Reviewer Comments:
We had a good week. The property is odd, having no front door. One can enter through the garage or one of two (not at all obvious side doors.). We didn’t have the gate code to enter the property, had to call to obtain it. So, we spent some time just trying to get in. The building itself isn’t very welcoming, as you have to go through a narrow, fairly dark, hallway and/or garage to get in. Elevator warning states it will malfunction if you keep it paused over two minutes, and it will not be repaired until Monday. Location, Gulf-front was excellent. Kitchen had no cabinet or pantry space to store food, so we had a countertop full of pantry items for the week. The messy look wasn’t our favorite. Kitchen did have plentiful utensils, pans, serving dishes. The layout of the kitchen was odd, with the refrigerator doors blocking folks from walking in. Large balcony offers great Gulf view. Bathrooms were clean, but drain in tub was clogged; despite reporting this on day 2 of our stay, it remained clogged for the whole week.Overall, location is the big plus. Benchmark Management uses a call center to answer phone calls; we didn’t not have gate code or entry instructions prior to arrival. Request for repair was ignored.
