We had a wonderful time at Blue Marlin Bungalow.

Can't say enough good about Blue Marlin Bungalow. Had great quality both indoors(kitchen, beds, baths, living spaces exquisite) and with the pool and dock (we did a bit of fishing off it for catfish and palmetto snappers plus got a bonus sea trout. Nothing but top score on Darla's responsiveness for minor questions. The pool with its efficient cover heats in a couple of hours from 78 to 88 for any cool days. Patio setup is awesome for relaxing. Grill is high quality. The location is on a wonderful quiet street/beautiful neighborhood. Struggling to find something to criticize. Love the closeness to Holmes Beach and to nice restaurants on the Manatee River -- Riverhouse Waterfront, Mattison's Riverwalk and Pier 22. Overall a perfect place to stay and explore the beaches up and down Florida's Gulf Coast from Fort De Soto, down to Long Boat Key, Siesta Key and Boca Grande.

Blue Marlin Bungalow exceeded our expectations, the home was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our two week stay. Our host was very responsive with any questions we had, always a quick response. Check in was super easy, I would definitely recommend this property!

This is a beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood. We stayed there with two other couples, all of us in our 70’s. There are security cameras, which is expected. However, be prepared to feel like you’re being constantly watched and monitored by the owner!
