn’t work correctly. Would be nice to have chairs tall enough on the top balcony to actually see over the railing. Thanks

Holiday stay

The location was great. Steps away from the beach. House was clean on arrival and had plenty of kitchen equipment and beach equipment. The unit is 4 floors and has an elevator but it wasn’t working on our arrival. We contacted the owner right away but no one came to fix it until the day before we left. Two of the three showers were non functional. The place has nice views but I would not rent again given the issues mentioned
