Float Away was a good spot that met our needs! First off location. I was worried about being on the other side of 30A, but that was not an issue. The walk to the beach was short and simple - literally cross 30A and the walkover to the beach is right there (51 stair steps down to the sand). We have had a longer walk to the beach at past homes on the beach side of 30A, so proximity to the beach is good - and the beach was not too packed with people. Also, I like the location as it was close to The Hub, Alys & Rosemary, but not not as crowded as being in one of those higher density communities. Now, the house itself. First the beds were great. I appreciate a comfortable mattress in a rental and these beds were comfortable. The lower two floors were great, but you do have to know that the AC on the top floor is not ideal. In the summer, it simply was always 5-7 degrees warmer on the third floor. There were fans in the third floor room (as if it was a known issue) and the fans did help. The bathrooms were sufficient and just as they appear in the pics but not high-end or luxury. The kitchen was good and workable, but again it was not a high end kitchen. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and utensils, but would benefit from a refresh of pots and non-stick skillets. The kitchen's hidden gem was a very large pantry. I wish they would add a second refrigerator. A 4 bed house sleeping 8-10 people could really use another refrigerator. The house was very clean and in good repair. We did not have any issues. The pool was shared, and was a bit small. It was nice for a quick dip after the beach but not a place to spend lots of time. Not a show stopper, but worth mentioning if a pool is important. We had limited interaction with Benchmark, but they were helpful with the basics and it was nice to have a code for the door and to do a remote check in without keys. Overall I would return as we enjoyed Float Away.
