Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was one of our best vacations ever. Sitting out on the back patio drinking coffee on the porch with ocean view was awesome. Met another family which owns a unit there and they were absolutely lovely. Spent alot of time with them on the beach. Love the quaint secluded area with a private beach. Our family will definitely abe back next year!

Great location, Underwhelming space

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have stayed in this unit for a week. The location, pool access, and beach access are amazing. The unit's quality leaves a lot to be desired. The unit did not feel clean when we arrived. Some dishes were in the cabinets and were obviously dirty. There was hair throughout the unit, and the floors and baseboards were dusty and dirty. One toilet seat lid was broken, and one of the bedrooms is laid out in a way that makes it hard to open and close the door because a bed sticks out too far into the doorway. A lot could be done to make the experience amazing.

Would definitely return. Perfect location and beautiful beach. Overall the campus is beautiful and well maintained. Unit was clean, comfortable and homey. Only comment is none of the bedroom light switches seem to work but certainly not an issue. Full mattress in far bathroom might need to be flipped or replaced. Will definitely be recommending to friends. Enjoyed our sisters getaway!

Quiet retreat with amazing views!

This was a first time visit for us but the people at this place made you feel at home and were so friendly. The view was amazing. I have kids and it was so nice to be right by the stairs down to the beach. The condo was clean and comfortable for our family and really the whole visit was perfect. We had an issue with the disposal not working and they took care of it quickly and with no problems. I would highly recommend this place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: We loved staying here with access to the pool and the grassy area! My kids were able to go outside and wait for the pool or the beach rather than standing by the door. I wish we had known ahead of time that there were no beach towels and the TVs didn't all work. This was not a huge deal since they didn't watch tv often in the bedrooms.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are delighted to hear your family enjoyed the pool, the grassy area, and the easy access to the beach. We truly appreciate your feedback about the TVs and will make sure our team looks into that. Regarding beach towels, our listing does outline the amenities provided in the starter kit, and beach towels are not included We will work on making that clearer for future guests. We would love to host you again anytime! Warm Regards

Paradise!

We love Sand Cliffs. We hadn't stayed in this specific unit before, but we loved that it was right on the corner, close to the pool and with easy access to the beach. The only downside was the smaller, screened in porch. As well, our shower in the master bath seemed to drain slowly and the icemaker was broken. However, none of that compared to the beautiful beach, sugar sand, and awesome views.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review - we do appreciate all comments and suggestions! We have replaced the ice maker!! So sorry it did take some time to get parts ordered - we are also working on most of the drains for our units. Time to get this done after having such a busy summer season! Thank you for staying with us and we hope we can assist you with future travels!

You can not beat the location and view but unfortunately the actual condo has some work to do. Every single mattress and bed needs to be replaced. They were so worn that there was zero support and were actually slanted. When I laid in the master, my top half was sunken lower than my legs. Also, the bed frames were so noisy that you could hear when someone rolled over in the night from the other room. In one of the secondary rooms the bed didn’t fit so the door could not shut due to it being in the way. The living room furniture was equally just as bad. Very run down and smelled like body odor. Lastly, our dryer wasn’t working and a maintenance worker came to fix it but unfortunately it still never worked well. Had to dry a single load about 4 times before it would get dry. These are all things I would want to know before booking a place and felt it was important to share. Would consider staying again if updates were made.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed staying at Condo 117 for Fall break. The beds and furniture were comfortable with ample seating for our family of 5. We really enjoyed being on the ground level and easily could walk to the pool, beach or anywhere else on the property. The views of the ocean and grounds were absolutely gorgeous. The kitchen had everything we needed. Overall a very nice, clean place. My only feedback for improvement would be to have nicer, more comfortable outdoor patio seating as there were only two plastic andirondack chairs. Fortunately, we had beach chairs and used those but with such a nice condo and quality furniture inside, it would be good to match that with the exterior seating as well. Overall a wonderful stay. Thank you.

We truly do our best to maintain these properties but we do falter from time to time as such feedback like yours is extremely helpful as it gives us the chance to fix what is unsatisfactory with the unit.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2023
Hi Elizabeth, We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences faced during your rental experience with us. This unit was sold before your arrival and unfortunately, the new owners would not honor the reservations we had. Since your rental was the closest, we didn't have many options to choose from left open on our program. While we understand the frustration you all experienced, we do mention in our rental agreement that situations like this may arise as our properties are individually owned. In the event the rental becomes unavailable due to maintenance, owner usage, or in this case, the property selling, we do our best to place guests in a similar unit or otherwise provide a full refund of all monies we had received to that point. We are unable to provide additional compensation in these situations, but we do our best to help mend the situation and solve the problems that may arise with matters such as this. We hope that you'll give us the chance to welcome you again in hopes you can have your ideal vacation with us! Sincerely, Benchmark Management

From Monday thru Friday, beginning at 8:30am, we had to listen to drills, saws, hammers and everything involved with remodeling. You could hear the noice all the way down to the beach. The TV's were stuck on the Food Network and would not change channels. The carpet in the den is filthy and the closet are all clutterd with old pillows, blankets and outdated decor from the condo. Really a shame considering the condo has a great location......

William, We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your vacation experience provided by Benchmark. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay. When a condo association shares plans for surrounding units with us, our standard procedure is to immediately notify guests that may be affected. We apologize for the miscommunication as we were not made aware of the work being completed on the next door unit for your stay. We did not receive any communications regarding TV issues, or we would have been quick to send maintenance over to assist you! We are always here to help guests' vacation go the best it possibly can. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the location of the unit was fabulous and views were amazing but its in need of some TLC, as the unit is old (linens and carpets had stains, bathtubs had hair in them, and tile throughout was dirty, plus there was too much furniture in some rooms. Not to mention one of the guest rooms door didn't shut as furniture was too big for room, and TV didn't didn't work). Lastly, the rent a gear credit that comes with the unit does NOT include bikes. It was also disappointing that the beginning role of T-pee and paper towels were half used.

The grout in the tile floor is tan at the edges, but dark brown in the traffic areas. It really needs cleaning. The carpet and furniture in the living and dining area were soiled. The white vanities in the bathrooms are peeling paint. For the price of the rental, we felt it should be in better shape. We had an issue with the bathtub water not turning off, and the maintenance crew was quick to arrive and take care of it asap. We have stayed in other units in the complex that were much cleaner and well taken care of compared to this one. I would recommend this property to others with notice of the condition of the unit. It is nice to be able to walk to Rosemary and Seacrest areas. Construction in the roadway was a mess this week. Red Tide was an issue with coughing and dead fish washing up on the beach the last 3 days. We like to walk to George's to eat and to the Farmers Market on Sunday.

8/10 Good

Beautiful Location, Unit Lacking

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is beautiful but the unit needs a lot of updates and attention. Showers would drain extremely slow, toilet clogged, shower curtains are rusty and kept falling. Refrigerator was old and took a day to cool groceries. Furniture was very old and not comfortable. Location made it all worth it but would love to see a few updates made to enhance experience.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021

4/10 Poor

Unit 117 needs a deep clean

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. 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: We did enjoy our stay because of the great location with beach access and pool but the Unit 117 was dirty and the furnishings were all worn and need replacing. The price would be considered high because of the accomodations were so deteriorated and the Unit was as if it had not been cleaned except for the linens.

Could use some work.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Many lamps would not work. TV in horrible place for watching a movie, the news or anything. Not a comfortable seat in the den. Couch was ok but the two old chairs were atrociously uncomfortable. No place to sit and relax inside in the evening. The plastic Adirondack chairs on the porch were so low they were too uncomfortable as well. Glad we took our own folding chairs.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication

Beachfront

The condo was nice but not very clean & the furniture is worn. There is no screened in porch but the sliding glass door was heavy enough the 2 yr old couldn’t open it. When we arrived there were no instructions and the back door didn’t lock. We tried going to the office but no one was ever there so I messaged asking where to take the trash & that the door didn’t lock. The response I received was trash was by the tennis court (wrong), no response about the door. 5 days later I found the little stand with instructions in the back guest room (kid room). Despite the above the area was great. The beach area is kind of small but there weren’t many people on the beach. We will definitely be back.

Casie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad to hear that you still had a good time even with the issues you experienced. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication about the trash and door. Our condos do get a lot of wear and tear during the summer season but we would have been happy to have sent someone out to look over the cleaning. We are going to pass your concerns along to the correct department. We would love for you to give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation! Thank you, Benchmark Management.
