I love that I can take my dachshunds and they are so used to the place now they are very well behaved and love the people they meet.

My husband and I stayed with our dog. The place was fine and grounds and pool/hot tub were clean and well-maintained. Beautiful beach. The one aspect we did not like about the area overall was the “private beach” signs all over. Beaches are public property so I am not sure how they get away with this. It did not cause a problem for us, but it is annoying and elitist.

Overall experience was good. We had plenty of bathroom linens. The only two issues we had were the bed linens for the couch bed were twin so they did not fit. The other issue was the oven. We used the oven to cook a pizza. It smoked terribly from the time it heated up until long after we turned it off. In fact it probably still smells very smokey in the room now. I opened the oven to see what could be causing such smoke before the pizza was even put in. There appeared to be some old drippings of some sort in the bottom of the oven which caused a tremendous amount of smoke. We opened the balcony doors as well as the main entrance door to relieve the smoke.

The place was perfect for our needs and location was great. On night 3 we had an issue with the fridge letting out an obnoxious repetitive noise about two times every hour throughout the night that lasted 2-3 minutes each time. Told benchmark and said someone would check it out, I’m not sure if they came or not but the fridge continued with the noise through our last night. So we were pretty exhausted during the days from lack of sleep which is unfortunate as this was our babymoon and I was really looking forward to the rest.

Thank you for your review, and we are glad to hear that the place suited your needs and that you enjoyed the location. We sincerely apologize for the issue with the fridge and the inconvenience it caused during your stay, especially during such an important time as your babymoon. While our maintenance team attempted to address the problem, unfortunately, they were unable to fix it, and we now need to bring in a third-party appliance company to resolve the matter. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Short Stay
The condo is listed with a Santa Rosa Beach address, but it’s actually in Seagrove Beach, a 30+ minute drive on very crowded 30A to what the map shows as Santa Rosa Beach, where other family was staying.
The property had 3 issues which we tried to report to Benchmark Management, but their support line disconnected multiple times. One problem was with the fridge making a loud knocking noise randomly overnight, keeping us up. So we left and went to Santa Rosa Beach.
I requested a partial refund from Benchmark but that was denied both verbally and in email. I’ll take our future vacation plans elsewhere.

Thanks for staying with us at this property and for providing us with this review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Please note that the condo is indeed at Santa Rosa Beach.Please note also that we are available to assist guests via text, email, phone call or chat during our business hours of 8:30am -5:00pm. Our team is also excellent at returning calls. Should a call be missed or disconnected; we try returning the call or reaching out with a follow up message from our text line. We also have our after hours answering service that assist guests from 5pm until we re-open the following day. Our system does not show any attempts to make reports of issues prior to departure. We would have loved for the opportunity to be informed of what you found unsatisfactory as this would allow us to make the necessary checks, changes and repairs where applicable. However due to the fact that you chose to leave without allowing us a chance to address your concerns; a refund would not be issued in this case. We did however reach out to the relevant teams with the issues highlighted as such they should not be present for future stays.
We want to thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We do hope we can welcome you again soon for a much better vacation experience we know we can provide.

The condo wad clean, had everything we needed but could use some updates. Icemaker didn't work, there were ice trays. I called maintenance, they are aware but waiting for owner's approval to get repaired, they offered to bring a small icemaker but we used the Ice trays. Unit also had palmetto/roaches. We didn't see them until the last morning and then my husband killed three.
I've stayed in another unit at this property before. The location is AMAZING. The property is as described online. We arrived late at night and found NO bedding for the sofa bed. When I contacted the management company, they said it would be sometime the next day before they could get it out. I called the next day, after a miserable first night, and they did not respond. I called again because who wants to repeat a night with no bedding while on vacation, and they were very rude. They finally dropped off the bedding on the evening of the 2nd day of our stay. The bedding on the main bed was also not as pictured, but a twin-sized coverlet on a queen-sized bed. This is no fault of the owner, but a management company that seems not to have its customers first. Again, the unit is nice, mostly clean (some mold on the inner shower curtain, and old air filters stored under the bed). Overall, it is an affordable unit in a great location. I just wish the property managers were actually responsive.

Hi Kristen! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and found the unit to be mostly as described.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the missing bedding and the delay in our response. This is not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been, especially during a vacation. Your comments about the condition of the bedding and cleanliness issues (like the shower curtain and filters) have been noted, and we have already addressed them with our team to ensure this doesn't happen again.
We appreciate your honest review, as it helps us improve. We hope you will consider staying with us again so we can provide a much better experience.

Unit met our expectations Parking was somewhat confusing. Was not clear whether you could park in the covered parking and some folks with very large vehicles occupied two covered spaces. Dog friendly was appreciated since we have a 6 lb Chihuahua but the beach was NOT dog friendly and this was a big challenge for us because we did NOT want to leave her alone in the unit. We found the "Dog Beach" in Panama City Beach. The other disappointment was the elevator was under maintenance so we could not use when leaving which was a lot of steps and work from the second floor. If occupants are older, as we are, this was a challenge and exhausting. Seems timing of this maintenance could have been scheduled in a lower volume time than end of April. These were our only concerns.
