Gems by the Sea

Stayed 2 weeks - wished it had been longer. Very lovely and well decorated home. Very comfortable and roomy.

While driving down received a call from Martinique informing us that there had been a miscommunication concerning checkout time with them previous occupant but they could move us to another house (Gems by the Sea) for the same price. After quickly viewing the property we gladly accepted. I’m sure the first place was acceptable but we were extremely pleased with the three bedroom, two bath Gems by the Sea. Martinique is our favorite beach destination and we especially enjoy the one story cottages like Gems. Beautifully decorated, clean, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and convenience of a single story house. I highly recommend and will certainly return. PS: air conditioner stopped cooling on the first day but the Martinique staff called a repairman and had it fixed within 3-4 hrs. Stuff’s gonna happen, but the test is how quickly it gets resolved.

I have stayed for years here & this home had everything we needed & more. Beautiful decor & very clean. Will definitely book again & bring less stuff.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. We attended a family reunion, made use of the beach and smaller pool. Our house was perfect, had enough room for 18 people to eat together between dining room, living room and porch. Loved it, thank you!

We have stayed at Martinique three times. The first two times we rented a condo. This time I decided to rent a house and I'm so glad I did! Gems By The Sea is an absolutely beautiful home and we will definitely stay there again. We had a wonderful vacation!

Great house - bright and cheerful! Two golf carts was a wonderful convenience also.

Everything about our stay at Martinique and specifically Gems by the Sea was perfect! Location, staff, comfort and cleanliness, appliances, kitchen, bathrooms are all due an A+. Temps were cooler than usual, but the sun was wonderful. We used the small gym but only viewed the beautiful pool and hot tub. Sassy Bass provided quick access to Market, pizza, and liquor store. We had excellent meals in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. New restaurants include The Diner (across from Tacky Jacks#2) and Hogfish Grill (across from a fav Brick and Spoon). New to us and ready for Madrid Gras, Acme Oyster Restaurant did not disappoint, and at Big Fishs happy hour, we had our evening meal. Sunday brunch at newish Ruby Slipper was a real treat. As you can tell, we ate, worked out, and felt right at home in Gems by the Sea.

Very nice. First time i had rented a house like this..the Management team made it easy with all the different..don't forget this..emails..The house was super clean and luxurious..we was impressed. Two nice pools..golf carts and bicycles to ride..couldn,t ask for a better time..awsome beach that wasnt over crowded.

Love Martinique and Gems by the Sea-nice and quiet street perfect for a relaxing vacation.

The house is nicely furnished, although I wish they would clean out the garage. They also need to install a garage door opener. We like that security was more evident with them checking for swim tags, would like to see better enforcement of no kids in hot tubs or driving golf carts.

Our family loves coming to Gulf Shores Martinique. It is a beautiful, clean property and it is in a quiet location, which we love with 2 small children. The only real negative is that it is decent drive into Gulf Shores for groceries and many restaurant and activities, but our family believes it worth it. The only real complaint is that the pools were not heated this time of year (end of April). With the air temp barely reaching 80 for the high, the water temperature was a little on the cool side.
