Our stay in this home was wonderful and provided everything we needed. Benchmark management was communicative and ensured we had smooth check-in and check-out. Would absolutely stay here again. Convenient to Gulf Place shopping and restaurants, super short walk to the beach access. Even the neighbors were friendly!

Thank you so much, Jim! We're glad the home had everything you needed and that check-in and check-out went smoothly. Being close to Gulf Place's shops and restaurants and a short walk from the beach access really makes this spot easy to enjoy, and it's great to hear the neighbors made you feel welcome too. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Love the location

This was our second time staying in this neighborhood and we love it. It is close to shops, restaurants and, most importantly, the beach. The house is definitely in need of some updating, especially the carpet on the stairs. However, it was clean and met our needs. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

If you don't mind the roaches

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Breakaway is located in a small community of vacation rentals just steps away from the beach (no golf cart needed). The home has several balconies for you to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine in the evening. Inside there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms & laundry on the first floor. The living room, kitchen and third bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. The kitchen has all basic appliances, dishes & utensils. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and it's location. The only reason we probably would not return is because the house was infested with roaches. They were literally everywhere. The house also was not clean when we arrived. The staff was responsive when we contacted them, but they blew off our concerns regarding the roaches.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
Stephanie, We are glad you were able to appreciate the great amenities and location that the Breakaway home offers! We have all of our properties sprayed quarterly, and as needed. When a guest reports a bug sighting as you did, we offer to have a pest service come spray to quickly take care of that. This offer was denied by you since persons in your party had allergies. We would have happily had our cleaners come back to properly assess any missed areas of the home as well had we been made aware. We do our best to provide a clean, welcoming home for guests to check into for vacation and are willing to resolve any issues that are not addressed before check-in, in the event this occurs. We would like to welcome you back to Breakaway in the future for the opportunity to provide your family with a much better beach vacation! Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect for beach proximity and seafood market within walking distance. Early morning risers would enjoy this rental most due to lots of sunlight and second floor footsteps were often overheard. The game cabinet, on-site laundry and huge pantry were fabulous. Community pool was never crowded. Perfect rental for those who like to eat at home and want quiet, beautiful beach access.

Incredible stay!

We loved this rental. It was truly such a short walk to the beach access. The home was clean, well laid out and worked perfectly for our little family of 4. We cooked in and grilled the majority of the trip and the kitchen was well stocked for this. Management was quick to respond to our minor inquiries. All around incredible experience. We will be back!

Spring Break 2021

The home has a great location. We booked this particular house because of the description of the beds. I wouldn’t call the beds “premium”. I was expecting a sleep number bed or the equivalent. I was sorely disappointed. I would stay in an updated house the same neighborhood next time.

Hi Mindy, Thank you for your feedback, I am very sorry to hear the beds were not up to standard for you. I will pass this on to the owners.

Location only

This property is in a good location but could use a little attention. A new TV upstairs would be a small but worthy investment along with a mess wifi system. Otherwise the wifi barely works downstairs. We had to call maintenace to fix the dryer (this is the first time I haven’t left a vacation with clean laundry) and to help with the upstairs cable. Simple instruction and which remote to use would go along way. Investing in a new tv for a couple of hundred bucks would also help. Maintenace was very professional and came right away. I would have preferred not to have met them. We came for a long weekend.

We will certainly pass your feedback to the appropriate parties. I am happy to report the washer and dryer are working! Wifi is touchy in our area as unavoidable outages can occur from time to time. I am glad our maintenance team was able to provide support and were professional and respond in a timely manner. We do hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a 5 star experience.

Last Minute Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: After Schools decided to change the start date last minute, we jumped on the only chance for a vaca this year. First off, the area was great as we didn't have to wear a mask 24x7!! The house could stand to be updated or at least freshened up a bit but we didn't mind. All of the appliances worked and the one call we made about the AC was addressed same day within hours. The instructions for entry, check in/check out were clear. The walk to the beach is very short and traveling to amenities is very very convenient.

There were plenty of beds for our group of 7-9 people and they were very comfortable. The maintenance was great. We had trouble getting a remote to work (our fault) and needed help with A/C. Jack was there in less than 30 minutes both times and was very helpful and friendly! Though I hate to give any negative info I do want to share this for another large group that might be like mine. There really was not a place for everyone to sit together other than at the dining table and couch.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Breakaway and had a wonderful time. Upon our arrival, the code to unlock the door would not work but Benchmark quickly fixed the problem. My only complaints were the lack of essentials in the house. There was one washcloth and no dustpan. The broom was miniature sized such that even at only 5'4, I could barely use it. I would still recommend the house and would return, but some slight improvements, considering it sleeps 11, would really make this property even more enjoyable.
