We stayed in 3821. The home is beautiful, comfortable for 6 adults, very clean and well-maintained. Bedrooms and bathrooms are private and common areas (kitchen, living room, TV watching) are spacious and comfortable for all to be in at the same time. Resort is staff, including marina staff, extremely friendly and helpful. Pool area is really nice, not crowded with plenty of chaise lounges, umbrellas and tables & chairs. Excellent facilities and service considering you're renting a house vs. staying at a full-service resort.

This was a perfect experience for what we were trying to achieve. Some quiet time away from our hectic lives and quality time with each other. Three friends looking to reconnect. Easy access to the rest of the keys and a beautiful local beach. But really we just lived the pool and lounges and bar area. We were content staying on premises. Reading and sunning. And watching movies at night. The place is immaculate, staff helpful and pleasant and had a great time. Beds comfortable and cozy. Everything was better than we could have expected. We had a plumbing and electrical glitch when we arrived and they handled it right away with priority and care.

We were not sure what to expect as we have had bad luck with renting condos in Florida. Usually the pictures are great and the real thing is tired, old and just plain nasty. Marlin Bay is probably the best place we have rented - EVER! The condos are extremely well equipped, up to date, and spotless. The condo was like a home - everything in the place was functioning and in top notch shape. Everyone who stayed with us (2 other couples) agreed. The grounds in the condo community were also well maintained and clean. The pool area and pool bar have enough seats for everyone. The exercise room and common areas - beautiful. The staff were respectful and helpful.

Our recent rental at Marlin Bay Resort & Marina was exceptional. The house that we stayed in was beautiful with so much attention to detail. The layout was perfect and size was more than accommodating for our family of 5. We were most impressed with the cleanliness of the home. Everything was spotless!! The grounds of the property were very well maintained and it is in the perfect location. The staff was so nice and helpful. The only thing that could have made our stay better was if it could have been longer!! Can't wait to return to Marlin Bay!

Our 7 day vacation turned into 10 because we absolutely LOVED Marlin Bay Resort! The pictures look like postcards online and are not edited...this place is even more beautiful in person! Exceptional staff from the start at Reservations to our Concierge, Pool/Bar staff, grounds keepers, etc. Every person we met was so friendly, so helpful & stayed out of sight unless you needed them so you enjoy a peaceful, relaxing vacation! September is a great choice...very few people & we enjoyed it so much! We have been many places & stayed in many nice residences but this one just made our top 3 favorite so far! One fantastic feature...the Pool is regulated & always a perfect, refreshing cool temp to enjoy & not feel like a sauna! Our adult kids (22 & 28) already want to come back next year!! Thank you everyone at Marlin Bay for a terrific vacation away from Arkansas! Our 5th trip to The Keys & you guys have nailed it at this gorgeous resort!
