Family Vacation at The Mirage July-August 2023
The second floor bunk beds were perfect for the rest of the kids. Main kitchen and dining/living area nice with a beautiful ocean view. 3rd floor had great large bathroom and beautiful balcony view.
The location was perfect, chairs and umbrellas were complimentary and set up each day on the beach front. I never used the backpack chairs I rented. The stairs to the beach could use some repairs. The beach area was beautiful, not packed.
We rented 2- 6 seater golf carts, perfect for close restaurants and site-seeing.
I would recommend this place, lovely location and access to the beach. It was very clean and the rental personnel very attentive and friendly.

Beautiful views
Easy access to house. Upon entering and going upstairs it is beautifully redone. All windows looking at ocean. Furniture is very nice and comfortable. Bathrooms a plenty. Refrigerator water ice not working outside pool is very nice and it was heated for us for a small fee. Walk down to beautiful beach from stairs.

May Family Vacay
Having the private pool was a huge plus with waterfall sounds that are soothing poolside. There is a beach access right beside this unit, but the beach setup people made sure our 4 umbrellas and 8 chairs were front and center. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Rental
pool was nice to use in the evenings . The house had been updated & was
beautiful, having the extra kitchen was a plus like having a separate apt. Plenty of room for 14 & never felt cramped . . Benchmark was very helpful with a couple of small issues we had .

Vacation Perfection
The pots and pans in the kitchen were better than what we have experienced from other rentals. I always bring a few of my own anyway. Well stocked kitchen. Benchmark was excellent. They are a top quality company.

Lovely Updated Beachfront rental
Mirage's location (easily bike to Alys / Rosemary and 10 minute car ride to Seaside) is ideal. Only a few private homes surround this rental, so the beach is not crowded and only 20 stairs away. The pool area was great for entertaining.
We rented Bikes using our credit from Benchmark and we rented backpack beach chairs from The Rental Shop 30A - great experiences with both companies. The bedroom set up is nice for 4 couples or 2-3 families. The door in between the 2nd floor master and bunk room is very thin.
Benchmark does a fantastic job responding to calls and email and any issue that arose were quickly handled. I appreciate that they do a walk through prior to your arrival which ensure everything is in place. I will rent from Benchmark again for our next trip to 30 A.

Wonderful Week on the Beach
Our whole family was able to stay very comfortably in the house. Four separate couples and four young children-plenty of room for entertainment.
The weather was great most of the week and the beach was pristine. Loved our t beach vacation and will return.

Great Vacation Rental, Some Maintenance Needed
Location is fantastic, plus the sunset views from the 3rd floor. It was well-equipped.
Main problem encountered was the Internet going out while we were there, which necessitated some hours of work on my part, plus having Mediacom come in and fix it. During my work on the Internet, I found that a couple of the TVs in the house weren't even hooked up, which I took care of. The management company was pretty responsive, and they agreed to heat the pool for free (although I don't recall that we were supposed to pay for that - the ad said heated pool), in compensation for the problems with the Internet.
Overall, we had a great week there.
