Gems by the Sea

We originally had a five bedroom house, but because of the hurricane, eventually switched to two single homes. Both were well appointed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I have one complaint. Having checked several times to be sure there would be no construction in the two houses we eventually rented, upon arrival we realized that the screened in porch and one of the properties did not have a door and desperately needed screens. We stayed there for days before this was completed, while having workmen there while we were there.

Having inquired several times to be certain that this would happen, I was very disappointed. Since we are trying to stay outside and keep germs at a limit, the use of this porch became very important. There is also a large piece of equipment left on the porch which meant the young ones couldn’t even go out there at all. No compensation whatsoever was offered. Disappointing

Awesome stay at Gems By The Sea. It was perfect four the five of us but could have easily slept 7. Our family has been coming to the Martinique for over 15 years and it is always the picture perfect getaway. The home was super cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen and two golf carts were an added bonus. The screened in patio was perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee during the rainstorms we had from hurricane Hannah. As always the grounds were pristine and all the beautiful foliage makes you feel like you are in a tropical paradise. We felt safe with the covid 19 precautions in place even at the pools. More wonderful memories were made!

Lovely, well decorated and supplied home

We have rented Gems by the Sea many times. It's perfect for us. It's a beautiful single story home and perfect size. When we walk thru the door we feel like we are at home. We love alot of tge updates to the kit hen and also the curtains and accessories are beautifully done. Addition of appliances in kitchen a great addition. The one major thing I would replace carpet with in the bedrooms is hardwood floors.I think it would put it over the top gorgeous.

It's always very quiet and so relaxing to get away from the every day hustle and bustle. And close enough to the tourist things and sights that you can still experience that as well.

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.

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.
