Reviewer Comments:
First of all, let’s go over the positives. The location is PERFECT! On hwy 30A in Seagrove, you are just far enough away from the hubbub of Seaside but close enough walk there anytime (about a mile). This unit is gulf front lower level on a private beach. You are literally steps from the beach and if you throw open the large sliding glass doors you can hear the beautiful sound of waves all day. It’s so nice to be able to come back to the condo to grab food or a bathroom break. The beach is fantastic for walking. Benchmark (booking agency) handled the booking splendidly; it was ease from start to finish. All correspondence from them was timely and clear. On arrival parking was easy, and the unit was ready and very clean inside. We found the kitchen well stocked and there were plenty of towels and linens. We needed hangers and they brought them over quickly. The floor plan is very nice, with kitchen, dining and living space all together with the ocean in view. We received a credit from Vacazen which enabled us to have bikes delivered to us and we only had to pay $20. We used the bikes daily to go to shopping and out to eat, and everything is so close. That was an added bonus! Now for the negatives....you are greeted with the worst possible doorway. Dark, with dingy walls (mold/mildew stains?)and an old door. If they could just paint the wall it would be improved! Our hearts sank when we realized this was our unit. It was so awful. And someone desperately needs to come and take a look at the furnishings.

Our thought was that they probably have no problem renting it so they don’t bother. We will definitely look for a nicer place next time we come. Now that we have established that we love the area/beach so much there are plent
