Everything you need and then some!    Jun 22, 2024

review star

My second visit to SGI, but my first family trip to SGI! This house was perfect for our family! It was kid-friendly (no fear of something getting broken) dog-friendly (the fenced area is great, stocked with anything and everything you could think of needing! The house stayed cool and refreshing! The deck had plenty of nice furniture for dining or just relaxing! And best of all the wooden deck areas were in great shape, no fear of splinters for our bare feet! The location is perfect. I love SGI for the fact that there are no high rises so we had one family on the beach to the left and one family to the right! No overcrowding! I am an over-packer, but there really was a generous amount of starter stuff as mentioned (TP, paper towels, etc). Lots of extras fun things, sand toys, corn hole boards, beach games, puzzles, games, books, movies! The game room area would be a dream for teenagers to hang out! Everything mentioned in the specs for this house is accurate. I cannot say enough great things about this house! The beds were very comfortable! Loved the mattresses they use! And best of all this house is literally steps to the beach. So easy to walk back up to the house if you need something! And I even got a text on our arrival day stating that the house was ready a little early and we were welcome to go in early! A perfect place for the best vacation!

Relaxing Family Trip!!    Jun 01, 2024

review star

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Marlin! We celebrated our daughter’s graduation from high school with friends. We love the home and the colorful beach vibe it had. The teenagers enjoyed the simplicity of the beach and how safe they felt walking and riding bikes. They loved having late movie nights on the smart tvs and enjoying the hot tub. The house was well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. We loved the deck! You could sit in the sun or under the shade canopy and still enjoy the view. We definitely will be returning!! The only recommendation would be to replace some of the beach chairs and umbrellas, that are rusted, and starting to wear out. Otherwise we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect week! Thank You for allowing us the pleasure to stay at your home!!

Lucinda and Tom Roenicke's reply:

Hi Stephanie, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay at The Blue Marlin. We wish you would have told us that the chairs needed replacing, we replace the chairs and umbrellas on a regular basis and would have brought you new ones. Everything rusts extremely fast on the island. We are sorry for any inconvenience. We hope you will return to The Blue Marlin or one of our other homes.

Worth the location    May 26, 2024

review star

This is our second time at the Blue Marlin. The location cannot be beat. You wake up each morning to a beautiful view of the gulf. We have come to this island for over 50 years and you will struggle to find a better option that is beach front. The house is truly well stocked with supplies, spices and other assortments such as beach chairs and sand toys for little ones. The bottom is fenced and perfect for our dogs.

Wonderful Anniversary Trip!    Nov 11, 2023

review star

We absolutely loved everything about our week at The Blue Marlin. We booked the week to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! We have stayed in other properties that Tom and Lucinda own and they are by far our favorite spots to stay! Our dogs loved the fenced in area and watching the birds, as well as everyone walking on the beach, especially other dogs. We are already planning our next visit and can hardly wait to return. Thanks again Lucinda and Tom! We enjoyed having drinks at Paddy's with you guys! We love you both.

Dear Ann and John: Thank you so much for staying at The Blue Marlin for your special occasion! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We appreciate that you select our homes when you visit SGI! It is always a pleasure when you stay! We look forward to your next visit. Warm regards, Tom and Lucinda

Great Week ith Friends    Sep 16, 2023

review star

We just returned from a magical week at the Blue Marlin. It was the perfect size for 4 adults. I don't think we have stayed anywhere that is closer to the beach area which is great when you have medical issues and have to carry things. We loved the deck area except for the no see ems. And I doubt there is anything you can do about them. The house was very well stocked and Tom and Lucinda were easy to work with. We will probably return next year. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Lucinda and Tom Roenicke's reply:

Hi Cheryl; thank you for staying at The Blue Marlin! We are so happy you enjoyed the house and the location. Unfortunately, depending on the weather, time of day and winds, there may be no see ums. Luckily, it is not often. We hope you will return again to The Blue Marlin or one of our other homes.

Our 4th consecutive year staying at Tom & Lucinda's the Blue Marlin. Each year just keeps getting better! We appreciate the effort and care that is put into this home and that is the main reason we continue to come back. Yes, the view is incredible too! We just love this house so much and are so fortunate to keep coming back each year!!! Tom & Lucinda are wonderful hosts that truly care about the island, their homes, and the visitors.

Making the best memories    Jul 01, 2023

This is our second time stay at The Blue Marlin and we had another fabulous week of unforgettable memories! The house is perfect for kids and adults, kitchen appliances/amenities were great and man you can’t beat the view! If there was one minor negative it would be that the beds are not super comfy, but everything else makes it worth it. We can’t wait to book again for next year!

Lucinda and Tom Roenicke's reply:

Hi Jessica; We are glad you enjoyed your stay and all the amenities The Blue Marlin offers. We are very surprised about your comment about the beds. We get many guests asking us what brand of bed we use because they want to buy them. We use Slumber Solutions medium firmness in all of our homes and guests loves them. Have a great day, Tom and Lucinda

amazing vacation    May 06, 2023

review star

We had the most amazing vacation for 7 wonderful days at Blue Marlin. We've been coming to SGI for about 14 years now and this is the best place we've ever stayed in. The house is well maintained and the appliances are newer models and are very clean. Having the fenced in yard was wonderful for the dogs. The downstairs area was my favorite place to be during the evening - enjoying the hot tub or the hammock. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Christmas    Dec 22, 2022

We had a wonderful Christmas stay at the Blue Marlin. We had 5 adults and 2 dogs. The house was perfect. It had everything we could need. The deck is large and has good seating. As an added bonus the deck and downstairs area are fully fenced for the dogs. The hot tub was a bonus with the weather so cold. Tom and Lucinda are great hosts. We hope to rent the house again.

This was our third stay and we have our fourth stay already booked for July 2023. My family LOVES The Blue Marlin! Lucinda & Tom are excellent hosts and you can tell they do care about their repeat customers. We love this home because of many reasons, but WOW at the VIEW! We love: 1. Beach Front/Location/View 2. Best beds! Really are fantastic! 3. Hot Tub is a really nice luxury that we didn't expect to enjoy as much as we do! 4. House is well equipped, and the AC is OUTSTANDING! 5. The porch is the perfect place to begin and end your day! Each year we arrive and can see the updates/changes that are made, and it just keeps getting better. We really do feel like we are coming "home" when we arrive. THANK YOU for allowing us to stay.
