Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in the neighborhood, but it's a little far from restaurants. The house was perfect for our group of 11 (we loved the large table for us to all eat at together) and close to the beach. It would have been easier if they would have let us have 2 golf carts. The kitchen was well stocked, but some of the utensils are getting old and broken.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Elephant Walk has been nicely renovated. The style was a bright & airy vibe. We enjoyed the house and found it roomy for our family. It can be hard to find at least two rooms with King Beds and we greatly appreciated having both downstairs. The location was nice and quiet for porch early morning reading but convenient enough to walk to beach/pool. Just an FYI the golf cart battery indicator seems to be off. It showed 1/2 way mark and the golf cart died and was pushed back and charged. We noticed when it start acting slow (despite the reading) we would charge it to ensure we didn't get a surprise breakdown.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Martinique! I think this was either our 5th or 6th time to stay in Martinique (1st at Elephant Walk). The security on the property is great. The golf carts are a plus. The house was very nice. The only downside to the house was that there are 3 upstairs bedrooms with only 1 bathroom (but we had 6 ladies upstairs). There were not enough towels for 10 people; however that's an easy fix. All in all it was a great vacation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family group of 10 selected this house since it was one of the few houses that have king and queen beds in 4 of the 5 bedrooms. There were 3 couples in our group, so we did not want a house with lots of twin beds. The photos of the home depict a rather dark and unusual décor. So, it was a pleasant surprise to find that there have been upgrades to the layout, furniture and décor that are not depicted in the photos. The home is now much brighter and more modern. It is spacious and provided ample room for our group. However, there are some things that would have made our stay even more pleasant which is why I deducted 1 star from my rating: 1) There were not nearly enough towels for a 5-bedroom/3-bath house. We stayed 3 nights and had to purchase additional towels in order for everyone to have fresh towels to shower with. This was not my first stay at Martinique, but it was the first time that the towels/linens were not sufficient. 2) Not enough trash bags, paper towels, or bathroom tissue. Again, a home of this size that accommodates the # of people that it does should be stocked with more than 1 roll of paper towels for the entire house, 1 roll of tissue per bathroom, and 1 kitchen garbage bag. After paying for my reservation I should not have had to stock the house with essential supplies. 3) Kitchen light switch was very tricky. Each time we thought we had figured out the proper switch to use, the next time we tried to use it the lights would not come on. There seemed to be too many 4-way switch panels that do not work properly. Overall, we had a great stay at this beautiful property.
