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.

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!

Beautiful property in the best location on the island
This house was beautiful, clean, well equipped, and located on our absolute favorite part of the island--there is nothing better than coming across the bridge and immediately getting out of check-in traffic by turning onto Coast Guard Road to reach your house! Plus, it's a quick drive to everything from this spot, both on the island and on the main land. We have been coming to Emerald Isle for over 20 years, staying up and down the beach, and this is really the best location. This house is also one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Be aware--it is 3 stories with no elevator, so there is a lot of climbing, but no one in our party has any mobility issues, so it was no problem for us. Our group also loves to do a lot of cooking, and this kitchen had everything we needed for that, but there is no pantry for storage so you may need to be thoughtful about how much "stocking up" you do if you plan to cook. Fortunately, there is a ton of counter space, and we have a mega-organizer in our group, so it worked out fine for us to keep our cooking supplies/snacks organized on the counter tops. Also, the ground floor has an extra fridge, so that came in handy. Communication was very quick and friendly!

Family reunion
The property was a perfect fit for my group. We had 8 adults and 9 kids most under the age of 7. The great room was spectacular and accommodate all of us for dinner time and socializing. Great location, probably 100 feet from the ocean, an easy walk for everyone. The Publix and Food Lion were five minutes away. The bedding was better than most and the kitchen was nicely outfitted. Plenty of parking for easy access to and from the property. The hosts could not have been more helpful. Best vacation we have had since before COVID.

Great stay overall!
We had a very nice stay at the Blue Marlin. The beach is beautiful and the house is right on the beach. The house was clean when we arrived. The layout is nicely planned and each room has a large tv. The decks are very nice but we had several splinters! The master bathroom and bedroom had a slight foul odor the entire week but otherwise were beautiful. The kitchen is odd in that there is no space for food storage but we moved stuff around to make space for the food. There are 2 refrigerators and a beverage fridge between the top and low level kitchens. Overall, it is a wonderful clean house on a beautiful beach!

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!

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again. This home never disappoints as a location to work and enjoy family. Strong Wi-Fi and many charging sockets around the house. The brightness of the home is the best. Additionally, the property stands out for its top-of-the-line cleanliness. Every nook is impeccably maintained, contributing to a sense of well-being and comfort during our stay. The generous space throughout the home ensures everyone can find their own corner of peace or gather comfortably in communal areas. The seating arrangements, both indoors and out, are thoughtfully designed, facilitating everything from casual lounging to formal dining.

Amazing!!!!
We just got back from our amazing stay and the house is beautiful! It worked perfectly for my sister’s Emerald Isle Wedding. There were 4 couples and we all had great bedrooms. We had so much space that we never felt crowded and views on the top floor were just as pictured in the listing. It was a great meeting place for hair and makeup for the bridesmaids and for the trolley to pick up the bridal party before the wedding. The house is fully stocked both inside and out. It’s also a perfect location with restaurants and shops near by. We definitely look forward to booking The Blue Marlin in the future! I really can’t say enough good things about this house (and it’s right on the beach).
