Wonderful time here!!!

Our stay here was absolutely amazing, and just what we needed. The property had everything we needed. This was on the ground floor, had a patio, and a staircase down to the beach. The bed was comfy. The kitchen had everything you would need if you wanted to cook a full meal. I appreciated that there was a washer and dryer, and they included a laundry pod or two for us to use. It was a quick drive to a supermarket and restaurants. The beach was stunningly beautiful!! We look forward to staying here again. The host was easy to contact if needed.

Outstanding Condo on the Beach

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: Our condo stay was breathtaking. Once you open the door and walk into the living room area, you can see the Gulf! It’s outstanding. Condo was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We even had beach chairs, umbrella and a small table and this was very nice. There was full kitchen, bunkers and bathroom, all nice. We brought extra toilet paper because they leave only one and we ran out by next to last day. They do make it clear that you have to buy or bring your own in case you run out. We had a little bit of wifi troubles but not bad. We were on our honeymoon and we had beautiful memories. We are from East Tennessee, not Seattle Washington as it says.

Great but did not get response to issues

this was advertised as 2 bdrm. It was not. and the only compensation was $250. Not addequate as far as I'm concerned. Then the dryer was broken and no one seemed to care. We had repair man out; he left with no note. Had to call; they said it was broken but never fixed it or compensated us for that either. Screws falling out of chairs at dinner table. We sent a list of concerns that were never addressed. We go to 30A all the time. I understand stuff happens. But to not address it correctly, is not cool. This property was expensive

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: The condo was perfect, in a great location! My husband and I were thrilled with how not crowded the beach was. I read several reviews and a lot were stating the bed was super uncomfortable I just chalked that up to people being dramatic. Come to find out....the bed is super uncomfortable, but we survived. I will say if I stay in this complex again I will be looking at other condos within only because ours was the only one that didn’t include beach service. Seriously we asked all our neighbors and whatever company they booked through included the chairs. We have slowly been making our way down the beach from Miramar due to crowds and I will saw we were very pleased with this location.

VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS STAY

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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: I will begin by saying the inside unit itself was perfect. We were not unhappy with the condo. It is beautiful, & the outside building rehab will be great when complete. We would recommend the condo itself. This is a management company review for this timeframe. We received an email 2 weeks before checkin saying there were "repairs to the balcony and we wouldn't be able to use the sliding door". Upon thinking about it for a few days, this was a huge disappointment as we use the patio A LOT. I called & was told someone would go take pictures & she asked for 24 hrs. I waited 3 days & finally called back. NO ANSWER except "well do you want to cancel"? NO. We already planned our trip. At the very least we should receive a discount of some sort. I was told she would check with management and would call me back. NO CALL. We arrived to find FULL CONSTRUCTION going on the outside of the building. Scaffolding, tools on the boardwalk, plastic across patios, concrete grinding, electrical cords, dumpster in the parking lot. One night we couldn't park in our assigned spot due to construction vehicles. NO ACCESS to the beach from the front of our unit, and we had to keep the curtains closed because there were workers on our patio. I sent an email during our stay listing the items that were problems. TWO DAYS laters we received an email saying that "Emerald Hill" told them it was just patio repair. THIS UNIT IS NOT IN EMERALD HILL. They offered a 5% discount on a future stay--which is not even close to what should have been done. I called and left a message when we returned home asking for a manager to call me back. No one has ever called. There are 20 units in this complex. The only 2 that were occupied by nonowners were Benchmark unit, one of which was because a different unit elsewhere had been double booked. No one should have paid for staying there during construction. 5% is not acceptable, especially for a future stay. We will not return to Benchmark.

Fall at 30A

We love the ground floor and the beautiful ocean front view. Watching the sunset from the patio was amazing. The kitchen and family room were both spacious and had nice decor. The bedroom was tight but we are always glad to have a king size bed - which was also very comfortable. Also it should be noted that there a lot of steps to get down to the beach which is common for the area.

Good stay!

We love staying at the Blue Tide. First time in this unit and would rent again. This rental was very well stocked and had everything you need including books and games for the kids. Very comfortable bed!! Wish they would include the beach chairs and umbrella with the unit though. Can’t beat the view and being right on the water.

I’ll come back but hope customer service will be better...

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this rental before. You cannot beat the location, walking down to the beach. The size is good for our family of four. I like that they moved the bunk beds from the living room to the hallway because it is darker in the hall and now there is more space in the living room. With updates like that, I was surprised they ignored a few other simple fixes like new caulk around the bathroom sink. BUT I would be able to ignore the small things that need attention if the rest of our experience was better. We checked in Saturday at 4pm. I immediately saw that the comforter on the king bed was dirty - visible dirt spots in two places and a red stain from juice or a popsicle. Also, the kids took a bath and the tub was barely draining. I texted management that evening and got a text back that they were not in the office. I texted again Sunday, same response. I called and left a voicemail once and another time got an answering service who could not contact management. By Sunday evening, the tub was full of 3 inches of dirty water that would not drain. It took 4 texts, a voicemail, and multiple calls for someone to finally respond. The maintenance guy did not get there until early afternoon on Monday. A new blanket was brought that evening, after sleeping without one. With people checking in on Saturday, there has to be someone that can be contacted when problems arise over the weekend. This was not our experience when we stayed in 2021.. Additionally, the condo was not as clean as it should have been and we killed a quarter-sized roach on the floor. Included chair service would be nice with the rise in price to rent this condo.. many of the other condos in this unit include chairs and an umbrella. I hope things get better before we come to stay again. If future comments are similar to mine, we will rent a different unit next time.

Beautiful View

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: We had a lovely time during out stay in 6A. The beach there is absolutely amazing and has the best sunsets! The unit has easy access to the beach and was comfortable. It has some wear from different guests but that is to be expected. It was also very clean! My young kids loved the bunk beds and cubbies built in. There are also adequate towels and blankets, necessities, etc. An area of improvement would be the outdoor area. The plastic chairs and table are on their last legs and not comfortable. It would be helpful to know that there is a beach service (and kayaks & paddleboards) offered during the busy season called 'Other Mamas'. They were great! If you bring your own kayak or rent elsewhere, you have to lug it up and down 50 steps. Overall, we had a very nice stay here! Benchmark was great at communication and sent us all we needed ahead of time.

Blue Tide 6A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely love Bluetide! It is a hidden gem amongst the other rentals on 30A. I will say we were highly disappointed in the cleanliness of the 6A unit overall. The place needed a deep cleaning. There was food crusted to the table, the bathroom was dirty, and the entire floor of the unit was filthy. The unit was nicely decorated and the beach access was perfect. Some of the furniture outside was broken so we were unable to sit out there as a family and enjoy the view. One other thing is that most of the units at Bluetide have beach service, but 6A did not. On top of our already expensive stay, this was an extra $200 for us for the week. 6A should definitely invest in the beach service for their guests. I will return to Bluetide, but I won’t stay at 6A again without the beach service included.

I won’t stay here again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This review is hard to write because the inside of condo 6A is good, but Blue Tide itself is why we won’t stay here again. The exterior is old, dirty, rotten boards, cracked paint, dirty patios, weeds everywhere instead of grass, just dirty and old. The entire exterior needs a major overhaul. The interior of Condo 6A is nice and clean. Our only issue was the shower doesn’t drain properly and backs up. Benchmark management was great and I’m sure would have sent someone to fix it if we had asked. I just don’t like maintenance crews coming in after we’ve already checked in and gotten settled. But the shower drain needs to be fixed, and floors need to be mopped. Other than that we enjoyed 6A. But won’t stay at Blue Tide again.

Awesome location but not so great sleep

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Condo was in an excellent location, loved the beach right out the back door. Updated nicely and clean unit. Exterior of Blue Tide is rather old and worn out decking and stairs to the beach. Could use paint lighting and landscaping. If you have a bad back or neck and need a firm mattress this currently is not the condo for you. We sunk so bad in the master bed we had to sleep on the lumpy sofa couch with the bunk bed mattresses for added support. Benchmark is awesome and came out to check on us but it’s the owners not wanting to buy a new mattress. Saw and killed few roaches in condo and around the exterior.

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: I was pleasantly surprised with our recent stay at Blue Tide 6A. As soon as we opened up the front door you could smell cleanliness. It was freshly cleaned and the towels were neatly folded in the bathroom. I was amazed at how clean it was. Honestly we've stayed along 30A and never found one this clean. Please give the cleaning crew a bonus! I was very happy. No clogged drains, there was a broom and dust pan and even a small hand vacuum under the sink for sand. The decor was outstanding. Simple but very tasteful. I hope others take good care of this unit because I want to stay here again and love the private beach! The beach service was out standing! So kind and reasonable. The only complaint I would have is , there is no separate dryer for clothes. It's all in one. So it takes FOREVER to do a load. That is the only piff I have. Of course the cook ware could be better, but in any condo it's all to be expected when you have people that don't take care of things. I get it. The staff we dealt with from benchmark was so nice to deal with as well. I want to use them in the future as well. The pool was in good shape and the over all property. I don't have anything bad to say. Everyone we've told it's been nothing but good things. We tell everyone what a good experience we had staying here and would recommend it again for sure . Thank you so much
