Beat Our Expectations

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: My family (2 adults, 3 teens) had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless & comfortable for everyone. We loved being steps away from the clubhouse & the pool & the bicycle rental came in handy for us a couple of times. The concierge & bartenders were helpful & pleasant to chat with. A couple of small complaints were that the nonalcoholic frozen drinks were too expensive & we wished the clubhouse & pool had stayed open later. Otherwise, we enjoyed relaxing by the pool & watching the sunset from the picnic tables in the marina. Would stay again!

Great property for families

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: I am actually from Michigan, not sure why it shows I am from San Francisco. This is our second time visiting Marlin Bay Resort and Marina. It’s spacious for a family, and the property is entertaining. The only recommendation is they need to upgrade the coffee cups. They are tiny designer cups that don’t fit the hands very well. I was tempted to go out and buy a souvenir cup just to use for the week. Other than that, the elevator comes in handy because I have a muscular disease that interferes with me walking up and down steps. If you hadn’t noticed, many homes in the keys all have stairs. Luckily these homes have an elevator. Great stay, and we will be back for a 3rd visit.

Great Family Vacation

This was a great unit, on a great property. We had a wonderful time with plenty to do. My 6-year-old loved the gradual depth pool. The only drawbacks was that I thought we would be able to fish around the docks, which we could not and was disappointing to my son. And the pool / hot tub closed at dusk which is limiting for parents that want some alone time.

It was nice for the Location.

I would stay again but it is by the commercial boat yards only issue but gated so not much of a concern. Limited parking so if your vehicle doesn't fit in a garage and you come at a peak time I wouldn't leave my vehicle outside of the gates. Other then that very nice place.
