Fantastic location with beautiful views of the ocean from the balcony. Very comfortable beds. beautiful walkable community. Just know that it is about a 10 minute walk on the boardwalk to the beach.

Our family had a great time. The layout of the house was perfect. Only thing was parking. We didn't have access to the garage and had to big cars. Also, we were not able to get an entry pass for the gate until day 2.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 August 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are glad to hear your family enjoyed the layout and had a great time overall. We are sorry for the inconvenience with parking and the delay in receiving the gate entry pass. For future stays, please be sure to check in with Security upon arrival to receive your pass right away. We also outline this in the guidebook sent prior to arrival. We appreciate your understanding and hope to host you again!

Far and away our favorite 30A rental to date. The accommodations were warm and welcoming - more space than our family of 4 needed. We spent a lot of time on the multi-level decks, the ocean views being a highlight. We have already booked to return for Fall break next year and look forward to being return visitors for years to come.My only feedback: the condo is minimally appointed with basic necessities compared to most others I’ve stayed at. A single roll of toilet paper per bathroom (no extras) and no kitchen trash bags provided, felt like management cutting corners.

Hi Kim!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that this was your favorite 30A rental and that you enjoyed the space, ocean views, and time spent on the multi-level decks. It’s always a pleasure to welcome families who make the most of their stay — and we’re especially excited to have you returning for Fall Break next year!
We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback regarding the starter supplies. Our properties come with a standard starter set of essentials to get guests through the first day or two, but your comments are helpful, and we’ll review how we can make that information clearer and the experience even better.
Thank you again for being such a valued guest — we look forward to welcoming you back for many years to come!
Warm regards,
Benchmark Management

Beautiful home
Beautiful home. The check in process was difficult. The car passes were hard to locate. We never were able to get both cars’ passes. The phone number was not for local help. One shower had very rusted metal & the drain cover came off. No instructions on the bedroom tvs. Could not use all week. The cooktop was very dirty.

Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the home, though we're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced. We do want to clarify that the phone number provided does connect to our local team, though after-hours calls are directed to our answering service between 5 PM and 8:30 AM. We also only received communication regarding the parking pass during your stay — had we known about the other issues, we would have been more than happy to assist right away. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention and will be addressing them with our team to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much-improved stay! Regards, Benchmark Management

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful view and very clean but some other issues. Cookware was in rough shape. The couch is incredibly deep and hard to find comfort unless you are lying down. The main floor doors did not lock but they came out to fix by the second night. The check in process was not very clear. The walk to the beach is significant. Also one part of the beach is off limits unless you are willing to wade through water to get to the beach. Unsure of other amenities as they were not too clear. Overall beautiful place and if these things would have been known it would have been helpful.

Thank you for your review and for noting the beautiful view and cleanliness of the property. We are glad our team was able to promptly address the door lock during your stay, and we appreciate your feedback on the cookware, check-in process, and furniture comfort. We will be reviewing these items to improve the experience for future guests.
We also appreciate your comments about the beach access and amenities as this is helpful for us to clarify better in our listings so expectations are clear ahead of time. We are glad you enjoyed the setting overall and hope to have the chance to welcome you back with an even smoother experience.
