"Finding Marlin" is centrally located in a mostly year-round quiet residential neighborhood a short 15-minute walk, with light and crosswalk, to public beach access. We are one block from the sound side multi-use path. (Spectacular sunsets!) There are 3 restaurants, a coffee shop, and a shop with ice cream within walking or biking distance. We provided a beach cart and some chairs for your use. The house has 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. We have a large backyard with a privacy fence. The backyard features an in-ground pool and (above-ground) hot tub, outdoor shower, and firepit. The pool is open from mid-April- mid- October . Actual open and closing dates are set with the weather patterns. If you are renting in April or October, and the pool is an amenity you would want, please inquire as to the status before booking. The hot tub is available year-round.

Enjoy privacy and fun with our beautiful in-ground pool and hot tub in our fenced-in, private backyard. The hot tub is open year-round. The pool (not heated) is open from the middle of April until October sometime, depending on the weather patterns.

"Finding Marlin" is in a mostly residential/second home neighborhood with light and crosswalk to cross the main "highway" between us and the beach access. This is a very safe but busy neighborhood full of year-round residents as well as vacationers, dogs, and children. Walk and bike on the paved public, multi-use path that runs along the sound side with gazebos and public accesses.

The beach is a 15-minute walk or 8-10 minute bike ride to the nearest public beach access with light and crosswalk across the main road and lifeguard station in season. Or, better yet, rent a golf cart to use for your stay! The neighborhood is perfect for it, and you will see many residents and visitors with them. Putt-putt, go-carts, a produce stand, ice cream, a coffee shop, and several restaurants are located within walking or biking distance.

The pool opens in the middle of April and closes in October depending on forecasted temps. The hot tub is available year-round. Please let us know when booking and we will schedule service before your check-in.



TVs are smart TVs with streaming only. There is no live cable tv in the house.

We supply handsoap, dish soap, laundry detergent, trash bags, the first roll of paper towels and toilet paper in each bathroom. Guests are responsible for further paper product needs.

Please inquire or book with the ACTUAL total number of guests who will be staying at the house when booking. If the total number of guests changes at any time, please let us know so we have an accurate idea of how many people will be staying in the house.

The house is family-friendly but is not childproof. You are responsible for appropriate safety precautions for your children.

Pool and lawn service vendors are independent contractors. They provide services at their own schedule and may come on to the property (outside only) from time to time during your stay. Please do NOT lock the gate to the backyard.

If you use the grill, please clean it for the next guests before your departure. If you use a propane tank or one runs out during your stay, please let us know so we can be sure to replenish for the next guests.
