I booked our trip to the Lauderdale area for my sisters bachelorette party. Originally we were booked for another location and a little more than a week prior to our departure, we were notified that there was a problem with the booking. This was really disppointing since I contacted Lauren immediately following our confirmation because I had several confirmed locations fall through without the owner contacting me in trying to plan this trip. She was able to offer a couple of alternatives which was much appreciated! Blue Marlin was the closest to what we were looking for and worked well for our group. We enjoyed time at the pool each day and there was plenty of room for our group of 9. The location is close to the grocery and liquor stores and was easy to find. I think we would have liked to be closer to the beach, better restaurants, and nightlife. There were little touches that could be addressed to improve this rental --- some paint jobs in the living area, fixtures that needed to be touched up, the pool light was dislodged. None of these things took away from our vacation and the house was still very pleasant. Would definitely recommend this location to someone in the future.
