Thank you Debora for your kind review of our Florida home. We really enjoyed having you and your family. We thought it was great that you were half way between visiting 2 families and we were the perfect location of even length drives between the 2 spots( and a great central point to meet up) . We hope to have you again in the future.

Blue Marlin a good catch in Bradenton

Our stay began with a warm welcome. The house was lovely and very comfortable. The host, Darla, was communicative and responsive to our requests. Could not have been better.

Be Aware

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!

Hello Diane. We glad you enjoyed your stay. As disclosed we have cameras facing doorways access to our home. They are all disclosed. We have cameras pointed at our boat. As you can imagine it is valuable to us or if it should have some sort of mishap on the lift. No cameras are in the lanai area and the last camera is in our garage. The garage is clearly stated as personal space of ours and that camera went off when the garage was accessed. The door was left open accidentally by the handy person. I asked you to lock it and you did which was great. The only cameras we may check if triggered are the garage or dock. We saw on the boat came our furniture from the lanai was on the dock and as you can imagine with stormy weather if they were to remain there they would be swimming with the fishies. If we had wanted furniture on the dock we would install some bolted down furniture there. We only asked if you could move them back into the protected area when you left the property. Hope you had a nice visit with your friends. You are welcome back anytime. Also thanks for noticing the pool was low and filling it up. We appreciate all the care you took of our home.

A Sweet Find

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.
