Blue Marlin * a space where memories are made!

Welcome to the Blue Marlin. This beautiful home will win your heart - a place to create amazing memories. Marco Island is one of the jewels of SW Florida and you will be just a few of minutes from Marco and Tigertail - expansive, white sand beaches you won`t to leave. But when you do, you`ll have kayaks and paddle boards to explore the waterways, bikes to explore the island, or simply stay home and make the most of the canal-side heated pool, or hang at the private tiki bar!



We very much want you to feel at home, be able to relax in comfort, and thoroughly enjoy everything this beautiful vacation villa has to offer, as well as the Marco Island location and the Florida sunshine!



Imagine waking up in the king size bed in the primary bedroom with the sunshine filtering through the blinds. Open the doors from your bedroom onto the balcony to have your morning coffee, or head downstairs and jump in the heated pool, for a refreshing wake up! Then sit back and contemplate what the new day has to offer. An early morning kayak or paddle boarding trip straight from your private dock A leisurely day by the pool An afternoon nap A beach day, perhaps, or exploring the island by bike. And if your schedule includes work time, set up on the patio, with a canal view - it is definitely going to beat the office! Oh, and did we mention the large private tiki bar We have a feeling you may spend a while hanging out in there and maybe even create a margarita (or two) with our top notch margarita machine!



The house is spacious, light and airy, with vaulted ceilings in the main living areas and large glass sliders leading onto the balcony, overlooking the canal and the pool deck. It has a calming relaxed feel - recently updated, completely repainted, and everything in the house is brand new (as of August 2022). The owners have put a lot of work into ensuring the best experience for your vacation.



This house is perfect for a couple of families vacationing together and we have provided everything with this in mind. The access and main living area of the house is on the second floor, including the kitchen, living and dining area, 3 bedrooms and both bathrooms, so guests must have the ability to climb stairs. There is a den located downstairs, accessed through the garage, where there is sleeping accommodation, but please be aware that the bathrooms are upstairs in the main house.



The patio and pool deck area is where you’ll spend a lot of time! The pool is heated and there are sun chaises for the sun worshippers and floaties for you to lounge on in the pool. There is plenty of lounging space for all, with conversational seating and 2 large ‘egg’ chairs, (perfect for curling up in and reading a book). For the outdoor chefs, there is a good size grill and seating for all to sample the fresh catch of the day, or perfectly cooked steaks.



The star of the show is the huge Tiki Hut, complete with bar area, TV, arcade game and Margaritaville frozen margarita machine!



This is a waterfront property and the patio leads down to a private dock, complete with boat lift (please inquire first) and fish cleaning station. We have provided kayaks and stand up paddle boards for your use as well as life jackets.
