Reviewer Comments:
I did not want to leave a negative review but the experience was not ideal.First- the condo was very nice and very clean internally when we arrived. However, the inability to check in until 4 was a challenge when it appeared to be empty and ready well before 4pm. The noise and the concrete dust were barely tolerable. Men were painting and working right outside of our room the entire stay. At one point, I opened my door and they were painting the outside of the door, the area above the door etc which caused me to get paint on myself coming and going since we were not expecting this while we were using the unit. I received a text from Benchmark on the day we arrived saying "there was construction in the area and to be aware of it".  That was false. The entire condo was under construction, and we would have had no way to know until we arrived. There was a mess outside our room daily and we were woken up early each day due to the noise. This was less than ideal or relaxing. I honestly would expect to be forewarned and would have greatly appreciated a heads up in advance. I stay in Fort Walton and Destin every Summer with my family and have never experienced this. I attempted to reach out to the company to voice these concerns via email more than once with no response back of any kind. So unfortunately, I am leaving the review here in hopes of helping others.
