Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house itself is fine and the front porch is Amazing. While we enjoyed our stay, I have a few recommendations for the owners:The linens / towels were terrible! They were old and worn - felt like I was drying off with sandpaper. The King-Size mattress is severely lopsided. The pillows were FLAT and worn out. Also a blanket or two would be nice. The front yard is a mess and needs cleaning up. Finally, it would be nice to have a couple of beach chairs available and maybe offer a couple of bicycles with the rental. This is the first beach rental I’ve had where no beach chairs were provided. This was pretty bare-bones.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place to stay! We were very impressed with this house! It had plenty of room for everyone. The beds were incredibly comfortable! We loved sitting on the screened porch. The kitchen was well supplied with coffee pots, Keurig, pots, pans, etc. There were plenty of plates, bowls, silverware, etc in the kitchen. It was very clean upon our arrival. It was a short walk, bike ride or drive to so many shops, restaurants and beach access. We will definitely be considering it for our next trip. There was great communication and reminders throughout our stay. Following our stay we thought we left something in the house and we called the company. They very quickly got in touch with housekeeping to check for our item.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is in a great location but needs love. Old furniture, paint coming off walls and old beds. it has the most random cookware and dishes. TVs were monitor sizes and that is a cheap fix. No blankets and bedding was a sheet and a thin quilt. If you rent here bring pillows and blankets and paper goods for sure. Benchmark was fantastic and very responsive. I knew the place was old so that is on me. If they would upgrade the tvs and beds it would be so much better! That being said we had a fantastic time for the price since we didn’t stay in the house much!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this little house! It was perfect for my husband, dog and I. The place was very clean, well stocked and the porch was our favorite! The only downside (which has nothing to do with the property) is the beach access. The public access on Eastern Lake required that you walk through the lake to get to the beach. The other public access doesn't have much room for parking. NEITHER access provides bathrooms. Dogs aren't allowed on the Beaches on 30A, so we used What's Up Dog daycare in Santa Rosa Beach for our beach days. Benchmark Rental agency was excellent with communication and I would 100% work with them again.

This is the second time we are at the cottage. Period. We love the feel of Warm, inviting, setback with nature and privacy. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

The location of this place was great although the next door neighbors are under serious construction (woke up to a crew at 7am on thanksgiving morning). The property is very musty which is to be expected at the beach-the problem was that it looked like they didn’t clean and just doused the place in pine sol, I had a headache for the first 48 hours. I found someone’s wad of gum on the porch table, again, there is no way this place gets cleaned. Master bed was very uncomfy with 10+ year old sheets. Would not stay here again!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is NOT close to the beach. It’s a good 20minute walk if not more. Very disappointed in that. The two closest beach accesses were not convenient. The cottage was clean but the back toilet had been shut off and when we turned it back on water leaked everywhere in the bathroom. So we could not use that bathroom. Day before we left we discovered the kitchen sink was leaking underneath and ran out in the floor of the kitchen. The cottage had not been used in awhile and was very musty smelling. It definitely needs work before anyone stays there again. This was not a very enjoyable stay.
