This Gulf Shores Vacation Rental was recently purchased and renamed 'Sara's Saving Grace', formally known as "Julia's by the Sea". This one story, three bedroom, 2.5 bath beach house is a relaxing retreat from your every day life. Conveniently located on a large corner lot, across the street from the Martinique outdoor & indoor pools, kids can easily walk to the pools. It's a very short walk or bike ride or golf cart ride to the beaches, fitness center, or tennis court. This one story, spacious, open concept home offers over 2,000 square feet of living space, large master bedroom with new king bed and new top quality mattress, large walk-in closet and large master bath. The house also has three porches, outdoor shower, charcoal grill, garage, electric golf cart, and a wonderful backyard view of the 4200 acre Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge.

The interior of the home has been completely repainted (February 2015) and is newly furnished. Updates include a new sofabed, chairs and tables in the living room, new Sealy king mattress in the master bedroom, new furniture in all bedrooms and a new flat screen tv in each bedroom as well as a 47" LCD TV in the family room, and a new charcoal grill, purchased.
The master suite has a large master bath with garden tub, separate glass enclosed shower, double vanity and separate commode room. Other features include outside shower, 12 foot ceilings, ceiling fans, central heating and air conditioning, and lots of storage area.
You'll find a spacious living room, dining room and fully appointed kitchen with breakfast counter, refrigerator with icemaker, microwave, dishwasher and laundry area with full size washer and dryer. Just off the living room is a large screened in back porch with a wonderful view of the wildlife preserve. Perfect for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee or a cool drink after a day at the beach.

Don’t stay in this house!

We LOVE Martinique, but don’t stay in this house! Pick any other residence. House was dirty. Blind in the master wouldn't close. I had to change clothes in the closet. Stove top didn't work. Windows and screens had mold growing on them. Patio furniture was filthy, and paint would chip off onto your skin, if you sat on it. Ceiling fans were caked in dust. Mattresses and pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. Bugs all over the house. Golf cart was duct taped together. Microwave was rusty. Light bulbs were burnt out. Kitchen sink faucet was broken. All the furniture was worn out. The kitchen table had a chair with no seat in it. I have picture of everything. I texted and called property manager with NO RESPONSE!

Least possible service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation experience was a 1 out of 5. This house has zero beach towels, zero beach chairs, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, one garbage bag. That's it. They expect you to bring these items to vacation with you. There are no extra sheets or blankets for the pull out couch. There are two grills. Both are charcoal and both should be thrown away because they are in such disrepair. Don't expect to have a fun family bbq at this house. The gym needs a special access badge that was not in the house when we arrived. It took more than 24 hours to have it delivered. The wifi never worked on the trip at all. The management said they were working on too many other issues to fix our wifi. This house is nice, the "staff" was awful. To top this off, we left a cooler in the room. It is obvious that the renters shouldn't leave stuff. However, when we asked the staff, they were rude and non-responsive. They found the cooler, which I am thankful for but when I asked for a simple status update they took multiple days. Actually, it took 13 days to respond to a question for a status update. The bottom line is the location is great. The house is better than average. The staff doesn't know what good hospitality looks like. I would rent from another owner in this property, not this house.

Beautiful house with plenty of amenities

We have been staying at a friend’s house in Martinique on the Gulf for many years. This was our first stay at a different property. It was absolutely beautiful, well located and immaculately clean. All is exactly as described. Ignore the prior reviews about the kitchen. It is well appointed with high-end appliances and has all of the cookware you would ever need. But, this part of the Gulf has incredible fresh seafood, so make sure to also get out to the MANY great restaurants within a 3 minute to 15 minute drive from this house.

Sara’s was a great spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was better than expected — very spacious, lovely decorations, perfect location. The kids enjoyed the easy access to the heated pool and riding the golf cart to the beach. As others have said, supplies are bare bones — bring your own cleaning supplies and everything else you can think of.

Peaceful respite during crazy times

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was immaculate and wonderfully located. A 1 minute walk to the nearest pool and a 3 minute golf cart ride to the other and the beach. BedsWerr comfortable and shower pressure amazing. Only short coming is kitchen supplies. Only 2 large and 1 small frying pan. Made cooking meals a bit trickier than expected. Grill is charcoal which prevented us from using (too much time and effort). I would highly recommend!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great home with plenty of space, a great location, and a very professional management company. Check in and check out were a breeze, the home was clean, and the description is accurate. The pictures are not up to date as some updates have been made (carpet, paint, bedding). My only disappointment was that there were no cleaning tools (broom, dust pan). There was a vacuum that was not working properly. Due to Covid I brought cleaning items (bleach, additional dish clothes & towels, sponges, dishwasher detergent, and dish soap) because I did not know what would be available. I was glad I did because there was nothing. The home was clean, but I would have liked to been able to sweep up messes. In addition the kitchen had basics only. Again, I brought items (sandwich bags, garbage bags, paper towel, napkins, paper plates, body soap, toilet paper, kleenex) not knowing what would be provided due to Covid and I needed all of the above. I would stay at this property again, and recommend it to friends. I would definitely suggest brining extra of what you use daily.

Sara’s Saving Grace

We loved this property! Such a plus to be a single family home! The community was outstanding, all the natural growth made it feel so welcoming. All the houses are nestled into the natural beauty. The golf cart was a big selling point for us too. It made things so much easier going to the beach and just strolling the community. I would highly recommend staying here😎 Oh yeah and no stairs!!! Woohoo!

Lovely house in great neighborhood

The home is perfect for families with children. We loved the location, convenient access to beach via quick cart ride, and the quiet surroundings in Martinique neighborhood. Home included all of the essentials, and the property owner was very helpful with what to bring, etc. We will gladly stay here again.
