Check in was very easy. The house was perfect for our family of 8. The kitchen was very well appointed. The bedrooms were all comfortable, and the views from the decks were spectacular. The location was ideal. We were close to great restaurants and the Publix was only a few minutes away. The beach was not crowded and having the chair service was a real bonus. The management company was very responsive when we had an issue with the air conditioner and sent someone right away. The only negative would be the number is stairs to the beach for anyone with mobility issues. The walking/biking path is directly in front of the house. A great place!

Great Location, House Ok

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: The location was great and is the main reason to pick this property. For the price per week being charged, the house is in need of repairs - there are flooring tiles missing, the trash drawers are falling off, curtains are missing, and the 3rd floor Steam Shower smells like mold covered in bleach. The 2 dryer vents are tied together so if both are running it stops the second one due to air flow fault. The beds were hard and sheets were scratchy. The pool was a dirty mess, though they did come on Wednesday to clean it.Again, the reason to stay here is the convenient access to the beach.

Lovely On-The-Water oceanfront 5 Bedroom 5 Bath with Private Pool

We loved the location. It is really 3 semi-private levels. 2 kitchens and decks off of each level were a bonus.It’s worth the cost of heating the pool for marginal spring days. And, the convenience of our own beach access plus beach chairs and umbrellas included and automatically set up were great.

Great location and amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week long vacation at the property. The house is in a great location, right in the beach with chairs and umbrellas included. The house itself was adequate - it’s definitely a rental property with some wear and tear, but nothing that would prevent us from coming back again to the same house.

Nice Property

A bit older home but reasonably well kept. Had a couple of issues that were remedied quickly by management. Located on a GREAT place on the beach. Amenities were excellent and the separate living areas were well thought out and fit our family perfectly.

The beach, the beach, the beach!

Fantastic location, near shopping and great restaurants. The pool could use some maintenance (heater not great) and updating, but being able to walk right out onto the beach is so worth it. The house was clean and well furnished and easily accommodated our family of 10 adults.

Thanksgiving in FL

We really enjoyed our stay in The Mirage. Prepping food for our Thanksgiving feast was easy with the 2 kitchens. The view of the Gulf was gorgeous and made food prepping extra enjoyable. There were more supplies in the kitchen than are listed on the website, such as: a small crock pot, toaster, a chopper, full size coffee pots in both kitchens, and other things I cannot recall. It was a dream come true for me to have all my family under one roof. The Mirage accommodated all 4 families nicely!❤️💝

I loved it but if you have a sensitive nose you are not going to be happy

i loved it very much. stocked well. beautiful. functional. close to the beach. pool. but there is a leak somewhere in the upstairs that was fresh and flowing. the smell caused me to feel ill it was so strong. it was constant. it was actually kind of horrible. soooo if you are sensitive in the ENT to mold, mildew or damp smell this is not the place for you. i really wish i didn't have to type this last part.

Made for an amazing wedding getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this location for a wedding and the location alone was worth every penny. Amazing backdrop and easy access to the beach made this trip one to remember. It was great having enough rooms and kitchen setups to handle all our family in one home. The few things I would suggest for improvements would be more ceiling fans (especially in the bedrooms) and for the rooms on the lowest level to have some kind of dressers for clothes storage. Other than that there was some wear and tear on the stairs to the beach but I imagine that's hard to upkeep in Florida weather. The house was clean and provided practically everything we needed. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Not as good of service as in the past

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was 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: Benchmark customer service was not a local group but an outsourced overseas contact. We never got calls back in response to our problems. Pool heater was never turned on and no response as to why. AC problems we investigated and fixed on our own when we got no calls back to help. (For whatever reasons breakers were turned off) . Basically not the same customer service we have had in the past. Pool cleaning guy came mid day and then told us we have to stay out for a couple hours, and just threw his hands up when we asked about the heater...as in not my problem.

Great Location, Needs Basic Maintenance

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a great location but the owner should really put some basic maintenance into the house during the off season. Simple things like paint, repairable equipment and grounds maintenance and you would have a much better house. The constant issues we had with the pool heater and the entire two day electrical project were a major inconvenience during our Spring Break week. Management was responsive after I got through the answering service but the issues we were having should have been noticed and fixed during the off season.

Beautiful house

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We had a great time at The Mirage. The pool was great and beach access was phenomenal. Our only complaints were the balconies were not fully accessible to us due to some structural concerns that we were told would be fixed. However, the lumber wasn't delivered until we were leaving on our last day. Also, the listing said there was a pullout sofa bed on the second floor (which we needed) but it had been removed prior to our stay. Overall we had a great time. Fortunately, we are an easy going group and rolled with the flow. But be sure to ask lots of questions before you get there.

The pool was never cleaned during our stay. This was 40 here we rented from benchmark and we paid an additional 4000 hours for an improved house on the beach. Very disappointed in the overall home and disappointed with no resolution offered by benchmark. Will not use them again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi,We enjoyed our week at the mirage. We have attached several pictures. While the interior was very nice and clean, the outside really needs some work. The paint is very weathered and many rusted areas. Including the outdoor light fixtures. The grill was not clean and we did not feel comfortable using it. Our master bedroom has mold/mildew on the walls by the tv and we experienced difficulty breathing. The toilet paper holder is about to fall off the wall. The shower was also moldy in many grout areas. The ants on the pool deck were everywhere. There is also a large wasp nest under the 2nd floor deck.The house is nice on the inside but the outside was very disappointing. The beach access and chairs were great.Sincerely,Lisa Malladyimage0.jpegimage1.jpegimage2.jpegimage3.jpegimage4.jpegSent from my iPhone

Private beach front

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a wonderful location, very close to Alys beach and not far to Rosemary. The private, direct beach access was so wonderful with kids. The pool is decent sized for the area. The beach area in front of this property is very private and there weren’t crowds of people. The house accommodated 3 families. The house, however, has been ran pretty hard this summer, it appeared. It definitely needs fixed up throughout, but it was very clean and met all of our needs, it just wasn’t the luxury we were used to from some other rental companies in the area. The dishwashers are horrible and both of them would not clean the dishes so that made for an annoying week in the kitchen. With some needed updates this place could be a 5 star property.
