Very nice updated rental. Clean. Private beach access. Beach chair rental directly on the beach for the Palms, they only take cash out check. The view from A12 is amazing. All kitchen utensil clean and available. Benchmark only supplies limited bathroom tissue and towels. We read this on the listing so we were prepared with these things on our arrival which included bringing beach towels. They were very friendly and checked in multiple times during our stay to let us know they were available if we had any needs. Would stay here again and again!

If the view wasn’t phenomenal, the steps to the third floor wouldn’t be worth it. No elevator is the only drawback.

The only issues that need to be addressed is the plumbing. The kitchen faucet was just lukewarm - not ever hot and the guest bathroom faucet was the opposite - hot water but only a trickle of cold. Other than that - we enjoyed our stay.

We love this location, The Palms is where we always look first for a condo at Seagrove bc it is in the middle of everything. This condo was beautiful and the views were amazing! I do wish they would include 1 beach setup per day, we had to pay separate for this. $35 per day.

My mother and I stayed here for a few days last week. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay again, but on the ground level, as there not being an elevator was a little inconvenient. Other than the flights of stairs, the view was absolutely breath taking. We saw dolphins swimming every morning, and walked down to Cafe 30A for two of our four dinners. It's in a great location and Benchmark was quick to respond with any questions or issues we had. The beach was private and enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrellas. We will for sure be back soon.

We had a mildew and smell problem. It slowly improved by the last day. Dishwasher didn't work. Dryer lint trap is broken. Fan in master bath not working. Great location and overall the property is great. The unit was a disappointment and you only gave us $130 refund despite the horrible smell.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the issues you encountered during your stay, especially the mildew odor and maintenance concerns with the dishwasher, dryer lint trap, and master bath fan. While we are glad to hear the location met your expectations and that the smell improved by the end of your visit, we understand how these matters affected your experience.
Our team has already addressed the odor source, repaired the dryer lint trap, and scheduled service for the dishwasher and bathroom fan to ensure these do not impact future guests. We regret that the resolution we provided did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your input as it helps us improve both our communication and our properties.
Thank you again for your comments, and we hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future.

Overall a lovely place. Beautiful view. Location is great, easy bike-ride into Seaside. Management company is responsive, arrival & departure were easy processes. We had a few issues that they responded to quickly. Condo could use a few updates: bedding (awful pillows), kitchen. Suggestion: include beach gate passcode and instructions for the tv remotes. Floor could use a good cleaning.

Updated and clean as a whistle. Private beach. Perfect for parents with teens or capable toddlers. Third story, walk up. Bring your own cookware if you’re picky. Very comfortable. Any issues we had were minor, and Benchmark did a bang up job addressing them quickly and efficiently. Skip the Vacayzen rental deal and go local - they were a pain and ended up having to refund our money. The company contracted to provide beach chairs & umbrellas in front of The Palms is walk-up only and only take cash/checks ($200/week as of July 2023).

Absolutely loved the view and the look of the condo! It was just far enough from the chaos, but close enough to everything. I also absolutely loved the private beach access, which gave us space to lay out and relax. For improvements, here are the little things that would make it perfect. The vent in the bedroom had a shake in it every time the AC ran. I had to wear earplugs. The pillows were really cheap. Wish the pool was heated.Overall it was a great experience!!

We truly appreciate you sending your feedback in, as it helps is continue to become better for you and other guests! We will definitely make sure your suggestions are passed on to the team, so that they can be discussed. However, the HOA manages the pool and so we wouldn't be able to do much on getting it heated. We look forward to your return to the 30A area!

We loved the condo once we got a few hiccups resolved. Had some plumbing issues and weren’t happy with the cookware, but Benchmark was extremely helpful. They responded in a timely manner to all of our concerns. The description did say a keurig coffee maker was included and we were most disappointed when there wasn’t one. We made do with the regular coffee maker. The kitchen is ok, could use a little updating, but the view and location made up for it. Loved our time here. Bike rental voucher was a real plus.

Overall we had a fantastic vacation. Upon arrival at Palms 12A we had a number of issues. The screen door would not stay on tract, top shelf in dishwasher was broken, the Master Bedroom TV had no signal---also came with 4 remote! A guide as to use would have been helpful. Also main remote for channels had a number of keys that didn't work(no channel up). Also during our stay the keypad on the entry door malfunctioned and would not let us in. Benchmark maintenance came out and also could not even use their main code to open door. They changed batteries and "fixed" the lock only for it to malfunction 2 days later. Once again, Maintenance came out and ended up cutting us a key for use for the rest of our stay. Big Thank you to Bob, Jack and Randy for helping us out with all the issues.--Jack even gave us his private cell number if we had further issues with the keypad--which we ended up calling him.
