Great house for a family trip.

Big house, tons of space and storage. Backs up to the wildlife preserve for a great view. Easy walk to both pools and boardwalks. The only downside was that the kitchen maybe didn’t have quite enough servewarw/utensils. But otherwise, 5 stars.

Overall Comment

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.

Lovely Family Vacation House

Gadsden AL

Overall Comment

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.

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.

Better Than Expected!

Overall Comment

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.

This house was perfect for us and our 4 adult children! Great location and the house was well laid out. The golf cart made getting to the beach so easy and even without the beach is only 400 steps away from the front door! We will be back. The only downside we had was the trash can provided outside was full when we arrived. With 8 adults we had quite a few bags that we left beside the trash can. The waste company came on Wednesday and emptied the can but did not take the bags beside it. As a result our Trash can was full once again as soon as they left.

Thank you for the review! We apologize about the trash. The trash company comes by every Saturday and Wednesday to remove the trash.

We found just what we had hoped for in Elephant Walk! Pet friendly, spacious, fairly close to the beach, kitchen was very well stocked with essentials- even a meat thermometer for our holiday Turkey that I forgot to pack. Only drawback was our inability to access Netflix on the TVs. Weather was quite windy and the top story door blew open, causing us some stress, but we eventually figured out how to get it to stay shut.

We stayed at Elephant Walk and absolutely live the entire experience. The house was well stocked with the essentials (i.e., bath towels, a wide variety of pots and pans etc.). The golf cart was an added bonus. We visited the pool closest to the beach and loved it! It was always clean. The overall experience was exceptionally great!
