Great location but poor amenities and management
by Cumming GA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
While there are some positives to note about the unit: Location, reasonable prices for late September and a nice layout.
Be prepared for the following:
If you like not having internet, cable and wifi, then this is your place. There is no recourse for the missing internet/cable either. The cable company doesn't work weekends and they could not get to unit until the Monday after we left. So we couldn't work as expected or watch any cable TV for the full week we visited. We were provided access to another Wifi account but the connection was spotty at best.
If you like barely being able to open the patio door, this is your place.
If you enjoy a bedroom fan on high all the time because there is not a cord to adjust the speed, this is your place.
If you like a management company that doesn’t return phone calls with resolutions, this is your place.
If you like what you see in the pictures but when you arrive it is different, this is your place.
If you enjoy bending over to a bathroom sink only two feet off the ground, this is your place.

We had a great time on our trip to Seaside Florida. The Beachside Condo 14 was very clean and charming. The condo had very thing we needed. Plenty of towels and lots of pot and pans.

Excellent!
by ALPINE UT
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We stayed here in July 2023 and had a great experience! Very nice apartment, safe, clean, and convenient -- literally a few steps away from beautiful beach. The only criticism I have is that the sliding glass door in the back really needs to be repaired. Nevertheless, we're definitely interested in a return visit.

Great one bedroom
by Houston TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The processes from Benchmark Mgmt. were excellent. Sufficient emails, clear instructions. The unit was very clean and all systems worked well. Cooking pans for the oven should be better, but we made it work. The sliding glass door does not slide, needs a fix. You are literally steps from the beach so that is very convenient. We would stay here again in a heart beat!

Good location, needs some TLC.
by Sugar Land TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The location is great being directly at the beach. The parking is tight - only one slot per unit - and coming in later at night may be a risky thing if parking is not checked regularly. The site was quiet despite it being full. Unit 14 needs a little TLC (e.g., the sliding door to the patio is almost impossible to open) which I will highlight in a private message to the management company.
Response from Benchmark Management

Beachside Condo is in a great location that places you in close proximity to just about everything! We hope you see you and your family again soon to provide a better beach vacation and exceed your expectations.

Nice for a short trip
by Medina TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall a great place. Two recommendations. 1) Fix the door going to the patio (super hard to open and close) 2) Get pub height table and chairs for the patio. The view would be great!
Response from Benchmark Management
Kellie, thank you for reviewing your stay at Beachside Condo. We appreciate the feedback and would've loved the opportunity to fix the patio door while you were here. Our maintenance team is now aware and will ensure this is no longer a struggle for future guests. Your suggestion to add pub height chairs is a great idea! We are happy to pass this along for further consideration, as we believe this would be a great addition to the home. We hope to see you guys again soon!

Great location on the beach, ground floor
by South Euclid OH
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My husband and I and our 15 month old enjoyed our stay on beautiful 30A. The ground floor was awesome with a small child and we were just steps away from the beach. Bike rentals right across the street, we rode the trial to seaside almost every day to check out different restaurants. The condo was pretty clean—they did a great job with the floors especially (no sand on arrival which was impressive). Furnishings appeared a little dated but functioned well and bed was comfortable. We did notice some mold in shower around the fixtures, as well as some cooking utensils that were a bit dirty (silverware was fine though). Place was a little musty when we arrived but improved a little with air conditioning. Overall we had a good stay and the location/value was perfect for our needs.
Response from Benchmark Management
Sarah,
We are thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the wonderful location and amenities that the Beachside Condos have to offer! It is great to know our cleaning team did a great job prepping the unit for your arrival as well. We will pass along that feedback regarding the dishes, showers, and smell of the unit to ensure these matters get addressed in our upcoming deep clean sessions. We are glad to know that these minor issues did not diminish the quality of your stay! We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to welcome you all again for many more beach vacations with us on 30A.
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management

Great Time Great Stay
by Huntsville AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Wonderful time. The location was great. The apartment was perfect. It had everything we needed. The only thing we wished was the screen door was not working.
The pool was an added touch. Was awesome to come back to from a hot day at the beach.
Will be back again. Thanks Anne

Perfect Location
by Chattanooga TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our stay at Beachside was wonderful. It is a great location for riding bikes to Seaside and around Seagrove. The condo was close enough to the beach we didn't even wear shoes for our walk there. The condo worked well for 2 adults and 2 children but would be tight for 6. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The only issue was the beach in front of the condo was black from some sort of tar like substance. It was clear on either side of the condo so we made due by setting up 40-50 yards down the beach.
Response from Benchmark Management
Alyce,

response. We work hard each and every day to bring ours guests the best vacation experience. We
can’t wait to see you again. The black on the beach is Humate from the old Cypress Trees that were in Seagrove many years ago.

Awesome Family Vacation
by Frisco TX
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
This location allowed our families to be footsteps away from the beach. The condo looks just like the pictures. The wicker chairs are not comfortable when returning from the beach after a long day. Beds were comfortable and so was the pull out couch. If cooking while there, you may want to bring a better frying pan. Overall the condo was able to provide a safe, convenient location with clean lodging.

Beachside #14
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This unit was great with a few minor exceptions...no pot holders in the kitchen had to scramble for towels to pull out of the oven, too many decorative pillows on the bed for such a small bedroom it takes up a lot of floor space when they are off the bed, also too many odd tables in the living room taking up space.
It’s very cute but with being a 1 bedroom with bunks in the hall, you need any additional space for traveling items and toys for the kids.
The bunks in the hall worked perfect and really did love the overall feel and location of this condo. Will return if avaibale.

June 2019 Stay
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We stayed in June. The condo was super clean and felt as if it had been redone recently. the decor was warm and cozy. We actually enjoyed hanging out in the condo! We had a tiny view of the ocean and we could hear it, perfect! We loved the art in the condo too! They must know the artist! Overall we would 100% stay there again and would definitely recommend to others.

My family had an amazing time here!! We didn't want to go home and a few of us were in tears when it was time to go. Our condo was exactly as pictured. Everything we needed and then some. It was newly renovated and conveniently located right by the beach. Just a few short steps and we were soaking up the sun!! This definitely made it easier with children expecailly little ones who still need a nap. The only thing negative was the vacuum didn't work, but we just used thw broom. Would definitely return. We could live here it's truly amazing and beautiful!!!

Beachside Condo 14
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We enjoyed our stay very much. The location is fantastic with quick access to the beach and pool and local dining. The only negative was the beds were not comfortable, unless you love a firm bed. We bought a mattress foam and made due. We also appreciated the pool noodles stored under the bunks. Our smaller kids enjoyed those at the pool during red flag days. The washer and dryer were also very nice (HE detergent only.)

We enjoyed our stay at #14, was very clean condo, no noise as it was after spring break. Very nicely decorated and felt like home. Kitchen was well equipped as well as bathroom towels, etc. Would have preferred to have it facing the gulf but that's a mute point. Thanks
