This property is just great. Apparently, it was remodeled during the Covid break, so the pictures do not currently reflect the decor. Sadly, the owners have painted the entire inside of the property yellow (every single room) and all of the fun colors are gone... from both the walls and the bed linens. The property is still beautiful and very functional. Our favorite place is the screened in porch. We had three issues when we arrived and the Martinique staff resolved everything before noon our first day! They are wonderful.We had plenty of lovely white towels in both of the bathrooms. The mattresses on the beds are very nice. My one complaint is the bed linens. The sheets and coverlets are very thin and 100%l polyester. Not comfortable at all. There were no extra blankets. We had to rob some covers from the unused bunk beds. We even used mattress pads (in the closets... not on the beds??) as covers. And, again, the linens are all white. All fun colors gone.All of the amenities listed are present. Do remember... you will need to bring dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent. You will also need salt/pepper, spices, etc. and anything else you will need for cooking your meals. There are plenty of pots/pans, coffee mugs, plates, bowls, flatware and cooking utensils.Definitely recommend this property!!

It was very apparent that the owners take pride in this rental home. Everything was provided from bikes, beach chairs and would be good to update the photos online. The only thing I would change would be a six person outside dining table in the screened in porch. I would definately rent this home again.

Lil Bit of Sunshine was dirty and disappointing. Loved the home and all the decorations just not the dirt that went with it. Floors appeared to not been mopped in a while. When daughter flipped covers back to go to sleep found hair in bed. Reported next day and didn’t get the concern we felt was needed. This was our eighteenth year coming here and was highly disappointed. Also, was ask to check out early due to Covid 19 deep clean that is required after each rental 😡When I told the front desk again how disappointed we were her response was we are going with a different cleaning service Monday😡Where does this leave my family and the affect this had on our vacation?Rugs and carpet were black! Just plain nasty! Disappointed with how this was handled and if I was this owner of this home I would be totally upset!
