★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a great time at this property. The house was very clean when we arrived. The house was comfortable & cozy. The screened deck area was very relaxing and private.
The kitchen had everything I needed.
The grill was nice to have. The property is convenient to get to places.
It’s in a private area on a big lot with Plenty of parking which is nice.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Good location, nothing too fancy
by Hoover AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The house had a good location and accommodated the group I had. Downstairs rooms are very small especially bunk room. Upstairs room good size but it gets hot even when lower area of house was cool. It would have been nice to have a few extra towels so that we didn’t have to do laundry every day. House is very private if you are looking for that. Recommend getting a golf cart to get to beach, Seaside etc. Overall house is a good value for the area. It satisfied our needs.

One of the cleanest well- equipped homes we have stayed in (plenty of kitchen supplies and the welcome kits were perfect). Excellent customer service and communication from Benchmark, too!

Canal of a Good Time
by Roland AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The rental itself was very nice, well stocked. Loved the porches and open kitchen which was conducive to visiting. Would recommend adding additional light along walking paths and driveway at night which can be a bit tricky to navigate at night. As it near many beach accesses it is very difficult to find parking to accommodate your golf cart.

We had a Canal of a good time.
by Flowood MS
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had to book it last minute and was spacious and very well put together. We loved hanging in the back screened in porch area. Wish the master suite was upstairs. Wish they would have had a golf cart available because it was about a 12 minute walk to the beach and downtown area. Had a great time!

Nice rental
by Martinez Ga
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Decided to visit the gulf with the whole family including children and grandchildren. Place was accommodating for our group and clean. Was within walking distance except the neighborhood roads are in terrible condition, so pulling a cart with little ones was not possible. We drove to public beach access. Washer wasn’t working properly, so we reported it. Hopefully it was fixed before next guest. Checkin and checkout was super easy! The town square has great food and shops!

Stephanie,
Thank you for choosing to stay with us this year at Canal of a Good Time and for sharing your feedback. We are happy to report that the washer is working fine now. Thanks to your correspondence, our maintenance team was able to get that running once we got to take a look at it. This home is in great proximity to Seaside, Seagrove, and Watercolor. Take your pick for shopping and dining that the whole family can enjoy! We hope to welcome you all back next year for an even better beach vacation.

Nice house
by Germantown TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We liked the location of the house. It was a short (10 min) walk to the beach. The house overall was in good condition. The screened in porch was nice. We did feel that some things were missed by the cleaning team - there was popcorn from a previous guest under the couch and the couch cushions had stains on them. We would have appreciated more dishes - we had 8 people with us and there were only 5-6 bowls. Ask as another guest had mentioned, the WiFi was not very good. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
Response from Benchmark Management
Allison,
Thank for sharing your experience at Canal Of A Good Time. We were happy to have served you and that you enjoyed your overall stay with us. The internet in the area can be spotty at times due to the limited amount of serve providers we have. Our apologies that we let you down in the cleaning department, usually we are very responsive in correcting these issues once made aware. We can't wait to see you again and make it a complete 5-star experience for you.

Nice Stay
by Greenville SC
★★★★★ 5 of 5
House is very clean and nicely furnished with the exception of the living room couch which is a sectional and is missing a rather large piece. We are a family of 6, so having the entire couch would have been appreciated. The WiFi is really, really bad. I have 4 kids who homeschool year round. It was impossible to complete any of their online school during our seven day stay. WiFi also has weak security, so be aware. House is walking distance to Seaside, WaterColor, and the beach. Super convenient.

We're glad that you enjoyed your stay at Canal Of A Good Time and that its location worked well for you. Please come again!

Lovely home in a great location about a 5-10 minute walk to Seaside! The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals, coffee every morning, etc. We will be back again, we wish we didn't have to go home!
