Fantastic , Cozy Condo
by Marietta GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
I booked this unit for a month. It is well stocked with everything you need. They provide plenty of linens. Having a Keurig and a coffee maker allows for options. The unit was clean. I was grateful for a washer and dryer , broom, and vacuum, especially being there so long. There is one thing I would suggest, providing a swiffer mop for long term rentals. Overall, I had no issues with the unit. It was like being home away from home. Great location for beach, biking, shopping, and restaurants. I love that I can park my car and take my bike everywhere!

Great place to stay
by downers grove IL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This place was perfect for me , my hubs danc and 2 kids. Space and layout worked out great. The only thing i wish we had was an gulf view; in the bigger scope of things it didn’t matter too much as the interior of the unit was very much upgraded and welcoming, we were across from the pool
And under a 5 min walk to the beach. Love this area of seagrove - i would go again next year

Really enjoyed this condo! Close to the beach, no need to cross 30A. Very clean and newly updated furniture, kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds. I'll rent this unit again! Only complaint was fridge water filter needed replacement.

Very much enjoyed our stay. The unit was D5 and all recently renovated and well stocked. The location was great with walkable places to eat. You cannot beat the beach and water at Seagrove.

40th on 30A!
by Highland village TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My wife and family have been vacationing on the Emerald Coast for 20 years. My wife and I usually visit 3 times a year. We look for quiet places with great access to the beach and in this case a place that has been updated. Palms D5 checks all 3 boxes and then some! This condo is over the top wonderful. Clean, new, and the management company and owners are wonderful. This will be our getaway for the foreseeable future. We were originally scheduled to stay in August but due to Covid we had to cancel last minute and the owners were VERY accommodating and let us move our week. Top notch place and a pleasure to do business!
Response from Benchmark Management

The Palms D5
by Searcy AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our first time to this area and we loved it. The room was perfect, clean and updated so cute. Just a short walk to the beach access gate which was so convenient. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Our bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. We would totally stay here again.

Great Stay in 30A
by Arlington TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Positive: We loved the location! Condo is spacious and Located right on the bike trail and just steps to the beach. It’s a short bike ride to Seaside and about 7miles to Rosemary Beach. We appreciated the convenience of having a washer/dryer and parking was super easy. Benchmark Management was very kind to let us in a bit earlier because it was cold day and we had a baby with us! Condo was clean although it felt like it could use a refresh.
Negatives: There was a lot of construction going on in the parking lot. Didn’t bother us too much but some people might not like that on their vacation! The master bed was advertised as a “King” but it’s definitely a smaller.

Everything was fine - Fix bed description
by Nolensville TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This is more of my overall experience than the place. I booked a unit a little nicer and with a better view than this one, but the AC wasn't working so I ended up here. Decent place, VERY convenient to the beach (best part) BUT the description said it was a king-size bed and it's only a queen. All in all, good place. My commentary is more towards my situation than this unit.
Response from Benchmark Management
Christoper,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are truly sorry you had to be relocated last minute due to the ac issues in your original unit. I would like to thank you and your wife for your complete understanding and kindness while we were working with you to find another property. I sincerely apologize for the issues with the bedding and we have reported this to our web department to correct. I am happy to hear you were happy with the location. The Palms is located conveniently to shops and restaurants and not to mention the short walk to the beach!! We hope you see you and your wife again soon to provide you with a 5 star experience.
Thanks again,
Benchmark Management

Loved the condo, but communiction could have be better.
by GRANBURY TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Loved the condo and had a great overall stay. Struggled with the rental company's communication on beach conditions prior to the stay as the beaches around our condo and beach access had a lot of black wash out, debri, etc. from Sally. When we called a few days prior to our arrival we were told that outside of some beach erosion they were in great condition. That was not the case and wish they would have communicated the actual condition to give us an opportunity to switch locations. We ended up walking several blocks down so the kids could enjoy the beach so it worked out and the condo was excellent.
Response from Benchmark Management
Scott,
Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that the beach wasn't in great shape after Hurricane Sally came through! We do try to be as honest with our guests as possible, but sometimes it is hard to get eyes on every beach. We do apologize if that was not disclosed to you! Beach conditions are not in our control so we do not typically offer to swap units due to undesirable beach conditions. We are glad that you were able to make the most of your stay as this is a great unit! We do hope that you will come back and see us again, and that the beaches are perfect when you do!
Thank you,
Benchmark Management.

Terrific furnishings and welcoming touches to perfectly clean condo close to the beach. Steps to the pool and beach, well kept property we have stayed at twice before. A hundred yards to bike rental and most gorgeous shore! Great entertainment system and wifi for kids. They love the bunk beds and two bathrooms! We will be back again soon!

Perfect stay!
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was perfect for our stay. We’ve stayed in every building at the Palms. I really enjoyed D5. The decor is beautiful, the furnishings comfortable and it was clean. My only complaint is the lighting. Being older I tend to need more light. The lamps were beautiful but not bright. Although there were overhead lights, I prefer lamps.
But that is just a very small complaint. Everything else was wonderful!
The Palms is the best place on the beach too stay!

Palms D5
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Condo was decorated tastefully, was just steps to the beach and pool. Very clean and comfortable. We have been coming to the Florida panhandle for years, this was a last minute trip, we think we have found a new favorite. The Location was great. Seaside was just down the road with the food trucks, amazing! Destin and Panama City were close enough for us to go to both. Our favorite thing was that the private beach access allowed us not to fight a crowd. At night we would walk and could see the stars at it wasn't lit up by the city. Very quaint! The only downfall was the rug in the hallway. We all slipped on it until we decided to roll up and store it until we left. Hope to secure this condo for next year!

★★★★★ 5 of 5
Although this is not our first stay in Seagrove (and won't be our last), it was our first at The Palms at Seagrove. D-S was a great vacation home, comfortable, cheerful, and our sons LOVED the fun of the bunk beds, while we loved the value of the rent! :) Just a short walk and a few steps and we were on the beach, and close to so many things to do in neighboring communities. I definitely recommend this location!
