Cute little beach getaway, but nothing too fancy...

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: Just a cute little spot on the water. This place will have mostly everything you’ll need. There’s nothing about this place that went above and beyond, but did the trick. A couple of things we noticed:Kitchen trash can is brokenLight above the stove doesn’t workNo beach towelsRusted outdoor loungerNo comfy outdoor chairsNo tissuesDamaged wall in the bathroom A floor length mirror would be a nice addition Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would probably spend a little more to have a more elevated experience next time.

Fall Break

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The unit itself was nice. Small, but I knew going into it that it was small. The kitchen was decently stocked with pots and pans but could use some more utensils. The location was fabulous! Short walk to the beach was nice with littles. Commodore's Retreat needed some TLC. The building needed some attention and the pool was disappointing. The patio around the pool area was narrow and slanted, not level. The weeds were taking over the pool deck and surrounding fence. The ramp getting to and from the pool area was dangerous and broken. The pool was not used by my family, which is a bummer considering it's nice to have to get a break from the ocean or if the ocean had double red flags for the day. Benchmark Management answered all questions and was easy to contact with quick responses.

Nice relaxing get away

We enjoy this location as it’s a bit off the beaten track but close to everything . The property could use a little updating and clean up . The ac units in the garage are slightly & the piles of beach toys and chairs at the entry to boardwalk is a real eye sore and obstacle course to get by at times . Much of it looks like it’s been there for quite some time . Aside from that we had some internet issues on your last night prohibiting us from tv or laptop usage . The unit was perfect for us , clean and great view . Wish it had the rugs on the floor that were shown in the pictures but I think maybe they were pulled up due to being aged and worn . Hopefully they will replace soon .

Perfect place for myself and daughters. Easy beach access and chair service was wonderful! Condo could stand a new rug or two but being outside most of day it didn’t matter. Great trip!

Needs Refreshing

While the location is ideal, the property is in need of upgrades. The rugs are very worn and appear dirty. The comforter on the bed was once pretty but now has tears in it. The pillows need replacing. The kitchen is somewhat under-equipped. It could be refreshed easily.

Great location, a little worn

The location was perfect, but the space felt a little worn. It clearly was renovated with newer finishes, but the area rugs looked dirty and fan in bathroom and vents needed to be cleaned. We didn’t have any extra toilet paper or paper towels and had to go out to get some and it would have been nice of beach towels were provided for the price we paid.

Great stay for anniversary

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Our anniversary trip and stay at CR was terrific. We were more than satisfied with the accommodations - the bed is comfortable and kitchen is well stocked, the AC works great, and the view is unbeatable. We would recommend the addition of a few beach towels, another reclining chair on the balcony, and a trim up of the palm trees. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this incredible location, which is close to amazing restaurants and shops!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The interior of the condo was nice and it had everything that is needed except for a hairdryer. The exterior of the building needs cleaning and refreshing. The key fobs needed for entry to AND exit from the beach were especially annoying and since we only had 1 fob and a possibility of 6 people in the condo was highly inconvenient. I would suggest a key code instead of the fob. The water went out in the entire building while we were there. I used the “text only” to Benchmark and no one ever answered my text message. Luckily it was only off a few hours. Inwould have to think hard about renting a condo again that Benchmark managed.

Enjoyable location

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: The condo was nice and fit our needs. Great location to the beach and many shops and restaurants. It was clean and all of the check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. We would 100% stay here again. The only things that were a little inconvenient were that they only supply one roll of toilet paper, no paper towel, one trash bag and no small kitchen things like salt & pepper or cooking spray. Also the palm trees off the balcony obstruct the view of the beach and ocean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was so great! Very clean and spacious. The only complaint I would have is of the view from the balcony. My husband and I had to take turns looking at the view because of whatever is growing in front of the condo is taking over and we only had a small window to view. The beaches were so clean and the water was gorgeous!

Beautiful Beach Front

Just as pretty as online photos- perfect location. Balcony was lovely- I would suggest the management trim the trees that are partially obstructing the view if sitting on sides of balcony . We centered the patio furniture so that we could see the beach better . Only unpleasant moment was when pest control knocked and used code to enter the condo while my wife was alone changing into her swimsuit and could not get to the door to say it wasn’t a good time . Awkward moment. Would have appreciated a phone call from property manager letting us know to expect pest control and avoiding a surprise unexpected opened door at the most inopportune moment.

Beautiful Condo on the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Pros: This is a lovely condo in Seagrove. The furniture all seems to be new and is very nice, and the bed was very comfortable. I love how the condo does not have a bunch of knick knacks everywhere. It is very clean and spacious.The balcony has a gorgeous view of the ocean and we ate breakfast and dinner out there every day. The location is right on the beach and there is a boardwalk where you can leave all your beach toys/chairs overnight. It's so convenient!There is trash on the property. It seems like someone should come by twice per week and clean it up. Sadly, I guess guests throw their trash on the ground or it blows out of the dumpster. Especially after it flooded from a big rain, there was trash all over the place.This is the lowest floor but we didn't have a problem with noise from the neighbors. The condo was very quiet and cozy.There is a small pool that is great for taking a dip in after the beach.Cons/Suggestions:Add a couple of luggage holders for those sleeping in the bunks/sofa bed as there's nowhere to put suitcases.The two chairs in the living room are very pretty but not comfortable for watching movies; form vs. function: it's a debate we have at home, as well. It would also be nice to have some throw blankets in the living room and maybe some board games for guests to use.The building has two shopping carts for guests to use for loading/unloading their cars. It would be very handy if you added about 4 luggage carts because on checkout day one condo hogged both the grocery carts.Lastly, it's not obvious where the lint trap is for the dryer, so I hope they will tape up instructions. The washer and dryer, though, did work very well.Lighting-I know this is picky, but please change the lighting to all warm lightbulbs. The cold bulbs are awful, especially when the natural light is so warm and beautiful.
