"My family and I have been coming to Marlin Bay Resort & Marina for the past 3 years. It is absolutely amazing here, not only because of the beautiful views of the sunrise/sunset, but the boat slips and docks are absolutely wonderful. There are no words to describe how wonderfully respectful, over the top helpful, and amazing every single employee is. You can tell they all love their jobs! I absolutely would recommend staying here to anyone who asks." — Jessi
"It isn't often that a place is better in person than online, but that is what my family and I experienced while staying here at Marlin Bay. Everything from cleanliness to functionality was top rate, and if we needed anything the staff were all awesome to deal with. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars! It seems they have it figured out what is needed to make a GREAT vacation... we will definitely be back!" — Paul H.
"This is the perfect family-friendly boutique resort with a heated pool, great for our stay in January 2023. We absolutely loved it! It is a beautiful property with wonderful on-site staff and concierge team. We had an issue with the kitchen faucet and it was fixed immediately. Cyrus and Jayden were especially helpful and responsive, providing great recommendations for our family. Would definitely recommend staying here!" — David & Jamie
"Marlin Bay is a great place to get away. The condos are clean and come with a small additional freezer in the garage you can use to store bait and fish you catch. The staff are great. The local restaurants are very good, and some will even cook the fish you catch. The only complaint would be that you must book a full 7-night stay due to the community regulations. But overall it's an excellent property." — Charles B.
"This place was absolutely beautiful, providing a rooftop deck with water views. The kitchen has everything that you could possibly need. There were a handful of restaurants, shops, and activities so close to the property. Amazing pool area and rec room! The concierge team was very responsive! I would definitely recommend! Also, a good place to watch the sunset/rise right on the water. We stayed in March and it was a great time to be there." — Amanda
"Wow, what a property! The homes are beautifully appointed, private, yet with a sense of community. The property and pool are manicured impeccably! Scott and Kyle (the bartenders) provide an excellent poolside atmosphere. The drinks are top notch, with smoothies for the kids. Allie, Claudine, and Erin were most inviting and accommodating. We will most definitely be returning!" — Anonymous
