Great location, steps away from the beach! It looked like it is slowly being renovated- which is great but there are still several areas that need improvement. The parking is great, the area is very quiet!

The property has a million dollar view and it is nicely decorated. Access to the beach is fabulous. You don’t really have to leave the property if you don’t want to! The cons would be the bed on the first floor was not comfortable, the lack of kitchen towels and a potholder. It would be great to have welcome instructions as well. All in all it was a great stay.

The location of this condo is great! The condo itself was comfortable but could use some TLC! The mattresses and bed pillows in all the bedrooms could use a refresh.

Please note that if these issues, such as the cookware or the sliding door, had been brought to our attention during your stay, our team would have gladly delivered additional cookware or sent a maintenance technician to address the door promptly. While we regret not being able to address these concerns during your stay, we appreciate you bringing them to our attention and assure you that we are working to resolve them to prevent future occurrences.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Nine 5.
The rental process was easy- getting in the door this year was a challenge. The management company wasn’t answering the phone and we had to drive to their office to get help getting into the condo. This delayed our beach time by an hour. The maintenance man was terrific and fixed the problem for us. Overall a fairly positive experience.
Last year we had no problems at all.Maybe they were just having an off day.

We come to BlueNine5 for the past two years and there have been zero upgrades. The outdoor grill is a watery working mess and should be thrown away, the dryer only works on one cycle and the dishwasher only works occasionally. The cleanliness of this unit has gotten bad. We arrived with no sheets on the master bed and stained toilets, coffee maker was dirty and laying torn apart in the kitchen, sand on the floors. The balcony had a broken umbrella and toys strewn around and sand everywhere! Never have we seen this unit this bad. It was so dirty we ended up buying sheets to lay down her the couch because it was just nasty. Do better or lower the rates. We continue to stay here because of the wonderful neighbors we have made friends with.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your most recent stay fell short of expectations, especially given your history of returning to the property. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
We take your concerns seriously and are already working with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to address the cleanliness issues and ensure the grill, dryer, and dishwasher are thoroughly inspected and repaired or replaced as needed. Your comments about the condition of the balcony and lack of preparedness in the master bedroom are especially concerning and will be reviewed closely with the team to ensure this is corrected moving forward.
We sincerely appreciate your continued stays and are glad you have made lasting connections in the community. Please know that your feedback has not gone unheard and that we are committed to making the necessary improvements to restore the quality and comfort you expect.

Working with Benchmark Management was a good experience. Communication via email and text was encouraged with timely response. The unit was clean and available prior to the promised time. Recently updated, comfortable furniture and all necessary accessories for the kitchen were available. The electric Weber Grill worked better than expected! No issues with A/C, Plumbing, or other mechanical items. We loved the ease of access to the Beach (no gates, no codes, no obstructed views)! All common areas were well maintained. Only areas of concern: 2 of the deck chairs were unusable; sliding glass doors were difficult to operate (an $8 can of WD40 made a HUGE difference). We would certainly stay at this location again.

Traveled for a "back to school" weekend with my two young daughters and my sister. Since dad wouldn't be coming along to help carry everything I wanted to stay as close to the sand (and the front door) as possible. This unit delivers on both. Parking directly at the front door couldn't have been easier. We were also able to walk straight out the back door and down the deck onto the beach. This being a single level unit surrounded by private homes made the beach super quiet.
There were a couple things that were interesting about the property and would give me a touch of hesitation to book again. The first being no way to lock the back door once you went out to the beach. The glass sliding back door could only be locked from the inside. This was a little strange to me, as when you left for the day on the beach you just had to hope nobody wandered into your unit. The second is the arrangement of the back porch. All 9 units share a common back porch. This made it quite loud in the evenings when other people staying there were still up partying well past midnight. It also created a lack of privacy. When we came inside for the evening, we felt like we had to close the curtains so all of the neighbors weren't peering in. I also felt like I was sharing my coffee with all the neighbors every morning.
Overall, even though the unit is a little more dated than I have come to expect on 30A, I would recommend it family groups who are traveling together and could book more than one unit.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at Blue Nine for what is probably decades by now. The beach is private and you can always find a large spot on the water. We bring all our food so we don't eat out. The steps down to the water will need a total overhaul soon, but other than that everything is great. These units are not new, but they are well kept. There was no plastic drinkware in this unit (other than 2 sippy cups) - but lots of fancy drink glasses.

JoAnn,
Thank you for staying with us at Blue Nine for another great beachside stay! We're glad you agree that these units are well kept, as they are some of our favorite here on 30A with the grand community deck, with private sheltered areas of patio behind every unit. We will share your concerns about the boardwalk as well with the proper teams to get that looked at! Guest safety is a top priority and we certainly want to be sure everything is as safe and welcoming as can be for you. We look forward to seeing you again!
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management
