Gulf Front, Amazing Views, 3 beds/2.5 baths, Pool + Free Attraction Tickets!

Enjoyed 5 perfect days …the property was exactly as described. Highly recommend the unit. Would stay there again. Comfortable beds. Plenty of beach chairs toys etc. kitchen had all the amenities. Only suggestion would be that unit should provide coffee filters. View was amazing. Unit was updated and spacious.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was great! Clean, perfect location, and beautiful. Unfortunately while we were out for breakfast, two people showed up to do maintenance at the condo and we were not informed ahead of time nor did Benchmark know who those people were when we contacted them. So we came home to strangers in our place and Benchmark didn’t know. They did give us one nights credit but we were there a day and a half and he spent part of that time watching our stuff while the strangers did maintenance. We appreciated Benchmark responding but due to safety concerns, we won’t stay with them again

We loved our stay - the property was beautiful and close to the beach. Very clean and the beds were comfortable - the porch was lovely. Only concern was the wifi - if you need to work while you’re there I would suggest a mobile hot spot - otherwise a fantastic place!

Nice large kitchen with plenty of plates and utensils to have meals at the condo. The property was clean and there were 6 of us staying there. Our sons are tall, 6'2 and 6'4 but both slept in the xl twin room and had enough space to sleep comfortably. Our bed was very comfortable also, and we had plenty of towels. The amenities exceeded my expectations because there were beach chairs that we hadn't expected! We would recommend this condo.

The condo was very nice as was the beach, but the construction going on was very awful. We were told we would hear back about our concerns and never have. I was very disappointed in this rental company. We go on vacation every year and would never use them again!

Plenty of room for 6 adults to comfortably stay and had hoped to have 8 but 2 were unable to join us. Clean, well maintained and perfect for us. We did have a slight problem with Master Bath having an unpleasant odor after showers but solved the dilemma by running fan and closing bathroom door. Kitchen is well stocked with a double oven, nice sized fridge and plenty of bathroom towels and washcloths. Bring your own beach towels and take them up on beach chair rentals, the company they suggest is also wonderful. The management was prompt and responsive when we let them know about the odor. And you cannot beat the views!

The Plugs did not work in either upastairs Bath, I don't use a Hair Dryer , my wife does. We called on 02/02, a man came out and said he did not know how to fix Breaker 13 Benchmark said an Eletrician would be forthcoming. This never happened...... We also mentioned on 02/02 that Ants were on the Kitchen Counter, the Exterminator was prompt. 2 weeks later the Ants were back. The Front Left Burner on the Stove did not work and the Front Right did not heat evenly. The Floor in the 1/2 bath definitely needed to be cleaned, i took care of this. DV 5A is Magnificent at our ages the steps were a bit much this trip. We reserved Beachside #1 for 2024.Many Thanks, Scott and Michele DeCleene

Reviewer Comments: 5b ProsLocationViews for daysStorage for beach itemsQuite family friendly5b consMaster bathroom absolutely STINKS/SMELLS! The toilet is too low smells and needs to be replaced. We kept the fan running and the door closed the entire stay.The master bathroom needs to be replaced. The sink light was hanging off the wall.2nd bathroom same here. It needs to be replaced.The shower curtain has mildew or mold all over the bottom of it. The artwork is falling of the wall.The ceiling in the living area has mildew or mold around the air vents.The appliances in the kitchen all have rust stains on the outside of them.Stuff is jammed packed in the lower cabinets comes across as unorganized and junkyDishwasher doesn't work with pods we washed things twice I ended up hand washing most of the time.Air conditioner works but not the best still had to use floor fans to keep the air moving and cool. Air conditioner leaked to the bottom unit.We never called Benchmark about concerns we didn't want to deal with maintenance issues on our vacation. Housekeeping should be informing about these kinds of issues. 5b needs a deep cleaning needs paint touch ups throughout new bathrooms and tlc it's starting to show its wear and tear.

The location was great. The unit had everything we needed and was clean. The A/C was not sufficient in the second bedroom and the loft. Fans and a portable A/C provided cooling and air flow to make those rooms comfortable. Adults, watch your heads in the loft. Suggestion - move the bike rack so that 5B guests can back their car out of the parking space. Overall, it was great. The credit for beach gear was nice. The company said that we had only $20 for each day of a 7 day stay, tho our rental agreement said we had $245. Somehow I was charged about $13 for running over my credit, tho I did not. We searched for a full day for the things we had arranged to be delivered bc we were not told where they would be and then were given the wrong info. Despite the confusion on amount and drop spot, the credit was a nice bonus.

Perfect location on the beach. Walking distance to several restaurants and easy bicycle ride to the square.
