We have rented this home many times and always enjoy our stay there. Better than one condo after another, it’s a lovely home nestled in lush vegetation with pools and the beach conveniently close by. Within 10 minutes to 2 of the best golf courses in Gulf Shores, it’s a good fit for those who want more than the beach.

Super nice and perfect for the trip we had planned! Plenty of space for 9 of us staying and we had such a great stay! Simple check in process and booking! Only issue we had, was there was only room for one car to park (we were told we had 3 spots on the lot). Neighbors/residents told us otherwise so we had to park at a different part of the neighborhood for our second vehicle. :(

We have been renting at Martinique on the Gulf since 2004 and thoroughly enjoy the beautiful setting. It's more than a comfortable family home on the beach. It's surrounded by beautiful natural habitat that is rarely found these days. It's the perfect spot for family vacations. The home has everything you need to be comfortable. The porches allow you to enjoy nature and relax. The golf cart makes the beach easy and convenient. We love it.

Being a growing family, children getting married and adding grandchildren, we needed more space. This house was perfect! Each couple had their own space and bathroom. Everyone came at different times but we were all together for one day to have family beach pictures made (which will be our Christmas). What a blessing to all be together and relaxing. This is our second time at Martinique and we feel like it's our home away from home.

This our 3rd year to vacation at Martinique on the Gulf and have already booked our house for 2026. Our stay this year wasn't as good as the previous years, only because of a few issues with the house, everything else was fine as usual.The oven didn't work so we had to eat out more than we had planned, however the oven was repaired on our last day of vacation. The living room furniture really needs to be replaced as it is very worn. It just wasn't the same level of expectation that we had in the past, the oven not working was a big inconvenience. Also be aware, the golf cart doesn't have a headlight.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. However, some things to note- the house could use a good deep clean. My toddler's feet were black instantly after walking through the kitchen and living room. I even took clorox wipes and tried to mop with my hands and the wipes would come up black. The blinds and headboard/footboard in the master bedroom also had an inch of dust on them, I had to wipe them off. The master bedroom also stays a lot warmer than the rest of the house even with the blinds completely shut 24/7. Also, the main fridge in the kitchen does not stay very cold. Our berries would mold within a day. The fridge in the garage is much colder and ended up where we stored most food.

This was our first time staying at Ciel Sur Terre. The house has a great layout, stays cool, and has a pretty location. Peaceful. Our complaints had to do with the management and cleanliness of the house, and furniture aging. The back patio sofa was broken and cushions mildewed. Food debri on living room sofa pillows, mildew in downstairs toilet. No hangers in upstairs closets and very little storage for clothing, as there are no dressers. I personally went to purchase hangers and left them for others to use. The house was well stocked with toys and kitchen appliances, great cookwares and dishes. The owners have a beautiful place and should be updated when families are disappointed by its care.

Overall, we had an enjoyable experience staying at Cier Sur Terre home. This was our family’s 10th time to spend our summer holiday at one of the properties of Martinique on the Gulf. We have been coming to Martinique on the Gulf every year and each time was always a memorable experience for the entire family. That said, each home is slightly different and like others, Cier Sur Terre could possibly use some improvement to enhance anyone’s stay in the future, including ours.1. Floors were not cleaned or mopped. On the first day of our stay, those who wore white socks inside the house found their socks black by the end of the day. We generally do not use our outside shoes inside the house to keep the floors clean but found ourselves cleaning the floors on certain spots of the house to keep our feet and/or inside slippers clean.2. One of the bathrooms on the second floor, on the left hand side as you go up the stairs, had a slow running toilet that clogged up easily after each use by either an adult or a child regardless.3. The grill outside had to be cleaned prior to grilling for the first time because it was filled with oil and dirt.4. The house ventilation appeared to require some cleaning or maintenance because some of us had allergy symptoms throughout our stay in the house. The vents were visibly dusty and dirty.The staff has always been friendly and easy to work with year after year. The rental location was close enough to the pools and the beach. The house’s floor plan, layout, and space were perfect for our family size. The house is beautiful equipped with adequate amenities to make one’s stay comfortable. So, we would still recommend this property to a friend or relative ultimately. However, we trust that the highlighted items above would at least be considered and/or given attention for future use. Thank you for making our annual family tradition at Martinique on the Gulf always enjoyab

Although the pics of this house depict a true picture of the stuff, what it doesn't show is that everything is worn out & dirty. The mattresses are awful. Even the kids noticed it. The kitchen pots & pans need replacing. Ice machine didn't work. Outdoor cushions were FULL of mold! And the cleaning company needs a lesson in cleaning - the toilets were black with mold & blankets were dirty. We cleaned & washed these ourselves but it was NOT what I wanted to do on vacation! VERY IMPORTANT: We booked this house for one price, the rental co took our money, & a few wks later they send a receipt for another charge b/c they DOUBLED the rate! We argued but to no avail.

Our family had a delightful Christmas in the immaculate Ciel Sur Terre home! Our adult children had completed a semester of college and were very much looking forward to enjoying some R & R. The Ciel Sur Terre did not disappoint! Everyone had their own bed and bath, as well as, plenty of room to sprawl out for privacy or gather together for movies or games. The golf cart was perfect for transporting us to the beach for a stroll each day and the hot tub or sauna each evening. It was a very quiet and peaceful location. The kitchen was generously supplied. The washer and dryer operated well. We learned a gas line does not run to the fireplace; so, it was not functional for Christmas morning. However, our family had the most memorable Christmas and hope to return in the future.

We have been coming for seven years and have fallen in love with Martinique. This year was a little disappointing. First, our dryer did not work so after we put clothes into the washer, we realized that the dryer did not put out hot heat and our clothes sat wet for days. We also went home with a ton of dirty clothes when we could have washed them. A week is a long time. Second, we had brought sliders and hot dogs to grill and when we opened up the grill it did not have a place to set anything on. It was a bottomless pit that looked like it had not been cleaned out for years. Now, the office did resolve this by having one of the workers being his own grill over for us to borrow, but if anyone at all would have checked up on the back patio, they would have known. Third, we could not check in until 5pm because of “extra Covid cleaning.” This was the dirtiest we had seen a house in seven years. I was super sad because it had been perfect up until this year. Hopefully it will be better next time.
The property was perfect for our group. We had ten people and there was plenty of room for everyone.
