We had a great time at Marlin House! I have stayed at several vacation rentals and the kitchen was probably the best stocked with plenty of dishes, pans, bowls, and utensils. The sunset views were great and the ease of getting our boat in and out was great. Our family loved the huge pool! Oh and the beds were comfortable as well!

We had an amazing experience at this property. The manager/owner was quick with any responses we needed and made it a super smooth process. The location for boating is perfect! We could see our boat from the villa, short distance to the pool and the best sunset views. We will be staying there again.

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome Home! We first came to Indigo Reef in 2015. It was our first time to the Keys and we absolutely fell in love with this community and said "one day we will own a place here!" We loved so many things about this hidden gem...dockage right out the front door, spacious villa, modern amenities, great pool, and of course the AMAZING SUNSET VIEWS! Five Years later we fulfilled our dream and purchased our villa and are so excited to be able to share it with you. We are professional real estate investors from Minnesota and focus on making sure your stay exceeds all of your expectations. That is why we offer 24/7 direct communication with us personally. Anything you need, any problems you might encounter, any recommendations you desire, we want you to contact us at any time during your stay. We have a passion for the Keys and specifically Indigo Reef. We're confident you will fall in love with this little slice of paradise just like we did. We guarantee it!
