Perfect Inn for a couples trip
by Parkville MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our room at the Inn was the perfect size for us. The room was nice and everything was up to date. The deck was perfect for a glass of wine at the end of the day.
Response from Benchmark Management

The kitchenette is well appointed with granite countertops, a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker.

We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience here with Benchmark Management and we look forward to seeing your family in the future.

Excellent stay. We had a wonderful trip. Only thing needed attention was new mattress needed.

Nice location
by Little Rock AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We enjoyed the location as everything was within walking distance. The condo itself was clean, fully furnished mini kitchen and nice view of the pool. The pillows were flat, so bring your own. The walls are very thin, we could hear word for word EVERYTHING that went on next door. The beach access is conveniently located but it was so crowded we only went there 1/2 a day. The rest of our vacation we drove to public beach access so we were not elbow to elbow with people we didn’t know. We didn’t rent beach chairs, but if you are going to go to the beach access provided I would 100% recommend renting them so you have personal space.

We had a great stay at Inn At Seacrest 303. This condo has an amazing view. The unit is well equipped with everything we needed. The bed and patio furniture are comfortable.
This was our first stay at unit 303 and we look forward to going back again. This is a excellent location (Next door to Alys Beach)
Thanks so much! We will use Benchmark Management when we book our beach vacation next time.

Weekend Getaway
by Dallas TX

I went to the beach for a wedding but ended up having a mini vacation! I was thrilled with the proximity of the Inn at Seacrest to the beach and restaurants in the area. If you like to walk every everything is at your disposal. Otherwise there are trams to take or bicycles to rent for transportation needs. The condo was clean and very safe.

Excellent Location, But A Little Cramped
by N/A CO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was in the perfect location, was very clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful. However, the space did feel a little dark and more cramped than pictures make it appear.
The balcony, however, was enormous so that was a major bonus.
Also, I should note, that Seacrest Beach where we had access was very crammed during the day and it was absolutely miserable to be there then. We enjoyed the beach later in the afternoon and evenings when we could walk up and down freely without the awful security guarding their “private” areas.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hi Melissa,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience while staying in our rental.
We do sincerely apologize for the beach being cramped. This year was a busy year more so then normal.
We are so happy the unit itself was pleasing to you. The balcony is one of the best assets of the property.
Thank you for the feedback regarding the lighting that we can fix.
We work hard each day to bring ours guests the best vacation experience.
We can’t wait to see you again on our beautiful beaches.
Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Nice place
by Parker City IN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was very clean & exactly as pictures depicted. The pool area is pretty nice. The area of Seacrest is beautiful, tropical, very nicely landscaped & seems upscale. There are wonderful places to eat, shop, & walking/biking are definitely the popular modes of transportation. The check in/check out process was extremely easy & the app is super convenient.
Some things not related to the rental experience:
FYI there is no washer or dryer in the unit. There is a “laundry room” which consists of 1 washer/1 dryer, located on the first floor, for everyone without washers/dryers in their condos. Needless to say it can be difficult to find them empty. Plus you’re trekking down with your laundry to check & then switch them over.
The walk to the beach isn’t terrible but it is a decent walk (good 15 minutes). Unfortunately the designated area for Seacrest guests is super tiny & PACKED with rental chairs. You can not place your beach stuff in front of any of their rental chairs. My husband & I, along with other Seacrest guests, discussed the beach crowding when hanging at the pool. We all ended up back at the pool. It’s impossible to find a spot on the beach. If you try to go to other areas which may be less crowded, they are owned by other resorts so they kick you out of those areas. I didn’t expect that & I have traveled to PCB area numerous times over the last 20 years. Even in the heart of PCB, we always could find a place on the beach to set up camp for the day. We weren’t able to do do a beach day even 1 time this trip. On a positive note, we did meet some really nice people while hanging at the pool.
Also, almost every restaurant/business closes at 9pm every night. If you want to eat a little late or anything, you will have to drive to PCB, because at 9pm the town of Seacrest is basically shut down. Again, not what I expected from a busy beach town. We chose to stay here to be away

Hello Melissa,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on Inn at Seacrest Condo. We were happy to have you and are so grateful for your response.
We agree this year we did see a increase in guest all over the Florida Panhandle. We can only suspect it had to do with the closing of the boarders and cabin fever.
We work hard each and every day to bring ours guests the best vacation experience possible, we do hope you will come back and have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful beaches.

My husband and I rented this condo for 3 nights to attend a wedding in Alys Beach. The location was perfect. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. I would stay here again. I have two concerns. One, the ceiling fan is loud so we were not able to use it. Also, there was very little hot water in the shower one day, but the next day there was enough.
Response from Benchmark Management
Hello Jamie,
Thank you for choosing our little condo for your wedding accommodations! Inn at Seacrest is definitely a great option to be near Alys beach. We appreciate your feedback about the fan as well; we will be sure to let our team know! See you again soon for a clean and comfortable 30A experience!

PERFECT
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The Inn at Seacrest was perfect for us. We stayed for one week and enjoyed every minute of it. The room was a good size for both my wife and I. With a full size fridge, a toaster oven and a coffee maker - we had all that we needed. The shower was of good strength. The walk out porch was comforting and soothing, with a very nice view. The pool was right below us and the ocean was so easy to get to. The people operating the Tram, that would take us to and from the ocean - were the nicest people. Everything that we needed - was within walking distance. We will be back, again. Hopefully, the same time next year. The end of September is perfect for us who are coming from Massachusetts. Thank you so much for being a part of our wonderful vacation. ~ Drew

Beautiful place to relax. Shops and great places to eat a treat. Needed hangers in closet and drying rack on balcony. Loved the fluffy towels and hanging by the pool.

This was perfect for my boyfriend and I! Beautiful views from the balcony, close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. It’s more of a community and less commercial than Destin or Panama City and exactly what we needed for a relaxing vacation. We highly recommend the Grouper and Grits at Shades and the Cathead at Big Bad Breakfast.

★★★★★ 5 of 5
My SO and I needed a place to stay for a couple of nights and booked this condo/apt in Seacrest Beach. It's very similar to a hotel room but with more amenities. The owners have done a great job of decorating and providing all we needed for our stay. Kitchenette area that provides meal preparations using the microwave and toaster over (no built-in oven) which was more that adequate for our stay. Large bathroom with room for storage, plenty of towels, closet for storing food, another closet for clothing. Queen bed with bedside tables, nice pillows. Ceiling fan over bed. Roomy porch looking out over the pool and beyond to the ocean. . . which included very nice loveseat, chairs, and a coffee table. I checked out the patio furniture of the units on either side and this unit was by far the nicest! I bit of a walk to the beach but not too far. Walked to Rosemary Beach for breakfast one morning. Overall, I'd highly recommend this condo!
