Great for kids
by Cumming GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Being on the ground floor 10 ft from the pool was a game changer. Our 3 little kids love to swim and every time they asked if they could swim we were able to say yes. Didn't have to pack anything up, just go sit on our porch and watch them. Then the beach was just past that so easy to get to both. Unit was nicely updated, although the building was built in the 1970s? so set your expectations accordingly. AC didn't seem to blow much in the master and struggled to get the unit to 70 at night. The other guests were all nice and it was a pretty quiet place. I would stay there again.

Location Gets the Stars
by Broken Arrow OK
★★★☆☆ 3 of 5
The location of this unit is the best part of the stay. While there is a sliver of ocean view, access to it is even better. The pool is right out your door, but not a problem as far as noise. The condo itself is in need of some updates. The beds are not very comfortable and could use upgrades. Cleanliness of the condo is not reflective of the fee you pay. Both shower curtains were mildewed and pink from filth. The main shower had a dirty wash cloth hanging over the shower rod when we checked in. It would be nice to have a few extra towels for use while dirty ones are being washed during the stay. The coffee table was soiled with a sticky substance and the table was not moved to clean the floor. There is a musty smell in the living area which could be the furniture. Toilets are not secure to the floor and move when in use. Benchmark Management is not good with communication other than the emails sent for rental info. No replies to emailed questions or phone calls. Very hard to contact! The Vacazen rental credit is a waste of money. The credit provided with the stay is very limited use unless you want to add hundreds of dollars towards the services the credit will apply. I will not use Benchmark Management in the future and will try one of the many other options in the area.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hello Michael, We sincerely apologize regarding the inconvenience. We have fixed the toilets and have addressed the cleanliness issue with housekeeping. We do have a front desk and if there are any issues regarding cleanliness or amenities we are always here to help. The unit has actually been updated. We also apologize regarding the communication. We hope to have you visit us again.

We will come again for sure
by Ronald Thompson
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Had a great stay at the beach this week. We have a family of 5 ( teenage girls) and it fits us perfectly. The master was super comfortable, and the bunk beds and the queen fit our girls perfectly in the guest bedroom. One of my favorite things was the easy access to the beach being on the first. Being on the first floor was so nice because I had surgery not to long ago and the stairs are hard for me. It made my vacation quite comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked so we could cook meals every night. We didn’t need anything extra it was well stocked with kitchen appliances and cookware. This condo was also in walking distance to many restaurants and super close to the shops at Seaside. We will come again for sure

Great Location and Ground Floor Unit
by Coalmont TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Great location and great ground floor unit. Unit could have been cleaned a little better, but overall not bad. We loved being steps from the pool. The unit needs new toaster and it burns the bottom of the bread....every time. The unit also needs a new stove because it constantly burns even on a low temperature. Overall we liked the unitard the location, but it could use some updates.

My only complaint about this unit was the lack of utensils and cooking equipment in the kitchen. We had to call the office to get a large size frying pan. That was very disappointing. But the office was very prompt and supplied us with two so we were very appreciative of their promptness.

Beautiful beach time
by Alpharetta
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
The condo was ok, very out of date but clean. All the furniture has clearly been worn beyond the ‘shabby chic’ stage and are just shabby. Appliances appeared old and the counter top was only solid surface. The one thing that lead to restless sleep was the banging noise in the middle of the night. There would be 2 huge bangs and then it would stop. It happened intermittently all night long. No idea what it was
Response from Benchmark Management
Julia,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review on your recent stay with us. We have noted your comments about the furniture and appliances and passed those along to the owners in hopes they will discuss making some updates. We aren't sure what noise you're referring to, as we received no reports of that. Should you have any similar issues during a future stay, please reach out so we can attempt to resolve that. We are always here to help! We do hope to see you again for an even better beach vacation.
Sincerely,

Not bad...
by Conyers GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This condo was perfect as it was right in the beach and directly in front of the pool. Pool activity was frequent but not too bad, especially if you are a social person as we are. Condo was clean, however the floors were a bit dirty, if not sandy from the beach (this was also a common complaint about many rentals on the beach). I loved the space for my family of 6. Water gets nice and hot, really important for people like me who just have to have steaming hot showers. Overall, I would rent again and/or recommend to anyone - a nice trip it was!
Response from Benchmark Management

Beachcrest 101

★★★★★ 5 of 5
The location of this condo could not be better. The pool, grill, and beach access being near this condo made our stay more enjoyable. Plus being on the 1st floor unloading and loading were more convenient. The condo itself was somewhat comfortable. The place does need some updating. The bed in the master bedroom was not as comfortable as we would have liked. The bed did not make you want to sleep in but that may have been by design. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will book again.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hi Gregg,
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with master bed, comfort is essential when you are getting that much needed R&R. We are thankful
for the feedback as it helps us improve our properties. We’ve already passed along your comments to the owners and are working diligently to make updates.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation.

Last minute decision- no regrets
by Birmingham AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Very clean ground floor unit with well appointed kitchen. So easy to get in and out. Also great for those concerned about distancing due to Covid because no elevator. Downside was noise from the pool at night (people were swimming past closure until 11). Also be aware you can’t see the ocean from the balcony/patio area. Personal gate from the balcony to the pool/beach was convenient but it got stuck several times. We loved this location. Close to donut hut, perfect pig, cafe 30-A, and easy bike ride to seaside.

Great Rental
by Baton Rouge LA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
In my opinion, this is the best unit in the complex. It is on the first floor by the pool. You can walk right out of the unit and head to the beach, no waiting for the elevator. There is a spot right out front to easily unload your stuff in and out of the unit. Complex is in a great location. Quick bike ride to restaurants and shops. The beach is fantastic. During our stay the complex's beach was less crowded than the other adjacent beaches.

We had a wonderful beach trip. The beach was gorgeous. This was my fourth time to stay at Beachcrest. Favorite place to stay in Seagrove. Looking forward to our next beach trip to Seagrove. 30A beaches are more beautiful than any beach I have ever seen in the Caribbean or the Bahamas. We'll be back!
