Fantastic Stay!

Only compliments about our stay, the updated renovation, and the included cookware. We brought our own beach chairs which was a good idea because the included beach chairs and umbrella are not available during the winter months due to the contracted beach-side service. The easy walk out access to the beach was wonderful for early morning walks on the beach. We would love to stay there again.

Not impressed

Arrived at 5:30 pm with door code in hand…didn’t work…called Benchmark, the rep. On duty was not familiar with property, kept referring to an incorrect address. Eventually door code was changed and I was able to get in. Benchmark did check back and I explained that the lock still. was not working on the first try they said they would investigate…three days later I checked out, lock was still an issue . Interior is very dated, lots of diy for your money just not worth it.

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: The best part was being able to reserve beach chairs and umbrella with no hassle of having to pack our own. It saved so much time & being able to walk straight down to the beach was a plus. Location is great & the place is spotless.

Comfortable gulf front condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: One bedroom gulf front condo that was comfortable but could use a little TLC. The mattress in the bedroom was uncomfortable and could be replaced. The light in the kitchen was broken and needs to be fixed. The curtain on one of the windows was hanging on by a screw and almost falling off.

Great spot on the Emerald Coast

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: I had a great stay at this little condo on the beach. It provided a quiet spot on the coast for relaxing and taking walks, as well as easy access to other areas along the coast for exploring, hiking, and enjoying local farmer's markets, fish markets and local restaurants, as well as convenient access for groceries. I found it thoughtfully equipped, clean and comfortable, with a tasteful beach vibe!

Great Stay

The location was wonderful and the condo was very nice and clean. My only recommendation would be to replace the sofa bed mattress to something more substantial. This one was exceptionally thin foam and you could feel the metal bars in your back. Other than that, wonderful stay!

Lovely condo and beach

This unit is on the first floor. There is a very short flight of stairs to the first floor with parking in front of the unit. This made loading and loading very easy. This property is conveniently located on 30A close to restaurants and shopping. Evenings were quiet without the noise of traffic or rowdy groups. The bed was very comfortable, and the air conditioning kept the temperatures in an excellent range. The patio is also a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Condo was nicely decorated and clean, boardwalk to beach came right up to back patio but people with bad knees need to be aware of how many steps there are on the boardwalk to beach (3 flights), beach was great and chairs and umbrella were setup and ready for us, housekeeping needs to leave access to essentials (such as toilet paper- there was only ONE roll available), traffic in and out is very congested during certain times of the day, there were bicycles there but we didn't use them, drove thru Rosemary Beach which had nice shady areas, shopping, and places to eat.

Quick get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: This was a short trip we added and found this retreat with beach access. It was a nice spot, well equipped, easy in ( first floor) and out ( boardwalk right to the water). A few daily needs were met with kindness and promptness. The bed in the main room is a queen, it was comfortable but may need updating in the future. There was also a pull out couch but we didn’t use it. If you love sunsets, this is your spot .

Mistral 1 - Bare Feet Retreat

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: Overall this was a great location and comfortable unit. The only drawback was being on the first floor and a walkway that went right past our bedroom window and also our living area patio doors. The view was also somewhat obstructed. That being said, there were the advantages of not having to walk up several stairs!

Great trip

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: This unit was in an ideal location, very clean, quiet and the view was spectacular. The only downfall about this place is that it is located right next door to a public beach. There was not coded gate to keep those individuals out of the Mistral property and they were going back and forth which was scary. They were parking on 30A and using the Mistral as their beach entrance. Other than this concern we had a great stay.

Poor communication/management

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The door code we were given was incorrect. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a member of the team getting the correct code to let our family in when we arrived. Upon arrival, WiFi and TV did not function. Notified management multiple times and this was never resolved. The location was beautiful and access to the beach was great. If the management team would be more “on top” of problems that occurred this would have been an excellent stay.

Overall great stay

Overall we loved our week on the beach. It was so nice to go up and down to the beach within steps. We loved the beach chairs/umbrella came with setup and having breakfast on the porch with ocean view each morning. There aren’t a lot of restaurants nearby, but Alys beach is a must see. The only drawbacks was the bed. I’m not particularly picking on this, but the mattress was terrible both my husband and I woke up with sore backs each day. Management please get a new mattress. Also, keep in mind you only get ONE roll of toilet paper for the week and 2 dishwasher pods/laundry. You might want to bring extra. We would love to come back if they can update this couple minor things.

Nice

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: We no problem accessing the condo using the code. Everything was very clean and smelled nice. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked great on a hot Florida day. If you want to make a pot of coffee, make sure you bring your own filters. They had plenty of dishes and glasses. There was some unfinished drywall in the bedroom/bathroom area that made it feel a little ghetto. The TV in loving room worked great. I just logged into streaming apps on my phone and mirrored it to the TV. The TV in the bedroom would not allow this feature. The view of the beach was blocked by the ramp leading out. On a positive note, the location was great, parking was easy, and the EXTREMELY easy access to the beach. Chairs and an umbrella are available on the beach, but I would rather use my own chairs and tent for shade. Overall, I’d probably stay again.
