Better than expected
by Franklin TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Great layout, great location, super cute. We’ve been traveling to the area for 20 year’s and this house (when combined with the neighborhood location and proximity to the beach) is probably our favorite.
Things to note: bedroom and bathroom doors do not lock reliably (not a deal breaker but worth mentioning), the grill at the house is definitely in need of replacing (we ended up using the grill by the pool), the kitchen is well equipped for a large party aside from hardly any forks or regular spoons (but plenty of pots and pans). The landing area on the 3rd level with the two twin beds really needs a dresser so anyone sleeping there for a week has a place to unpack and put their clothes.
There’s plenty of dining and lounging seating. The extra refrigerator/freezer in the garage and extra parking is a huge plus!
Make sure you scan the QR code when you arrive. It will have alllll the codes you need for the gates, pool, etc.
Private beach area is great and beach is gorgeous. 4 minute walk is pretty accurate. Pool is SO close!
The only big negative is that you have to have a fob to enter AND leave the beach access. Such a terrible policy when you have houses that hold so many people. There really should be a gate code. But we’ve had this in other properties, it’s not specific to this one. But it really is a problem the HOA should address.
Overall though it’s great and we will definitely be looking to return!

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the layout, location, and charm of the house, and that the proximity to the beach and pool were such positives for you. We appreciate you bringing the issues with the bedroom and bathroom doors, grill, kitchen utensils, and the need for additional storage to our attention. We will address these with our maintenance team to improve future stays. We understand the frustration with the beach access policy and agree that it can be inconvenient. Your feedback is valuable, and we will pass it along to the HOA. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Thank you for staying with us! Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Loved the house. Perfect layout and beautiful. House needed a better cleaning. Handprint on window, and needed dusting and a wipe down. Grill grates were rusty and dirty

Everything at the property itself was great. Benchmark was disappointing and difficult to get a hold of.The code for the pool and gate going to beach was not available at the location. When we called Benchmark several times it took them two days to get back. We have rented from Benchmark many times over the years and usually get amazing service. Do not know what happened here.

Perfect spring break!

We loved our stay here! Distance to beach was great and we rented bikes and rode to the square. It was beautiful! Loved the Forrest behind us and it made the house very private and quiet. We loved everything! Management was easy to contact and all instructions were easy to find and understand. Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful home with private beach access
by Edwardsville IL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The house was beautiful & bigger than it looked in photos. Overall it was in good condition. Beds were a little noisy & there were some minor things that were a little run down, but no major complaints. Having the private beach access was wonderful & just a short walk away (the 1 key fob thing was a pain, but expected). Great location on 30A. Pool was nice, but very warm. Plenty of beach chairs & 2 wagons, plus boogie boards. The kitchen had most everything except washcloths, dish soap & a pizza cutter. Construction is going on next door, but they were mostly quiet & in the finishing stages. Overall great stay!
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you so much, Heather, for your considerate review! We're thrilled to learn that you found the house to be beautiful and more spacious than expected. Your feedback about the beds and some minor wear and tear is highly valued as we are constantly striving for improvement. Despite the slight inconvenience of the key fob situation, we're delighted to know that you enjoyed the private beach access. The convenient location and amenities such as the pool, beach chairs, wagons, and boogie boards seem to have added to your positive experience. We will certainly address the missing kitchen items you mentioned. We apologize for any disturbance caused by the neighboring construction; however, we're glad it didn't significantly affect your stay.
Overall, we're overjoyed that you had a wonderful time, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Great Property
by Kansas City MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My family rented Ocean Park. It was an amazing house and large enough so everyone could have their own space. The community also offered an amazing pool which we used nearly every evening. Home is conveniently located and nearly directly across the street from the beach access point.
I will also note we initially had an issue with the main refrigerator and we called Benchmark. Benchmark worked with us and corrected the issue timely and we were very satisfied.

Gated location and easy walkability
by Franklin TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We really enjoyed our stay and the beach access crossing 30A worked out fine as most vehicles stop to let us cross. The home layout also great for our group with two under 5 yrs. old. Great pool for the small neighborhood and we had it most times to ourselves. Home photos are accurate but some items need 's a rental and there is some wear and tear. Old Mr Coffee pot, kitchen utensils and pans could be better.

Loved the location! The house had dirty toilets/sinks! The island in the kitchen was dirty! The coffee maker quit working after a day. The gas grill has a leak. It smelled like gas sitting on the porch.The light fixture in bath In upstairs bedroom did not work. Bulbs are probably out. Other than those few things everything else was great!

Beautiful house, great beach access!
by Media PA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Park! The house is gorgeous and well equipped. The beach access is wonderful. Our group was 4 adults and 2 kids, so the key fob was not as big of a deal for us, but 2 would have been nice. The community pool is not heated, so we couldn't enjoy it during our stay. However, we would stay again.
Response from Benchmark Management
Jami, thank you for finding the time to share the details of your recent visit. We're thrilled to know you and your family had such a great time at Ocean Park! The home is very spacious, with great parking options and quick access to the beach. We're sorry you didn't get to make use of the community pool. It is usually perfect during hot summertime after a long day at the beach. We're happy to find other options next time that suits your needs. We love your suggestion about adding another fob and will pass this information on to our team. We're already looking forward to your return for another great beach vacation!
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management

Wonderful 30A vacation home close to the beach
by Ballwin MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We just got home from an incredible week in Seagrove at the Ocean Park home. The house is beautiful and very updated. Major bonus feature is it's 3 master king bedrooms with luxury bathrooms and plenty of living space that if you are traveling with multiple families there is more than enough room for everyone. It is a very quick walk to the ocean with a gorgeous private beach access that was never crowded, even during peak season. The double decker pool was also beautiful. We have stayed in 30a area at least 5 times and this was by far our favorite home based on its proximity to the beach and gorgeous amenities. I would love to return!
I also want to give a shout out to Benchmark Management, the air conditioning on one of the three levels was not working properly one evening and they sent someone and had it repaired within less than 2 hours. Excellent customer service!

Family Vacation on 30A
by Hartwell GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We really enjoyed our week on 30A in the Seagrove area. Truly a 4 minute walk to the beach and our section of the beach was not crowded. We could ride bikes to Seaside and The Hub and several other places to eat and shop. The house was perfectly suited for our needs, clean and well stock with supplies. The pool was very close as well. Only complaint - wish there was more than one fob (key) to access the beach.
Response from Benchmark Management
We're thrilled that you enjoyed your week at Ocean Park. Your all-five rating of this house is greatly appreciated. Please come again!

Fantastic Weekend Trip!

A stone's throw away from the beach, house stocked with beach chairs and beach toys (and a wagon to haul it all!), smack in the middle of 30A... this house is perfect. We had a large girl's weekend and we had plenty of space to spread out and come together. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had two families stay in this beautiful home for a week. The house was as described. The kitchen was well equipped - we cooked in a couple times. One thing to note - the space with the two twin beds is not a room, it is an open are.
