Sunset Serenity at Lake Martin
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Sunset Serenity at Lake Martin is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo retreat in Alexander City, Alabama, set directly on the shores of Lake Martin. The unit offers a private balcony with panoramic lake views, making it a standout choice for travelers seeking a quiet waterfront escape rather than a conventional hotel stay. Note that the condo association requires a minimum stay of 6 nights for all reservations.
Rooms & Living Space
The primary bedroom includes a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, while the guest bedroom offers a queen-size bed and access to a second bathroom with a tub/shower combo. An open living area provides comfortable seating and entertainment options, and the full kitchen is equipped with a microwave, oven/stove, making it easy to prepare meals in. A washer is also available for guests staying longer stretches, which suits the property's 6-night minimum stay policy.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to two resort-style community pools, including a zero-entry pool suitable for all ages, plus an outdoor grill on the private balcony for lakeside cooking. The property is air-conditioned and heated, smoke-free, and includes free Wi-Fi and free parking. Year-round deep water access supports boating and water activities, though guests should be aware that Alabama Power manages seasonal lake levels, which typically drop in fall/winter and rise again by March.
Dining
While the condo has its own full kitchen for self-catering, the surrounding area offers numerous dining options within a short drive, including Prime Steakhouse, Oskar's Cafe, Niffer's Place Lake Martin, The Burritos Corner, The Social at Lake Martin, and the more upscale SpringHouse fine dining restaurant. Seafood lovers can also reach Wharf Casual Seafood Alexander City, though it's a somewhat longer drive.
Location
The condo sits near notable Lake Martin attractions such as Chuck's Marina and Chimney Rock, and it's roughly a 30-minute drive to Auburn, home to Jordan-Hare Stadium for football games. Montgomery Regional Airport (about 70 km away) and Columbus Airport (about 89 km away) are the nearest air travel options for those flying in.
Best for
This property suits families and groups seeking an extended lakeside vacation, thanks to its two bedrooms, full kitchen, washer, and kid-friendly amenities like the zero-entry pool. It's also a strong fit for couples or small groups wanting a relaxed retreat with private balcony sunset views and grilling, or for Auburn football fans looking for lodging within a 30-minute drive of Jordan-Hare Stadium. The 6-night minimum stay makes it best suited to longer getaways rather than quick overnight trips.
Travel tips
Guests should plan for the condo association's required 6-night minimum stay when booking. Since Lake Martin's water levels are managed seasonally by Alabama Power and typically drop between September/October and rise again around March 1st, those planning boating or dock access should check conditions ahead of a fall or winter visit. A car is recommended, as the nearest airports (Montgomery Regional and Columbus) are roughly 70-90 km away and area restaurants and attractions like Chimney Rock and Chuck's Marina are spread a few kilometers apart.
