Love the house and location
by Mount Olive AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We love the house and location. That is why we've been a repeat renter. However, the kitchen is not well stocked. We cook and the cookware is unusable. All the non-stick cookware is peeling and gets in your food. There was not a large enough skillet to cook scrambled eggs for a family of 4. There was one nice stainless skillet, but it had a stain or something on it that I could not scrub off so I refused to use it. The utensils were terrible and would bend. I purchased a spatula to leave. There is no sheet pan or 9x13 pan. There are no paring knives. The knives they do have are very dull. I had a difficult time cutting an apple. I had to cook biscuits on a sheet of aluminum foil. I also purchased some take-a-long containers to leave as well for people to store food in. Very disappointing. It is time to restock the kitchen. I do not mind the mis-matched plates and bowls. If you want to use plastic cups or kid-friendly cups, you will need to bring your own. The only drinking cups were glasses.

Nice but could use a little more
by Germantown TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
It’s a nice house in a great location. All in all nice. But corners were cut that made it less comfortable. A cheap, uncomfortable mattress and pillows. Very few towels. No pizza cutter or things to clean the counter with etc. Spend a little money and make it a place I’d want to stay in next time.

Stay along 30A
by Slaughter LA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall it was a good stay with just a few short comings. The internet was spotty and I had incorrect information to log in initially. Also many everyday needs are in short supply. Toilet paper, towels, washing soap etc. Certainly any large group would first have to go grocery shopping due to such short supply. Otherwise the cabin is nice and location is nice and parking is very good. Cleanliness also was very good. For the price it is a good deal in that area. Management was very good.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hi Robert! Thank you for amazing review! We had a wonderful time hosting and we are happy you find everything up to your standard. We do provide a starter kit of Amenities for your first day only that way you do not have to go Grocery Shopping on your first day. We can't wait to welcome you back to another Beach Vacation with us.

Perfect for families
by BWebb
★★★★★ 5 of 5
we stayed here on a family vacation and had plenty of space to not be underfoot. All week we kept saying that we couldn’t believe how little we paid to stay in such a nice area. The beach was across the street and it wasn’t too crowded and Rosemary and Alys were a couple mile walk if you wanted to enjoy an early morning stroll. The house had plenty of space, my only suggestion would be to make sure you bring extra towels for the shower and be prepared for the Wi-Fi to be hit or miss. But we were able to hotspot and troubleshoot without too much trouble.

Beach Daze
by Reedsville PA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
This home is good for a weekly rental, but NOT for a monthly rental. (our visit was for two months) Outside of house needs some TLC, inside of the house was very clean except for the stained carpet in the bedrooms which needs replaced! Appliances worked as they should and were very clean, kitchen pots and pans are old and need replaced, should have more kitchen utensils, bake ware and microwavable dishes for long term renters. There is a Roku TV in the living room, but no instruction on how to use it or the remotes. We are not acquainted with the “cut the cord options”. Lost internet connection on a daily basis. Benchmark and the cable company tried to resolve the problem. Great location, Seacrest beach just steps away! 30A is a beautiful area.
Response from Benchmark Management
Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your two-month stay at our property. We appreciate your valuable input, and we take your comments seriously. We're pleased to hear that you found the house clean upon your arrival, and we apologize for the stained carpet in the bedrooms. We understand the importance of maintaining a comfortable living environment for our guests, and we will address this issue immediately. Your concerns regarding the exterior of the house have also been noted, and we will work to improve the TLC for the outside. Your suggestions about the kitchen utensils, cookware, and microwavable dishes are invaluable to us, and we'll be looking into adding more options for our long-term renters to ensure a more comfortable stay. We're sorry to hear about the issues with the internet connection. We understand how important a stable connection is, and we've worked with the internet service provider to resolve this problem. We hope that this issue did not significantly impact your overall experience. We're thrilled to know that you appreciated the great location, with Seacrest Beach just steps away. The 30A area is indeed beautiful, and we're glad you had the opportunity to experience it. Your feedback is crucial in helping us make improvements, and we hope that you will consider returning to our property in the future. If you decide to visit again, please reach out directly, and we will do our best to ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management

Great place
by Batesville AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was clean and nicely laid out for our family. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and appreciated the Roku televisions to watch March Madness and the items provided in the kitchen.
Everything (refrigerator/ice maker, washer/dryer, oven/microwave) worked like a charm. We appreciated that there was plenty of space to park and the outdoor shower/rinse was helpful to have after a trip to the beach.
We used our credit from the rental company partner Vacayzen for some beach chairs and an umbrella and that was a good experience too.
Response from Benchmark Management

Great week in a great location. The house is as presented. Nice and clean. Would have liked the kitchen to be a little better equipped, but that's a small thing.

Wonderful Location!
by Scottsboro AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This property was wonderful for our family vacation. We loved the location. Easy access to the beach (across the road and a few steps down the sidewalk is the beach access). We also were very happy with the layout of the house. The only negative thing I have to say about the property is the queen bed that we slept on was terrible. The slats that held the mattress up kept falling. My one and only recommendation would be a new mattress and supports for the bedroom next to the twin bedroom. Overall we highly recommend this property based on location, cleanliness, and wonderful rental staff!

A Week at Beach Daze
by N/A CO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our 5 person family had a great stay at Beach Daze! The house is laid out well and was just enough space for us. The kitchen had all of the pots, pans, dishes, etc that we needed to cook for the week. No issues with any systems (HVAC, plumbing, etc). No issues with enough hot water. The code lock to check in and out made it very simple and worked without fail. The location was VERY convenient to the public beach access - just 50' away from the house. The possible only downside is the traffic noise - not horrible - but ever-present as it's right on 30A. Considering we had an 80 year old parent with us, the beach convenience outweighed the traffic noise. Also love that it's right on the bike path.

Thank you for your kindhearted words and all five rating for Beach Daze. We're so glad that it provided for your needs. We hope that you will return!

Thanksgiving Holiday
by Woodstock FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Good four days at Beach Daze over the Thanksgiving holidays. Location is a plus as sits right off on 30A with easy access to major highways - stores etc. Beach access was a short walk to the west and found these beaches a pleasant relief to the overcrowded and controlled beach environment to the East at Rosemary Beach - Seacrest etc. (Approx 1 mile) House itself was not modern but comfortable , very clean but lacking in basics amenities . Example No extra garbage can liners - one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom - only four sets of towels for a three bedroom house. Besides that everything worked , beds were comfortable , a lot of parking , and best of all beach was across the street. I would rent again .
Response from Benchmark Management
Hey Russell,
Thank you so much for your review! The location is definitely convenient for when you do need to drive, and the beaches are gorgeous. We apologize if our communication was not clear in the welcome packet, as we do only provide a starter supply of those basics. It is each guest's responsibility to provide these items for the duration of their stay. We are happy to hear that the beds were comfortable, parking was convenient, and that the beach access was just a trot away! We would love to accommodate you again.
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management
