Fine Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from this condo is spectacular. The access to the beach - just walking out the sliding glass doors and down to the beach - is superb. The condo was reasonably clean and well equipped. The pool was well maintained. I did have to reboot the Internet modem and the WiFi router to clear up WiFi issues. Benchmark management was responsive in suggesting I do so. All in all, we had a great time here.

Dunne Villas 5A

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Great location! Access to the beach is hard to beat. Accomodations were comfortable, bathroom is due for a reno but overall very comfortable. Biggest problem is tile floor throughout with no carpet runners! Wet feet, sunscreen & moisture from the ocean makes for a very slippery floor! Kids slipped multiple times

We loved our time at Dunes Villa. The condo was super clean, had everything we needed and right on the beach. The property manager was super easy to communicate with and checked on us a couple of times during our stay. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing location but in poor condition

The location couldn't have been better but there was considerable wood rot/mold in the bathroom. It wrapped from behind the toilet and in front of the tile shower. The bottom foot of the bathroom door was also clearly rotted. For the price we payed to stay for a week I would've expected it to have been repaired. The property management company also stated that several items would be included in our stay (dish soap, hand soap, etc) but we realize after our trip to the grocery that they hadn't been. Overall, we had a good experience but would not rent this property again.

The bed was comfortable and having a view of the ocean and the boardwalk a few feet away was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again! We walked to Seaside for lunch and back. It’s only a mile and a half to seaside from Dune Villas.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this unit! The view from the condo is amazing! Access to the beach could not be easier. Many restaurants close by as well as Publix and Tom Thumb. Only suggestion would be to have a place to rinse feet directly at top of stairway. Would definitely stay here again.

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: Have stayed at this unit many times - location is wonderful. But the condition of the unit this time was so disappointing! Mold, mildew, dirty pillows, dirty furniture, a hole in the living room wall and bugs - including ants, silverfish and roaches! Would want some reassurance next stay that these things have been remedied.

Roaches Beware

This unit is infested with roaches and should not be rented. I wish we had known prior to booking as once they have your money, it's your issue to deal with.

Close to the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is walking distance to the beach which was the best part. If you don't mind staying with roaches of all sizes, a bathroom that is filthy and needs a deep cleaning (and remodel), utility closet door full of dust, black mold in and around the shower, water dripping from the bathroom exhaust fan and the smoke detector that alarms in the middle of the night-this place is for you. When I called about the roaches and the water leaking from the exhaust fan, no apology was given, just "call back in an hour if it gets worse". Such poor customer service for the unsanitary conditions we endured and way overpriced rental. This place has great potential but needs better bug maintenance and a major DEEP CLEANING! Having an in house dryer was a plus.

Wanted to love it

To start the property was in the best location! It is close to Seaside and is situated directly on the beach. Could not have asked for more. We drove 5 hours to get to the property and could not access the property due to the door code not working. We called the property management company and they kindly walked us through and the door code still did not work. We tried the old door code and it finally worked. Not a deal breaker but when you have two hungry, tired children, getting access to the unit when you arrive on time is critical. We finally gain access and unload our bags and as we begin to get ready to head down to the beach my wife needs to use the restroom, the only restroom in the unit, and the ceiling is dripping water onto the toilet and puddling in the bathroom. The drip continues the rest of the afternoon getting worse in the evening. My family could not use the bathroom without someone else holding a trash can over their head to catch water. Real nice stuff. The property management sent a young man out to drain the AC unit above thinking it would help. It did not. I called after-hours to get a plumber out and finally, the drip(s) were stopped around 2 AM. In addition to the water leak on our head, the unit had visible black mold on the kitchen and bathroom AC vents. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire ceiling had mold in it. Also, roaches made frequent visits to us during the nighttime hours. After it was all said and done Benchmark management offered us 10% off our next stay with them. Insulting at most, 10% wouldn't eliminate Santa Rosa Beach Taxes. Will never stay with a Benchmark property again.

Beautiful and Convenient Location!

Can hear the ocean in your living room! Beautiful views, great amenities and amazing convenience to the beach. Only 35 stairs down! Parking is very tight though if you drive a big truck! Would definitely come back!
