302 West

Wife and I stayed at 302 W in Martinique condos on the beach. First time at Martinique for us. Have spent 30 years staying at Orange Beach. Loved the beach view and quick access to it (as well as pool). BonSecor refuge makes Martinique a beautiful and quiet location. 302W is a two bedroom. Unit was nice, not over the top. Carpets, appliances, some furniture could use some upgrades but everything was functional. Porch furniture was ok, No lounge chairs. Would highly recommend the 3 bedroom corner units with much larger porches. Tara was very helpful at checkin and actually let us know via text that we could come a little earlier than the 5pm check in. We hit the beach at Martinique as well as Fort Morgan on our sunny days. Beach was awesome. Also did the pine beach trail (10 mins away) which was a beautiful hike. Work out room was good and equipment worked well. Hot tub was also great. Didn’t use the pool on account of the chilly temps but both pools looked very nice. Unit also had some nice portable beach chairs we took down to the beach. Bring extra TP and paper towel as only starter rolls are provided. You are also responsible for taking garbage out to dumpsters, ie no garbage shoots. Did daily walks out to 180 and checked out the rest of the Martinique community. A very beautiful gated community. One tennis court that includes pickle ball lines. First come, first serve playing. Gulf shores only 15 minutes away but Tacky Jacks and Sassy Bass were really good local options. Had a great time. Weather cooperated most of the time. If you are looking for a more quiet, back to nature place, this is it!

Had a wonderful time here for our family’s spring break. The condo was perfect and had everything we could have asked for. It was so nice we stayed here the entire week and barely ventured out. Clean beach, quiet, if seclusion is what you’re looking for this place is perfect!

Rented 302 West for a long weekend of work and relaxing while working on our condo at Beach Club that was damaged by hurricane Sally.

Came in on the tail end of Laura before Labor Day. Checking in was nice and they were ready early. The A/C needed a maintenance call and they got it all squared away within a few hours while we explored the pool.
This is a wonderful unit. Five stars for everything but the place could use a few updates. Mainly bathrooms, countertops and fixtures. Still very clean and comfortable.
We recommend the state park in town for awesome biking trails.
This complex is quiet and private. Sitting next to the Bon Secour Preserve there were extraordinary birds within short view.
Looking forward to next time. Thanks for everything.

3rd floor 2 bedroom unit was tastefully decorated and had great views!! The jellyfish were out during our stay so we were able to use the pool. Well equipped but is ready for new towels. Overall rating very good.

We had a wonderful time at Martinique and would definitely recommend this property for future renters. The only thing I would do is change the pictures of this rental because it has been remodeled and looks wonderful with new flooring in the livingroom and kitchen with no green rug. It was a pleasant surprise when we walked in.

We had an incredible experience at Martinique! The home was clean and cozy!

Overall, terrific to be back in this unit. The kitchen is better equipped than many others that we've experienced, and the property has been very well maintained. Changes to the cable service resulted in some confusion with using media products, and there were some dysfunctional remotes. But the real prize in being there is the easy access to the beautiful Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge and Gulf front beaches. Would easily recommend this property to others.

Our stay at 302 West was so relaxing and so fun! The Condo is lovely and the whole property is well kept in a beautiful setting. The office is staff is always there with a smile to answer questions and help meet your needs. The maintenance crew is also terrific! They were there within a very short time if for some reason we needed them. Kudos to everyone associated with this property.

This is a great property! My only recommendation would be to upgrade the king sized mattress in the Master BR.

Much needed down time. My wife and I work high presser jobs; and Martinique is our oasis away from all of that! Fantastic condos, right on the beach. Exactly what we needed. Thanks to your wonderful staff, including those maintenance men that keep the little things running.

We have stayed at the Martinique numerous times for many years prior to 3 years ago due to buying a condo at the Beach Club. We sold it last year so naturally we would go back to the Martinique. We were always impressed at the high standards of the property and every unit we have stayed in. However, this particular unit did not seem to meet those past standards. Just seems to be in need of repair and renovation. For example: cracked tiles, soiled carpet, appliances, closets unkept. Bedding/pillows poor in quality.

I would rate the furnishings as very nice.

We had a wonderful time a Martinique.

There is a mind and body shift that occurs on arriving at Martinique. As soon as the bags and cooler are unloaded and we catch our first glimpse of the Gulf and inhale the salt air, our pulse is set to the rhythm of the surf. We suspend time and exhale. We are at the beach! Martinique is an uncrowded, peaceful paradise on the edge of the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge so our long walks were accompanied by beautiful great blue herons, brown pelicans and gorgeous and ever changing views of the sea, sky and dunes. Our unit, 302 West, was comfortable, bright, carefully cleaned, and cheerful. It was the perfect place to relax and be in the moment . And yes, we ate our chocolate too!

Been coming since 2003. Still our favorite vacation destination.

This particular rental was just beautiful. It was more than we expected or even needed.

We enjoyed our stay at Martinique. The beach is not crowded and the property is not a high rise. This was our second stay at Martinique.

This condo was perfect. You almost have a somewhat private complex beach. The pool area was stunning. We prepared a couple of dinner meals using the community gas grill and the condo owners supplied everything you might need to feel right at home. It was very quiet during our stay and having the preserve made it very peaceful while on the balcony while enjoying the view of the ocean. We thank you for letting us use your condo we will definitely be back.

Nice would be easier if the pantry were not locked.

The location and view were simply wonderful. The resort is beautiful. My kids loved the pool and easy walk to the beach. I used the workout room a couple of times and it had everything I needed. The condo was nicely furnished. A couple of issues we had was that the King in the master was extremely uncomfortable. The memory topper just sags, it needs to be replaced. We had terrible back and neck pains - the padded loungers by the pool were more comfortable! We had to hunt for the wifi code, we found it under the router. The bedroom door to the balcony will not close properly. When we arrived a chair was wedged there. We had to keep it there as it blew open in some windy weather! The unit was not as fully stocked as some condos I have stayed in. You will need to bring trash bags, dishwashing soap, laundry detergent (one sachet is provided, but you have to use it to start a wash when you check out) dishwasher tabs (again one is provided, but you have to start the dishwasher when you check out) other condos I have stayed in have salt, pepper, sugar, foil, spare batteries, flashlight and some even have a welcome pack, like a pizza and bottle of wine. I am not expecting that but just to know that I guess housekeeping clear EVERYTHING out of the kitchen. Overall we loved the resort and had a very relaxing break.
