Avis Beachfront - House Marlin

Bedrooms very tight. Bathrooms very tight. Mobile home size showers with no way to keep water in the shower. In 1 bath, there’s 15 inches between the edge of the sink & shower. (Larger renters need not apply.)Upon arrival, there was no power. Water was all over the kitchen floor. No one had checked the readiness before we arrived. We found the main breaker to the home had been turned off - NOT tripped. It had been days/weeks since anyone had inspected the home. There were other problems (pictures included) - Filthy ceiling fans, kitchen counter top had built up dirt, oven was filthy, door hinges broke, microwave above the range broke, pots & pans way past their useful life, food was left on cutting boards, plates dirty, shelves rusted in fridge, gas grill filthy, over a dozen leftover spices expired pre-COVID (health hazard), couch dirty, other furniture was falling apart, shower curtains caked in mold, house wiring dangerous (multiple breakers double wired), 1990’s backup microwave failed after the second use. This is not a 9.8 rating! We cleaned the ceiling fan above dining area, kitchen counters, dishes and mopped the standing water. We felt like we were at grandpa's old place helping - not like we were on vacation. We own oceanfront VRBO's and know that THIS home is NOT ready to be in ANY rental program.There's more, but I'm limited to 1500 characters on this site.

From the minute we arrived at the property, it was wonderful! Cathy greeted us and was extremely kind and helpful! The home was in excellent condition and the views were breathtaking! All the amenities were well thought out and in great condition! Thank you, Cathy, for all the help!

Loved every minute. Spacious and very comfortable.

We were very happy with our house on the beach; great swimming out front, a few minutes walk to Tiny's for dinner! Cathy, manager, was fantastic! She always replied quickly to any questions and helped us set up dinners and understand the airport! She also had a wonderful store and we took two boat trips with Captain Charlie including snorkeling that were amazing!

If you want to get a taste of all the island has to offer, House Marlin is the perfect rental. Not only is it beautiful and well appointed, it is just a short walk from Tiny's Hurricane hole with great food and drinks! You can easily drive back and forth to the north and south parts of the Island. Kathy was extremely accommodating. We already planning our next trip or just to come down for a weekend. We LOVE Long Island!

Marlin house was wonderful. The house was great. Wonderful island central location. The neighbor was nice as long as you dont go on their side.

We loved the peacefulness of our place on the water. Watching the sailboats, sunsets were a bonus. All the comforts of home were at hand. Our host was accommodating and easily available if needed.

Love everything about this property ! Close to everything on the island ! The pool is great . We were able to enjoy swimming in the ocean . The house is immaculate!! We will be back next year for sure !
