The house was in a perfect location, just steps from beach. I had no problem entertaining my teenagers because there was plenty to do. The bunk beds were perfect for them to be out of the way. The kitchen was a tad smaller than I’m used to, but it had plenty of what I needed to cook everyday. I loved the tankless hot water heater. I was confused when the hot tub didn’t work and the property owner told me that it was not heated, but the kids enjoyed the pool anyways. Thanks for hosting us.

Beautiful Place
My group of 17 ladies loved this place. The beach view is spectacular. Even though the neighbors are very close, its very private. The palm trees and landscaping around the pool keep you from seeing any neighbors. The back porch is big and nice.
We plan to rent again.
The outdoor private shower is not useable, but the other rinse off stations are. The pool is very nice.
We had no issues with pests as was mentioned in earlier reviews.

Rat Infested Cottage Too
Lines of communication were horrific. Benchmark was going to send an inspector first thing Monday morning. After waiting 2+ hours with no inspector, we found another place to rent and told Tiffany that we were vacating this property for health hazards and filthiness, and that we were going to dispute all charges.
We got a text message from Benchmark on Monday afternoon that they were going to send Florida Pest control over and Benchmark would come over after the house was treated by pest control....and they would change the sheets for us. We got another text message that Florida Pest control came over to the cottage THURSDAY and set some traps, and if any of the traps went off, FL Pest would come and remove them....3 days after we vacated the cottage. Thursday afternoon, Benchmark texted us and said finding alternate accomodations was a reasonable decision.
Until major upgrades and rat problems are addressed, this rental should be shut down. Location was terrific, but the house is in extreme disrepair. Also, this house was definitely not cleaned before we arrived. I only got text messages from Benchmark, no verbal communication at all. If I had been in there position, I would've shown my face and apologized for the extreme trauma caused to my family. If I could give Benchmark a rating of negative stars, they deserve it.

Amazing location! Right on the water!
Our family had a blast at this place. It’s our third trip down to the general area and this house was by far the best! The kids ran down to play on the beach while I drank coffee on the porch and watched them. Crab hunting, lunch, mid-afternoon nap, everything was easy because of the location of this house-plus it had everything we needed and wasn’t so fancy I was afraid our kids would break something before we could leave. It checked all our boxes. Thanks!

not as advertised, would never stay here again
the other reviews list this property as mildewed. we were assured that it got a deep clean about a month before we stayed there. however, the truth is this property is MUSTY. there’s nothing cleaning will do, it’s embedded in it. the house has a lot of beds but the actual living space is really small. the rug in the living room still had what seemed to be white cat hairs on it. it was definitely not well cleaned. upon arrival we were told the pool heater was broken and no one would be out to fix it for minimum 7-10 days and they refused to use another pool company. that was a major issue given the spotty march weather and all the wind that had red surf warnings almost every day.
the view was great. but this house was way overpriced for what it was. the must had one member of my family up coughing each night for 2 hours.
we have been renting here for a decade and have never had such poor management. would never rent from benchmark again. for this money, you can get MUCH nicer accommodations.
we still had fun because the beach is gorgeous….

Mold & Mildew Bomb
It takes a lot for me to give one star. I would give zero if possible.
The location on the beach and deck are great. After that, everything went downhill.
Annoying, but still 5 stars:
I've never stayed at a rental, let alone at this price point, that did not include basics like salt & pepper, wine opener, and other 101 things that are typically included as part of the rental. All of the showers (excluding basement which has tons of cracked tiles) are plastic shower enclosures with tension curtain rods. Red Roof Inn has nicer showers. We were afraid to walk in bare feet due to rotten wood - outdoor shower almost not usable due to the amount of wood rot.
The cleaning crew does a fine job of cleaning hard surfaces, after that, the house has not been "properly" cleaned in years. The ceiling fans were so dusty we were afraid to turn them on & the dishes were dirty and the cooking sheets had large chunks of food stuck on them. Maybe not a huge issue normally, but during COVID, we cooked at the place a good bit.
Enough to knock this down to 3 stars:
The pool was disgusting with algae growing on the walls and pounds of debris in the pool. The only reason we rented the place was for the beach and pool. The rental company quickly responded to the pool issue on Sunday. Pool company got there late Monday and said we couldn't use it until the next day due to the amount of chemicals they had to put in it to get it clean.
Deal breaker:
This house is a mold & mildew bomb - it is so bad that I question the safety of staying there. You can smell the mildew OUTSIDE from ~15-20 feet away. The house was built in the '70s and has not been maintained. Literally every single room has water damage in the ceiling and rotting wood. All of the vents have mold and mildew dripping from them. It looks like the owner/management tried covering up the mold with a Kilz like product, but the mold still bleed through. The mold was so bad that when we got home, we had to throw away anything that was not washable - cereal boxes, reusable grocery bags, etc. We had some clothes that we never took out of the suitcases - we've washed them 3 times and the odor is ALMOST gone.
I wish you could post pics as part of a review or have people contact you. I hope no one ever stays here for free, let alone pays for it. .

OLD MOLD on Great Beach...
Inside stinks of mold. Rusting nails and rotten boards on the walk ways and deck. Kitchen pots and pans all need to be replaced. The location is awesome and that is why it rents. The windows on the back all need to be replaced so you can see thru them. We tried cleaning them, but the filth is between the panes. The property is worth more that the house. The tv’s are smaller than your computer screens in bed rooms.
Positives... layout is great. Location is great. Managment company was great.
Had to buy fans. Febreese and plug ins to try and mask the moldy smell. Even with this, we were glad we packed a nebulizer.
If anyone has asthma or allergies this will bring out the worst.
21 is a stretch on how many it sleeps... no place that 14 people could eat. Table seats 8....
I was in a bind and had to rent... I would love to buy the place, but would never rent it, nor recommend renting it to another...

Nice location old house
Great location but the property was old and it showed. It appears that the owner is just getting the rental income and not updating or maintaining the property.

Don’t compromise with this location. It’s a frat house like conditions and not a family safe house
My family and I waited three years to save money to go to a beautiful location on 30A that appeared to be great online. We were super excited about being in a beachfront house on 30A The location of this place is fantastic don’t get me wrong that is the only good thing about this house. The property is very old & rundown. It needs a ton of work and is not worth the amount that they are charging for beachfront dump. I would highly suggest or urge anyone to stay at another location due to the uncleanliness, poor conditions and inadequacy of the bedding which are very uncomfortable. The furniture is old and falling apart. The day of checkin our washer did not work.. we called property management and they sent a technician. When a repair technician came to fix the washer. He told us that he has been to this location many times. He stated The owners apparently won’t replace anything and let the poor conditions to continue. We asked the management company to see if they could get us a washing machine in a few days. They said they will need a week or two to get a new washer. This was the first day. So we had to drive 40 minutes to do laundry two times over 7 days. Otherwise we would have had towels and bedding for 7 days for 16 people. With young children it was super bad. I would not recommend this property to anyone. I did call vrbo and they need to do something about the poor conditions and lack of Help by the owners of this property. Don’t do it

Location was perfect
The house was very nice and clean. We were expecting a hot tub because that was in the pictures only to discover they keep the heater locked so you couldn’t heat the hot tub. The pool had some issues while we were there and as a result was cloudy and dirty. The pump was not working correctly. The washing machine quit working while we were there. I was also expecting to be able to see the beach from the pool but the brush was so ever grown you could not. I would recommend cutting back the brush on the back side of the pool to allow for a view of the beach/ocean and more of a breeze. Overall this was a great property and I would recommend it. We would rent it again. The management company was very responsive anytime we had any issues. You can walk to Seaside from the house.
