Blue Marlin is our favorite rental at the OBX and has it ALL!! Elevator, hot tub, jacuzzi, gorgeous tiled bathrooms, gas fireplace, the best game room on the OBX and a theater and sauna. Multiple refrigerators and dishwashers and all top notch upgraded appliances. And you cannot get any closer to the beach…spectacular view. Snowbird across the street with Dole Whip and Surfin’ Spoon a block away. We call Blue Marlin our “home away from home”. The staff are very responsive to any need. They supplied extra blankets at our request and sent someone quickly to get the fireplace going for us. We’ve rented through other realtors and didn’t fare as well. I’m bad with names but the housekeeping manager was awesome.

Our family ranged in age from 12 to 80. My husband and I (80) really appreciated the great shower, the elevator, and the wonderful location. So many King beds with baths were perfect. The kitchen was well-appointed and the teens loved the rec room. Thank you for a great vacation.

Spacious with large bedrooms and private baths. Large common areas. Very nice pool that we heated for our stay. Very easy access to the beach compared to other places we have stayed in the area. The elevator was a definite plus for seniors and an amputee military veteran.

Layout of house plan excellent for large families. (We had two toddlers that needed their own quiet space for naps and sleep schedules.). Gorgeous beach area-watched numerous pods of dolphins. Location perfect for total beach experience with easy access to shopping/restaurants if desired.

It is a beautiful house that has everything. Plenty of space and more than ample entertainment areas. It allows multiple families to enjoy without being too cramped.
