Gulf Views & Quick Beach Access, 2 Pools, Tennis + Free Attraction Tickets!

When you walk up to the condo door there was floor paint that had bubbled up and was peeling all over the place—that you had to walk over/through to get into the unit. Living room sofa was dirty. Chair was actually broken. They called and brought a new chair the last day of our stay. It was brought in soaking wet from the rain. Super musty smell in the condo—especially primary bedroom. Primary commode ran constantly. Water stains on ceilings. Last full day of our stay, a patch of the ceiling fell off. Sliding door didn’t lock/had a piece of wood to hold door in place. Various lights that didn’t work. Generally, just not well-maintained or updated. When concerns reported to management, they offered a minimal discount on future stays, but no compensation towards this recent stay.

Amazing location with everything nearby!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great trip to this property. The unit itself was clean but the furniture is worn and you could definitely use more seating in the living area. The bed pillows were all super flat (so much so I had to order pillows to be delivered from Target after the first night) and the beach access to set up chairs and umbrellas is actually very inconvenient- The map makes it look way closer than it actually is and hauling stuff and toddlers down the beach or San Roy road was sort of awful. The shuttle is only mildly helpful because it drops you off at the end of the road and you still have to walk a distance to get to the water's edge. We enjoyed the property's pool and tennis court.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is in a great location, peaceful, beach was lovely. I really loved the little neighborhood you're in. Easy access to restaurants and Publix. The accommodations are basic Florida but met our need and we were very comfortable (could use more places to sit - watching movies at night). A LOT of rules on the grounds and the beach access is confusing, we were asked to move a few times. Where you can sit changes throughout the day. We made jokes about it but it's something to consider. The PRIVATE signs on empty beaches brings a weird vibe. The property managers try to compensate with the trolley but manage your expectations. I would return and fell in love with the whole area but the beach rules make it a headache.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off, trying to reserve a place from 1000 miles away with only pics to go on sometimes raises your blood pressure, especially at the prices things are now, so it had to be nice and it had to click off 3 MAJOR items for us right off the bat. We had stayed with Benchmark on another place nearby so we knew it was going to be nice. 1-CLEAN, 2-NO ANIMALS, absolute DEAL BREAKER for us, 3-NO SMOKING. These three things ensured a nice place for us. A few things we were surprised on though. No hot pads, only one dish drying towel and only a Chinese sponge for dishes as we hand wash dishes, and some of the dishes and utensils had dried food on them. Minor details as we washed everything first anyhow. A great place, we would go back at that price.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at many different beach places, mostly at places owned by a person/persons. Very few were owned by a company and we saw a huge difference here. Everything was very small and basic. Nothing extra or special even though we paid the same as the other places. We were a little disappointed . The one great thing was our guy who drove us back and forth to the beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was on the 3rd floor with a nice view to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped and everything was working from internet to washer/dryer. For the price, I would have expected a larger and newer apartment.

Such a wonderful stay at such a wonderful location!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were unimpressed with how up tight the place was. From abrasive and extremely strict beach rule, abrasive and stressful check in check out policies, to wrist band wardens constantly making people feel uneasy. I witnessed multiple families with kids that were staying there get kicked out of the pool with no opportunity to go find their wrist band. This is a family vacation spot and there are enough stresses with kids, but benchmark adds another level to it. Don’t go if you are taking a family with young kids. Also if you have other families that you want to connect with in the seaside areas during your trip, don’t expect to be able to see them anywhere near a benchmark condo because they wont be allowed to come in. The public beach is the only option and you will get yelled at even for walking across sugar dunes. I wouldn’t recommend it. Also the roof was under construction while we were there and nails flying off the roof and all over the ground made it dangerous. The only bright spot was Steve the shuttle driver who was laid back and treated us with a positive and relaxing vacation vibe. Look elsewhere for a better experience.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No one available at office to speak to. Had to call or text with several issues. Problems started when checking in and could not. Dirty door and wall at entrance. Several other issues, too many to list. Only beautiful part about the trip, we were with family and was on a beautiful beach. Will never rent again.
