This is our second visit to Martha’s ( I can’t find the review I did last year though- maybe I didn’t post it right?!?). We stayed 2 weeks last year and 2 weeks this year. It is, in my opinion, the best place to stay on Big Corn and also has the best beach. We always rent the 2 bedroom beach house plus we have additional family who come and rent rooms upstairs. Our group consists of a 4 year old, a 7 year old, my husband and I, my mother, my 2 aunts and one uncle ( and this year my cousin and her hubby, both mid 20’s, came as well) Both types of accommodations are always clean and very comfortable. Martha and Elroy and absolutely wonderful people who my children have come to totally adore. They main employee, Wallen, is an amazing guy who treats us so so well. The children call him their friend for sure and he treats them like gold, shows them interesting things around the yard and teaches them things about island life. We will always come back to the Corn islands knowing we have such a safe, friendly, comfortable place to stay.

We've been to Corn Island before but this was the first time at Martha's and we'll definitely stay there again. The facility has 8 rooms, is very well maintained and clean, and is half the price of some other places you could stay on the same beach. Breakfast is included and while the staff definitely has a laid back attitude, they are all very friendly and helpful - it's island life. and on vacation, who really needs to go at the same speed as real life? To that end, there is free wifi but as everywhere on the island, it is sketchy at best. Be warned, Martha doesn't take cards anymore so you need to go with cash. Their restaurant right on the beach is open until 2pm; they don't serve dinner. Hands down the best beach for swimming and families.

Martha's sits on the nicest beach on Big Corn and is a quaint enough little place. However we did not have a good experience at all.. We took a small room with our family to wait for a bigger one to open up the next day, which is fine. But our shower did not work at all! They didn't know when/if it could be fixed, which meant showering a screaming toddler in the cold outdoor shower. Showers break, it happens, we are understanding of that. However what literally shocked us is the absolute unwavering demand that we still pay full price for the room, even though the shower still didn't work! In fact when we agreed on the place they said breakfast was included, as we are all there and they know it's two kids as well, but the next morning they wanted to charge $6 each per child for breakfast. That combination left us rather angry, so we changed accommodation in the midst of a torrential downpour. The location and property are fine, but the way the broken shower and breakfast were handled were almost unbelievable! Very disappointed.
