Marlin Key

Location is a key perk to this condominium complex located in Orange Beach close to the border with Florida. The four-story raised facility is on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, just east of Perdido Pass, and is comfortably close to several area restaurants and shopping options. The 28, 1,600-square-foot, units have 3 bedrooms and a matching number of bathrooms. Bathrooms off the master bedroom have Jacuzzi tubs. The kitchens contain the expected features, units have washer/dryer hookups, and Internet access is available. Private balconies looking out onto the gulf are accessed through the living room and master bedroom.

An outdoor pool area looks out onto the sugar-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and includes a sun deck. A covered picnic area is available as well as a barbecue area looking onto the gulf. A boardwalk extends from the condominium complex to the beach and there is a two-car maximum in the covered parking lot, which includes a daily fee. In walking distance is open space with beach access and a short drive away is the Alabama Point Beach. To the east of Marlin Key is the four-floor Dolphin Key condominiums and to the west is the slightly taller Perdido Quay.
