    Unit old and worn. Unit promoted to sleep 4, but no bedding for sofa couch. Management team slow to respond and only able to provide sheet set on last day of stay. Will be looking elsewhere next year.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice stay including Hurricane.EH exterior has been redone well-fresh coating, new Sliding Glass doors, new grass & dunes in great shape. Unit is clean but feels corporate. Improvements needed-1. only 1 outside patio lounge-need another chair,2.Need more dishes-make them plastic-including glasses, wine glasses, plates so they don't break or you could take to beach.3. Coffee maker on last legs. was tough-no networks hard to figure out what was free-just use ATT or Spectrum. 5.Need a shower mat or bath mat.6.Need more standard pillows.7. Very nice dealing with office on hurricane-lots of updates and fair if we had to evacuate. 8.Initial email communications with staff was slightly intimidating, like getting extra parking if someone visited and cleanup extras and being late extras, beach tags, etc, but after we got there, we realized it was business as usual and easy. We are 80 now and have been coming to EH since late 1980's (my company built in 1983)so we are oversensitive and we do not damage or abuse units, but I cannot imagine all of the types of people who damage units, etc. that you have to deal with so we do understand. We dealt with Seagrove by the Beach realty for so many years and that was just a little easier and friendlier, but we do understand VRBO is now the thing and is new to us. I want EH to always succeed because we built it and we will come back again soon and probably same unit-this is just constructive criticism. Overall-really pretty good vacation on beautiful beach and we had a nice time including Hurricane Helene. The general area of Seagrove, Seaside, Watercolor, etc. in unbeatable and EH allows you to look out window right at the gulf and beaches are best. We ate at Surfing Deer & Wine Bar at Watercolor, we shopped at Sea Side, we got fresh fish from Goat Feathers and I ran every day on great bike bath along 30A. Incredible area for a vacation.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great! Right on the beach. Bathtub needs replacing. It's old and stained so much so that we only took showers. Did not want to sit in the tub! Bed was very comfortable. We didn't see any roaches inside the unit but there were many roaches in the entryway to the unit. There was standing water on the walkway to our unit probably about a couple inches deep. That needs to be addressed. Unit was well-stocked with pots and pans, however there were only 4 plates, coffee cups, flatware, etc. So we had to wash dishes and cups several times a day. We had a lot of trouble with the tv and had to call Benchmark about that. They helped me reset everything, but it went right back to giving us trouble. Also, the Wifi setting did not work with the info on the card in the unit. We had to call about that too and it was a completely different sign-on and password they gave me. It worked after that. Overall, it's a nice place in an awesome location and we would stay there again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First of all, let’s go over the positives. The location is PERFECT! On hwy 30A in Seagrove, you are just far enough away from the hubbub of Seaside but close enough walk there anytime (about a mile). This unit is gulf front lower level on a private beach. You are literally steps from the beach and if you throw open the large sliding glass doors you can hear the beautiful sound of waves all day. It’s so nice to be able to come back to the condo to grab food or a bathroom break. The beach is fantastic for walking. Benchmark (booking agency) handled the booking splendidly; it was ease from start to finish. All correspondence from them was timely and clear. On arrival parking was easy, and the unit was ready and very clean inside. We found the kitchen well stocked and there were plenty of towels and linens. We needed hangers and they brought them over quickly. The floor plan is very nice, with kitchen, dining and living space all together with the ocean in view. We received a credit from Vacazen which enabled us to have bikes delivered to us and we only had to pay $20. We used the bikes daily to go to shopping and out to eat, and everything is so close. That was an added bonus! Now for the negatives....you are greeted with the worst possible doorway. Dark, with dingy walls (mold/mildew stains?)and an old door. If they could just paint the wall it would be improved! Our hearts sank when we realized this was our unit. It was so awful. And someone desperately needs to come and take a look at the furnishings. They are in GREAT need of updating. A new bedroom mattress along with basically new EVERYTHING would really make this unit so much nicer. It feels like nothing has changed from the 1990s. Our thought was that they probably have no problem renting it so they don’t bother. We will definitely look for a nicer place next time we come. Now that we have established that we love the area/beach so much there are plent

    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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 was one of our favorite locations on 30A for the price. Being able to walk right out of the condo down a short flight of stairs to the beach was ideal & having the pool for when the kids were tired of sand and waves was great. We were afforded a spectacular view in short walking proximity to restaurants, rental gear, etc. For us, this offset the other things such as the tiny kitchen and dated fixtures/furnishings. Unfortunately, the main issue we had with this property though was safety and the management company. The unit entrance is basically underground and pretty dark (even during the day). In addition, a male member of Benchmark staff entered our condo without the required notification while my 12 yo daughter was in the shower and proceeded to linger until my husband walked in. When Benchmark was contacted by the sheriff’s department, they justified his behavior by referring to the lease agreement stating that they could enter the unit anytime they wanted.
