"We had a wonderful time with our family at Matt and Sarah’s home! The beach is beautiful and there's so much to do right at the house!" – Kelly

Hi there! We're Matt & Sarah, we can't wait to share Blue Marlin with you. Just 1.5 blocks from white sugar sand beaches, our 3000 sq. ft. home is your perfect getaway. This is where comfort meets fun. With an open layout, a game room, hot tub, a newly remodeled kitchen, and a complimentary 6 passenger golf cart & bikes, there’s something for everyone.

The Space:
"The house’s location is just perfect – a short walk to the beach. The pool, perfectly heated, was a hit, and the beds? Big and comfy for us all!" – Tracy

Our 6 bedrooms are your private retreats. Drift off to sleep in our luxurious beds, including a master suite with its own balcony overlooking the pool. And for the kids? A bunk room they’ll adore, promising sweet dreams of the day's adventures.

Here's a snapshot of the bed & bath layout, room by room:
Bedroom 1, first floor: King Bed with en-suite bathroom
Bedroom 2, second floor: King bed, Queen over Queen built in bunks
Bedroom 3, second floor: Twin bunk bed

Bedroom 6/Game room out back: Twin daybed, twin trundle bed, Queen Sleeper sofa.
One additional bathroom is located on the first floor, right by the living area and another full bathroom in the hallway on the second floor.

Step outside, and our backyard paradise awaits. Dive into our saltwater pool (yes, it's optionally heated!), lounge by the poolside, relax in the hot tub, play a game of ping pong, or indulge in an alfresco meal prepared in our outdoor kitchen. And as the stars come out, gather around the firepit, sharing stories and making memories (and s'mores!).

"We had such a fantastic time staying here. Matthew was always quick to respond... We're planning to come back next year!” -Tina

Sarah and I, are always here to ensure your stay is nothing short of amazing. Remember, our pool is open year-round (heating optional for those cooler months) and we’ve got a special offer on golf cart rentals – perfect for those little explorations around town.

As locals who love the Emerald Coast, we're excited to share insider tips on the best spots for boating, jet skiing, and amazing food and drink options like Bad Ass Coffee, Harry T's and more. Our involvement in the community and passion for the outdoors means we have plenty of stories and recommendations for you.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Blue Marlin, where your beachside memories await!

The Neighborhood:
You are in the heart of Crystal Beach, and directly across from the Destin Commons with plenty of shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. The Silver Sands Outlets are within a few minutes drive East with more shopping, restaurants, and a play area for kids. There are plenty of public beach accesses close by within walking/golf cart distance.

Getting Around:
We love taking the golf cart to pretty much anywhere around this area. During busy times it can be easier to take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to avoid dealing with traffic and parking. The town is fairly easy to navigate, as most everything to do is directly off the main road through in either direction!

Other Things to Note:
• Blue Marlin is pet friendly! Just pay the $200 pet fee before check-in and you can bring up to 2 dogs.
• Golf cart is not available in group bookings 25y or younger.
• Pool heating pricing varies, inquire for rates for your stay! Please give us a 24-hour notice for pool heating so we can get it just right prior to your arrival.
• Check-in: After 4:00 PM
• Checkout: 9:00 AM
• Self check-in with keypad
