4BR Beachfront Home w/ Hot tub & Private neighborhood beach access!
Welcome to Salt Air and Sunsets, a beachfront retreat located in the exclusive gated community of Sunrise Beach in Santa Rosa Beach. This beautifully appointed home features four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests.

The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, full-size refrigerator with ice maker, and bar seating for two.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful home, extremely clean, wonderful view of the beach! Was great to sit at the kitchen island or on the deck with my morning coffee and watch the waves. The master bedroom private deck was great for reading, coffee, or a quick nap. The only thing about this place is that you should be aware that it comes with absolutely nothing but the basics in the kitchen...silverware, flatware, and cookware, yes...salt, pepper, even the right coffee filters, no. No beach toys (bucket, shovel, etc.), no beach towels, no puzzles or board games for the kids/family either. Would be amazing if one of the bedrooms had a set of twin beds.The proximity to town was great, could walk with the kids to Pecan Jacks for ice cream daily.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful home, the cleanliness, and especially the incredible beach views. It is wonderful that you were able to relax on the deck and kitchen island with your morning coffee and enjoy the master bedroom balcony as well as that sounds like the perfect beach getaway.
We also appreciate your helpful feedback. We are sorry for any inconvenience regarding the limited kitchen and household supplies. Your comments about items such as spices, coffee filters, beach toys, and family games are very useful, and we will be sure to share them with our team for review as we look for ways to enhance the guest experience.
Thank you as well for the suggestion about bedroom layout options as we understand how helpful twin bed configurations can be for families.
Most importantly, we are glad you enjoyed the convenient location and easy walk into town for treats like Pecan Jacks. We would love the opportunity to host you again for another relaxing stay by the beach!
Warm Regards,

Pros: Amazing location! Home is beautiful w/ gorgeous views of the private beach. We felt very safe here. The complimentary umbrella/chair was nice.Cons: 1) Hot tub was broken. Though it turned on, the temp never got hot leaving the water too cold to sit in. This was a big disappointment b/c we picked this house over another for the hot tub. 2) The dishwasher was broken. The buildup of mold on the bottom was gross, along with the smell. 3) The bathroom in the master bedroom has no door. Completely open to the bedroom, leaving no privacy for the toilet. Of Note: 1) The 4th bathroom is on the 1st floor where there is no bedroom. This means 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor share a bathroom. 2) There is no access to the garage leaving only 2 parking spots. 3) Slipcovers on the living room sofas are stained. For the price I expected better condition. 4) Each bathroom comes stocked with only 1 roll of toilet paper.Cleanliness: Dirt particles b/t sheets in the master bed. There was a plate in the kitchen cabinet that had crumbs on it. Since the dishwasher was broken we questioned the cleanliness of the dishes/glasses/utensils, hand washing everything before use. The kitchen counters/sink/stove and bathroom showers/sinks/toilets were clean.Benchmark was organized & quick to respond to texts/calls. They sent someone to look at the hot tub w/in a few hours of notifying them (that person couldn’t fix it). They also credited us a portion of what we paid b/c of the issues experienced.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Great location on the beach and walkable to many shops and restaurants. Unfortunately there were inconsistencies in the description of the home/amenities which were changed from the time we reserved to the time of our stay. When reserved,the home was described as 4 king bedrooms with ensuite baths. The only true ensuite bath (oddly with no door to the bathroom, including the toilet) is the primary suite. It is on the second floor(top floor) as are 2 of the other bdrms and 1 bath. The main floor has a bdrm and bath across the hall. The 4th bath is on the basement level. Other issues: 1. The dishwasher was not working-we suspect Benchmark knew this as no one came to look at it yet they said it needed a part. We would have rather not spent our vacation time washing dishes. 2. The hot tub did not get any hotter than 95 degrees. They sent someone to check it and said all was working fine, clearly it was not. We had the temp set to 100. 3. The description mentions expansive deck space and outdoor dining. The deck space is narrow next to the house, the hot tub takes up a good portion of the rest of the deck. There were two chairs and a bench seat, no table/chairs for dining. 4. The ceiling in the kitchen had a leak from the upstairs bath, the paint was peeling and water dripped on someone’s head. All our clothes ended up with a musty smell. Minor inconveniences, but still annoying.Overall a nice place and location but not quite as advertised and in need of some maintenance.
