This is the cutest house. It was very clean and perfect for my family of 4 and my brother’s family of 3.
Location was perfect to access the beach for golf carting.
We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the house both clean and cute, and that it was a perfect fit for your family and your brother’s family. We’re also glad that the location made your beach access convenient. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!
Cute house in a great location. Overall, house was clean but found multiple pieces of trash in the couch or under chairs so not thoroughly checked. House temperature regulation is difficult with the 2 rooms upstairs. Our upstairs light also didn’t work but management tried their best to get someone out but problem wasn’t solved during our stay. Pack extra paper products as there were not many include.

Hi Alyssa!
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for rating your stay 4 stars—we truly appreciate it.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its location. At the same time, we’re sorry to hear about the cleanliness details that were missed and the inconvenience with the upstairs light and temperature. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. While we did our best to assist during your stay, we regret that we weren’t able to fully resolve everything in time.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we’ll be using it to improve our cleaning inspections and maintenance processes moving forward. We also appreciate your note about paper products, as it helps us better communicate with future guests.
Thank you again for staying with us—we hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even smoother and more enjoyable visit.
Best regards,
Benchmark Management

This was the cutest little condo. Proximity to beach and the square was good. We did have AC trouble two different days, one of which was a Saturday, and we had no air from the time we woke up until about 5:00 pm. Needless to say, it was HOT! Other than that, our stay was nice and the condo is as pictured.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Ok but wouldn’t choose again for that price
Clean inside. Nice finishes. Exterior needed cleaning and had a lot of weeds. Mstr bath had barn door that gave no privacy. Up left bath has lots of steps inside the bath. Not very safe. One skillet w no lid and no other pots or pans to cook with. Not super long walk to beach. Nice front porch. Sleeps 10 but only 6 towels for showers/baths. Neighbor behind has commercial outdoor lighting that shines in master bdrm at night.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Not up to standards
Door from master bedroom to outside would not open. Had hard time opening door and closing door on side to go to backyard. Weeds were terrible. Only given a roll of toilet paper for each bathroom which was nothing for 10 guests. Concrete where parking was, was broken up, hard to park. There was other places to stay for less money and better.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, the property is a great location on 30-A and to the beach. It's a cute house, but needs a deep clean and more attention to detail and maintenance of both outside and inside items. There needs to be a deep clean of cabinets and drawers especially in the kitchen. Some of the glasses and utensils were not clean. The toaster and coffee maker were not clean. I found hair in the drawers of the primary bathroom. The primary bedroom/bathroom doesn't cool down enough so I'd be scared to stay there in the summer. Thankfully, we had a box fan that we used in addition to the ceiling fan. We had to lower the thermostat significantly. The outside needs updated mats (dirty) and furniture repaired (loose and fraying pieces). The primary bed mattress is needing replacement - it is breaking down. We considered sleeping in the upstairs king bed but the mattress was worse. The walls needs to be cleaned, especially in the primary bathroom and some corners that have been damaged need repair. The living room sectional has some type of wood block as a temporary fix to hold it up. The TV cable running across the living room is very unsightly and is not shown in the property photos. Regarding the management company, I called as a noticed flying bugs. I asked them not to come during the day as my husband was at the house working, but they sent someone anyways. While we liked the area of Eastern Lake, I would not stay at this house again nor recommend it. That’s very sad as the house has the potential.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was nice enough... We had a big issue with wi-fi and cell service though (there was none... no wi-fi, no cell service - we had to walk a block just to get a signal). The company kept saying they'd send someone out to fix it, but no one came. A day later I asked about this again, they acted shocked that someone hadn't shown up & said someone would be there soon. When no one showed up (again) we ended up calling the service provider directly and they said the mgmt company had made an appt the following week to fix it... but the mgmt company just kept dodging our questions and acting like someone was coming to repair. It was just a very strange experience and didn't appreciate the lying. Bring your own cleaning supplies, none were provided (even to wipe down counters). There was some water damage on the ceiling in several spots. Couldn't really enjoy the backyard because it was SO overgrown. Nice neighborhood, close to beach and restaurants.

Andrea,
We will share your feedback on matters outside of the home with the proper team in hopes the landscaping can be addressed soon if it hasn't already. We apologize that you feel we lied as that was not the intention. Unfortunately, during busier times there is a lot of stress on the networks. We cannot control the strength of the signal and internet provider choices are very limited in the area. Had we been able to improve this issue for you quickly, we certainly would have. We do our best to provide all guests with a 5-star experience and we falter from time to time, so we appreciate your honest feedback. We have taken your comments into account and will do our best to provide better beach vacations for all moving forward.
Sincerely, Benchmark Management
