It is great to know that you appreciated the nearby attractions and dining options. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another fantastic stay! Sincerely, Benchmark Management
This house was exactly as advertised. It felt brand new, was super clean, well stocked, very comfortable, and the check in process could not have been easier. We had lots of space for our group of four. (There are a lot of stairs in the house, so keep that in mind if stairs are an issue for you). It's in a perfect location, just a short walk to the beach and our favorite places of Shunk Gulley and Growler Garage. We'd highly recommend this home, and this area.

We stayed here for our fall break trip and had a great time! The house was in a great location, very close to the beach access, shopping, restaurants, and a quick drive over to Grayton or Seaside. This house had a great layout and the back patio area was a great bonus. As always with Benchmark, the house was very clean upon arrival with the bonus of travel size soaps and lotions in all the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room. Highly recommend this house!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 October 2023
Brittany, we can't thank you enough for your fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to learn that your fall break trip at our house was a resounding success. It's wonderful to hear that the house's location proved to be so convenient, with easy access to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We're also delighted that you appreciated the house's layout and the additional perk of the back patio area.
At Benchmark, ensuring the utmost cleanliness is a paramount concern, and we're pleased to hear that the house was in impeccable condition upon your arrival. The inclusion of travel-sized amenities in all the bathrooms, the kitchen, and the laundry room is just one way we strive to enhance your experience.
Your heartfelt recommendation holds significant value to us, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to host you again in the future. We sincerely appreciate your choice of Benchmark for your getaway!

House was exactly as described. Loved being only steps away from restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream, shopping, and most importantly, a beautiful beach. Our families came together to enjoy the 3 levels of this tranquil home. The 2 upper level balconies and large front porch was especially enjoyed for sunrise and sunset. We were there during the coldest time of the year, and had to reach out to the Benchmark Management team for assistance with the heat. Not only was the response time within seconds, by multiple staff members, but a maintenance person was dispatched immediately. I felt like we had true VIP treatment! Benchmark continued with a follow up to ensure our visit was as expected. Both management and maintenance staff were prompt, professional, and super personable. We would definitely recommend this listing, and look forward to being able to return again in the near future.

We normally stay in hotels but decided to give a house on 30a a try. It was perfect! The house was beautiful, clean and very comfortable for our party of 5. While we didn’t cook, the kitchen was immaculate. The bedrooms were spacious. And the front porch was perfect for morning coffee. It was a 3-4 min walk to the beach - just straight down the road (with sidewalks) and an even shorter walk to restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream and gift shops. It was the perfect location - not in the business of Seaside, but close enough for a quick drive, very close to the beach and anything else you might need on vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall a nice house and a nice experience. Very large & spacious home with most amenities provided. Extremely disappointed in the fact it smells strongly of a smoking home when it’s listed as non-smoking. I had to return home and wash all of our clothing/luggage to get rid of the smell. Also, there’s not near enough living room furniture to match the size of the home. Our family of 6 struggled every evening finding enough seats to relax and had to use hard chairs to make the difference. The upstairs balcony door didn’t latch properly which is a major safety hazard and there’s currently no ‘gulf view’ as listed due to new construction being built right in front of the home. Also, there are a LOT of steep stairs between the levels of the home if that’s an issue for you. These are just a few of the things that we noticed that were frustrating to our family but we made some great memories together & that’s what is most important!
