This condo was really dirty. The cabinets and chair backs were sticky and needed a thorough wiping. The trim was dusty and filled with cobwebs. There was broken glass on the counter in the upstairs bathroom that no one ever cleaned up. The curtains had dead bugs on them. The ice maker was just gross. You could see the accumulated dirt from people's hands reaching for ice. A really thorough cleaning, and this would be a great rental, but it was not in good condition. And no, I didn't want to open the place up to strangers to clean while we were there because of covid. The front desk workers and maintenance people also did not wear masks. The resort itself is nice, but this unit needs someone to do a deep clean, wash the curtains, haul away the broken grill and start fresh.
Perfect Vacation!

We loved everything about Martinique on the Gulf and Balise du Lumiere. The house was perfect. We loved the screened in porch and how spacious it was. My daughters loved having the golf cart to get around as well!

We like to go to Gulf Shores because of the short drive. It's only about a 4 hr drive. We took the ferry and we were to the room 10 min off the ferry ride. Pretty amazing! This year we stayed at Martinique. The place Balise Du Lumiere was perfect for me and my family. Nice walking path to that I enjoyed with my grand baby and husband. When I tell you convenient. I mean it! The place comes cart, that allowed you to pack up and head to the beach! Which we did every day. Two pools we barley used cause we loved the beach. I highly recommend. We will be back. We were 100 satisfied!
I forgot to mention it's only about 15 minutes away from heart of the action but for enough away for the escape that I was looking for.
A Great Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Balise du Lumiere. It was well stocked and clean with some updated furniture. We have stayed here for years and have been very pleased. Martinique also quickly responded to our request for more hand towels. The cleaning crew only put one pillow on the master bed, but this was quite minor. Found clean pillow case and pillow and added it ourselves.

Lovely time and enjoyable to be back at Martinique
This was our 5 th trip to the Gulf Shore area we decided to try something different because a lot of the high rise condos amenities were closed or under construction from the hurricane! We were not disappointed I loved the gated community and easy access to our side by side unit, the master bedroom bed was really comfy and we enjoyed our coffee in the AM in the screened in porch! We swam in the indoor pool every morning and walked to the beach every morning and or evening! We also enjoyed playing tennis and took the gulf cart to the pool at night! We had a couple small issues but the maintenance guys were fast and efficient and very friendly! I would definitely stay here again!
