Don’t stay in this house!

We LOVE Martinique, but don’t stay in this house! Pick any other residence. House was dirty. Blind in the master wouldn't close. I had to change clothes in the closet. Stove top didn't work. Windows and screens had mold growing on them. Patio furniture was filthy, and paint would chip off onto your skin, if you sat on it. Ceiling fans were caked in dust. Mattresses and pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. Bugs all over the house. Golf cart was duct taped together. Microwave was rusty. Light bulbs were burnt out. Kitchen sink faucet was broken. All the furniture was worn out. The kitchen table had a chair with no seat in it. I have picture of everything. I texted and called property manager with NO RESPONSE!

Beautiful house with plenty of amenities

We have been staying at a friend’s house in Martinique on the Gulf for many years. This was our first stay at a different property. It was absolutely beautiful, well located and immaculately clean. All is exactly as described. Ignore the prior reviews about the kitchen. It is well appointed with high-end appliances and has all of the cookware you would ever need. But, this part of the Gulf has incredible fresh seafood, so make sure to also get out to the MANY great restaurants within a 3 minute to 15 minute drive from this house.

Sara’s was a great spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was better than expected — very spacious, lovely decorations, perfect location. The kids enjoyed the easy access to the heated pool and riding the golf cart to the beach. As others have said, supplies are bare bones — bring your own cleaning supplies and everything else you can think of.

We loved this property! Such a plus to be a single family home! The community was outstanding, all the natural growth made it feel so welcoming. All the houses are nestled into the natural beauty. The golf cart was a big selling point for us too. It made things so much easier going to the beach and just strolling the community. I would highly recommend staying here😎 Oh yeah and no stairs!!! Woohoo!

Lovely house in great neighborhood

The home is perfect for families with children. We loved the location, convenient access to beach via quick cart ride, and the quiet surroundings in Martinique neighborhood. Home included all of the essentials, and the property owner was very helpful with what to bring, etc. We will gladly stay here again.
