Marlin Madness by RedAwning

Great place to stay with girl friends! A quick walk to the beach! Beautiful home with pool and hot tub!

Marlin Madness is a great house. Conveniently located in Banyan Beach off 11th st. Very roomy and well furnished. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed. Happy with the overall cleanliness. A very short walk over the dunes to the beach. The pool and porches are nice and well furnished.A couple of minor inconveniences during our stay are the only reason for 4 out of 5 stars but would definitely stay again.

We had a range of adults (mid 20s to mid 60s), a toddler, and a preteen and EVERYONE had a great time during our stay!We loved having easy access to the onsite private pool and hot tub. (note: we loved the feature of the door handle out to the pool being out of reach for little ones; it was probably 6 feet high). We opted out of heating the hot tub as it was an extra 100 tax/day fee, but it was not needed mid-July. Our 3-year-old actually liked it a lot because it was like her own private little pool. We also loved having the pool almost completely shaded by the floor above. This way, the kids still got to play in the water once we were all sunned out at the beach.It was a fun vibe with all the houses backing up to each other and most of them have pools with kids, too, so everyone was out back having a great time. This is a great space with plenty of sleeping arrangements for groups of friends or large families. We also didn't even feel the need to rent a golf cart. You'd only really benefit from one if you plan to go into town frequently, but if you just plan to stay at the house or go to the beach only - you're set!The only things that I would say were cons were:-For how many this house accommodates, we did not feel the amenities matched - the kitchen utensils and blankets were a bit sparse-The floors were so dirty our feet were black-They offer a few extra pillows, but no cases and the beds weren't very comfortableOverall, a great stay and would return!

This place is beautiful. The heated pool and hot tub are the perfect mix of covered and sun. You are just a short walk from the beach and a short commute to town. We will definitely be renting this place again.

Great house! The open kitchen and dining area were perfect for gathering, and there was plenty of space for our large family to sleep comfortably. Having a pool was a huge bonus—we could enjoy the beach until the adults were ready for some shade, then let the little ones swim while we relaxed nearby. I do wish we had opted to heat the pool, since it got a little chilly later in the day when the sun wasn’t out. We were also glad we didn’t rent a golf cart—the walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the boardwalk took us through a beautiful sea of sunflowers. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay again. Thanks, Marlin Madness!

The house was as expected, lots of room for our group. The porches and pool area were great. We loved how close we were to the beach, just a short walk over the boardwalk. The rental company was very quick to respond to any questions and came right away when the heat went out. Thanks for a fun week!

House was very spacious, we enjoyed our stay. My only complaint would be that the water in the hot tub and pool located on the back porch of the house was not very clean, could use a cleaning treatment.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The house has everything you need. They include a few laundry pods, dishwasher pods, 2 paper towel rolls, and some trash bags, which was all really great. The layout of the house is nice. The pictures didn’t really explain it well...but it has a nice layout. The bottom floor has 3 rooms and two bathrooms. The 2nd floor has the living area and the master bedroom with a very large bathroom, and a half bath. The 3rd floor has the bunk room with a bathroom. The elevator was very nice to have for coolers and luggage! Oh, it also has a washer and dryer on the bottom, and second floor. Beds were comfy enough.A few cons: if you get a golf cart, you have to drive a 3ish minute drive (on a main road)...you can’t take the walk over bridge with the cart. Also, the mosquitos in the pool area were out of control. I know this is somewhat out of their control, but we couldn’t even use the pool (in August). We attempted it and came out with so many bites, even with bug spray. I guess because it’s completely shaded. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The issue was with the water temperature of the pool. The heater wasn't turned off so the water temp of the pool was 104 degrees. Maintenance came to shut the heater but the water didn't get below 90 degrees. For as much as we had to pay for the rental I feel that this shouldn't of happened. I felt the water temp of two houses down and the water was cool and refreshing. We wanted a private pool but never anticipated the water temp to be this warm.

Everything was as we were told they would be and as we expected. Beautiful, clean and well taken care of and only a short walk to the beach. We had a great experience with the Marling Madness home and the manager and supporting staff were great and quickly handled any issue we had. We had an issue with the pool heating, but we were quickly refunded for the expense with no problem. As we told the manager when we checked out, we would be happy to recommend the properties to anyone interested in a great vacation location!

Highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience!

I'm a vacation rental owner myself, and I was impressed with the home itself. There was some cleanliness issues with sand covering the floor so I had to request a broom to clean it, my 1 year old grandson ended up finding a used eye contact to, so that was pretty bad to see too.

It took only a few minutes to walk to the beach. Loved the dining table that fit all 9 of us! Even though the other houses were very close, everyone was very respectful. It was also very close to places we ventured out to like Virginias on the Bay, Port A Beer Hut, and The Candy Shop.

Location is great. Really enjoyed the pool. Close to the beach. Kitchen needed 9 x 13 dishes. Numerous paint chips throughout the house. Stains on dining room chairs. Metal bed frame taped. Washer dirty. Under kitchen sinks dirty. Tears on leather sofa and chairs. Lots of bird droppings near door entrance

This house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and impeccably clean—perfect for the whole family! It exceeded all our expectations and was exactly as advertised. We will definitely be returning!

We really did enjoy our stay. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The spa and pool were a plus. I really liked that it was close to the beach and we had a board walk close to the our rental. I would definitely be renting this rental again.

We had a fantastic stay. We especially liked the kitchenette on 1st floor which worked out perfectly for my son and new baby! The kitchen was great! The huge table was perfect for our large family. Close access to beach by golfcart and boardwalk to beach. Hopefully we can stay again next year! Thank you!

The management was very accommodating for extra towels and hot tub temperature. Unfortunately, we did have some confusion with the parking passes and got a parking ticket for parking on the beach without the 12 permit that needed to be purchased at the store …our faults but I do wish that it was made clearer that the permits given with the house are not for the beach Great house highly recommend.

Very relaxing! Great location and set up for our family. We had a few problems but got great response and resolve.

My son’s birthday is in December and never has an outdoor party. So this year we did a 1/2 birthday and came to Port A with some of his friends and another family. To say the house was amazing is an understatement. Super clean, super beautiful! The only issue was the door code didn’t work and they were there to fix it within 10 mins. Just a short walk to the beach. Would highly recommend and definitely will stay here again!

This was a very nice place to stay. We had a close distance to the beach and entertainment. Very clean and the process was easy to check in and out. Definitely recommend.

Great place to stay with girl friends! A quick walk to the beach! Beautiful home with pool and hot tub!
