Private place with a million dollar view!
by Americus GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a group of 17 ladies and really enjoyed the trip and accommodations. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The pool is great. There is a lot of privacy due to trees and growth around pool. (Much more that this picture portrays.) The hot tub is not a hot tub in the summer, evidently.
The only complaint we had about the place is the outdoor seating on the main level. There are only two chairs and two picnic tables. We would have preferred more chairs, bc the picnic tables are uncomfortable after a while. The outdoor shower is not in working order, but there are two other wash-off areas. There are ample beach toys, buckets, pool noodles, a big toy bin. We will likely stay here again.
We say no signs of pests like one of the reviews before us mentioned. We were concerned about that, but were happy to see that that issue has been taken care of.

Old(er) Home in Great Setting
by Asheville NC
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property as it provided us unlimited beach access as it is oceanfront and was close to the best of everything the Seaside/Seagrove area has to offer.
You have to know going in that this is an older home with some age showing, but it still has a fun vibe that families and adults will enjoy. It's a throwback to the original Seagrove Beach and raking in the oceanfront view each day will not disappoint.

We absolutely had a blast at this big and beautiful and well-kept home directly on the beach. The pool and hot tub was lovely, the views were spectacular, you have direct access to the beach and even a covered pavilion.

Best Location on the Beach

Private walk to the beach. Pool when you are tired of the sand. Can't think of anything that would improve the set-up

THE GREATEST PORCH, OLD SCHOOL STYLE
by Little Rock AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The beach is So So close , the morning , day, and evening views from THE PORCH are why you go , the added benefit of a private pool tucked to the side with plenty of greenery privacy , a private quirky graveled entrance road, a 30 to 40 yr old aging beach home at one time first class but now showing signs of needed upgrades and general maintenance , a maintenance company that is top drawer and very prompt to all requests... overall an Excellent experience and would stay again .

Seagrove Vacation
by Tulsa OK
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
While our overall stay at Paradise Too was good since our entire family was together, I have to say we are saddened at how the house has been allowed to become weathered, especially the exterior. We stayed at this property a few years ago before it was sold to the current owner who has painted the interior but done nothing to alleviate the rust and peeling paint. The property is in an excellent location and is as close to the beach as a home can be. The kids loved the outdoor shower and we enjoyed the deck, especially. We just think a property like this merits some better tender loving care.

Hi Bill! Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Paradise Cottage Too is a beautiful home with incredible views. Having your own private pool is a plus too! The ocean is right outside your door and Seaside is just a short bike ride away. We hope you will stay here again with us soon!

We had an amazing vacation in the Paradise Cottage Too! Benchmark Management is a huge reason why our week was so great. We were scheduled to arrive the day Hurricane Michael hit. We delayed our trip by a day and Kristina and team made sure we got in the house and setup all while dealing with the hurricane aftermath. They worked with all the families coming in during a very tough week for them personally and were still very attentive and professional.
The house itself was perfect for our group of 19. We had plenty of room inside and having meals on the back porch while enjoying the ocean views was nothing short of perfect! The private beach walkway and gazebo was great for getting the kids and beach toys back and forth. The pool was great for the evenings too.
This is our favorite spot along 30A making it easy to visit the surrounding restaurants and shops. We are already looking forward to staying here when we come back and we will definitely use Benchmark again!

Thank you for submitting your review - we can't tell you how much we appreciate your kind words! It was a very trying time indeed and we thank you for being so patient! We also couldn't agree more - this property has the most amazing views! You can enjoy all of your family meals out on the balcony if desired! There are also a few lounging chairs and a couple of rocking chairs to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the dolphins play nearby! Lots of space in this one so bring all the kids! Great place to share with those long time family friends or bring your family and have a 30A family reunion! Call Benchmark today and let us know how we can help arrange the perfect beach getaway for you!

Excellent!!!
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a great time at Paradise Cottage Too. Understand it is the first summer it is being rented and we were very pleased with our stay. The house itself is older but it has been updated, so we found it was very practical and had most everything we needed. The location is awesome and being able to walk out the back door onto the beach was incredible! The views from the deck are spectacular and there was always a nice breeze blowing off the water. Also, the covered sitting area between the house and beach was one of our favorite spots at sunset where the views were incredible!! Also, the house is a 1 mile walk into Seaside if the desire hits and about a 5 minute car ride to Publix. Last, working with Benchmark Management - they were excellent!! From the first call to find out information about the house through our entire stay they are very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, etc. One of the best management companies we have worked with over the past 20 years of vacationing in this area! Thank you to the entire BM Management team!

There really isn't any more to say than what our guest has said - location, location, location - that is what makes Paradise Cottage Too so awesome! It is close to so many of the area's favorite restaurants but most importantly - just walk out the back door - the view is totally breathtaking! You may never want to leave - and that works too. Just a few minutes away you can have fresh seafood to throw on the grill and enjoy by your own private pool! It's all here so make your reservation today - this one will fill us fast so don't miss out!
