Wonderful property steps from the beach

Wonderful property literally steps from the beach. Despite being the 2nd property beach side, it's still like being right on the beach. There were many beach towels, 4 beach chairs and a beach umbrella that we used every day. The design of the beach umbrella/tent was a very easy design to put up. Quick trips back to the house for a restroom break, a quick snack, or lunch. The elevator is helpful. Worked great upon arrival when hauling a lot but if you were a person with limited ability to do stairs it could be a frustrating stay. The decor is very nice, the kitchen is stocked with enough pans, kitchen utensils, etc. View is beautiful. Beds are comfortable. We had 4 adults no small children. (Kids without ability to do stairs could be kind of tough). Good location with plenty of places to eat. We would stay again.

Nice Location with Great Ocean and Bay Views

We enjoyed our week at The Great Marlin. The beds a comfortable and the decks off each floor are great for relaxing, while enjoying the ocean and bay views. The house is set-up for guest to have space for social time or to get away and read a book. Very nicely decorated.

Bachelorette weekend

Stayed here with a group of girls for a bachelorette weekend. The home was perfect for what we were looking for. The view is stunning and you truly couldn’t get closer to the beach. There are also multiple restaurants and bars along the home is off of which was nice. The home was clean and had basic necessities and kitchen items. It also had beach items and a grill that we could not access due to a broken lock. We contacted Vacasa and kept getting either AI generated responses or a service agent with no knowledge of how to help. Their communication was horrible. I called Thursday about the issue when we checked in and continued to call as I was not given a straight response about the issue and how we could access the items. We ended up buying beach items that we had to leave because no one told us when it would be fixed. It eventually got fixed on our last full day with no notification that someone was coming. Worst customer service/communication I have seen in a rental, I can’t imagine if we would’ve had a bigger issue how it would have gone.

Review

Overall it was good. Disappointed because we were told the code for the beach chairs and toys was the same as the door and it was not. Had to go buy those things. Also, the toilet on 3rd floor doesn’t work correctly. Would be nice to have chairs tall enough on the top balcony to actually see over the railing. Thanks

Close to a Chill Beach

Lovely, well appointed and bright house with ocean views even though it's not directly on the beach. You're so close you don't need to bother with shoes when you walk out to the beach and the beach itself has a nice chill vibe. Very comfortable overall. The area itself didn't wow us with restaurant options but there are a couple good ones and the kitchen is well stocked to make coffee and food at home. They also had several games in the closet which was appreciated! We would stay again.

Great times!

House is great. Location to beach was great. For the price especially. 1-2 minute walk to the water was nice. Especially with the kids. The mornings waking up catching the sunrise over the harbor and the evenings catching the sunset over the ocean was great! All from the fourth floor balcony. The 4th floor tv was on the fritz. Being the “mingling” floor of the property, including the kitchen and dining room table, along with that incredible view from the balcony, the tv not working was kinda a downer. Only because we missed out on the NCAA tournament games. Other than that the tv would not have been an issue. And this doesn’t take away from the overall quality and management of the property the slightest. The property management was more than helpful in communication on any things that popped up throughout our stay. Elevator was clutch. Just make sure all access doors and entry gates to the elevator are completely closed when not using. Couple times the kids would leave a door or gate open on the 2 nd floor and when you would call for the elevator on the 4th it wouldn’t come. Which is a testament to the safety features of the elevator. Great for transporting luggage, groceries, older folks, and great for the vacation lazy we all so much desire. Great touch. Clean, plenty of room, beach gear in the storage. Only gripe was nearest ice cream parlors, convenience stores, etc were not with in decent walking distance. No biggie though. Loved every second staying here. Thanks!!

Fabulous place

Fabulous house with numerous amenities. Different floors/levels nice so family members/friends have some privacy. Beds v comfortable and entire place nicely and comfortably decorated. At the same time - FOUR floors - there is an elevator but it is slow and somewhat temperamental. I would not recommend to those who struggle with mobility. Taking elevator every time to get to the kitchen etc could get kind of annoying. Also house not directly on beach. There is a nice view from comfy 4th floor veranda - but also a view of parking lot. Next door neighbour is wedding reception building. So u know. All in all worked well for our family of 5.

Holiday stay

The location was great. Steps away from the beach. House was clean on arrival and had plenty of kitchen equipment and beach equipment. The unit is 4 floors and has an elevator but it wasn’t working on our arrival. We contacted the owner right away but no one came to fix it until the day before we left. Two of the three showers were non functional. The place has nice views but I would not rent again given the issues mentioned

Great location for beach lovers

The location of the house was amazing. The beach was steps away and the deck was wonderful for sunsets and happy hour. We were there for my sisters 60th and we had more than enough space for the four of us. We highly reccomend you go to Salt Rock Grill for dinner and ask to seat in Maggies section. The food was amazing and Maggie is by far one of the best waitresses we have ever experienced. So much so, that we went back for our last night. The elevator didn't work as well as we had hoped. In fact, on check out day we couldn't get it to work at all. There are a TON of steps in this house, so having the elevator is a must - especially if you have an older person joining you. I also wish there wer e better check in and check out instructions. We had no idea where to place our garbage and recycling and it wasn't very clear on what we needed to do to check out properly. Such as empty the fridge or wash the linens etc. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed the house.

Great spaces for all!

Great access to the beach. Perfect spaces for all those who travelled with us. The master suit was perfect for my husband who was recovering from a surgery. The kids had a great time with the games and coloring supplies. Plenty of beach toys, towels, life jackets, and a wagon to drag all the stuff to the beach. Be prepared to bring all your own spices/seasonings , coffee, etc…none of that is provided. Overall it was perfect for our trip and met all expectations.

Great Family Vacation

The house was immaculately clean and very nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. While the house has an elevator, it was very slow so we often just used the steps to go from one floor to the next, so lots of step climbing (four floors). The elevator was great, though, we when loaded in everything on our check in date and check out date. The layout of the house was great for our family as everyone had plenty of space and their own bathrooms. The washer and dryer worked well and was conveniently located. Great location especially for kids and families who bring their own beach tents and chairs as the beach is so close and there is a place to secure your beach equipment inside the first-floor storage area. The view from the balconies was great as you could see the gulf, the inlet, the draw bridge and beautiful sunsets. Restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, activities, and retail stores were a short drive away. The outside shower was a great convenience as was having parking space in the covered carport.
