Beach Front, Hot Tub, Pool Table, Foos Ball, Dog Friendly, Fenced Yard!

The Blue Marlin is a charming beach front home with many amenities. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a large living room area, bright spacious dining area with seating for 8 and well-equipped kitchen. The living area has plenty of seating, a large flat screen TV with blu ray DVD and streaming. The house also features a stereo/CD player, 3 additional smart TVs in the bedrooms, free wireless internet, hot and cold outdoor shower, fish cleaning sink, games, beach chairs and beach gear.
There is a private game room with a full size slate pool table, foos ball table and a 6 person hot tub! The fenced yard is perfect to keep your furry family members secure.
The master bedroom has a king bed and attached bathroom with a large walk in shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed and a full bed, the third bedroom has a queen bed. There is also a crib for our young guests! The 2nd bathroom has a tub/shower combo. All the rooms have large windows to enjoy the wonderful views.
There is Polywood furniture on the upper and lower decks to comfortably relax while you enjoy the view of the Gulf. Dine outside at the table or relax in one of the rockers or chaise lounges!
Walk off the deck and you are on one of the world's most beautiful beaches. The house is on 100' of beachfront offering you fabulous views of sunrises year round and sunsets in the winter!
The Blue Marlin is an amazing vacation location for you and your family. Swim with the dolphins, fish, or just recline on the white, sugary sand. When you're done with the beach, enjoy the outdoor hot/cold shower and prepare the day's catch on the covered park-style charcoal grill. Then enjoy a game of pool and soak in the large hot tub.
At night, enjoy a show from the deck as you watch the stars as they light up the sky! Yes! You can actually see the stars because St. George Island does not have any light pollution!!
In addition to the many amenities, our guests also enjoy discounts from local gear rental stores and for stays up to 21 days, credit towards rentals from VayK!

We supply a large indoor dog crate for your four-legged family members! The fenced yard is perfect for dogs. It has access from the deck (and the deck has a gate as well).

I can’t say enough great things about the property and the hosts. The house is perfect; strong wi-fi, tvs in every room that work, perfect location, every bed was comfortable, gated deck and property made it easy to keep our dog corralled while being outside.The hosts were wonderful and made every bit of our trip that much more enjoyable.The only negative was having to leave. Can’t wait to come back.

Thanksgiving at the beach

This house reminded me of many happy visits to the beach as a kid. We enjoyed the games, the outdoor playroom, the ease of getting to the park, the comfy beds, the incredible view, the fenced porch and yard, etc. The hosts were very responsive as well. This isn't fancy, but it is just right!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Lucinda

Host profile image
Hello and thank you for looking at our beach house! We live in Franklin County, FL and enjoy spending time on the quaint island of St. George. Tom grew up in Switzerland and Lucinda grew up in New York state. We are active people that like to travel to unique places - together we have traveled to 5 continents (hoping to hit all 7!) We were exploring the Florida Panhandle when we happened upon St. George Island and fell in love with the tranquil beaches. We enjoy all the beach activities, great weather and friendly people. We hope you enjoy The Blue Marlin and the island as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

After we visited St. George Island, we knew this was a place that we needed to have more connections. The Blue Marlin has wonderful views and a great beach front location. We are just a few steps to the beach which is the perfect location for us! St. George Island has many conveniences we want including great recreational activities year round, delicious restaurants, nice people and small town feel.

What makes this property unique

The outdoor space, large beach front lot and plenty of space to share with your family and friends.
The game room is a wonderful place to spend evenings,rainy days or anytime you want to have fun!
