Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was perfect for our crew.Be prepared to walk 3 indoorflights, as there’s 3 different levels. Sand is an issue, you’re at the beach. Try to ignore it. Ha!There were cosmetic things that were wrong, but I messaged management and they assured it would be addressed after we departed. Plenty of beach toys/chairs on back patio below. No need to bring any!

Family Beach Stay

Overall this is a wonderful property. Our family very much enjoyed it. My only feedback is that the bottom floor patio and exit to the beach was messy and had several broken items scattered around.

Do not stay here . Safety issues persistent throughout the stay and the management company did nothing to help us. Benchmark management is terrible. We had issues with doors not locking completely and an electric shock from wires hanging from behind the cabinet in the kitchen. Safety is not their concern. Doors not locking wherever there is water and strangers could walk on in. The wires hanging down and could electrocute someone. The grill that was promised was completely rusted and broken. The upstairs bathroom has broken tile on the floor and it feels like it could collapse. I had nothing but issues and every time I reached out they said they would fix the problems and nobody ever came by to help. We were promised a great getaway and had nothing but worries and safety problems.

We loved the access to the beach and pool was amazing. Loved the ocean view

Loved the access to beach and great pool. Only wish the outdoor furniture was better quality and more comfortable because sitting on balconies was very important to our family. It needs to be upgraded and replaced. Comfortable beds and kitchen was well equipped. Definitely would consider staying here again.

Kicking off the Summer with the Family

We really enjoyed our stay in Santa Rosa. The location was fabulous!! Right on the beach and close walking distance to shops and Restaurants. This unit met our family needs perfectly! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the balconies had lovely furniture with plenty of comfortable seating. The balconies were our favorites spots to drink coffee and eat breakfast and dinner. The pups absolutely LOVED being with us vacation!! They loved the breeze blowing their ears, lol. Comfortable beds, great AC, comfortable living room room furniture, everything was great!!

Great Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Check-in was easy. The location and property was great! We enjoyed our stay and there was plenty of room for our family. The only negative was that when we arrived, there was sand in all the bedsheets. I'm not sure if the sheets were changed, or if there is a problem with the washer/dryer and it isn't getting the sheets clean all the way. We had to wash all the linens. I would evaluate the cleaning crew/company you are using. Also, the ceiling fan on the 1st floor needs to be cleaned. The bathrooms were all great and it has a great kitchen! We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Spot

The stay was lovely, the only complaint I do have is that there was not a broom or dust pan or anything to help us keep the sand at a minimum. It’s the beach, there will be sand, obviously. But not having a broom to keep after it seems a little odd to me. The property management company was not super helpful when I reached out asking if maybe it accidentally got locked into a cleaning closet. Aside from that, it was as advertised just well lived in and loved. Which is okay by me. Area is great, pool was great, beach was great. Overall a wonderful experience. I’d come back, just with my own broom and dust pan! Enjoy your stays here. Very safe with kiddos.

Views

Views of the beach were wonderful. Someone reported it wasn’t clean for them but we found it clean. Being on the end of the building means more windows which was nice on cool days. Between the rows of buildings is a nice green space A note for those not familiar with the Emerald Coast: dogs need a permit for the beach and only property owners can get a permit. Gulf place was an easy walk for restaurants. Another note: on the stairs the top and bottom risers are different. Not a big deal but you need to be careful.

Great location, but issues with this unit

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, but unit needs work. Pots and pans were in very poor condition with some rusted. Wood on deck by shower was warped causing possible injury. Bottom level had roaches as well. Upon arrival we had no key fob for the pool area. Benchmark kept saying they were bringing us replacements, but never delivered our whole stay.
