We rented three homes in Martinique for a large family vacation. I rented Chateau de la Mer for my family. It was perfect. The house was spacious and beautiful. Plenty of space for two families, kids, big and little and grandma. The youngest granddaughter lives the “beach” in the front yard. But the beautiful interior was what the grown up kids loved. Every room was newly and tastefully decorated. Ftom the chef kitchen, the screened in porch, the bunk bed room, the crows nest, gorgeous master bath... it was so perfect. I want to go back. There were seven bikes, big and little in the garage. We used them every single day. And the six person golf cart made everyone happy. Pickleball court on site was so much fun! We played in the morning and in the evening. We loved everything’s in Martinique and the surrounding area. It was so much fun, too. I would love to go back and make more memories. Kudos to the owner for the beautiful renovation. Tight outbid a magazine. Thank you Chateau for a beautifully perfect week.

My family had a wonderful time at Chateau last week. The house is gorgeous!!! It is comfortable and well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped. We have stayed at Martinique at least six times and this house is our favorite. We are all looking forward to coming back. I wish I could give the property more than 5 stars.

Chateau de La Mer

Our stay was spectacular in every way. The renovations that the homeowner made were right out of a magazine. The attention to detail was noticeable in every room, from the chef-style kitchen, beautiful glassware and appliances, stunning furniture and draperies, TVs in every bedroom, spacious, bright, lovely multiple outdoor seating areas, large dining room table for dinner and games. The six-person golf cart was fabulous for our large family along with 7 bikes that took us all throughout the community. We loved swimming, looking for crabs on the beach at night, playing pickleball. Chateau provided many chairs for the beach, toys for the sand ( the sand in the front yard was perfect for the kids - what a bonus that was) Our family of ten had plenty of room to be together and also have individual spaces. This house was beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the memories will be forever. Thank you Chateau. We LOVED it so much.

We absolutely LOVED our family vacation. We had 8 adults, 2 teens and our young grandchildren. What a beautiful, spacious home. It had all the things in the kitchen that we needed. The golf cart was a very nice bonus, even though the home is located close enough that you could walk to beach and pools. We are pickleball lovers so we enjoyed the court with our family. We will definitely book and stay here again. The only thing that happened was the trash outside wasnt dumped upon our arrival. Trash goes out on Saturdays and Wednesdays. WIth the larger number of people we had in our party and the trash that wasnt dumped on Saturday we topped off the outside cans very fast. But all in all a fantastic vacation!!! Staff was very friendly and helpful on my calls prior to our stay. If you havent booked a stay, do its DELIGHTFUL!

The Chateau De Le Mar was a great house.
It was very clean and decorated so pretty!
We had 7 adults and 2 children and it fit all our needs!The beach and pools are in clues walking distance!
We lived our stay!
The only issue was the golf cart was very old and rusted out.
It broke down on our first day but the office gave us one to use for the rest of our stay which was so nice!
Had great beach toys and lived everything about it.
We will definitely be back!
Thanks to the owners!

Our stay was great. The amenities of the house and the cleanliness helped to make the stay enjoyable. There wasn't much we needed outside of our own groceries. The location to the beach was short, sometimes we just walked or rode the bikes instead of taking the golf cart. We also were very appreciative of the security guards always making sure any cars that came in were with parking tags . We felt more secure knowing this.

A fabulous experience from booking to checkout. Visited the property after going to FL 30A area as a family (14 of us now) for last 10 years. Looking for something special to meet our needs - 1 yr old to 70. Found it at Martinique. No steps to house first floor or to beach. Easy access to beach via boardwalk. Used beach wheelchair from house to umbrella. Pools were super. Staff was superb. House was outstanding. Loved the laid-back area, yet attractions for all ages very nearby. Best beach vacation yet for our family and we've been doing it over 10 years. Only downside was driveway parking, but they had acceptable workaround

We had a wonderful stay at Chateau de la Mer in Martinique. The house was perfect for a large group of ladies who were in town for a long weekend of playing in a tennis tournament. The house had everything that we needed, good location to the courts, close proximity to the beach/pool. Would definitely stay here again.

My children and grandchildren loved the roominess of the house and the convenience of the golf cart. We were all comfortable in the large living room and the bed rooms were a good size too. The kitchen was well stocked and roomie for several cooks. We loved it! Convenient to two pools and the beach.

Lovely house and complex for a large group on a beach vacation

Overall Comment
We loved the house; it was a perfect size for us. Close to the beach and pools, great complex for walking and tennis. We were pleased with the quantity of plates, cutlery and lots of towels. The mattresses were nice except for the sofa bed in the crow’s nest. It was impossible to use as a bed. The air mattress was in the closet but it did not work. The refrigerator was a large size and held all of our food for a week. The addition of the ice machine was a plus. Plenty of seating for 14 people.
Our family group had college age boys and a six-year-old. They enjoyed the weight room until they were closed out due to sudden construction. The heated pool was great. We all enjoyed the morning fly-over by the Blue Angels.
Our group included a wheelchair bound person. He and the wheelchair were able to access the full downstairs and the neighborhood to beach.
Some negatives – the sheets were terrible. Cheap and uncomfortable. There were light, thin blankets on the beds but nothing for the cold nights. One of the single beds had a nasty mattress cover with a plastic backing that crinkled all night. The plumbing in the second floor, left side bathtub was in bad shape and really difficult to get a good shower. Floors were dirty and the extra cleaning charge seems high and not actually evidenced.
What I wish I had known – There is filtered water through the fridge so no need to buy water. There is a rice cooker, beach toys a not so clean grill as well as a blender, golf cart, toaster and 12 cup drip coffee maker. Bring beach towels.

We found the Chateau Del a Mer to be the perfect house for the 14 members of our family who made the trip. It was well appointed, comfy furniture and pretty much as described in the information. We loved the size of the community, it was easy to access and get around in the golf cart, quick walk to the beach when the golf cart was being used by other members of our party. The beach was very nice and not too crowded so that social distancing was never a problem. Only had one maintenance issue and it was quickly addressed and resolved.

The house was great for our large family. A second golf cart for this size of house would have been nice but was manageable with one. Loved having the bikes though. Loved having the big boiling pot as we did a shrimp/crab leg boil one night for dinner since NOT eating out with the Corona. We love coming to Martinique as it a safe and enjoyable property. Ice maker was a big plus for us. Would love the crows nest to have beds rather than the couch as most of the springs were missing and not comfortable for sleeping. Will be back for sure!!

The house was a good size for extended family vacation. Liked having the ice machine. The Button on the kitchen faucet was broken and wouldn’t spray but was manageable. None of the mattresses had protective plastic covers on them —only mattresses pads and sheets which didn’t fit well—and we understand they should. A second or larger golf cart for this size house would be nice.
Overall we had a great experience and enjoy the safe property. There are plenty of things to do to keep kids and adults as well entertained.
Our grandchildren enjoyed the bikes and the beach toys.
Will return.

This large house worked perfectly for our family group of 12. The living spaces allowed for spreading out OR gathering together. It is a short walk or hold cart or bike ride to the beach.

Our family had a really nice time at Chateau de la mer. There were 10 of us, and there was ample space and plenty of beds/bathrooms. The house was well stocked with cooking items and silverware and dishes were abundant, much more than we used at any single time. We enjoyed having the golf cart and bicycles for getting from the house to the pool and beach. The overall property is also lovely, and it’s not too far into town for supplies. This is definitely a place we would like to revisit!

The house was spacious, well furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. There were plenty of sleeping options and bathrooms. There was an issue at first with the second level air conditioner however management sent someone right out to correct it. We were even allowed to check in slightly early in time to watch the ballgame. This location is also not too far from the beach.

We had a great experience at Chateau de la Mer. The house had plenty of room for the five families we had stay. Both of the pools were great. A short golf cart ride to the boardwalk down to the beach made it easy. The washing machine was broke but management worked fast to get it fixed for us.

15 of us traveled 13 hrs only to find out the place we rented backed out on us at the last minute. We pulled into Martinique and they hooked us up within minutes. The house was very nice and the resort was very clean. The house had some mold on the ceiling upstairs and the ice maker leaked pretty bad in the kitchen. After 3 days they came out and turned the ice maker off and sprayed bleach on the mold. That stuff didn’t bother us but needs to be looked at in the future. We had a great time and would come back again in a heartbeat. Thanks for hooking us up.

We had 14 family members stay at this rental and had plenty of room for all. We love the amenities of this community and the close proximity to all Gulf Shores activities and restaurants. The beach is great and not crowded like you would find in more commercialized areas. I would definitely recommend a stay here for your family!
