Blue Marlin | Charming Condo by the Sea

the kitchen set up was nice, the layout of the condo used the room available very well.

The unit was spaceous and full kitchen, nice view looking out front door to beach, but had to call for housekeeping first day to come clean; thick dust on ceiling fan in bedroom, black mold spot over fridge they werent able to clean, looked like blood stain on shower curtain. Ceiling fan/ light in living room did work.Tub wouldnt drain so my husband had to get screwdriver to clean ot drain. Website didnt show full consruction of very large resort going on beside the place, the sofa bed was so extremely hard no amount of blankets helped pad it,and its not enough room for two people,so not restful.

My experience at this property was overall unsatisfactory. While the listing didn’t mention it, there was major construction starting at 6 AM right next door, which made it very difficult to rest or relax. This should have been disclosed.There was also no air conditioning for an entire day during extremely hot weather (around 90F), and I had to leave the property to find a cooler place to spend the day. No alternative solution was provided by VRBO or the property manager, which was frustrating.The internet connection was spotty at times, though the property manager was responsive about it—however, I still had to deal with the property management office directly.The only real positive was the location—it’s conveniently close to the beach.Given the issues, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless these problems are addressed or clearly communicated in advance.

It's an older bldg and needs some upkeep. The shower head leaked, and got replaced, so good for next guests. The ac went out for a day, and the fans did OK to make it manageable. We replaced the pillows, quick trip to Walmart fixed that. Location is great, and easy to get around. Dining at local pubs and restaurants made the trip really nice.

Great place to stay. I have recommended it to others already
