Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best week and will be returning. The first day we arrived we realized the WiFi wasn’t working, it was a Sunday and after hours, but the next morning first thing someone came and fixed it. They were very professional and we will come back. It’s the perfect location and close to the beach and pool which was great since we have kids.

Great location and beach access!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect location! Very close and easy access to beach! Would recommend to a friend. The only thing I wished were better was the bed/mattress/pillows. The bed is old and sunken in the middle. The pillows were flat, and sheets slid all around. Other than that no complaints. Will definitely stay again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: It was a small unit, but perfect size for my husband and I. It wasn't the cleanest and most up to date on the inside though. The location was great for pool access and 200 feet to the beach, which was great! It is very close to seaside, so a great location.

Beachside on budget

We truly loved the price and location to beach. I did not realize it was as small as it is but we managed that. The hot water had been turned off but my husband fixed that . However the water tasted strange and we didn’t drink it. There are some supplies, cookware missing from unit but it looks like maybe you’ll be renovating.

Small but works

We stayed for 4 nights with 2 adults, and 2 teens. The space worked out fine, it’s a good thing we all like one another, ha! Kitchen was great for making small quick meals, we brought our air fryer which worked out great. We were right outside the pool and a few steps to beach. Was nice and secluded, but everything you needed was in walking distance. For the most part it was clean, noticed dust on top of the fridge and other ledges. Overall, it worked and would stay there again.

Loved the area, but the unit itself needs some work

We love the area and that the condo is on the beach. The water and beach were perfect. But the unit needs some work. The floors felt sticky as soon as we opened the door, sheets were rough and didn’t stay on the bed throughout the night despite constantly fixing. The mattress dipped in the middle as well. And the dryer took 4 cycles to dry and we only bath washed towels. We would definitely stay in the area again but wouldn’t recommend this specific unit.

Unit 19 Emerald

Location was great .Emerald Hills Unit 19. Unit was a little dated. Bedspread was not new and fresh. The toilet was not flushing well and was extremely low. We had trouble finding the unit and then getting the key due to poor communication before we got there but we figured it out when we called the Benchmark office.. Outside the unit was not as clean as it should be in the garden outside our unit.

High price for unit with.. bugs..

This place would’ve been much better if the price wasn’t as steep. If you’re wanting to book this specific unit, do it through benchmark30a.com and save yourself some money — I didn’t know they had a direct booking site until I saw it advertised inside the unit itself.. This place would’ve been perfect for our needs really if there weren’t little bugs (literally little roach looking critters). But we didn’t feel comfortable cooking meals there bc they were mostly in the kitchen, no telling where all they have been crawling around. It was really disturbing. We would go to heat up food in the microwave and sometimes one would crawl in once you opened the door. Washing dishes/ loading the dishwasher, I had one crawling on the counter in front of me. I am going to reach out to the management company so they can address

Wedding Weekend

The property is in a great location. Very convenient to the pool and beach. The unit is an efficiency unit with a bed that folds up into the wall cabinet. Our only cleanliness issue was under the bed. The cleaning crew apparently did not know the bed folded up into the wall. So under the bed had not been cleaned in a while. We contacted management after 5pm upon check-in but received an answering service. We were frustrated that we could not get a cleaning service until the next day. The next morning Management took care of the cleaning underneath the bed. Otherwise, this unit was very nice for my wife and me to enjoy the weekend and attend a wedding.

Great area, decent room

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was wonderful but the room itself was just ok. The listing doesn't mention that the "main" door is the sliding door on the patio. Unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable and needs different sheets (they would come off the mattress every time we laid down). The studio was decently clean, but we did find bugs. I'd also suggest rearranging the furniture because it is hard to get around the room. Lastly, we only found out two days before our arrival that emerald hill would be closing the main and only boardwalk on the property. We had to walk to the road and around the fence to get to the public beach access which was very inconvenient especially since I am 7 months pregnant. Otherwise, it was a good stay.

Steps to beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Weather not good - tornado warnings, lots of rain & very windy so we were glad to be just steps from the beach so we could go down & back very easily when the sun broke out sporadically. Very satisfied with first-floor location, general condition,cleanliness. Difficult to reach property mgmt by phone- everything done through email/texting until we arrived then they were very easy to reach. I appreciated their checking in to make sure everything was good.The round outside patio table was broken on the top. Difficult to use oven as you can't fully extend the door because it's too close to refrigerator.The kitchen/bath supply bags were so useful! Would be helpful to have 2 beach 's very compact but works well for 2 persons for several days. I would find it difficult to stay here with more than 2 persons even kids. The free amenity tickets were not useful - we were not interested. Instead, we dodged the rain & thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Eden Gardens - would love 1 free admission there!

Unit 19 Needs a Facelift

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in several Emerald Hill studio properties and have always been extremely pleased with the location, amenities, and comfort of each unit. While the location cannot be beat, Unit 19 was rather disappointing in the upkeep and updating of several of the amenities we have grown to appreciate at Emerald Hills. For example, the coffee maker's light did not turn on and the "Off/On" or "Power" had worn off the buttons, so the only way to know it was on or off was to plug/unplug it. The bed had a dip right smack in the center, so my husband resorted to sleeping on the trundle, otherwise we would have both been in the center of the bed. The pillows were sadly no better with maybe two or three inches of life left in the stuffing. Fortunately we brought our own. We used our Costco toilet paper, but had to plunge after each use, because the toilet stopped up every time we flushed. On a positive note, the water pressure is great! There is no ice maker, which is not a deal breaker, but the ice cube trays were cheap and some had cracked. The worst part was not having a working clothes dryer. Years of built-up lint had clogged the vent, preventing the air from circulating and the lowering the humidity of the dryer. The dryer would heat up, but with the high humidity inside, the clothes would not dry. We found it faster to hang them on the furniture to air dry. Oh, the dish washer would randomly spit water out from the bottom!I did call Benchmark about the dryer and they were super friendly and the service technician was prompt, knowledgeable, and nice. He wasn't able to fix the dryer and took notice of the spitting dishwasher. We love the Emerald Hills properties and enjoy renting from Benchmark. The location is terrific, the people we meet are always friendly, the beach is gorgeous and not over crowded, and there are only three flights of stairs to navigate with all of your beach gear. We will stay here every time
