Great stay!

We came from Wisconsin to get a break from winter, and we were not disappointed. The house looks just like the pictures and was very clean and homey. The hot tub and pool were great. We loved being on the canal and even saw some manatees. We enjoyed many local restaurants and took Island Girls Charters to Cabbage Key Island and North Captiva. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. It’s a great stay for couples. We would definitely stay again.

I just wish the property would of had standard cable TV, trying to work through all the different applications was very frustrating and did not give us live news and sports coverage.

Saint James City Gem - Very nice and clean!

We had a really nice stay at the "Blue Marlin"! The house is an extremely clean and newly renovated older Florida home with a larger frontage cul-de-sac lot on a canal. This cleanliness was greatly appreciated as it's how we like our own home. If you appreciate a nice clean home then this is the place. It was just my wife and I and our 2.5mo old infant. I appreciate that they made the exception being a small infant and not children running around which I wouldn't want if it was my house. The place is set up with two master bedrooms and is very spacious and would be perfect place for two couples. The pool area was very nice and we mostly used the jacuzzi. It was a little on the cooler side weather wise when we were there but were able to heat the pool to a comfortable temperature. The kitchen is stocked with all the appliances one could need and more. If I were to make a few changes it would be to leave some cupboards empty to be able to store food, have some basic cleaning products/supplies available to those that stay and want to keep it clean, and to remove or be able to cover the camera that faces the pool. There's quite a few cameras around the property. We never did anything or would do more than pg but we found that camera uncomfortable and not necessary for security. With that being said I would most certainly stay there again but would ask to cover that pool area camera.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The location is great and so is the "island vibe". Many restaurants within walking distance. Boat launch within walking distance. The outdoor area of the space is fabulous. The home has everything you need for a relaxing, sun filled stay....and it rarely rains in St. James when it's raining everywhere else!

What makes this property unique

Canal front home with direct Gulf access, boat dock, inground heated salt water pool, hot tub, walk to waterfront restaurants and general store, golf cart community; laid back, old Florida charm.

Green Iguanas? They roam near the property. In the winter and spring American Eagles are frequently seen in the tree across from the canal. Manatees and dolphins can be spotted in the canals.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
