About this property

Gulf-Side, Modern Coastal Design, Family Friendly + Free Attraction Tickets!

The owners of 232 first came to the white sugar sands and the emerald Gulf waters in 1992. Beachside Villas soon became their home away from home, and we all hope it will become yours too.

This 3-bedroom condo is bright, bold, and modern with a Floridian flair. With pops of blue and soft creams and greys, you'll enjoy the updates all around. The kitchen opens to the main living space with eating for 2 at the counter and additional dining seating for 4 at the table. Grab a seat outside for a quick snack or to enjoy an afternoon cocktail. Each bedroom has a TV for all your entertainment needs and there is a stacked washer and dryer in the unit for your convenience.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Bedroom 1: King bed with private bathroom and balcony access.
Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds. Shares bathroom with Bedroom 3.
Bedroom 3: Queen bedroom with desk. Access to .5 bathroom attached to shared bathroom.
There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room.

If you’re ready for a beach day, head down to your access right at the end San Roy Road, about a 4-minute walk. Enjoy both the Gulf and Eastern Lake. This is a 2+ acre stretch of beach with plenty of room and is the recommended beach for your stay at Beachside Villas. And, for your convenience, Beachside Villas provides transportation to and from this beach access via golf cart service from March – October (please call us for specific dates).

Beachside Villas has such a great family-friendly atmosphere. Enjoy a game of shuffleboard, tennis, or pickleball. You can even grab pickleball equipment at the onsite HOA office. Soak up the sun at either one of the 2 pools. One of the pools is heated seasonally. Grill up an amazing BBQ feast on one of the community charcoal grills. The location can't be beat - quiet and secluded but close to everything you'd want to do on your 30A vacation: fantastic restaurants, shops, golf courses, and bike rentals. Seaside and Rosemary Beach are just a few miles away.

Book Beachside Villas 232 and enjoy exclusive Xplorie perks! one ticket per day, per activity! (over $700 in nightly value) Experience axe throwing, ziplining, and sunset dolphin cruises. Play golf at Emerald Bay and Regatta Bay, enjoy Black Light Mini Golf, and have a blast at Urban Air Adventure Park. Your vacation will be more than just a stay—it’ll be an adventure!

Hello Roy, Thank you for taking the time to review our unit. For check-out instructions; we ask for the trash to be taken out, all linen and sheets in a pile, and for all dishes to be washed and put away. The beach access for Beachside Villas is going through a legal battle with the private homeowner next door. The complex has purchased a deeded beach for its guest at the end of Sand Roy road. It is about a 3-minute walk from the complex. Also, the complex provides a tram to take the guest to and from the new beach access. We hope you will return to 30A soon!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was perfect for our girls trip! One of the best for items needed in kitchenware including waffle maker. Condo was clean and as described.The only downside is beach access . While unit is very close to beach actually getting to the water is a bit of a task.

The Perfect Family Retreat

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: We booked this unit for a quick family vacation before our kids went back to school and it made going back to reality so hard! The location was perfect, having us within 5 minutes of many of our favorite restaurants, a quick walk to the beach, and even still has some slim views of the Gulf from the balcony. We had 4 adults & 3 kids and there was plenty of room for us all. The trolley to the beach was a huge plus especially since we brought great-grandma along! The clean was amazing, with plenty of soaps, linens, and starter goodies. Benchmark sent the information on our unit and the area well in advance so we were all able to pack accordingly and truly relax the moment we arrived. The community was full of friendly people and we felt right at home, the kids making plenty of friends at the pool. We’ll absolutely return to this unit in the future!
Response from VrboOwner on 13 August 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that the location, cleanliness, and amenities helped make your family vacation so enjoyable and relaxing. It is great that the trolley and nearby restaurants added to your convenience, and that great-grandma was able to comfortably join in on the fun. We love hearing that the community felt welcoming and that the kids made friends at the pool as those memories are priceless! We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and preparations, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back to this unit in the future. Regards, Benchmark Management

Nice rental but inaccurate description.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of six stayed here and had a nice stay. We made the best of the circumstances. First off it’s listed as having a master suite with king sized bed. It’s a queen bed with king bed in the front bedroom. The kitchen sink faucet was so loose it was difficult to operate one handed. Kitchen was poorly stocked for cooking. The beach access is pitiful. Yes it looks close but there is currently there is a legal battle over who owns the beach. So we had to shuttle to a public beach for rented beach chairs. Overall the condo was small but fine. The floors needed mopped as our feet turned black without shoes when we first arrived. I realize the sand makes a mess and house keeping difficult but should have been looked. Finally benchmark was very difficult to get a hold of. I tried calling multiple times. Emailed multiple times. I was just needing information on beach access. I finally reached someone and was inquiring on changing my stay dates and was charged $27 just for questioning it? I had to email and ask for myPasscode for the door. I would not stay at this property again.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 October 2024
Thank you for staying with us! We’re glad to hear that your family had a nice stay. We will ensure that our team checks to confirm that the bedding description matches the unit, as we understand our guests make plans based on this information. Your feedback regarding the kitchen inventory has also been noted, and we apologize for not having it adequately stocked with utensils, cookware, and glassware. We regret the issues you faced with beach access; please understand that this is beyond our control. Your comments about the floors have been taken into account, and we appreciate your understanding given the nature of a beach rental. We will work to improve the condition of the floors going forward. We are sorry to hear you had trouble reaching us by phone. During busy seasons, call volume increases, but we do make it a priority to return every call before closing hours. Regarding extensions of stay, we never charge guests without prior approval. When a guest requests an extension, we check the pricing, inform them, and ask how they would like to proceed. We have always accommodated guests who needed to adjust their plans after adding a night. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. We hope to welcome you back for a much better vacation experience that we are confident we can provide. Regards, Benchmark Management

Nice place-nowhere to sit at the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Unfortunately the space at the beach was small due to the private owners forcing people off of “their property” on a daily basis. Therefore, hundreds of people were forced to cram ourselves into a small portion of the beach.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
Hi Roy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We were happy to have you and are grateful for your response. We are anticipating the end of this beach issue like everyone else. We can understand the from both points of view and we think that Beachside Villas made the best decision to move their beach area for everyone. Although it is not right across the street it is now down the street which is a 3 minute walk or they also provide a tram to take you back and forth. Hopefully this resolves the crowded issue and provides everyone with room to move around and enjoy the beach. We work hard each and every day to bring ours guests the best vacation experience. We can’t wait to see you again. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Good location with great management

The management was super helpful with a couple of things that came up. They went above and beyond to take care of us. Like making it easy for us to extend our stay by a day. The condo was nice the carpet isn’t great but not a deal breaker. There are 4 houses being built so there isn’t a huge view of the ocean but you can still see it. Beach access is super easy but once you get there it is tricky finding a spot. The only public beach area is where the tide is coming up. Still not a deal breaker. I just got up earlier to claim our spot. Overall we’d stay here again.

No A/C and 87 degrees in the codo, Bad experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very 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: I am upset with your company. We were with no air conditioning for 2 days. Your company did not relocate us and did not reimburse me for the two days that were terrible staying in the heat in the unit. I understand that things happen but your company should have done more than 2 box fans to make our stay more comfortable. I had three small children and four adults that slept and stayed in the heat for two days. I will never use your company again. I have tried to call your company and have not received a call back from your manager.

Unfortunately these things do happen and we pride ourselves in taking quick action - which was the case here! We diagnosed the problem and had a brand new AC unit installed all in less than 24 hours! We work diligently to ensure that all of our guests are able to have an amazing vacation! Should you have any questions, please call Benchmark directly and we would be happy to tell you all about this great condo complex and answer any questions you may have! Book with Benchmark today!

Needs updated photos and interior. Beach access is complicated.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: View of beach is not accurately represented in the listing pictures. The pictures need to be updated for renting purposes. There are now 4 massive concrete structures which are privately owned blocking the entire beach view except for a small sliver. The owner of the 4 concrete buildings also owns the beach in front of them, so you fight for beach position unless you go before 7 am. You can only put your chairs either behind someone on the left side of the beach access or in “wet” sand on the right side of beach access which means we had to walk 100 yards to find a beach position once down on the beach. There is a security guard at the beach telling you to move your belongings to wet sand. You cannot set up your beach items in front of the privately owned (4) concrete structures unless in “wet sand.” It should be noted this condo is in building 2 which is far from the beach- approx 100 yard to the board walk. Only building number 1 is further. The unit bathrooms are also extremely outdated. The worst part of the condo is the carpet in the bedrooms. In less than an hour of being there my 1 year old’s legs were completely black from crawling around on the rugs and carpet. The carpet needs to be changed and the rugs need to be shampooed. We closed the bedroom doors and put pants on her to help keep her clean. It was disgusting. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this condo to anyone with small children or anyone elderly as my grandmother had a hard time climbing the 2 flights of stairs up to the unit, walking 100 yards to the beach, and 100 additional yards to our beach chairs. We will not be staying at Beachside Villas again until the beach situation is sorted out with the condos in front and private owner with the 4 concrete homes. Very disappointing situation at Beachside Villas.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are planning to update the photo's but want to wait until everything has been completed to avoid having to have photo's taken again just shortly after. It is very unfortunate about the private beach being established beside the public access but that is something that we are not able to do anything about. We do try to communicate that with our renters at Beachside Villas as we don't want them to have any surprises. We will be passing your concerns about the unit itself to the correct people to address them. Hopefully, during off season, we will be able address some of the floor concerns with the group doing the deep cleans. Also, the first number of the unit at Beachside Villas always indicates the building number! We hope all of this does get sorted out too as Beachside Villas is a great place to be! It's so close to the beach and very family friendly. We hope you do come back and stay with us again! Thank you, Benchmark Management.
