Great Stay
by Evans GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our experience was overall fantastic. Condo was clean, cool, easy to access. Direct access to the beach. We had a question regarding beach chair service and it was answered promptly. Location is perfect as it minutes from so many great restaurants as well as the grocery store. This was our second year staying at this condo and have enjoyed both stays!

A winner at Monterey Condos on E30A
by Perry GA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Have stayed at Monterey Condos several times. Gulf front location is excellent! The owner of this particular unit (C301) has upgraded each of the bathrooms. The master bathtub and shower upgrade is substantial.
Other upgrades as well! Unit could use other upgrades from rental "wear and tear" such as cushions and pillows on furniture. In summary, one of the better units at Monterey!

Vacation Rental
by Roswell Ge
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The view and location were excellent. The condo was decorated very tastefully and was lovely with the exception of no chest of drawers or dresser in primary suite. There were no directions on how to operate the tv which took us considerable time to figure out. That would be extremely helpful, if directions were provided. Only major complaint were the cleanliness of the floors. They appeared clean, but our feet turned black from walking on them and when we wiped a spill up on the kitchen floor, the paper towel was black. We did enjoy the balcony although cushions in the outdoor chairs would have been appreciated.
Response from Benchmark Management

The rental was nice and clean,but the sliding door to the master bathroom was a pain. It was so hard to slide...too heavy for a bathroom door.

Family vacation 2022
by Albertville Al
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. Bed's were comfortable. It was beautifully decorated . We loved the area. The daily umbrella and chair rental was a very nice touch. The only things that would have made it better are a broom, more washcloths and linen for the sofa bed.
Response from Benchmark Management

Beautiful place, accommodated our family perfectly. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and appliances. Things that would be a nice addition: chest/dresser in master (no drawers for clothes currently) and a broom to sweep the floor. Looking forward to our next adventure
