Blue Marlin Beach Vacation Lodging

“We have had an amazing time at The Blue Marlin. Mr. Gilbert and Mrs. Karen have been so friendly to me and my family! I have recommended for my whole extended family to take our next vacation together to be at The Blue Marlin.”

“My father and brother recommended staying here. We loved it . It was very clean and gave you a welcoming feeling. Upon arrival the owner Karen was very welcoming and polite. I would recommend if you are looking for a place to stay try the Blue Marlin”

“My family has been vacationing at the Blue Marlin Beach Vacation Lodging for over 9 years now with Gilbert and his wife Karen. We even celebrated our honeymoon there after being married on Carolina Beach. As far as hospitality and accommodations go you could never ask for anything more. The view of the ocean is perfect, with yard space as well to offer to the kids and yourself if you need a little time off of the sand. The apartments are clean and very welcoming. They are very responsive and courteous to all your needs. My husband and I call it our home away from home when it comes vacation time.”

“Would not want to stay anywhere else when in Kure. Gilbert and Karen are top notch with service and a great place to stay. Love the view from decks. Close to all the fun. Back every year. Thx for a great vacay spot--”

“We just left our beloved Kure Beach and are already missing it! We have stayed at the Blue Marlin for over 15 years and it’s always the same, just wonderful! Gilbert & Karen are always amazing hosts. The rooms are ALWAYS very clean!! You have amazing views of the ocean and you have direct access to beach with a very short walk. It’s very affordable and you have exactly what you need with kitchen stuff like coffee pots, microwave, full size refrigerator and basic utensils. Towels & linens are included and the beds are comfy. You can walk to various places to eat and very close to be able to walk to pier. Kure Beach is quaint and not loud and crazy like other tourist spots. The Blue Marlin beach shop has almost anything you could want without having to drive to go look for things. You will not be disappointed in staying here unless you are looking for plush, overpriced and overrated places! Gilbert & Karen are like your family from the time you arrive until you leave. They never bother you but if you need them, they are always available! Thank you guys for not trying to change a great place to stay! We will see you soon:) Nile & Cynthia”

“I have stayed at Gilbert's place several times now. I love it. They are awesome hosts, the cottages are bright and clean and so close to the ocean. I love being able to watch the ocean from the deck in the evening. Definitely recommended for a relaxed, casual vacation and close enough to all the fun without the noise.”
