Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful beachfront condo. Very clean, great views, quiet beach. However, for those with mobility issues, I suggest looking elsewhere. There are a significant amount of stairs for the walkover and there isn’t much in the way of restaurants, shops, etc. in the immediate vicinity. It’s about a mile, mile and a half in either direction. Communities to the east have a strict ban on golf carts and vehicle parking is limited. Beach service is contracted with Jake’s (at the time of this post), all other companies are prohibited to provide service. Benchmark did a poor job at communicating this and even promoted another vendor. Also, be sure to check on construction status before you book. We had crews start at 7am who were loud, smoking, and taking guests’ parking spots with their personal vehicles. The pool was closed for 3 days without notice and access to the beach and our vehicle were blocked for over half a day. And guests had to climb through dangerous construction debris and equipment to get to the dumpsters. Benchmark was quick to apologize but only pointed the finger at the HOA, and noted that they would use to our ruined vacation as a learning experience to prevent future occurrences.
