My husband and I came here on our baboon and it was perfect for me. A beach front sliding door that opens up the a short path leading to the beach access stairs. It wasn’t a far walk at all and exactly what I needed in my third trimester. Checking in was super easy (we were even able to check in 45 minutes early). The space was the perfect size for a couple. We may come back when we have our baby! Super close to the Seaside shops. If I weren’t pregnant I would have biked there daily. Overall great experience!!

No Attention to Detail

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately, I will not be leaving a 5-star review. When we got ready to go to bed at 9:44p on the first night, we discovered there were no sheets for the sofa bed or the Murphey bed. I had to reach out through text three times asking for them and called once. Sheets were not received until 3:43p the next day. One of our kids had to sleep in a chair as a result. Unacceptable for a vacation. When sheets finally arrived, it was only 1 set. Sheets were the only thing delivered. No comforter or blanket. Our family finally went out and purchased blankets rather than asking for something else from the management company. The expectation to cover up with a single sheet is unacceptable. When I requested a second set of sheets, they were delivered in a timely manner. When I rented the unit it listed 3 beds were in the unit, yet there was only bedding for 1. When we went to pull out the Murphey bed, there were loose screws lying on the wood and floor. This indicated the structure would be unsafe for someone to sleep on. As a result the Murphey bed mattress went directly on the floor. Not what was advertised on the listing. The unit only came with 4 towels for 4 people to use over the course of 4 nights. I went out and bought laundry detergent just so I could wash bathing towels daily. We brought our own for beach use. The toilet paper and paper towels were terrible quality. These were other items we went out and purchased on our own. The unit didn’t even have salt and pepper or hand soap in the kitchen. Overall, the start up amenities were poor quality and service was poor as well. All of these issues were Benchmark Management problems. We loved the location of the unit, updates to the unit, and proximity to the pool and beach access. I hope the unit owner has access to this review, as they are paying for quality management that just wasn’t there.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback Andrea. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to discover that the bedding for the sofa bed and Murphy bed was not available on your first night. We regret the delay in delivering the linens and are sorry that the initial delivery was incomplete. We recognize how disruptive this was to your family's vacation, and we appreciate your patience while our team worked to fulfill your requests. We are also sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the Murphy bed, the starter supplies, and the household amenities. Our properties are stocked with a starter kit of essentials intended to help guests upon arrival. The contents of this starter kit are outlined in each of our property listings and guest information so guests can adequately prepare for the remainder of their stay. We understand, however, that the supplies provided may not have met your expectations and will share your feedback with the team. Regarding the Murphy bed, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention in your review. Had this maintenance issue been brought to our attention during the stay, we would have happily offered our assistance. We have since shared your comments with the appropriate team so the bed can be inspected. Your feedback is invaluable, and it helps us identify opportunities to improve both our service and the guest experience. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location of the unit, its updates, and the convenient access to the pool and beach. We appreciate your honest feedback and thank you for choosing to stay with us. Warm Regards, Benchmark Management

Location is great. Management responded promptly to our multiple concerns. Would recommend someplace for renters to store non perishable food items and about a third of the patio has things either left or stored there so non-usable space. We did have to sweep the porch before we could sit out there.

Great Getaway for Two

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely beautiful condo! One bedroom, ocean front with great views. Décor was done with great thought. Insets in pantry, bathroom and closet made easy way to put your personal items on the shelf and out of the way. The patio was so comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen has all updated appliances and love the selection of coffeemakers too. The condo and surroundings were very well taken care of and even the beach was nice and clean. No worries of trash or peoples pets leaving their deposits. You can rent bikes right across the street and I also thought that the traffic when crossing the street was very pedestrian friendly. The management was very helpful if you had any questions. This condo would be great for two people or even if you had young children. I do want to add that the pictures of condo are accurate.

The only complaint I have is that you could tell the floors weren’t cleaned and the tables by the couch were very dusty. Also, the doors were extremely hard to open/close and the blinds barely did anything due to many of them missing and not closing all the way. Even with this issue we will still be back!

Reviewer Comments: took two 15 year old grandchildren for their first experience on the gulf. They had to sleep on the floor the whole week, because the sofa that was advertised as pull out, didn't pull out anything. Very dissappointed that have to pay $3000 for unit and have to sleep on floor. Otherwise the unit was fine. We have used Benchmark a lot in the past with great results, this was the first time we got a dud condo.

Hi Janina, We thank you for choosing to stay with us many times here along 30A! We sincerely apologize that this stay was not up to your usual expectations with us. We did send someone to assist you all with properly pulling out the sofa sleeper, but since it wasn't quite large enough for your grandchildren, she returned with an air mattress to help comfortably accommodate them. We're glad you enjoyed the rest of the unit and the beautiful Emerald Coast views from the patio! We hope to have you all back soon for a thoroughly enjoyable family vacation.

There was a family of rats skittering around outside coming and going from the left side of the grassy area. This made me suspect of every sound I heard inside. The view was awesome - just difficult to enjoy when every sound made you jump. Some texts were not responded to: parking pass and code to the gate to get to the beach. Had to go out the sliding doors; therefore leaving unit unsecured.

The only complaint I have is that you could tell the floors weren’t cleaned and the tables by the couch were very dusty. Also, the doors were extremely hard to open/close and the blinds barely did anything due to many of them missing and not closing all the way. Even with this issue we will still be back!

Hi Freda, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Benchmark Management. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your vacation. We do sincerely apologize for the internet issue you experienced during your stay. Unfortunately, during busier times there is a lot of stress on the networks. We cannot control the strength of the signal and our choice of internet companies in the area is limited. We do sincerely apologize, as we would be happy to improve that if we could have. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Love this place!

I have stayed at Emerald Hill 1 several times, and I love it. It’s comfortable, in a great location, and spacious for a one-bedroom condo. The only suggestion I have is to put some grab bars in the bathroom to make getting in and out of the tub a great deal safer.
