Bijou by the Sea

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bijou by the Sea is a nice, clean property that is very close to the beach (easy walking distance on sidewalks less than two blocks). We stayed 2a, 2k (6/8 yo) and felt it was tight for kids who needed an indoor break during the heat of the day. If two singles it would be good. Pictures are accurate, just smaller than it looks.

Very Cute and Clean

We loved our stay at Bijou by the sea. It was myself my husband and our daughter who turned 2 on our trip! The house was perfect and we loved it! It was a bit of a walk to the beach so we ended up taking an uber since we had the toddler but if it had just been my husband and I it would not have been bad. Very close to shopping and great places to eat. We really enjoyed our stay!

Bijou by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Bijou by the Sea is a fantastic place to get away. The home is perfect for a small family or two couples. The backyard is an oasis and a quiet place to unwind underneath the pergola after a day on the beach. Bijou is tucked back in a quiet area of Seagrove Beach and is just a short bike ride away from the Seaside square. If you are looking for a couple or family getaway, Bijou is a no brainer.

2 for 1

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been vacationing in Seagrove for around 20+ years. I normally rent a condo, but this time I decid3d to rent a home. This home is exceptional and has everything you would ever need. I will state this, the silverware drawer is definitely lacking and needs attention, as there were only about 4 pieces...if that many of the normally used eating utensils-I didn’t alert Benchmark as it was only me. I do think the kitchen area regarding dishes, etc should be addressed - as the glasses appear to need replacing-outdated. My one complaint is this - which was brought to the attention of Benchmark regarding trash pick up. According to the instructions on the information in the house, pick up is Tuesday/Thursday - I think. The trash was never picked up even though I called to make them aware. One last thing, if you arrive late - after dark, it’s extremely difficult to find the house as there isn’t much light no in the area.Overall, the stay was a very pleasant one. Oh yes, a few last things: the gas grill needs atttention - I didn’t use because I am not going to light a grill using matches. Again I didn’t address this since there is a very nice gas stove/oven in the house.Also, there needs to be specific instructions on h9w to use or which remotes to use for the tv.I would definitely rent here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved this place it was the perfect little house for a weekend getaway. Updated with a short walk to the beach. It is too dark to walk to Seaside at night but doable during the day. The beds was very comfortable and can sleep 2 people each room no problem.

Perfect Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Staying at Bijou was the perfect getaway for my husband and myself. It was the coziest little cottage and a short walk or bike ride to beach and Seaside where most restaurants are. It was tucked back in a quiet little street where we felt some privacy. The house itself was beautiful and had everything we needed. We can’t wait to go back.

Charming Cottage!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This was the first trip my husband and I have made since Covid started. We’ve been very careful, so having this cute little spot was perfect for us. It had great amenities (especially the amazing tub and shower!), and it was a super close walk to the beach. We could still be distanced but have a great time. I highly recommend the space, and we would definitely rent again!

Thanksgiving 2020

Neighbor house under construction (incl. a pool under construction in very close proximity to back porch with no safety warnings or barricade, would be an issue with very young children), had builders there everyday incl. Thanksgiving day (expect loud music being played by builders laborers all day long). The cottage itself is very nice and we enjoyed it very much, well appointed and close enough to everything. Communication rated poorly as I reached out to owner/property manager via VRBO app and still waiting for a returned message (6 days later).
