Martinique

We had a great 6 day stay here. It was very home like and I slept like a baby every night. Neighborhood was great and felt very safe. The beach access point was great! Clean bathrooms and food and drink at the beach. A little pricy but worth not walking back to the house. Now for the negative things. I never leave negative feedback but this house needs ALOT of updating. For the amount of money we paid to stay here I expected more. The house smells old and the upstairs smells like dog urine. Replace the carpet and that would change this. The exhaust fan on the 2nd floor didn't work so the bathroom got really hot and muggy while showering. The washer and dryer are ancient and we had to dry towels 3 times for them to dry. The stove has a knob missing and the ice maker is extremely slow everything else in the kitchen was great. The furniture could use updating as well and that would also help the smell. Bed spreads could use updating they were old and worn out. Decking on the balconies could use replacing. Don't walk barefoot on these you will get splinters. Do NOT park on the grass even a tiny bit you will get in trouble. There is only parking for 2 at this unit. Other than these things we had a great stay but I wouldn't rent again until updates were done.

it was great. the only complaint we had 3 families staying. only enough parking for 2, overflow parking at pool. not all properties had the same size drive way, some larger than ours.

It was ok but the website was a little misleading and it would be a lot better if you could actually talk to someone during the process instead of leaving a msg re what you needed then they just did it instead of calling you I’m old school and like to talk to people instead of it all being done electronically

I loved the roominess for all of my family. There were enough beds and offered privacy when needed. There were plenty of places to sit and visit and eat. The neighborhood was beautiful and we felt safe. It was nice to have a ride to the beach at times. The pool was very close by and that was convenient. Even though we enjoyed the property, we thought that the home needs some painting and repairs. It needs to be updated so it could be a beautiful vacation home as it probably was when it was new.

The house accommodated 11 of us with ease. I would specify in the accommodations for the house what type of coffee pot is in the house. It was not too far from the beach which was nice. The mattresses in the bedrooms were very firm which in our case was not comfortable but some people prefer it. Overall it was clean and met our needs. I would come back.

Everything was great except living room furniture needs replaced very uncomfortable

I rented this house for a 5 day trip with my children and grandchildren; 11 of us total. We had plenty of room to spread out. The beach was a little farther than I hoped, but still able to walk to. The correspondence and instructions for the house were very easy to understand and communication with the rental agency was terrific.

Great selection of beach toys and boogie boards and the beach wagon was wonderful! We had a 4 month old baby, so we had to have a tent for her. Disappointed to learn the property's private beach did not allow tents. We packed up and drove about 1/2 mile to the public beach access and that worked out. The house was very clean and we loved all of the balconies. It was also an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go. I highly recommend Kenny D's restaurant across the street from the property's beach access gate. Great food, atmosphere and reasonably priced.
Our bunch also really enjoyed Urban Airz trampoline place and Fudpuckers restaurant. Half Hitch is the best bait and tackle shop in the area, skip Stinky's Bait and tackle 9it's really a bar/restaurant). Overall, we really enjoyed our trip and accommodations in this house and we'll be back soon!

The house was great and we definitely enjoyed our stay there! The house was definitely big enough to house 10 people! The only thing that was kinda of a turn off, but not a deal breaker for us was the carpeted stairs! The carpet needs a good deep clean, or replaced! Other than that we had no issues with the house! Would definitely look forward in staying there again!

We had a wonderful time staying at Emerald Shores!! The house had plenty of space for our 3 families. The short walk to the ocean was amazing!! My boys loved the heated pool. Destin festivities are only a few minutes away and there were lots of grocery options nearby. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook at home. My husband and I loved drinking our morning coffee on any of the balconies. We plan to come back as often as we can!

Great house & neighborhood! Lots of space for 10, except kitchen & no place to store groceries.
We felt that armbands were a waste of $20; was not checked at pool, tram, or beach. Shower head in master 1st floor needs to be attached.
Overall, great place!

8 teenagers and 2 adults fit very nicely into this house- no one slept on sleeper beds but there was room for more if someone did. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with more than enough dishes and cutlery and had every cooking implement we needed. The coffee maker didn’t work and the agency brought a new one within hours. The distance from the beach was more like an 8 minute walk but it kept the kids at the beach with out sand coming in from the kids going in and out frequently. A tram was there occasionally to take you to the road crossing to the beach. There was a a pedestrian crossing right there and cars stopped for us 100%. The beach was beautiful.
I would highly recommend this place. There are no steps involved in the first floor and master bedroom if someone has mobility problems, which was one reason we took this house. Also dog friendly. We had a 65 lb service dog.

Love the place. Very comfortable. Easy access to beach. We will be back again.

Great house, great location. We would stay here again. Enjoyed the family and community atmosphere. Rides to the beach an back were great. Needs a little maintenance, but what house doesn't? Dryer was a little slow, the scrubs outside the patio room needed trimmed, and the trash service was a no show during the week. But overall a great experience. We had 11 people and had plenty of room.

Overall, a nice property-excellent location in a beautiful community. The home is well-stocked, everything you need for a week's stay. Everything worked, plenty of hot water for our group of seven. As others have mentioned, only downside is the home is in need of an update. If you expect a high end finish, this isn't for you. If you are looking for a nice, affordable home close to everything in Destin...look no further.

Rented Martinique for the weekend with my family and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house was clean, spacious, and accommodating for our group of 12. The amenities were plentiful and the attractions were close by, including the beach, which was a short five minute walk. The complimentary golf cart shuttles were a great way to cut the walk a bit shorter. My family has a wonderful time and can not wait until our trip back next year.

We found this house at the last minute and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The house is very accommodating. We throughly enjoyed our stay and kept extending. We were seven people that didn't want to leave the area. We walked to the beautiful beach several times/day.

Relaxing. Close to the beach. Quite, friendly neighbors and neighborhood. The sunrise can be seen from any balcony.

Our family of 10 booked the Martinique for a 5 night say in June 2017. With grandchildren busy with baseball schedules, we were not able to make a week long stay work this year, so it was wonderful that the Martinique can be rented for less than 7 nights.

The realty company managing the property was wonderful. They let us know as soon as the house was clean, which happened to be earlier than expected on our day of arrival and worked out great, since our kids had early flights into the area that day.

The house was perfect for us. There is a master on the upper and lower levels, with 2 bedrooms on the second floor that share a bathroom. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds. The house was clean and the beach cart was much appreciated. There are a few beach toys left behind from other guests, as well. My husband and I drove down in our van and brought another cart and beach umbrellas and beach chairs and toys and such. It is pricey to rent the beach chairs/umbrellas at the beach ($40 per day from what we were told and we would have needed 4 or 5 of those)

The house is just a block from the larger pool. The kids were able to enjoy that pool for just a few minutes one evening but the adults did not get the opportunity due to Tropical Storm Cindy's arrival (no fault of the Martinique folks).

The house is a good little jaunt to the beach with all the beach carts and such but not terrible. There is a shuttle that you can ride, as well. You walk down to the entrance of the complex and then cross a road to get to the beach. Again, not terrible. We had little ones and they made it fine.

The house is a little dated and could use some updates but we were comfortable. If you are looking for upscale and granite, this is not your place. But if you want comfort and convenience to the beach, this property works. There is a Dollar General within walking distance as well, which is very helpful.

I'd definitely stay in this property ag

Wonderful vacation house for a family of nine

The Martinique was nice for our 2 family vacay. 5 Min or less walk to the beach- Plus there's a golfcart that runs back and forth to cut that walk time down even more. The pools are small for the number of houses and guests that are in and out of the property but they were clean. The house was clean but definitely needs some updating. There was plenty of space for our 10 to sleep- the bunk beds on the 3rd level need some tlc, bigtime. They are so squeaky and loud. Our kids slept on them one night and that's it- they kept everyone in that room awake with every toss and turn. The balconys on every lever we're pretty sweet- the side screen porch needs some told as well- over all the house in nice but needs some love- it could be amazing. We enjoyed our stay but probably won't be going back to the same house.

We loved Martinique . It was perfect for our group. When looking at the pics it appears you can park 4 cars in driveway but only two fit. it would be nice to be able to park at other units that are not rented at the time of your visit instead of the pool area

I took my three kids and their significant others to stay in this house in Destin. The size of the house fit us all very well. Each bedroom, though small, were just fine and the main living area and kitchen had plenty of room. The top floor suite was perfect for our daughter's family. There were a lot of nice places to sit and enjoy the view outside as well. The neighborhood is very well kept, clean and nicely laid out. The pool area is very nice and the walk to the beach was pleasant. Overall, a very nice place to visit!
