Superb View
by Auburn AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Beachside Villas 621 is an absolute beautiful location; possibly, the best condo in the complex considering the view! The condo is in need of a few updates, and if updates are made ...... I would highly recommend! Also, I would like for all future vacationers to be aware of the "private owner's" 'rights' to the beach - it seems that all Beachside Villas' tenants have zero rights for the beach directly in front of the boardwalk. Take note of the maps viewing the beach access and the beach area leased by Beachside Villas; this was is a very disappointing fact to those that are use to staying here for years. Beachside Villas is an amazing complex and the management has never disappointed! Overall, we had the most wonderful time and unit 621 will always be special to our family!

Hi James,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on Beachside Villas. Very good information for all, we appreciate your honesty and your loyalty to the area.
We are always happy to have you and your family. This is a great location, love that the beach is a straight walk out even if it has relocated to another spot.
Lucky still just minutes away from the condo. We do work hard to bring ours guests the best vacation experience possible.
We can’t wait to see you again for another beach getaway.
Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Amazing View!
by Franklin TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The view of this condo can't be beat! Beautiful. And we love Beachside Villas! Steps to the beach, with tennis courts and two pools. This condo wasn't as upgraded as some of the other Beachside Villas condos (although kitchen was upgraded), but that shouldn't make you hesitate to rent. It was clean and furniture was nice and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, unit needs maintenance
by N/A CO
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Easy, early check-in. Good location, plenty of parking. The unit is not nice. The floors are in dire need of refinishing/replacement. Absolutely awful mildew smell... we all had headaches. Called about smell, and maintenance came; employee was professional, but smell lingered. Three out of four ceiling fans were inoperable. The fourth (in MBR) could only be used on high.

Beachside Villa 621
by Dover OH
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was beautiful and the view was amazing. If I’m being completely honest we have stayed at beachside villas for 4 years now and I lived the convenience of just walking onto the beach with our kids because as everyone knows when you have kids it’s a lot of work to get to the beach. With the availability and convenience of that being taken away, at no fault of the condo owner, it made this stay a little less pleasant. The owners did provide transportation to the beach that is leased to them, but then you have a trek downhill with all you beach junk to find your beach service. Then on the way back you get to trek uphill with all of it at the end of the day. Again the condo and the services provided to offset these unfortunate set of events were superb, but we will probably not stay again until our kids are older because it makes it quite difficult. I do want to reiterate that the condo owners are doing the best they can and they do have their beautiful pool available, it’s just our preference to go to the beach all day.

Jennifer,

We work hard each and every day to bring our guests the best vacation experience. We hope to continue welcoming your family to the area in the future!

★★★★★ 5 of 5
The location of the condo was great, as well as the views of the beach. Having the boardwalk access was tremulously helpful when carrying all the beach necessities.
The king bed in the master bedroom is extra firm. If you aren't used to a firm mattress, this will cause a very sore lower back. There were a few outlets that were loose causing a sparking sound when plugging in something. These were located in the master bedroom and one in the living room. I'm not positive if there are other outlets in this condition as I was afraid of testing any other outlets.
Response from Benchmark Management
Amber,
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your summer vacation with us. We have passed along your comments to maintenance so we can check these outlets quickly to prevent harm to anyone or the property. Your safety and comfort is a priority for us; in the future, please contact us while you are here so we can promptly address these issues! We hope to welcome you all back to offer a 5-star beach vacation for your family.
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management

Not Likely To Return
by Germantown TN
★★★☆☆ 3 of 5
We stayed at BSV 4 yrs ago and we came back because the location is perfect and the beaches are lovely. This unit has been neglected and is need of some TLC. I have several pictures of caked on dust, cracked light fixtures and poorly patched walls. Also, we had to walk 400 yards down the beach to find our chair rentals. Why is Walton County forcing home owners to privatize their beaches? There is plenty of open spaces but the public beaches are crowded. I know this is not the fault of the mgmt co or the condo owner but you need to let the county know it will effect your income. It is unlikely we will return or recommend to friends.
Response from Benchmark Management
Holly,
Thank you so much for sending in a review. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the area and beaches! We are sorry to hear that there were issues within the unit that you found unsatisfactory. If upon arrival that are issues within your unit that you are unhappy with, we always encourage our guests to call our office so that we can quickly rectify any issues. We hope you get us another chance to show you a more accurate representation of Benchmark Management’s care.

we always stay at Beach Villas
by Clyde NC
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
I like the location, the condo, family oriented, and clean. however, we always liked the beach access and now with the private beach from the neighbors made it was less appealing than previously having the whole beach. this year only had to stay between the signs unless you went down the beach to a section they contracted out for beach villas.

Spring Break 2021
by Fishers IN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Pros:
Great location and ocean views
Very easy walk to the beach with minimal stairs
Large complex with nice amenities
The management company was very responsive and helpful
Cons:
Could have been a little cleaner upon arrival
The unit looks a little beat up- needs some paint and other small repairs. There were a lot of stains on the couch and pillows.
It was hard finding a spot on the beach due to the properties on either side not allowing people to use their area. It was not enjoyable watching the security guards hassle families for even walking by. Having this issue disclosed prior to booking would have been preferable.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hi Amy,

We hope to have you again for a more accurate
representation of Benchmark Management’s care and customer service.

We had a great time in Florida this year. We walked a LOT and generally did fun things around the area. Even though there is a pandemic going on the dining was excellent. There are so many good places to eat food.

Third Time
by Greenwood IN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This is our third time staying in Beachside Villa's they are a decent price and within walking distance of the beach. We did however ask before hand if the bedrooms have TV's and were told yes, but in fact they don't. Not a huge deal just makes life with little one's a little easier. Other than that it was great.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We were honored to have you and are so humbled by your
response. Our apologies that we let you down in the TV's in the bedrooms. We work hard each and
every day to bring ours guests the best vacation experience. We can’t wait to see you again and make it
a complete 5-star experience for you.

Excellent snowbird experience February 2020.
This is our 4th stay with Garrett. We totally enjoyed it. The unit was as described by Garrett website.
Check in/check out was seamless. Met all of our expectations. I hope the good experience with Garrett does not chance with Benchmark taking over.

Our kids plus their littles enjoyed a wonderful time at our favorite beach. The accommodations served all of our needs and were family friendly. This condo is so close to a wonderful "easy" beach access area that is almost right outside our door. Beachside Villas is located in a more private area of Seagrove where you can truly relax and just enjoy being with family and we plan to make it an annual retreat. The only request we have is please buy a new SOFA and provide more seating in the living room area!
