2022 Cousin vacation
by Smyrna TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Location was great. It’s a 2 minute walk to the beach. The condos have a a pool that is great for evening swimming and grills to cook for the whole family. The condo had a broken sofa couch and a slow flushing toilet. We reported it to the management team and they were quick to respond. They did provided a sample of laundry soap so that was nice. We would consider staying again.

Great location, but unit was, well, meh.
by Hebron KY
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Unit had ants throughout, especially in the kitchen. Living room furniture is outdated, and the recliner is about to fall apart. Master bed mattress is hard as a rock. Other than that, we loved it, and already booked it for next year.

Perfect for families
by Forney TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This place is great. Not too fancy to be overpriced, and perfect for families with children. Spacious and clean, friendly management staff. Could use a fresh coat of paint, but that is easily overlooked. We had a lovely time here.

Lots of light!
by Ellijay GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The thing that attracted me to this unit was the amount of light featured in one of the photos. It did not disappoint. The main living area is flooded with light all day long. This is exactly what I needed.
The furnishings are in good shape and beach appropriate. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything I needed, but the frying pans need to be replaced as they are past their prime.
The master bedroom was roomy and the bed was comfortable.
The huge balcony was great offering views in multiple directions, Every morning I enjoyed coffee overlooking deer lake. The lounge chairs are not the most comfortable ones, some nice padding would help.
The pool area and hot tub were very nice and well maintained and seemed to get very little usage when I was there, often I was the only person out there.
This location has always been a favorite of mine. Easy access to an uncrowded part of the beach and also a good area for long walks.
Parking is confusing. I'm still not sure I figured it out by the end of my week, but at least my car didn't get towed as threatened by numerous signs.
Internet access was faster than expected, often measuring 60 - 80 mps. This was important to me as I did have to work while I was there (all the light in the living area made this less of a chore).
I experienced very little noise from other residents.
Given the prices of other units in the area, I think this one is still a bargain.
Having rented many units over the years, almost all of them through Garrett, Benchmark Management has really stepped up their game. Great communication and when needed professional and personable maintenance was there in less than an hour!

Seagrove Beach perfect vacay
by Owasso OK
★★★★★ 5 of 5
I loved staying here with my family. Perfect Distance to the beach and perfect distance to Alys beach, seaside, and Rosemary if you want to explore.
Bring extra TP as they only provide one for each bathroom during the stay, everything was clean and comfortable. We will book this one again.

If
by Tallahassee FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
If you need to be on or in view of the beach, this is not your place but if you want a nice, clean, quiet place in which everything works perfectly (including WiFi for Zooms) and a HUGE balcony with view of the pool on one side and a lovely lake on the other...this is it. Look forward to renting it again.
Response from Benchmark Management

Beachfront II was a great place for our weekend getaway!
by Marrietta GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This was our first experience with Vrbo, and it was definitely a good one. We enjoyed the comfortable home-like surroundings, and the close proximity to attractions, restaurants, and most importantly, the beach. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Great Beach-Side Condo - Location, Location, Location!
by Birmingham AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This condo is located between Seagrove and The Hub, on a stretch of beach near the lake, which means FEWER PEOPLE!!! Even better, is on the corner of the building and has a huge wrap-around porch that overlooks the lake! It has more than twice the outdoor space of the interior units, which is a very nice plus. The furnishings are tasteful (beachy but not too beachy) and the kitchen has everything you need. Most important, it's a very quick (maybe 3 minute) walk to the beach (no streets to cross), making this a great value for a 2B/2BA condo. The living area is much more spacious than others of comparable price and situation. Definitely a plus. The only criticism is that the WIFI was a bit sketchy. I was trying to work while I was there however, which made glitches more noticeable. Not sure who the provider is b/c Verizon was not the best there either. Normally, I'd be happy to unplug so I don't want to let that color my review. This is a great place for a small family or two couples to relax and enjoy. Oh and the pool is lovely, too. Oh and there's only one sanctioned parking spot, so you might have to park your extra cars down the street, but that wasn't a problem when I was there as the building wasn't at capacity. Overall, this was a great find and I would definitely stay here again!

Brigid,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Benchmark Management. We are
so pleased to hear you enjoyed this great condo. We do sincerely apologize for the
issues you experienced during your stay. Unfortunately, during busier times there is a lot of stress on the
networks. We cannot control the strength of the signal and our choice of internet companies in the area
is limited. We do sincerely apologize, as we would be happy to improve that if we could have. We truly
appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great
beach vacation.
Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Beachfront II 201
★★★★★ 5 of 5
What a lovely condo! Beautifully decorated and spacious! Very clean! It is a corner
Unit and looks out over the lily pads on the lake. There is a swimming pool, but it is
Enclosed so it does not mar your view! Feels like you are the only people there. There was a nice breeze coming across the porch and several lounge chairs as well as a table
Outdoors. Nice touch was leaving extra trash bags & we didn't have to buy. Covered parking was great and neighbors were great. Lots of young families. The only negative was noise (feet tramping from above late at nite). Easy to rent since we made financial arrangements and signed on the computer and there was a keyless entry. Panama City
Airport is very nice and easy to access. Would love to be there today instead of back in N.C. The live beach cam is fun to see on the computer.
