Couldn’t be happier with this place and management. Just like the amazing pictures, but what you don’t see is how well thought out all the details are and how well the space is used. The owners clearly have excellent aesthetic sensibilities, but they also seem to know exactly what guests need - especially a family of four with teenagers.The main room is split from the hall where the bunks are, and there’s a way through the bathroom that lets parents move around the condo without disturbing the kids. Plenty of hooks inside and out for hanging all the swim suits and towels, a great split bathroom configuration. Many listings say “steps from the beach” but this first floor unit with a huge porch and deck is basically on the beach and about 100 yards from the ocean. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was a bit of a sugar ant problem - but management was very responsive and sent bug spray over right away. We will be back and would recommend the condo to anyone.

Our stay was amazing with the ocean just steps from the condo. The place was spotless, comfortably furnished, and perfect for our three night stay. The management was incredibly receptive and even let us check a few hours early. The sunsets were spectacular and we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening. We highly recommend this condo.

Would definitely stay here again!

We loved this little place and would definitely stay here again. Benchmark was GREAT about communicating with us, it was very clean, and we love the location. We loved being on the ground level with 2 small kids, they were able to play in front of the unit, and we loved that this unit was the last one, so no one needed to walk past us. It was great.

An amazing stay in 30A

We just checked out today and absolutely loved staying here. The location was amazing to visit all towns nearby and you can’t beat being right on the beach. We never had to carry a million things bc we could just go back and forth. The condo had everything we may need and was clean, modern and updated, we felt like we were at a resort. Communication was also amazing and always just a text away. Will definitely look to stay here again when coming back to 30A.

Cozy Condo Seagrove

We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully redesigned condo. It’s so nice to sit on the patio and watch the ocean waves. Walking out to the beach is a breeze with just a few steps away. Our daughter & family live nearby and came to visit twice. The only negative is there was no where to park their car. Only 1 parking spot provided.

The condo was beautifully decorated and clean. The view of the gulf was spectacular. It was wonderful watching the changing colors of the water and the sand was like sugar. We were on ground level so we could walk directly out onto the beach. Very few steps to go up and down. We were sent the incorrect address and entrance code. That was quickly rectified
