We came for Spring Break even though being warned away due to curfews and restricted beach access. We never had any issue and our group of boys found places to go after curfew to hang out. Our home was amazing and exactly as described. Communication from Benchmark was amazing.

Fabulous family house

The house was perfect for our family of five adults and one infant. We enjoyed the pool, screened in porch and top floor balcony. The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pans, etc. Location is perfect and the bikes were very comfortable and convenient to have. We also really liked having the tram available to load up our beach items and convenient beach drop off.

Good Vacation

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: The property was in good overall condition and well laid out. Benchmark communicated well, and we had no major issues we needed that weren’t a quick fix on our part. If I were making some suggestions to the owner it would be to replace the living room upholstery, and to update the wall color to something lighter and brighter. The current upholstery has seen it’s better days, and the room color is drab, and not “beachy”.

Great for our stay!

The house was nice and clean, and the property management was very responsive, especially in keeping us updated due to a hurricane and we delayed checking in until it passed. Seacrest was not effected by the storm. There are a few good-to-know details that aren’t listed in the description: the pool can only be heated starting in November, so keep that in mind if you’re visiting before then. Additionally, the house has two coffee pots—a Keurig and a drip option, which was a nice touch for coffee lovers. One small downside is that there’s a limited number of washcloths. If you’re traveling with a large group, you’ll either need to wash them frequently or bring extras. Overall, the house is in a fantastic location and was a great fit for our stay!

Reviewer Comments: We tried calling and using the live chat a few times for some maintenance issues, question on a coffee pot, and then where to pickup the security bands and tags and where to access the beach...When we did finally get responses the customer service person was not helpful or we didn’t get the information timely. The property itself was good, the mgmt. call support people were inadequate. Also the cleaning person had forgotten some cleaning supplies and ended up coming back in when we weren’t there to pick it up.

Just "Ok"

For 12 yrs we've stayed in Seacrest Beach at least once a year. NWe've stayed in a lot of homes there. I don't feel like the listing was necessarily inaccurate, but I don't feel like the house lived up to it. The biggest issue was internet. It has it, it just didn't work. We couldn't stream anything. My family & I watch movies at night when we're on vacation, & we couldn't. The worst part was that we didn't realize this until Sunday night when my son, who's in college, couldn't finish an online exam because of the internet connection. I left a message with the call center & the property manager called the next morning to apologize. She scheduled a maintenance guy to stop by. He came by later & texted me to say the'd need to have a tech from the internet provider stop by. The tech came on Wednesday, increased the signal outside & changed a cable. WiFi worked pretty good & we could stream on the TV. However, by the next morning the TV wouldn't stream again. We ended up plugging my laptop up to the TV to watch a few things, sometimes connecting to WiFi and sometimes using my phone's hotspot. For the amount of money charged & the fact that so many people work remotely, go to school online, etc., there's no reason for any of this to happen. I understand that things go wrong, & I understand that the management company can't do much to fix these issues, but stay on top of it! It was so frustrating. Another thing is that the kitchen has literally the basics - no frills.

We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we are sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. It's certainly frustrating when essential amenities, like a reliable internet connection, don't meet expectations, especially when they impact remote work or online schooling. When things like this happen, we have to depend on third party companies when we can not fix it ourselves. Your feedback is very valuable and crucial. We will definitely make sure the proper parties are aware. It's important for them to be aware of these concerns so that improvements can be made. While I understand that unforeseen technical issues can arise, your point about staying on top of the situation and providing timely resolutions is valid. We are sorry that this aspect of your stay fell short of expectations, and I appreciate your patience in dealing with the challenges. We do hope that you will consider staying with us again! Kind regards, Benchmark Management

Lifeguard Loop Rocks

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 rental company had excellent communication and responded quickly. The location was excellent, walking distance to shopping and restaurants. My only regret is that we didn’t book the house for two weeks. We would definitely recommend Lifeguard Loop, love having our own pool. We used our rental credit to get bikes, cornhole, beach chairs and an umbrella.
