On The Beach ~ House Marlin, with Pool!

Good day, thank you for your review! If you can please advise what was not up to your standards that would be helpful for future bookings.

Thanks Abigail and Family! Pleasure having you as our guest at House Marlin, welcome anytime :)

Happy to have you visit and I’m glad you did have a functional brand new microwave and dishwasher to use as well as a stove and fridge. It is unfortunate that you didn’t enjoy the sofa, but nice that the chairs worked out well for you! Different strokes for different folks! As for the yard, it’s great that you didn’t have to spend time there and rented the house and pool and not the yard as it is difficult to keep the weeds under control sometimes! In case you are worried for future guests, it was cleaned just yesterday ;) As for the neighbors, they keep to themselves so regardless if they like someone there or not it really doesn’t matter, especially to you as the visiting guest. The house is a duplex and is described as such as I pointed out to you when we first met! No surprises there Continue to enjoy your travels and thank you for your insights

It is unfortunate that your visit to our rural Family Island in the Bahamas did not meet your high expectations. As the property manager, I certainly try to ensure that each guest has a lovely experience and gets to enjoy not only the home but our lovely unpopulated Island as well. The Island power surging the night before certainly wrecked havoc with this home, and I was glad the electrical company came quickly to restore your power. Our electrician has since checked the wiring, and confirmed everything is in proper working order and within code so rest assured, there is no fire or any other hazard, that's simply the result of high tension transmission lines being exposed to salt air which can break and cause massive surges across the Island, especially this time of year. The house is an older property, with comfortable furnishings indoor and outdoor however yes there are stains and wear and tear but certainly cleaned regularly as is the house with a full changeover and bleaching after each guest. The couple that left 2 days prior had a truly fantastic time and enjoyed the home, location, pool and Island experience, however I will bring your concerns to the owners!

Thanks for staying with us at House Marlin! Hope to see you again on another Long Island adventure
