Great house, great host, great views!
We had the best long weekend at the Blue Marlin with our group of friends and their families! The location is amazing with direct beach access and really close to the grocery stores! The house is in great condition, has tons of great outdoor space, beautiful living spaces, and a fully stocked kitchen. The kids (all under 7) had a blast as did the adults. And Amy the host is so responsive and helpful! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful location
This house is in a wonderful location and is beautifully decorated! We had an excellent vacation. Our only minor critique would be that it wasn’t particularly clean (specifically the floors hadn’t been mopped recently). Overall we would highly recommend this property!

Excellent Beach House in Emerald Isle
Perfect amount of space for a large group of family (13). House has been recently renovated and came equipped with everything one would need (including beach equipment, etc.) Having parking for 4+ vehicles and a boat on a trailer was also a big plus

Highly recommend!
This house is beautiful! Fully updated with beautiful views of the ocean and direct access to the beach. The great room was plenty large enough for our group of friends to hang out. The house was very clean and the kitchen had all of the amenities needed to cook for a large group of people. Plenty of parking for 7 cars. Location was perfect - a few steps walk from the back deck to the sandy beach; less than a 10 min drive to the grocery store. The hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect beach house for a large group!
The quirky front belies what the rest of the house holds! Clean open spaces, plenty of beautiful beach-accessible and private rooms, large and well-stocked kitchen, living and dining room comfortable seating for a crowd, large decks with beautiful view seating, oversized windows with spectacular views, and the easiest accessibility to the beach, with an outdoor shower to remove the sand. It is perfect and we hope to return soon!

Wonderful beach front home!
The home was right on the water and immaculately appointed. It appears the home has been recently updated. The beds were incredibly comfortable and I could live in the super comfy swivel chair in the living room. The home is just steps to the beach. Plenty of space for parking. I would LOVE to return again soon. Can’t say enough good things about this rental! Highly recommend!
