Awesome girls trip
Very spacious and comfortable home. Mattresses were so comfy. Very clean and well appointed. Property is very convenient to everything you need. We had a wonderful ladies getaway at the Blue Martin and would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was wonderful. The accommodations were fantastic. Aimee was very responsive. The cleanliness and the spacious accommodations were perfect for our family of 12.
This place is so close to the ocean. The golf cart makes it easy to transport people back and forth and the neighbors that we met were awesome. We will be back and we hope to book this place again!
We really enjoyed Blue Marlin. Great location and the house is very nice. The golf cart makes it easy to get to the beach. We hope to rent this place again. Thank you
We had a wonderful vacation! Your home provided plenty of room for 2 families!! The beds were superb! The games in the dining room were a fun surprise! The golf cart and bikes were such a great addition and made for an easy trip to the beach! Truly all the comforts of home!!
Gorgeous Home * Proximity to Beach * Responsive Owners
Our first visit to Santa Rosa Beach was wonderful thanks to this beautiful home that was close to so much. You will not regret staying here. The owners are great communicators. The listing is very accurate. The golf cart was so helpful in transporting the various ages in our family down the main street directly to the beautiful beach! Thankful for a wonderful week with great weather.
We had a great stay at The Blue Marlin. We were 6 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room for us all. The golf cart and proximity to the beach was a real bonus.
Perfect location in a great neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and Santa Rosa is one of our favorite vacation spots. Would definitely recommend to anyone, there was plenty of room for everyone in our family.
We loved staying at the Blue Marlin Beach House…it’s a beautiful home that had everything you would need to have a relaxing beach vacation. Highly recommended!
We loved our stay at the Blue Marlin! The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The beach was close by as was Gulf Place which offers great restaurants, coffee, shops, etc. We highly recommend! We had a great stay!
So fun! They have everything for the perfect beach vacation from age 3 up! The golf cart is so convenient and the walk to the beach, shops and restaurants is short! Also, 15 mile drive to Destin if you choose to but certainly do not have to as nice restaurants near Santa Rosa beach! They also have tons of beach toys already there! Loved our stay, second time!

Perfect family vacation spot!
We loved our stay at The Blue Marlin! We took our family of 7 and had plenty of space for everyone. Bathrooms are great, beds are comfortable. Walk to the beach is quick. Golf cart is perfect. Lots of great dining spots and shopping. Home is beautiful and Amy is an amazing hostess. We’ll be back!
Beautiful home, convenient location, huge plus with the golf cart! Our younger kids loved the bunk room while our teen enjoyed the second master suite. Thank you for a great stay!
This home was very spacious and comfortable for our group.
Beautiful location and beautiful neighborhood!!
The host was amazing and very fast to answer any questions 🥰
Would highly recommend for anyone to stay here💜
Beautiful house - pictures are accurate on VRBO website. Aimee was a great hostess- prompt responses to all emails. We enjoyed our time in Florida! Hope to be back and would definitely rent this house again!
We loved being so close to Gulf Place, Shunk Gulley, and of course the public beach access! The golf cart, bikes, beach umbrella, chairs, corn hole, beach toys were so helpful for our family. The home is new with lovely furnishings, fantastic beds and in a quiet neighborhood diagonal from the community pool! We would happily stay at Blue Marlin again.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Blue Marlin! The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Everything was super clean and it was awesome for the kids to have their own space on the third floor to relax together. The kitchen had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was short and it was fun to be able to grab coffee or a drink at nearby Gulf Place. We also enjoyed not having to rent bikes for the kids to use since they came with the house. Our entire family would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a great week!
Great house, great location, great vacation, great memories! Love the design of this house with first floor master bedroom, a 2nd master bedroom and two other large bedrooms on the second floor and awesome built in bunk beds on the third floor for the kids. Kids loved having "the kid floor". House is beautifully decorated and a lovely place to spend time. We rented bikes for the grandchildren and rode our bikes to the beach and restaurants every day. Having a golf cart was convenient and the children loved it. This was our first visit to Santa Rosa Beach and we will definitely be back!
We were so sad to leave this perfect beach house! We took our 2 adult children, their spouses and our new grandson to Santa Rosa Beach for a week. This beautiful home gave us plenty of room to spread out and a great open concept Kitchen/living area to hang out in! This being our first beach trip with an infant we were concerned about beach access but this house is so close - a perfect golf cart ride (included in our stay)! And the pool is literally a stones throw away! Great restaurants, shopping & groceries are close too. Comfortable beds, clean roomy bathrooms and well-equipped kitchen all made for a wonderful stay. Hosts were quick to respond to questions! We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back!
The Blue Marlin at Santa Rosa Beach was such a beautiful and comfortable stay! The home is tastefully decorated and fully stocked to meet everyday needs. Several of my family members commented on the very comfortable mattresses. The house is a short walk from the beach and very close to shopping needs!
Aimee was prompt when we reached out with a need.
I would highly recommend staying here! You won’t regret it.
