After a four year absence, we were so happy to reserve Hale Loa on short notice. This was the first stay in this house and the layout of the house was great for our family. There were a few things that would have made our stay more pleasant:1] a larger grill, the small grill does not work well when cooking for a family of 10. 2] New mattresses on the king and 2 queen beds. We older folks all woke up with morning pain from uncomfortable mattresses.3]New cushions on back porch furniture, we loved having our morning coffee on the porch, but the cushions have lost their cushioning power and made sitting very uncomfortable. 4] the garage door will not stay open. someone has to hold it open and some of us had bumps on the head as we did not move quickly enough. The upstairs bathroom door does not lock. With 6 people assigned to that room a lock is definitely needed. We were pleased with the efficiency of maintenance when needed but disappointed when the office would not return our phone calls. We learned that they will answer when called on the house landline, but not from cell phone. We have loved Martinique for many years, but will look for other properties for future stays. We have 3 families coming from 3 states and need parking space for a minimum of 3 cars. We find that parking fee in addition to the price of housing to be rather excessive since for many years there was no fee and we parked 3 cars on property . The new security people were very professional and a welcome addition to our stay. I have recommended Martinique to several friends and I will continue to do so. It is a great place to vacation for smaller groups who can fit their families and vehicles onto the property. Our family made many happy memories there starting in 2003.

We had to have the extermintator out 3times and still did not kill them all. The upstairs A/C is not cooling the bedrooms upstairs even after we had a man out to fix it. Big problem with the parking spaces at the pool for golf carts. Warnings and fines were passed put to guests because there is not enough parking spaces for the carts. Need to have a space for all carts at Martinique. Many guests were upset because of this. Need to have umbrellas for the tables at the pool. In the past there were umbrellas but not anymore. People at the pool were moving to the shade of the building for comfort.

Internet didn’t work when we arrived, but it was fixed by Tuesday. So that drove my kids crazy! Thank goodness for hot spots on our phones. I did get a ticket for parking the golf cart at the end of my driveway so I could get our Surburban out (as the drive way has a small fence and it is rather tight backing out when the people across the way are there ) to go to the store for 20 min and when I got back there was a ticket. I had the passenger side 2 wheels on the sand? $50 bucks and no warning? Ticket said no parking on the sand, **** this whole place is sand? Anyway, put the golf cart away and just drove my Surburban everywhere around the property. Put the golf cart away so won’t drive that again to a kind the fines. Might want to put a sign by the middle pool as I’m not sure if you can park a golf cart near the bike rack or not, since it sits on sand / gravel mix? I should have gone up to the pool office and told them I will trade my $127 in hot spot fees due to no reliable internet for 4 days! They did give us the internet password for the house next door, but it was really spotty and dropped all the time, so we gave upon using it. Anyway enough about that. This is our 7th trip to Martinique on the Gulf and we will be back. Will try a large condo next time to see how that is. Love the property and the beach!

There were too many of us for one house so we reserved two right next to each other. On our trip from Fort Worth to Gulf Shores we received a call from Martinique telling us that one of the houses that we had reserved had an extreme case of termites and we would not be able to use it until it had been exterminated. We were very disappointed but they saved the day by putting us up in another house a few blocks away. We were disappointed, but very happy that they were able to put us up in another unit because the entire complex was fully booked for the week. They gave us a significant refund for the difference in cost of the new booking and were very cooperative with all our needs, The resort is beautiful and was a real treat that left us with wonderful memories to keep for our entire family

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a second time visitor to Martinique. This stay was for one month. The home was nice and comfortable. Had a few issues with insects but an exterminator mostly took care of the issue. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Susan who was very friendly and always helpful. The only minor complaint would be that the garage was messy and we barely had room to park our vehicle. It also would be nice to have a place to park the golf cart outside as we were told not park it on the sand, which was the only choice. We enjoyed our stay and would likely return again.

This is the first time we were disappointed with our stay. The house was not very clean (Hairs in bathtubs and on toilets), no automatic garage door opener made very hard to get in and out of garage had to hand lift door each time door which was very heavy. The house was hot, 2 of the 3 thermostats were locked at 75 and could not lower temperature. We requested they be be unlocked at night to sleep we were fine with them being locked during the day while at beach they unlocked one. The upstairs bedrooms and spare bedroom downstairs stayed hot to sleep. It was good that the house was close to beach as we had to push golf cart back twice with battery at half charge. We stopped using the golf cart due to its poor condition. Left messages for front desk that were not returned. We had to go to front desk to advise of issues we were having with the house because we could not get them to call us back. We received a warning for no parking pass when we had purchased 2 but only received one. We advised the TV in first floor spare bedroom would not work. They never fixed the week we were there. Had to go to front desk after no one would return our phone calls for two days to get parking pass.

Just wish it had an ice maker instead of wine cooler. So very clean and beds were very comfortable.
