Great Stay In Martinique
We booked this home last minute and it was perfect. Clean, spacious, private in the back. Very nice screened in porch plus deck. Perfect for us and 3 adult children. Lots of toys in garage for beach, chairs and gulf cart. Property has two really nice pools and great gulf beach access. We enjoyed our stay.

Family Vaca
LOVED our stay! Quite golf cart community with multiple pools, gym, tennis court, and beautiful tropical landscaping. The house and furnishings were very comfortable and felt like home. The beach was not overcrowded like Gulf Shores can get. With the nature reserve being next to the neighborhood, you could take a short walk down the beach to feel alone. There were chairs and lots of beach toys to use, but you will need to bring beach towels and a tent. There is a dollar store just outside the neighborhood that is very convenient for beach things and small groceries. While the house looks like it may be far away from the beach, it was a very quick and easy golf cart ride or bike ride away, and there is cart and bike parking right at the beach entrance. We really enjoyed it and will definitely stay here again!

Oasis next to wildlife preserve
We enjoyed our stay at this large, open, well-equipped house. The back porch is feet away from the Bon Secour Wildlife Preserve and is very private. The golf cart makes trips to the beach easy. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath was great for grandma, grandpa, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.

Tropical Haven
The property was great and located in a beautiful little community that we enjoyed walking and exploring on the golf cart. The property manager was wonderful, the AC was not working properly after our first night, I contacted her and she had someone there and had it fixed with in just a few hours. We will definitely rent again in the future.

Perfect getaway
We are repeat vacationers at the Tropical Haven and look forward to going back every year! The amenities are great, the kitchen has everything you need - we've even cooked a Thanksgiving meal while there! The owners have bicycles for every age available, pool and beach toys, chairs, etc. The kids love riding the golf card the short distance to the beach and my husband loves the availability of a gas grill for relaxing evenings. The beaches are beautiful and the environment is quiet and relaxing. Looking forward to our trip next year!

Spring Break
The house was great! The kitchen & main tub faucets leaked. The house looked like we were the first people to be there in awhile and could use a deep clean. We will be back later this year! Loved the beach toys and such! Directions for using the TV would be helpful but it kept us off the TV for most of the visit!

Wonderful, will definitely stay here again, Cindy was very helpful and answered my questions quickly and well. No problems what so ever, golf cart was wonderful going back and forth to pool and beach. Also other reviews said there was problem with the golf cart, totally working fine, and the new coffee maker is great also. I would recommend and I am pretty picky.

Best Girls Trip Ever!
Tropical Haven is truly a haven! It was absolutely perfect for our spring break trip! The home is beautiful and it has everything you need for your stay. There are plenty of chairs, beach toys and bikes in the garage and using the golf cart to get to the beach is such a treat. We sat on the screened in porch every morning drinking our coffee and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Martinique is just gorgeous; we love the landscaping, the pools and the workout center and the beach is one of the best! We would highly recommend Tropical Haven and Martinique! We certainly hope to return soon.

Martinique on the Gulf - Tropical Haven
Property Manager was excellent and very helpful! It was an extremely easy check-in and check-out. Property was excellent for our family, and better equipped than any we’ve rented. Only problem was parking. Very much a hassle with two cars and wanting to use the golf cart. You can’t park a car on the street, golf cart is in garage, and driveway is only single car width. You’ll spend great portion of your vacation jockeying cars around.

Great house
The house was fully equipped with everything needed just like at home. Golf cart was a bonus to get to the beach. Well stocked sand toys, chairs, rafts and bikes. Basically everything needed for the beach without having to bring them from home.The complex offered 2 great pools. Unfortunately, the dishwasher was broken so we had to hand wash everything. It was rough frying bacon and eggs due to lack of teflon pans. Lastly, the carpet was worn and in dire need of cleaning.

Wonderful experience
The house was delightful and exceeded our expectations! The house was very clean inside and out. We had Plenty of room for a family of 4 to stretch out. The kitchen offered nearly everything needed to cook with regards pots/pans/silverware/utensils. Rooms were comfortable and our children enjoyed the TV’s in each room when we weren’t at the beech or pool. The indoor/outdoor pool near the house was a huge hit for our kids. The beach was absolutely beautiful and clean. The property sits next to the wildlife preserve so the beach has never crowded. We didn’t use the pool next to the beach but it was a popular hangout for most families. The golf cart was a huge bonus and a hit with the kids, it made going to the pool and beach easy and fun! The neighborhood is truly amazing and very quiet and peaceful! We will absolutely plan our next family beach vacation at this neighborhood and this house!

Amazing stay
This house was fantastic. It was much more spacious than we anticipated, and fit our family of 6 very comfortably. Everything was well stocked, from kitchen gadgets to towels and basic toiletries. We bought groceries and were set, all the cooking utensils we could need were there. So many thoughtful touches as well, such as beach toys and chairs, grill, bikes, and golf cart. The community feels extremely safe and family friendly; my kids loved the freedom to ride bikes around the neighborhood. Very little traffic, most guests seem to bike, walk, or golf cart around the community. No problems at all using the golf cart to get to the pools and beach. Also noticed all other guests were respectful of one another (observed quiet hours, supervised their kids, etc). Convenient location away from the touristy part of Gulf Shores, just about 10-15 minute easy drive to be in the center of town. We had great communication from check in to check out. We hope to return, it was wonderful!!

Wonderful vacation - we are in love with Gulf Shores!
The house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a gated, private resort community and was perfect for my family! We had four adults and children ranging in age from 3 to 11 years old. The house is a lot bigger and more updated than the photos reflect - everyone had all the space they needed. With a covered front porch, open back deck, and screen-in back porch, there were plenty of spaces to choose from for hanging out, eating meals, and relaxing outside. For the cooks, the kitchen was by far the best equipped than any rental I've stayed in. We had every dish, pot, pan, and utensil we needed for preparing meals, and plastic cups and dishes for the younger kids. There is a large flat screen TV in the spacious living room and smaller flat screens in all the bedrooms. The wifi worked great and the TVs are capable of streaming your favorite channels. There are a lot of board games, cards, and puzzles for indoor fun. The garage was full of beach and pool toys, floats, chairs, bikes, etc. for guests to use, and the biggest hit of all - a golf cart! The neighborhood was quiet and the pools and private beach access were only a 2-3-minute golf cart or car ride away if you're hauling stuff, but it is very walkable too. One pool (our favorite!) is at the end of the boardwalk and overlooks the beach with plenty of seating in the sun and in shaded areas. The indoor/outdoor pool was nice too and both pools have tables and chairs for eating. The main Gulf Shores Parkway and public beaches are a 15-20 minute drive offering shopping and lots of fun things to do. There is also a brand new Dollar General right beside the resort neighborhood which was unlike any I've ever seen offering food staples, some fresh produce, beer and wine, and a good variety of beach stuff. It was so nice having a variety store so close for quick trips for snacks, ice, beverages, and little things we/the kids needed. The property host clearly put a lot of thought, care, and attention into creating a beach vacation home that is very well suited for families and children. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores, AL and we all had an amazing week and were already planning on coming back next year by day two!
