My husband and I had a wonderful time at Leo’s Hideaway for the week! The only gripe we had was when we took a shower we hardly had any hot water we ended up taking mostly cold showers,other than that everything was good.

Great Family Getaway at Leo’s Hideaway
by N/A CO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The house was as described in the description. Easy lock to enter the house. The house was very clean. I had expected it to possibly have a pet odor since it is a pet friendly place. There was no pet odor at all and the place was spotless. The location was a big plus. The Carousel grocery store is behind the property. You can see the beach and beautiful green space behind this property’s fenced in yard. Thomas Donuts is in walking distance which we enjoyed on a couple of occasions. The pool was perfect for the whole family especially for the grandkids. We all enjoyed the open space of the backyard where kids had fun running around and playing. We felt like we had our own private space. The gas grill was a wonderful convenience the first night we arrived for grilling hamburgers and hotdogs. We will consider staying at this place again for another family beach vacation.

Family Summer stay
by Murfreesboro TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The place is in a perfect location and the we found it to be very clean. The beds were all comfortable. Just know the bathrooms are small. One is so small you can barely move in it. We had issues with having hot water and thought it was resolved but it would still come and go. Which is annoying. Two chairs by the fire pit were broken and one by the pool was too. There were plenty of chairs to use to take to the beach, but there were a lot of junky chairs and rusty wagons that just need to be removed from the back yard. The pool was the perfect size and just lovely. Overall we had a great trip minus the hot water issue which was attempted to be fixed.
Response from Benchmark Management

The owners appreciate your feedback and have already replaced the broken chairs by the fire pit and pool. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the hot water issue. We're happy to hear that overall you had a great trip and hope to welcome you back in the future!
Best regards, Benchmark Management

Beachy retreat
by Orlando FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Visited at the end of April with my family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 young kids age 2 and 4). What a nice little escape. Right across the street from the beach, a nice heated pool and huge backyard, also set far back from the road which was really nice. We liked the location a lot because it wasn’t far from Panama City and just a short drive to places like Rosemary beach and seaside. The beds were comfortable. Our favorite area was the back porch. Enjoyed eating our meals back there. The pool was nice, it has a little shelf for sitting in the water and for little ones to play without being too deep. The common area was small for our family of 6, just a small kitchen/family room combo, so we didn’t spend a ton of time in the house hanging out. Also just a heads up, the fire alarm is in the kitchen, so if you create any smoke (think bacon or burgers or even sauteeing veggies), it’ll get set off. We would just flap a towel under the alarm and it would stop chiming; also cooking with the door open helped too. Just some house quirks. Nothing that would prevent us from returning. Overall, had a lovely stay and would return again when in the area next.

Early spring get away
by Grove City OH
★★★★★ 5 of 5
❤️ love ❤️ the location of the property!!! The house was clean and well stocked kitchen for cooking during the week! Very convenient to grocery and the beach being walking distance!!
My only recommendation is seating around fire pit needs replaced as many chairs were broken. And maybe not every chair out there be an Adirondack type, not comfy for fire pit!
The pool was amazing!

Simply put - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Walk to the beach, walk to the grocery complex, no neighbors anywhere near the backyard. The House and yard are perfect for families young and old. And the fenced yard really made it safe for kids and pets!

Leo’s vacation retreat
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Great location, newer pool, dog friendly and the right amount of space for us. Stayed for 3 weeks this spring as we did last year. Had a couple mechanical issues, no fault to management but they were quickly resolved. Cleaning could have been slightly better but we always do a once over when we arrive. Enjoy Leo’s and plan to stay again next year.
