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!

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.

Best Stay in Port A

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.

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!

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.

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!
