Great vacation

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 enjoyed our stay. The only thing is the walkway to the beach had some screws sticking up. Needs repaired.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 September 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Commodore's Retreat. We appreciate you bringing the issue with the protruding screws along the beach walkway to our attention. We will share this concern with the appropriate team for review and follow-up. We appreciate you letting us know and hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm Regards, Benchmark Management

Condo was newly renovated with coastal decor. It was very clean. Condo was directly on the beach, which was wonderful! Check in process was easy. Only thing I would change, is to have a separate washer and dryer. Can’t wash/ dry separate loads and the combo unit takes hours to dry.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Michelle! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the newly renovated coastal décor, cleanliness, beachfront location, and easy check-in process. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the washer/dryer combination unit. We understand how having separate machines would be more convenient, especially when washing multiple loads. We’ll certainly share your suggestion with the appropriate team. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience.

The location of this condo is amazing! Short boardwalk, complimentary beach chairs, quiet, and clean! Check in and check out were super easy and convenient. We found the king bed super comfy, the balcony view was beautiful, and overall our stay was perfect. I love that there are complimentary beach toys and board games for use at the condo, it’s a great touch! Two things to note: the blinds/curtains in the bedroom don’t quite block out all of the light from the walkway outside. If you’re super sensitive to light when you sleep, I would recommend bringing an eye mask. The other thing is the washer and dryer are a combo machine- this means it can take longer than you might expect to get your laundry dry. We didn’t have any issues, and didn’t mind, but it did take nearly 2 hours for our clothes to dry fully.We are already talking about booking this condo again!

Great property! Newly updated! 2 complaints: Owners do not cover cost of 2 beach chairs/ umbrella rental. First time I’ve ever encountered that with any Commodore’s Retreat property. No ice maker in freezer. Ice cube trays were a disaster!

Hi Tracy! Thank you for your review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the newly updated property and had a great stay. We also appreciate your feedback about the beach chair rentals and the ice situation. We understand how convenient it is to have beach chairs included, and we'll be sure to share your comments with the owner for consideration. As for the ice cube trays...they definitely aren't winning any "Vacation MVP" awards! 😄 We'll also review options to make that experience a little cooler for future guests. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway soon! Best regards, Benchmark Management

The best part of this stay was ease of access to the beach. I loved that we could be from the condo to the beach in just a few minutes. Communication with the property management was the best I’ve ever experienced. They were proactive in checking in on us during our stay, to be sure everything was as it should be. I only have a few comments of constructive criticism I’d offer. I would clean the slats of the door leading to the A\C unit. They were very dusty. One of the wine glasses in the kitchen also had lip marks on it. In general, I would touch up the walls, and replace the shower curtain and rod.

Location was awesome and the ease of access to the public part of the beach was great! The condo was beautiful inside and was very nice. Beautiful view of the ocean and beach from the patio. Beds were comfy. Great WiFi service, check in was easy. A few things I wish I would have known before booking: 1. Benchmark Mgmt makes you sign an entirely different set of rules and regs and charges additional fees. 2. Even tho they use email to communicate with you, they don’t answer via email, only thru the booking platform messages. 3. A day before we arrived they finally told us golf carts are not allowed on this property but I had already paid money and reserved one and this information was NOT included in any of the extra paperwork, disclaimers or in the property listing. So be aware of this. We rented a cart anyways and parked it in public parking, but it was a bit of a stress. I kept worrying they would fine me or tow the cart. Ultimately it was fine and no one said anything and we saw two other families with carts also. 4. There are beach items at the condo. There were already two chairs and boogie board and beach toys in a wagon. We added an umbrella and another chair. The mgmt company will tell you that it’s not included in the property and that you must rent these items from 30A shade. Save yourself the 50/day! 5. One roll flimsy TP for 3 ppl for a week. Be advised. No spices, no extras. Just FYI.
