Pleasantly pleased ..

This property is very convenient to the best beach front location along this general area. Not too commercial and not too crowded. We were very pleased. Great to have chairs and umbrellas awaiting our arrival. Had no problem getting two for use. The unit a#503 is "dated", but overall well thought thru for "use" and needs. It would have been very nice to have some coffee filters for first morning use -- Ugh! Could use some games to play/ only had puzzles. We really needed more pillows. Was to sleep -6-, only had 5 pillows. All your rental staff were most helpful and courteous with our booking. THANKS!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: The place was nice. However, as soon as we got there we could smell mildew. Three days in we noticed mold on the walls near the ceiling in living room and bedroom. We did have an issue with the air conditioner and maintenance came up promptly to help us with the air conditioner. I believe one towel and one wash cloth is unacceptable for a 5 day stay. However, we went to the main location of Benchmark and they did give us 3 more wash cloths and 3 towels. much appreciated. I would personally give more towels and wash clothes in units. There were 3 of us staying in the room.

Amazing beachfront view in nicely appointed condo!

Our stay at BeachCrest on 30A was excellent! The complex is well maintained, safe, a short drive from both Seaside and Rosemary Beach, and an easy drive to Destin. We really liked that the beach chairs and umbrella were included in the price of the condo. Very convenient! Our unit was very nice and had most everything we needed, including a fully stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. The only real downside was the conflicting information between Vrbo and the management company. Vrbo's website clearly stated that we could cancel at no charge by a stated date. However, the contract sent by the management company included no such cancellation provision. After I called them, the management company instructed me to wait about signing the contract until after the free cancellation date advertised by Vrbo. Once I signed the contract, the free cancellation was over. Apparently, this is an ongoing conflict that really needs to get fixed.

STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!

Appalling, disgusting. There are a few other words to describe this condo. Full of mold on every wall, ceiling plaster falling off of the ceiling, furniture in bad shape, and unclean. I don’t mind that appliances and furniture have not been updated but they should be clean. This condo should never have been rented. I understand the owner has died not sure who’s in charge other than benchmark management who has been very unresponsive to us refused to call us only texting and only agreed to refund us $47 out of 1000. How in the world is it in the most exclusive area on 30 A that you could get such a bad unit. The air was terrible. They brought us a fan full of Ativan and said we’re sorry we didn’t get a chance to clean the room ahead of you or stay just awful.

Condition of property

Loved the Beachcrest Condo- this unit needs updating . New couch needed as there is no support for the seats. Blinds are missing slat and adjustment cord and chain .No ice maker in refrigerator so constantly having to make ice trays. Toaster looks like it needs to go to the dump- I do t think is can be cleaned. Instructions for the TV and channel guide would have been nice. Will not book this unit again unless updated. Paint is coming of ceiling and walls. There was a bottle cap in the garage disposal which we Removed. This should have been found by cleaning people If they cleaned the sink. Had to call maintenance as bath did not drain due to excessive hair in drain which cleaners should have reported if tub was cleaned thoroughly. Just wish I had brought some lysol with me. Beach Attendee (putting up chairs) did a great job.

DIRTY Worn outLooked like a place a bunch of college frat boys would stay and be fine with it.Property Management were very willing to hear my concerns, several times and however did NOTHING. I was actually trying to switch locations. I have pics to prove if anyone needs them. This place is not worthy of being on 30ADo not stay here. Blinds in the guest room were missing and our two teenager girls could not even change clothes in the room because people walking by could see in. At night they actually had boys waving at them. NOT OKAY, EVER!!!They bought a flag to hang over the windows The carpet was worn and dirty. The rugs were filthy…, The couch was dirty. Oh, the king bed was comfortable.And don’t be fooled by the advertised “coffee bar”….. moving a Keurig to the bar area from the kitchen is not a coffee bar. There were 2 KCups left for us. Chairs were included with stay, I guess that was good.Oh and patio furniture is like plastic. So disappointed. Not what we have ever experienced with Benchmark Management.
