Great view - frustrating experience

I gave it 3 stars because of the view, but without the view I would give it 2 stars. I had to go back and forth with the management company every day I was there. First, issues with the AC but figured that out on my own. We also had no wifi our entire stay and only one TV worked. The front door self close mechanism fell off as well. I needed wifi for work and did not have any access the whole stay. Every day engaged to get things working as intended. We left earlier than planned. Again - the view was great.

Worst Property Mgmt Company we’ve ever worked with!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had to call and argue consistently for 4 days in order to get a response to two simple problems. It was cold during our stay. We simply needed 3 blankets for our three bedroom condo. The thin coverlets on the bed were inadequate. Management was unresponsive and argumentative each time we called. We slept in our coats for four nights until after numerous calls 3 blankets were delivered. The WIFI never worked. More calls, more arguing and finally a cheesy battery operated router that didn’t work was delivered. We no longer wanted to waste our vacation time on the phone and bought our own router and installed it ourselves. Montery C301 is a high end rental. This management company prefers to argue rather than resolve.Massively dissatisfied

Not Great

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures make it look good but everything is cheap IKEA. Lots of little things broken. Beds are very uncomfortable. Management company is difficult to work with. The number they provided does not work. Porch was filthy with grime. Beds are VERY uncomfortable. Description said large pool. It is small to medium at best. No sidewalk to walk to restaurants. They would not let us in 30 minutes before check in time. Also no refund for having to evacuate for Helene when we had to miss 3 days of the trip.

We had a question regarding beach chair service and it was answered promptly. Location is perfect as it minutes from so many great restaurants as well as the grocery store. This was our second year staying at this condo and have enjoyed both stays!

Could be so much better!

The property and location are beautiful. Communication was good for check in and check out. We were very disappointed upon arrival and the longer we were there. The middle bathroom tub did not drain & there was no liner so water went all around the bathroom when someone showered. Dangerous and very annoying. The queen sized bedroom mattress is broke and sinks into the middle. There was one trash bag, 3 rolls of toilet paper and the utensils in the kitchen were dirty from (hopefully) the last renters- really the bare minimum. The house was filled with bugs when we arrived as I assume the cleaners may have left a door open? We had gnats and flies with us. We loved the location but for the cost of the condo we could not justify coming back, just have higher expectations for this area and for rentals in general!

A winner at Monterey Condos on E30A

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Have stayed at Monterey Condos several times. Gulf front location is excellent! The owner of this particular unit (C301) has upgraded each of the bathrooms. The master bathtub and shower upgrade is substantial.Other upgrades as well! Unit could use other upgrades from rental "wear and tear" such as cushions and pillows on furniture. In summary, one of the better units at Monterey!

A beautiful unit with a LONG punch list of maintenance items.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very 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: This was our fourth year of visiting the Monteray property. The first time renting this condo from Benchmark Properties. We stay for 4 weeks every year and love the property. But,have always used 30A Escapes.Dealing with a multitude of maintenance issues along with the fact that there is no weekly cleaning service available for long term rentals had a negative impact on our stay. When calling the management company we were left on hold then transferred to voicemail with a message saying that hanging up and calling back only delays a response. We left numerous messages taking away precious time from our Survivors and Thrivers time together. Our kitchen sink was leaking and it took a day and a half for a response. Our fireplace smelled like gas and the person who came to fix the sink turned off the pilot light and let us know we shouldn't use the fireplace anyway. Our internet was out for a day and a half causing us to lose one full day of use of our condo. We had to find a coffee shop in order to conduct business on a very rainy day. Many of the maintenance issues we experienced were mentioned in previous reviews from 2023 guests. All with a response that it would be taken care of by the management company. Our feet were black from the old worn dirty area rugs. No hangers in the closets so we had to purchase our own hangers. Cleaning supplies enough for our 4 week stay were not available. We had to purchase our cleaning supplies in order to keep the floor and bathrooms clean. There is a very thin blanket on each bed. We called for additional blankets and had to purchase our own. Lights on the balcony hanging by a wire and don't work. Master bathroom door sticks open and can't be closed. There is no chest of drawers in the master and nowhere to put folded clothing. All of these items were mentioned in reviews by previous renters. Some of the stovetop burners didn't work and the blender shot sparks out the bottom when we tried to use it. Dissapointe

Great property, great location! The view from the condo is amazing. Property was very clean upon arrival. Patio furniture was great, loved the tall table. Upgraded bathrooms were great!

Vacation Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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 view and location were excellent. The condo was decorated very tastefully and was lovely with the exception of no chest of drawers or dresser in primary suite. There were no directions on how to operate the tv which took us considerable time to figure out. That would be extremely helpful, if directions were provided. Only major complaint were the cleanliness of the floors. They appeared clean, but our feet turned black from walking on them and when we wiped a spill up on the kitchen floor, the paper towel was black. We did enjoy the balcony although cushions in the outdoor chairs would have been appreciated.

Property is one we would definitely stay in again & will hope it is available next time we come to visit the beach. My only recommendation would be a dresser in the master bedroom the small one row of drawers was really not enough space for folding clothes but we made it work & would do so again😊

We took a girls trip and the condo was perfect. Great location right on the beach. The condo was clean and cool. Had one small issue but the communication with the rental company was great and they addressed it immediately. The location of the condo is perfect... minutes away from great shopping and restaurants. We're already planning our trip for next year!

Anniversary Stay

The Unit location is amazing. Having the Gulf right there was outstanding. It was clean when we arrived except a few glasses were put away dirty. Would love if the Outside Lights on the Balcony worked. Didn't find out until the last day that the owners of the Unit purchased chairs and umbrella for 2. The worst experiance was with Vacayzen and out Bike rental. $250 Credit is a waste and they were terrible. No bikes delivered upon arrival, didn't come until the next day late in the afternnoon and they left two of the oldest crappies bikes! We will rent this Unit again, will not us that credit for Vacayzen!!
