House was nice, comfortable bed, nice deck on top, location is great minutes from the beach, very short walk to shops/restaurants, pool very close. Would stay again!
This home was beautifully designed and with the layout across three floors, provided everyone enough space between two sets of grandparents, parents, and kid. The check-in and check-out process was easy. The proximity to the beach allowed a shirt and direct jaunt to the ocean, though the tram option was also nice to have for the grandparents. We had a lovely stay and plan to return!

The house was beautiful, clean, and very large - more than enough room for our party of 6. Conveniently located within walking distance of food, shops, ocean, and pool. Benchmark was great to rent from and highly recommend!
It should be noted that the designated Rosemary beach area for this property is very small. This was the only downside but a big deal for us. We ventured out to visit the many little beach towns along 30A and found a lot of gorgeous, spacious public beaches to visit instead.

We came for a girls weekend and the house was perfect. The location to everything was amazing. We walked to Alys Beach and downtown Rosemary with no problems. The only issue we had was lack of supplies. Coming for a weekend we didn’t want to have to buy extra toilet paper and garbage bags. We’ve never experienced that before. There were also no beach/pool towels and we were forced to use our bathroom towels. We didn’t go to the beach but we could only imagine how gross they would get.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing the house for your girls’ weekend! We are glad you enjoyed the location and overall stay.
We do want to mention that we highlight our Benchmark starter kit in every listing so guests can plan accordingly based on the length of their stay. Each guest receives an initial Benchmark signature box of amenities which includes, for the kitchen: 1 roll of paper towels, 1 dish sponge, 1 dish soap, 2 dishwasher pods, 1 pack of kitchen wipes, liners for each trashcan, plus 2 washing machine pods. For each bathroom, the kit includes: 1 roll of toilet paper, and a set of facial and bath soaps, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Towels provided are 1 body towel and 1 washcloth per guest, plus 2 hand towels per bathroom.
We appreciate your comments regarding beach and pool towels and will share this with our team for further consideration. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

My family of 4 and my two best friends’s families of 3 loved this house! All 3 main bedrooms had plenty of space. We did not feel crowded and were able to really enjoy the common area on the 2nd floor. Finally a house with plenty of seating!! The walk to the pool was easy & quick. We LOVED the location - close to shops, easy to grab food, and Starbucks. The tram came quickly when we called. Finally, it was super easy to communicate with the host. We hope to book this house again.

Nice home with a great location! Cold AC and fridge made things easy. Glad we were able to come in a day early which accommodated an early flight. Also great layout w 3 Kings for a larger family w kids bunk room. Downstairs King needs replacing as large divot in bed and turning made no difference. Made a request for sheets for the pullout sofa. No response. Would stay again as common areas were comfy. The kitchen was stocked w ample dinnerware and pots. We enjoyed cooking together. Upstairs balcony a big plus. Beach toys and games were nice. Close to everything. Would remind all guests to bring beach towels. We forgot!

The house appeared to have not been cleaned just straightened up. There were still things present from previous guests left out on counter. The floors throughout were so disgusting just walking barefoot from room to room our feet were black. My shower wasnt clean nor was the one on the 2nd floor. We didnt have sheets for the pullout. We only had 1 towel per guest which meant we were constantly having to wash our towels. We werent provided with any full supplies, we have a quarter of a paper towel roll and 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom and none were new, they were all about half used already. We were told there were 8 bikes only to find out it was only 4, the description also listed surround sound for music on deck upstairs but there were no instructions and no info to attempt to figure it out, the fridge wasnt cold, it took 2 days for our items to start getting cold.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay — that’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
Regarding the supplies, the listing does mention that we provide a starter kit that includes limited paper products, soaps, and towels to get guests through the first day or two. We apologize if that wasn’t clear or didn’t meet your expectations. We'll be sure to relay your comments to our housekeeping and operations teams to help improve future guest experiences.
We also appreciate you pointing out the concerns with cleanliness, the number of bikes, and the surround sound system. We're reviewing the listing and property details to ensure accuracy and clarity moving forward.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future.

We stayed here with two couple and two small children. The upstairs balcony is a wonderful place to hangout. The beach was only a 7 minute walk, much quicker than waiting on the tram. The pool was also only a 5 minute walk. We appreciated the bikes on the property and used the natural gas grill on the upstairs balcony. We were disappointed in the kitchen, it wasn’t stocked with cookware the way we wished it was. There was also only ceramic dishes. We would have loved some cheap plastic plates so we weren’t so concerned with breaking something with the kids. The other downside that we didn’t pay much attention to in the listing is the living room is on the 2nd floor. So no matter what bedroom you’re in, prepare to climb steps. May not be the best for someone with mobility issues.

Great Location, Poor Cleanliness
Location is WONDERFUL! Easy access to pool, beach, restaurants, and, shops. We loved the location.
Property management company was responsive throughout our stay and immediately addressed issues we first discovered.
The property was NOT clean and upkeep is not good. This includes: Black mold in showers, clogged sink (full of hair), 3rd floor grill that was covered with grease and food, 3rd floor deck area (kitchen area) that was covered in smoot, grease, and dirt. Third floor deck area that has dirt and black mold/smoot on the doors. The oven was not clean and had food particles and drippings inside (this cause the smoked alarm to go off when we attempted to use the oven). We found 3+ cockroaches during our stay and the main level (send floor) bathroom door could not be closed all the way and locked.
Property management company did clean oven, fixed the bathroom door, brushed down the grill, and unclogged the drain. This was appreciated however, the grill area was not cleaned. We cleaned this ourselves and documented with pictures.
The property has so much potential with a proper cleaning and upkeep as the location in second to none.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear that you loved the location and found the property management company responsive and helpful during your stay. However, we deeply apologize for the cleanliness and upkeep issues you encountered. We regret that these issues impacted your experience.
We appreciate you noting the efforts made by our team to address some of these problems during your stay. We will be taking immediate action to ensure a thorough cleaning and proper upkeep of the property to prevent these issues from recurring. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to making necessary improvements to provide a better experience for our guests. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future with an improved experience.
This property has the perfect location. It is one block off of 30A, meaning you have about a two minute walk to shops and restaurants, a 5 minute walk to the beach, and a 2 min walk to the pool. The location made our vacation so easy and enjoyable. There is a free tram available in the neighborhood but we didn’t have to use it because we were so close to everything. The Seacrest Beach community is charming and feels very safe. The kids loved riding around the neighborhood on the 4 bikes that came with the house.
The property had plenty of room for our two families of five. Everyone had their own space and it did not feel crowded. It was clean and looked just like the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook most meals at the property. There is a grill on the 3rd floor deck.
Check in/check out is a breeze. The management company was easy to communicate with and left clear instructions.
The only negative thing that I can say is the management company supplies very little extra in terms of household items like dish soap, Kleenex, laundry pods, etc. Be prepared to buy those things if you are staying longer than a day or two. Not at all a deal breaker, just something to be aware of.
We had the very best time and will definitely book again!

House was nice, comfortable bed, nice deck on top, location is great minutes from the beach, very short walk to shops/restaurants, pool very close. Would stay again!

First off I’d like to say the area was great. The house could use some work. The first night we got there I spilled a few drops of water on the ground and wiped it up. Seeing all the dirt on the napkin made me think that maybe the floor was dirty so I wiped a few other spots and found out the floor was disgusting. There was food everywhere and clearly hadn’t been cleaned a a very long time. With us having young children we couldn’t keep it like this. My wife and I spent the entire next morning mopping the three floors. furthermore, two of the King beds were completely uncomfortable and need to be replaced immediately. One was completely flat and felt like sleeping on a board. The other was as slanted in myWife’s side and appeared to be broken.

We had a great time staying in Royal Seaview. We traveled as three families with small children, and the layout worked great: two families stayed on the first floor (each with their own bathroom) and one on the top floor, with the kids in the bunk room on the middle floor. (The only downside was that every bathroom is connected to a bedroom, which can be tricky if you want to use a bathroom after the kids are asleep). The house was clean and as pictured. It was a pretty short walk to the beach, though we’d recommend reserving beach chairs because it was fast enough that lugging chair’s and other stuff down there got old (if you take a wagon, they make you carry it all the way down the stairs to the beach, which from a practical standpoint means carrying a wagon full of stuff down the stairs unless you want to make multiple trips up and down). The house is very close to the shops/restaurants in Seacrest, and a short walk to all the stuff in Rosemary Beach. The top deck was fun for hanging out and grilling. The property management company was quick to respond and fix an issue we had with one of the A/C units. Overall, was a fun place to stay.
