There are plenty of different accommodation styles on Martinique, and many travelers delight in the opportunity to rent property - from apartments to islands - for the duration of their stay.

While rentals are popular, all-inclusives are, perhaps, even more popular. As a result, travelers can even find rental properties that act as an all-inclusive resort, with everything from airport pickups and transfers to all your meals included. Of course, rental properties can come in many shapes and sizes. One of the most popular ways to rent on Martinique is to rent an island. Off Martinique's windward coast travelers will find a number of small "Ilets", small islands that are rented, lodging and all, to travelers.

Travelers looking for a less secluded vacation may enjoy a visit to a country guesthouse. While these come in two styles - self-catering, and those that are more like a bed and breakfast - travelers find plenty of ways to enjoy these unique options. The self-catering Gîtes de France are scattered throughout the island, and offer travelers the chance to explore the culture of Martinique.

In a self-catering guesthouse, travelers usually rent by the week, and may find themselves sharing the residence with up to 24 other guests, though they can be rented out on an individual basis as well. These are popular among families especially. Rental properties can offer travelers many incentives, a kitchen to help them save a bit of money during their stay by cooking in, and a feeling of having a true home away from home are just the beginning.
