Great!
The location in proximity to the beach is great. The company was good to work with and very prompt to fix a problem with a shower. I would recommend the condo to others. We would use it again, too.

Hello Ann,
We are sorry you had that experience! We have sent out a professional exterminator and notified the guest. We do hope you will stay with us again.
We always stay in a condo at Marlin Key. This condo was very nice. The furniture was comfortable and the master beds and guest beds were very comfortable. The bunk beds were a bit hard but good enough for young kids to sleep on. The only issue we had was the temperature could not go colder than 68 degrees, which is understandable for the units in the hot temperatures. But we only had very thick comforters for the beds, so we got pretty warm at night. It would’ve been nice to have thinner blankets on the beds.
The condo was nice. Loved the flow of the condo. We did notice that it had some issues. Jet tub needs to be cleaned, master shower had mold, some of the furniture was broken, sliding doors in master bedroom would not open and outdoor furniture needs replaced. Overall the condo was nice.

Thank you, Lynn for bringing this to our attention. Our maintenance tech has repaired/corrected all of these issues. We value your feedback and the opportunity to correct any issues that are wrong
Great location- right on beach! Great for families. Condo we had was perfect for 2 families. Couch not the best felt greasy , dirty..
Some dishes dirty and overall place was dusty . We all washed sheets because 1st night they felt sandy 🤷‍♀️.. I think the property management that owns the cleaning/housekeeping could do much better ! Otherwise we would definitely stay again .. nice size condo building very easy to get around.

Needs improving. The refrigerator doesn't work properly. It was dirty when we got there. Had to clean ourselves. But we did have a cold a/c. We enjoyed being so close to the beach. The lighting didn't work in the halls so it was dark when we would come back to the condo.

We hate to see this review. We wish you would have reported the cleaning issues so that we could have sent someone out right away to fix it. Also, you never called to report any issues with the refrigerator or the lighting, and no guests before or after your stay have reported any issues with it.
We enjoyed our stay at Marlin Key 2C. Would definitely stay here again.

NIce unit, great location, well equipped
Poole and Assoc were the worst realty company I have EVER had dealing with!!
They are totally not customer oriented. Also they have no business managing a
property so far away in Perdido. Would not let me check in and go on down the
beach and wait for a text to go to the unit Marlin Key 2C. Then had to drive
back up there to leave keys at checkout 20 miles total out of my direction to go home.
Called to report TV in main room not working on Sunday. Man came & it came on
soon as he arrived.. He said it need a new HDMI cable but left without replacing.
Had trouble all week with this and called 3 times about it. No one came

Impressed very classy !!!
Ok so this condo was amazing you literally are right on the beach , you have a view from your balcony of the ocean and in the master bedroom you have a view of the ocean , the mater bath is huge!!! and beautiful, it has a huge tub and a separate shower , the living room couches are super comfy , the kitchen is huge with every essential that you need to cook then you have a beautiful guest bedroom with its own bath and a kids room with two bunk beds and it’s own private bathroom , this place is top notch it’s farther down on the beach going towards Pensacola so it’s a bit more private it’s not overcrowded at all!!! Oh I almost forgot the pool is very clean and perfect size and it was never crowded, if your looking for a great place to stay , look no further this is it !!!

Amazing.
This was our first time to stay at our Marlin Key and we brought kids and grandkids. It was the first time the grans had seen the ocean and we all had a ball. We loved the condo and the views. Loved the fact that it was not a high rise and very family oriented. Looking forward to next year!

My family had a wonderful vacation at this condo. Very spacious. We ate every meal in condo and the kitchen is well equipped. Wish the ice machine was working but everything else was perfect. Did not have to wait on elevator one time.

Great location.
The condo was beautifully furnished with a beach view from our balcony. There were ten of us and everyone had plenty of room for comfort. The kitchen was well equipped. The only down side was a poor internet service. There is easy access to plenty of restaurants.

My family stay here March 26th through April 2nd. The condo was just as pictured and more. We cooked several meals while here and the condo was well equipt with everything we needed. The view is awesome. The condo is way more spacious than it appears. I would highly recommend Marlin Key. I loved that the building is not a high rise and was not loaded with people. Great beach! Thanks for allowing my family to enjoy you home!
