Wonderful Family Vacation

Stunning views and beach access. House was very beautifully decorated and well equipped. Kitchen could benefit with more cubbies/ shelves for pantry items. Beds were all very comfortable. Wonderful supply of beach chairs. We will definitely stay again!

Amazing Beach Experience

We LOVED our stay at this beach house! We had a large group of friends, all with kids under 4. The beach front was amazing and the house was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. Communication was quick and helpful. We hope to stay here again next year!

above average beach property

Was about everything one could expect. The only thing that could have made it better would have been the living space on the second rather than third floor, lots of stair climbing.

Great experience

This was our first visit to Emerald Isle, and we really enjoyed our stay. We needed to contact the homeowners a few times over minor things, and they were very responsive. The house was clean, and the layout worked perfectly for our group of 16 adults. We're looking forward to coming back!

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
