Cute, great location, and fully stocked
by Little Elm TX
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
My daughter and I had a great experience at Rollin Tide C7. We found the unit exactly as described and were able to enjoy spring break due to having everything we needed in this little gem. The location is convenient to the beach and local restaurants, and far enough off the road that the noise from spring breakers wasn't even noticed. We did have a little ant issue that was easily remedied with some spray that was found under the sink. We also accidentally left behind a few clothing items that we'd like to retrieve, yet the process to get those back has not been an easy one. The pool says heated but it wasn't on, so many of the vacationers were complaining since the weather was so cool and couldn't provide any heat. Overall, I'd stay there again and was happy with the spot.

Absolutely Perfect!

We arrived on January 20th in the Santa Rosa Beach area. We booked a rental at the Rolling Tides condos A-1 bottom floor, and it was nice, a tiny bit dusty but still very satisfied with our 12 day stay. Then we moved to a small house a 1/2 block away and “that property was managed by VACASA, OMG that property was a total mistake for us, we battled fleas, and spent 15 days of our 30 day stay riding them from the place and our dog! It took me 4 hours to remove the dirt and dust before unpacking as the moment we walked in I had a sore throat from the smell and unbearable amount of dust “especially under the beds”!!! Now, let’s get to good Brother and his wife wanted to visit this area for 3 nights so we booked with Benchmark for this lovely property at The Rolling Tides C-7 which was upstairs facing west over the pool...OMG...this place was spotless and even I couldn’t find anything that needed cleaning ��...it was beautifully decorated and since it faced west, they had a bit of lovely sunshine in the afternoon “which felt wonderful on a February day”... the only reason my Husband and I didn’t book that property was that it didn’t have a King bed!! But if we ever go back to that area...I would definitely stay there even if I had to sleep on the pull out.
Benchmark property management team deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️review!!

Relaxing Retreat
by Crossville Tennessee
★★★★★ 5 of 5
From time arriving until leaving, this was an enjoyable vacation stay. Very pet friendly and had everything that was needed for a Think Happy Thoughts retreat away from home. Condo was clean and all was in working order. Patio chairs on the deck were a nice touch to snuggle into and relax. The bed was very comfortable as found in high end hotels. Loved that it was walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Benchmark was helpful and very attentive to my needs. Being able to bring my dog made the whole stay perfect.

Thumbs up
by Monroe GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our family of 3 throughly enjoyed our stay. Nice little community that felt very safe. Loved the pool view. Close to everything but felt far from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Had just about everything we needed although I did not cook much, bed was comfy, clean and homey. Hair dryer was provided and charcoal grill was close to the unit. We used our credit toward bikes from Vacayzen, the bikes were delivered promptly but in terrible condition. The beach was close, but once you get there you are limited to where you can set due to having areas blocked as private.

Adorable Condo
by Avondale Estates GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This condo is adorable. It has every kitchen convenience you need on vacation during a pandemic. It’s well-stocked. It was super clean. We enjoyed how close it is to restaurants and the walk/bike paths along the 30A. We brought our dog, too. She enjoyed the many walks. Our only suggestion is to improve the mattress in the bedroom. It was not comfortable. Otherwise - a perfect beach vacation! Thank you for the stay.

During these difficult days of Covid and loads of life cancellations, it was so nice to get away! Your home was the perfect retreat for our little family (and two of our son's closest friends). This trip was our son's 16th birthday gift (long overdue) and he and my husband did a wonderful deep-sea fishing trip out of Niceville (with lots of success!). Many blessings to you for 2020. Stay healthy and happy.

Great Stay on 30A
by Missouri City TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Great value -- Pet and family friendly condo in a good location. Condo and amenities were as described. Nice decor. Starter supply of bathroom and kitchen soaps were supplied which was nice; even had laundry and dishwasher detergent for a few loads. You will definitely need extra trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper if you are staying more than 4 nights and are more than 2 people. Super convenient to have a full size washer and dryer in the unit as well as beach chairs and a nice beach umbrella. The pool looked nice, but we did not use it. We were at the beautiful beach all day every day! The condo is located between two beach access points -- about a 5 minute walk to either one. Our 9 and 11 yr old boys normally complain about walking anywhere, but they did not mind this walk at all! We cooked most meals in house, but the condo is also walking distance to eating/shopping options and a short drive to many others. Many people traveled by bike or golf carts -- if you are planning on biking after sunset, then be sure to bring headlamps/flashlights/bike lights. The roads are dark after sunset so better to be seen and able to see the path ahead of you. Nice and quiet area to walk our dog -- she enjoyed her morning runs along 30A. Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed our first family trip to the Emerald Coast. We would recommend this condo and will return as long as our two boys fit on the sofa bed together...which may not be much longer :( Easy reservation/check-in/check-out.
Suggestions for improvement:
1) Cutting board in the kitchen and a larger knife for cutting larger fruits like watermelon and canteloupe
2) Bathtub could drain better
3) Fresher pillows & shower curtain liner -- we doubled up on the pillow cases or placed an extra sheet over the pillow cases
4) Steam clean couch and bedroom carpet
5) Sofa bed probably would be uncomfortable for an adult or heavier weight person but our 9 and 11 yr old boys had no problems sleep

Great week in the sun at Gentle Tides
by Goshen KY
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We enjoyed our stay at Gentle Tides. The condo was roomier and nicer than the pictures showed. It was a short walk to the beach access. The place was clean and with well stocked kitchen. Appreciated that there were extra pillows, beach chairs, and even salt & pepper & olive oil for cooking our Goat Feathers' shrimp and crab cakes.

My family and I usually visit the area every year or every other year. This was our first time staying here and it was great. We had a wonderful visit. My kids had a blast and so did the dog. It was great to have a quiet place to unwind right on the beach.

Great for pets and people!
by Linden TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Gentle Tides is a comfortable gem for families and pets. The well maintained grassy areas and trash receptacles were well placed for pet owners. The pool area is lovely, well maintained and perfect for sunbathing then taking a refreshing dip.
The property is located between two public beach access points and across heavily trafficked 30A. As older folks we opted to use the nice pool rather than make the trek to the ocean.
The unit was clean, well maintained and has comfortable furniture. The washer and dryer were appreciated and necessary to have enough towels for the week. A bath mat is needed when stepping out of the shower/bath.
Hotel sized soap, shampoo, conditioner were there but no extra toilet paper!
We had a great week at Gentle Tides!
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you for submitting your review - all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! So glad you and your furry family member enjoyed Gentle Tide! It is a gem for sure - everything you might need in one little comfy, cozy package! We do realize that 30A can be busy at times so we do ask everyone to use caution when crossing! Luckily it's just a quick walk right over to the beach! We also just wanted to make sure that all of our future guests understand that we do provide a starter set of amenities such as toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap and lotion as well as dishsoap and pods for laundry and the dishwasher but these may not last for your entire stay so if you have any questions about what to bring please just let us know!

Paradise even with a tropical storm

What we thought was going to be a nightmare with a storm boring down, turned into a wonderful week in 30A. The gentile tide condo was perfectly accommodating and minutes walk to the beach. The pool was a wonderful break from the sand and the kids absolutely loved it. We were in a perfect location with great dining, a Publix for groceries, and only 20 miles from Destin and shopping.
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review! Gentle Tide is right in the heart of Seagrove Beach! Within a few minutes of the majestic Gulf of Mexico it is hard to beat the location! For your time away from the beach you can enjoy the fun community pool or head either direction for some boutique shopping! Whether or care to dine out or dine in you are covered - several restaurants within walking distance and a fresh seafood market just a bit down the road! Come stay with us at Gentle Tide - call Benchmark today!

Beach trip
by Mt. Juliet TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
The condo itself was as described and clean. Kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of cooking equipment and utensils to make meals. It was very helpful to have use of beach chairs and umbrella so we didn’t have to bring them from home. The complex itself is a little older, but it was fine. The unit was a 5 to 10 minute walk from the beach, cutting through an area that is now under construction and soon may be blocked off as a public pass thru. However, there is another public beach entrance that’s not far away and probably would be more like a 10 to 12 minute walk from the unit. The property management company neglected to tell us what unit we were in, although we were given the address of the property. I had to call them to find out what unit we were in and it was after hours. To their credit, I got a phone call back within 5 to 10 minutes and we were able to find the unit. Would’ve preferred knowing the unit number before we arrived.

Fall break
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
The only negative was where we had to walk our pets. The sprinkler system was on a schedule which went on every morning and every evening right at the time we tried to walk our dog. The area always remained totally wet and in some areas it was flooded. It required us to walk our dog off the property. That was our only inconvience. Over all we had a very nice stay. Thanks
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you for submitting your review! Glad you enjoyed your stay and we wish we would have know about the areas that were too wet - we could have contacted the Condo Association to see if they could leave the sprinklers off for a couple of days so it could have dried for you! We do hope you will join us again soon!
