Spectacular View - Clean and Comfortable
by Prospect KY
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Working with Benchmark Management was a good experience. Communication via email and text was encouraged with timely response. The unit was clean and available prior to the promised time. Recently updated, comfortable furniture and all necessary accessories for the kitchen were available. The electric Weber Grill worked better than expected! No issues with A/C, Plumbing, or other mechanical items. We loved the ease of access to the Beach (no gates, no codes, no obstructed views)! All common areas were well maintained. Only areas of concern: 2 of the deck chairs were unusable; sliding glass doors were difficult to operate (an $8 can of WD40 made a HUGE difference). We would certainly stay at this location again.

Perfect location

You are booking for location. The private beach seals the deal. As far as the unit, it’s dingy, the mattress are uncomfortably, the bedding is awful, the couches are disgusting, there’s no rugs so sand tracks in everywhere, the kitchen utensils are crammed into drawers with our rhyme or reason and the dryer barely has heat. There’s a much cleaner nicer unit in the complex (#9) I’ll book that one next time.

The location was absolutely perfect

If you like to cook, be prepared to bring your own pots, pans, knives, etc...this unit is not very well equipped. For the price unit should be in better condition, deferred maintenance. But the space and the location and view is spectacular.
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you for your feedback, Iliana. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the kitchen supplies. Our team routinely checks and replenishes kitchen items, but unfortunately, they sometimes disappear or are damaged by renters. We are continuously working to ensure the kitchen is well-equipped and have already scheduled new supplies to be brought in. We are glad you enjoyed the space, location, and view, and we hope to host you again soon.
Kind regards,
Benchmark Management

Great location, best views!
by EDMOND OK

Our family loved this location! Clean property with all furnishings we needed - except patio chairs and towels. Two of the 4 chairs were rusted & broken. We notified management but as with calls to request enough towels for each guest, we had to leave a message that wasn’t timely returned. Wish the office had been fully staffed. Beach was beautiful, though, property was quiet, and we look forward to our next trip!

Spring Break
by Fishers IN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We loved our convenient location to the beach and the beautiful view. The deck and upstairs patio were well kept and nice to sit on and enjoy the ocean view. The property was just as described. The kitchen had a lot of utensils/cooking tools/bar tools. Some storage containers would have been helpful. The bathrooms could use an upgrade but overall the living area and 3 bedrooms were very nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable. The property was clean. Good communication from the management company. Thanks for a fun week away.

Best Location

We have stayed at Blue Nine for what is probably decades by now. The beach is private and you can always find a large spot on the water. We bring all our food so we don't eat out. The steps down to the water will need a total overhaul soon, but other than that everything is great. These units are not new, but they are well kept. There was no plastic drinkware in this unit (other than 2 sippy cups) - but lots of fancy drink glasses.
Response from Benchmark Management
JoAnn,
Thank you for staying with us at Blue Nine for another great beachside stay! We're glad you agree that these units are well kept, as they are some of our favorite here on 30A with the grand community deck, with private sheltered areas of patio behind every unit. We will share your concerns about the boardwalk as well with the proper teams to get that looked at! Guest safety is a top priority and we certainly want to be sure everything is as safe and welcoming as can be for you. We look forward to seeing you again!
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management
