Great location, nicely updated rental. Private deck off master bedroom, great for morning coffee. View of ocean from living area. Benchmark quickly responds to any issue (which are few if any). Going back again!

Beautiful Views
by Rockwall TX
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
This was our first Florida vacation, and we wanted to stay on the beach. We loved that we had our own private beach, so finding a spot every day was not a problem. So we were extremely happy with the location.
We had some difficulties with getting into the unit the first day. There was an issue with the door and we had to wait for an answering service to get a hold of maintenance, but after a brief wait, he showed up and got us in.
I would like to encourage the owner to do some updates in the bathroom. Some caulking might be nice, a new shower curtain, at least. And maybe this is being nit picky, but maybe if you could leave just a little bit more in the way of amenities?
Having said all that, I would recommend this property to a friend because of its location and amazing view.

We had a great time and enjoyed unit #9! it was in good condition and we had no issues with the condo. We did not get any use out of the Vacayzen rental credit because we had them deliver a 2 person kayak which was delivered but they did not include any life jackets. I also asked to rent two more and they had sero to provide. I went out once with my wife and because the water was rough we did not feel comfortable without life jackets. Very disappointed with Vacayzen :-(

Great beach stay
by Nolensville TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall our vacation was wonderful!! We have rented several times with garret realty and will continue to do so. There were a few things within the place that could be improved upon. The curtains in the upstairs master bedroom are missing a few hooks and do not hang correctly because of it. There was only one pot holder and no kitchen towels so I had to use beach towels to take things out of the oven. We had a slight hiccup with the portable chairs and umbrellas from vaycazen. They were not delivered on the day we arrived and we didn’t get them until the next day at the end of the day so did not have them for two days. The company was incredibly hard to get in touch with. They said they would refund me for the days we missed and I still haven’t received any money back from them. We loved the location of Blue nine! We felt like the price was a little steep for the condo. It was slightly outdated, but we also felt like we were paying to be on the beach so we were happy with it. Thank you all for what you do! We will see you next summer!

Good location, condo in need of updates and renovation
by Brentwood TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Positive: Great location! Being able to walk out onto the deck and have that view is a big perk. Ability to easily walk back up the stairs to go to the bathroom is a huge convenience.
Negative: The condo really needs to be updated. I thought I was on the set of Golden Girls. Hasn't been painted in a long time. The ceiling has a lot of water stains. Bathrooms are in pretty bad shape. On the bright side, the couch, refrigerator and dinning room table were new.
In summary, if this condo was updated with new bathrooms, nicer kitchen and updated decorating, it would be a jewel.

Great stay with a great view on a great beach!
by Austin TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
If you are looking for a quiet getaway on 30A, this is the place to be. It was perfect for our family of five. There were not any high rises or public beach access in the immediate area so there was plenty of room to spread out on the beach. The unit is a little outdated, but it's still a very nice place to stay. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the outdoor area was really nice. We cannot wait to return again soon.

Condo was very clean, every room was nice and clean all bathrooms were clean and plenty of towels. Kitchen had plenty of dishes, just enough dish soap for the week and there was also plenty of washing machine soap for a few loads of laundry. We enjoyed our stay very much, we met a few of the other renters(owner)and they all seemed to be having a great time...

We had a wonderful time. The rental was perfect for us and we had everything we needed. The patio furniture downstairs should be updated though. Everyone we dealt with was professional and helpful. The beach was perfect! Plan on staying again!
