Reviewer Comments:
We have rented Bella Vue the past several years, but it was unavailable during the time slot that we needed this year, so we rented Here Comes the Sun, which looked to be comparable in size. We were pleased with the floor plan, but the kitchen stove is in horrible condition. We bring our own food to largely prepare from scratch, and it was tough to use this stove, which has to be the cheapest model available, and it was quite literally falling apart. The "stove vent" does not vent to the outside, and merely recirculates air, which is a disaster when trying to cook a full meal for a large family. The unit was not very clean inside, and was quite filthy outside. The screened porch and furniture were so dirty that we could not sit on them. The screens were in very bad shape with several large holes. The yard crew came by while we were there, and their idea of cleaning the outside is to blow leaves and debris into the air and let it settle back where it was. The outside of the house was in pretty bad shape, with missing shutters and siding at various places. We were very disappointed that The Martinique has not cracked down adequately on "freeloaders" who are too cheap to rent beach chairs and umbrellas, but who drag their stuff onto the beach and set up directly in front of those of us who have paid for chairs and umbrellas. Despite signs saying not to do it, many leave their stuff overnight. Also, they set up on the refuge side, despite signs saying not to. If we are going to pay $380.00 per week for four chairs and two umbrellas, then the Martinique needs to start charging these freeloaders a daily fee to set up their campsites, and to police where they set up, especially cracking down on people setting up tents directly in front of the line of chairs and umbrellas. Overall, we were very disappointed.
