Great location

The location was outstanding. Directly on the beach. Our family had a great time. The supplies of toilet paper (3), trash bags (2), paper towels (1), dishwasher tab (1), etc. were definitely not enough for a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom unit rented for a week.

Nice condo and beach access, but had issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: PROS:The condo is in a great location with direct beach access. The beach area in front of the condo is private for families staying in Blue Nine, so the beach area is never going to be crowded.The condo was clean and suited our needs perfectly (3 bedroom, with 4 beds total).CONS:The high-speed internet router had to be reset several times because the connection kept dropping. In this era of video streaming, without internet you can't watch TV. I called Benchmark and there's pretty much nothing they can do. I called the internet provider and they said they would come out the next day. They didn't show, and then I got a text from them saying I had an appointment for the week after we left. I finally figured out the router was overheating, and moved it out of the cabinet.We saw 2 cockroaches in the condo; 1 live and 1 dead. It was the biggest roach I've ever seen. I called Benchmark 3 times. Each time they said they would get it treated, and they never did. This was an issue for us, as my family was creeped out by it, and we were paranoid for the remainder of our stay.

Terrible Customer Service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Due to the poor customer service from Benchmark Property Management, I cannot give good ratings for this property. Just ten days prior to our trip, I found out through an email in my Spam Folder, not even a phone call, that we had to make other arrangements due to construction at the original place we booked. If I had not happened upon that email, we would have driven 12 hours and not had a place to stay. Calls to Benchmark to help me went unanswered and messages unreturned. Ultimately, I booked Blue Nine 3 which was well-equipped and comfortable. Unfortunately, it had cockroaches, a clogged drain which my husband cleared, loose plumbing fixtures (see a review from a Sept. 2023 guest), and the magnificent view is only from the 2nd floor not the main floor which my 90 yr. old mother couldn't enjoy because of the stairs. I asked Benchmark to take care of the roaches and their droppings, and they said they'd "get back" to me, but never did. They also promised twice to apply a "15% Easter Discount" and I was told three times in writing and verbally that they had applied it and would see it on my card soon. After a month of unreturned calls, leaving messages, then reps. telling me they would "check into it" but then not calling back, I was then told it was too late because the transaction was closed. After speaking to a manager, I am still waiting for someone to "get back" to me. Owners and guests should be aware of such poor customer service, lack of follow-through, and not holding true to their word by Benchmark Property Management.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr 2024
Dear Patricia, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with Benchmark Management. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. We understand the importance of effective communication and regret any confusion surrounding the notification of the change in accommodations from Emerald Hill due to Condo Association renovations. Our records indicate that attempts were made to contact you promptly after being informed of the construction situation, and we regret any oversight regarding the communication method. Regarding the issues you encountered at Blue Nine 3, we take cleanliness and maintenance concerns very seriously. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention, and we have took immediate action to address them, including arranging for pest control services and addressing plumbing issues. Additionally, we apologize for any discrepancies regarding the application of the Easter discount. This has been issued to you as we agreed. We strive to provide exceptional customer service, and we are disappointed to learn that we fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve our services. We value your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

Hi Vance, thank you for staying with us at Blue Nine. We are so happy to hear that you found the location great and that the beach access was perfect for your group. We also thank you for your positive cleaning remarks as our team does their best to prepare the units for guest arrival. On the other hand, we are truly sorry that the internet service was not the very best during your stay. Please note however that although most of our units have access to the internet, the service is not gauranteed as it is provided by an outside vendor as well as other factors. Due to the service being provided by a third party we have no control over their work schedule. It was our hope that it could have been rectified during your stay as it is always our aim to fix any issues guests have as quickly as possible. We are truly sorry that the company did not show up until after your departure. In regards to the issue with the pests, please note that we take reports of pests very seriously and treat each report with urgency. We thanked you for bringing the issue to our attention and we immediately reached out to the pest control company, again; due to them being a third party; we have no control of their schedule. They did however indicate when they would come. We informed you of this and asked for permission for them to enter. We truly apologize for the inconvenience the aforementioned issues caused during your stay. We want to assure you however that all issues have been addressed and should not be present for future stays. We truly hope we can welcome you again in the future for a much better experience! Please know that customer satisfaction means alot to us! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us! Regards Benchmark Management

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect with direct access to the beach. It was the perfect size for our family. The condo is very dated with stains on the carpet, dirty cabinets and old appliances. For the price, it needs to be updated. The Wi-Fi was awful. We had to leave the condo to log into work, which was a huge inconvenience. On the day of our departure, a furniture delivery truck arrived. Our daughters were in the shower and we were trying to load up our car. We weren’t notified of the delivery and the drivers were frustrated we wouldn’t let them in.

Julie, Thank you for taking the time to review your vacation with us! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location and size of the unit you chose this year. We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication regarding the furniture delivery; we did not receive any word from the owner to expect a delivery or we would've let you know the moment we found out and had a property manager meet the drivers there. We appreciate your feedback on the unit in particular as well so that we may give this unit the TLC it deserves. As for the WiFi, we recommend guests bring a hotspot if you require connection as the local service providers do have slow connection or outages during busier times of the year. We hope that we have the chance to welcome you back and offer a full 5-star vacation to your family in the future. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Great location but over priced!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is the only thing this unit has going for it! This townhouse is run down and worn out! It could use a spring cleaning as well. It is way overpriced for being so outdated!!
