This is our 2nd time staying in 902 and it is a great condo, we have enjoyed it both times that we have stayed. The unfortunate part is that staying in this area is more than double what it was just 3 or 4 years ago, so we will likely have to start looking for another location in the coming years.

We have stayed at Beachcrest for the last 30 years. The view is spectacular, the staff is friendly, love that it’s not as crowded as Destin or PCB. The unit was nice. The king bed was awesome.

The Perfect Birthday Vacation
by Benbrook TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
recently had an amazing stay at Beachcrest Condo 902. The location was perfect and the condo itself was beautiful. The view of the ocean from the balcony in both the living room and master bedroom was breathtaking. The condo was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. One reason that I have chosen to stay TWICE at Beachcrest 902 is the decor. The living room is decorated in cool blue and cream tones which blends seamlessly with the Gulf view and beach vibe. Also, this condo offers higher quality patio furniture than others in the complex. We love ordering a fresh steamed seafood meal from the local seafood market and eating on the balcony admiring the view at sunset. The rooms are decorated beautifully and not overcrowded with beach kitsh. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. One thing that was new with this trip was the hotel-style amenities provided in both of the bathrooms. My daughter raved about getting her own cute Birchbox-style set of toileteries. It's the little things like this that keeping me reserving with Benchmark and Beachcrest. The staff at Beachcrest in the summer of 2023 was the friendliest and most helpful in all my travels. Someone was always available to answer a question or offer a suggestion. One thing I would suggest is that a new coffee pot be purchased. I'm sure things wear out quickly in rentals and the coffee pot has seen better days. Also, I would like the water heater to be adjusted so the master bathroom offers a nice, hot shower. We enjoyed spending our days lounging on the beach and watching the sunset from the balcony. The beach chairs and umbrella are provided through the month of October, I believe. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this Gulf Coast beach condo to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Beautiful Beach!
by Geismar, LA LA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We stayed for a week during July 4th holiday. The beach, weather and water were all perfect! The beach in front of Beach Crest condos was not overly crowded, even with it being a holiday week during peak summertime. We were able to be waterfront everyday. The condo also came with a beach setup (umbrella and 2 chairs), which was a very pleasant surprise! The condo is older, nothing fancy, but it was great for our family. The kitchen appliances are updated. They had everything we needed in the kitchen. Our only complaint is that the sliding shower door in the master bathroom is missing one of the doors. That missing door was replaced with a clear shower curtain, which made showering somewhat of a little mess each time because water would get on the floor. The rental company was great in checking in with us to see if there was anything we needed while we were there. We would definitely rent this property again.

Beach Crest 902
by Yukon OK
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This was our first time to stay at Beach Crest and we loved it. We loved how quiet the property was. The private beach was super nice. Our condo came with a beach setup but be forewarned, even the the signs/rules tell you not to claim your setup prior to 9am, the moment the chairs are set out, people claim them. This means getting out by 7am to get a front row setup. 902 was nice but the washing machine is extremely loud. The beds were super comfortable and overall we had no major issues with the condo.

30A trip
by Stockbridge GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The property was very nice and the view was fantastic. The condo did have a little bit of a smell maybe from something that was used to clean with?
We did have an issue with a cleaning fee not being charged initially when I made the reservation and we were not told until right before the trip that a computer error was made, so we had to pay more money.
Response from Benchmark Management

Unit 902
by Birmingham AL
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We did enjoy our week except for the Red Tide experience. That was the worst I had ever seen in forty years! Being on the beach was impossible for at least two days of our stay. Our unit was nice,but not clean when we arrived. The microwave was dirty and stovetop not clean. The balcony was very slippery and we had to be careful not to fall! We did have someone from management come look and they blew off the deck. Also, inside the microwave Rob or Rod had put a posted note from Benchmark,so it had been inspected. Sally Penfield
Response from Benchmark Management

We had a perfect time in 902. Garrett Realty was excellent to do business with from making reservations till checkout. We loved the view and property. Beach chair and umbrella was an added bonus and Wi-Fi was great feature. Hope to return and would definitely use Garrett Realty next time.

My family and I try to make it to FL at least once a year but this time it had been awhile since we had been and this time we were also celebrating my mom's 60th birthday. We had the best time and the weather was wonderful besides all of the Jelly Fish on the beach. The room was great for a family of 4 and 1 additional guest. The room had everything that we needed except that really could have used more garbage bags and a broom in the room to clean up all the sand that we dragged back to the room. Other wise it was perfect!!!
