Absolutely fabulous stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a gorgeous property! Our rental was an absolute perfect space for our family of four. The space was impeccable clean, well-stocked and beautifully furnished. Everything that we needed was available to us without any request. The staff at Marlin Bay was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The pool and marina grounds were in comparison to an exclusive resort. If there was food available on the grounds, it would have been 100% perfect!

Make this place 18 and over....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation was good but several things have gone down hill since the last time we stayed there, this was our third visit the last one we stayed for 6 weeks. This was a different unit and it needs updating, wall paper was falling off in bathroom, house smelled musty and the noise upstairs from the fan and air conditioning was extremely loud. It seems the pool was not cleaned as often as prior visits, debris from trees all over seating and in the pool As for the the overall experience this was the worst only due to the fact all the kids that were there, this place should be 18 and over, if we wanted to go and listen to screaming kids or pool toys all over and kids in the hot tub all day we would of gone to Hawks Cay in Duck Key. I would hope that this will be addressed , we talked to several people, some we new from prior visits and they were all disappointed in the number of kids and we all are going to shop around at other locations next time if changes to policy are not done

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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 overall property is very nice;however,being called a resort property I would expect to be able to order food while at the pool. Also, the sauna remains closed because of COVID. This no excuse, the vaccine has been available for months and at this price point all amenities should be open for use.

A week in the Keys

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This home was very good and the place was well equipped with good quality pots, pans and everything needed. the resort was quiet and there is nowhere to ea. The policy of not allowing outside guests was a bit stupid and if come by boat there is nowhere to park a rental car. Again unreasonable.

Amazing Even to Critics Like Us

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: Marlin Bay exceeded all expectations. The property is spotless, not a dirty window to be found, not a flower out of place. The crew is super meticulous and it shows. The professional way that check in is handled was impressive and the electronic tablet handy. Lots of special touches in the house. Very well accompanied down to BBQ tools and excursion towels. We did not want for a thing. Residence #3820 was stunning with views from every space, Roof top with 180 degrees of the Atlantic. Sunsets were special. Absolutely loved our stay, can't find anything to criticize and we are critics!

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: From start to finish, our vacation was delightful. Upon arriving, our instructions were simple to follow since everything was contactless due to Covid-19. When we entered the house, it was super clean, bright, and welcoming. Fortunately the weather was delightful which made the pool so appealing and refreshing. Every element of the property was immaculate: the house; pool; outdoor seating; the landscaping; and the bar (I highly recommend the mango daquiris).I will be returning and wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying at Marlin Bay to anyone. It has my highest recommendation.
