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: The best part was being able to reserve beach chairs and umbrella with no hassle of having to pack our own. It saved so much time & being able to walk straight down to the beach was a plus. Location is great & the place is spotless.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: One bedroom gulf front condo that was comfortable but could use a little TLC. The mattress in the bedroom was uncomfortable and could be replaced. The light in the kitchen was broken and needs to be fixed. The curtain on one of the windows was hanging on by a screw and almost falling off.

Nice
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 no problem accessing the condo using the code. Everything was very clean and smelled nice. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked great on a hot Florida day. If you want to make a pot of coffee, make sure you bring your own filters. They had plenty of dishes and glasses. There was some unfinished drywall in the bedroom/bathroom area that made it feel a little ghetto. The TV in loving room worked great. I just logged into streaming apps on my phone and mirrored it to the TV. The TV in the bedroom would not allow this feature. The view of the beach was blocked by the ramp leading out. On a positive note, the location was great, parking was easy, and the EXTREMELY easy access to the beach. Chairs and an umbrella are available on the beach, but I would rather use my own chairs and tent for shade. Overall, I’d probably stay again.

Poor communication/management
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The door code we were given was incorrect. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a member of the team getting the correct code to let our family in when we arrived. Upon arrival, WiFi and TV did not function. Notified management multiple times and this was never resolved. The location was beautiful and access to the beach was great. If the management team would be more “on top” of problems that occurred this would have been an excellent stay.

Peaceful, easy getaway!
We arrived to find easy parking right next to our room. We did have to call to get a new door code when we arrived, but it was an easy process. We found the room exceptionally clean! We loved the patio overlooking the water and the close proximity to the beach. The stairs to scale down to the beach are a bit steep— I can imagine littles and folk with bad knees may struggle. It’s because of the dunes. We absolutely loved that it came with seasonal beach chairs and an umbrella so we didn’t have to drag our stuff up and down. If your room has comp chairs (which this one does), then it is first come first serve to get a pair of chairs/umbrella. We had no issue with this as we loved getting to the beach early (7-8AM) to start our day. You can “claim” by placing towels and such on the chairs. If there are pink name tags on back, those are paid for by other guests without comp rooms I’m assuming. I do wish the back sliding door (which leads to patio then directly to boardwalk) could be locked from the outside. We did not want to leave the room unlocked so we had to go around the front and side to get to the board walk. Honestly not a big deal, but could be a good addition. A few minor cons: no salt/pepper, only 1 roll of toilet paper, big curtains that cover the beautiful glass sliding door are kind of hard to pull. You’ll want them shut at night for privacy. Just a short drive to shops/food! I would not say this is walkable to much, but could be bikable!

Great location, perfect size for a couple
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean, small but perfect for two adults. Location is great, lots of up and down to the beach, buts that’s about everywhere on 30A. No concerns with the unit itself whatsoever. We did have some confusion on the entry code, as we were sent one to use IF we arrived early. We did not arrive early, yet the original code did not function as it should have. That could have been done differently I think. We were a little discouraged to learn the “complimentary chairs and table” actually did not include the table, and meant first come first serve. So, 630 or 7 am found us trekking down the stairs to “claim” chairs with our towels. A little confusion also where the tv is concerned. A Roku remote implied to us Netflix and Hulu possibly were available, but we just could not make it happen. Maybe a note with instructions? Finally, we had maintenance guys on our patio doing work for several hours on one afternoon. It would have been nice to know in advance if our patio would be unavailable to us at any time during our stay. Overall tho— the place was very nice. Updated, comfortable bed, plenty of towels, and a great view.

Great spot on the Emerald Coast
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 had a great stay at this little condo on the beach. It provided a quiet spot on the coast for relaxing and taking walks, as well as easy access to other areas along the coast for exploring, hiking, and enjoying local farmer's markets, fish markets and local restaurants, as well as convenient access for groceries. I found it thoughtfully equipped, clean and comfortable, with a tasteful beach vibe!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was not our first choice. We were moved here due to construction at our original choice. The location is great- we love being beachfront and within biking distance of Rosemary and Alys Beach. If I’m being honest, the condo is OK. The view of the beach from the balcony is obstructed by the walkway. We love to watch the waves while having coffee and you can’t see the waves from this unit. The bed was not comfortable and the floors throughout the unit feel like a sticker, rather than real vinyl. We also thought from the description of this condo that we would have beach chairs included but upon arriving and asking about it, they were not since we came outside of the warm weather season. The fridge is also very small. Otherwise, we enjoyed our trip. We won’t stay in this condo again and likely won’t use Benchmark again - very late notice on the condo we chose being unavailable. But again, this location is wonderful and we did enjoy our vacation very much. Also - props on having games! We played scrabble and Jenga and had a great time with that.

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: This was a short trip we added and found this retreat with beach access. It was a nice spot, well equipped, easy in ( first floor) and out ( boardwalk right to the water). A few daily needs were met with kindness and promptness. The bed in the main room is a queen, it was comfortable but may need updating in the future. There was also a pull out couch but we didn’t use it. If you love sunsets, this is your spot .

Lovely condo and beach
This unit is on the first floor. There is a very short flight of stairs to the first floor with parking in front of the unit. This made loading and loading very easy. This property is conveniently located on 30A close to restaurants and shopping. Evenings were quiet without the noise of traffic or rowdy groups. The bed was very comfortable, and the air conditioning kept the temperatures in an excellent range. The patio is also a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Condo was nicely decorated and clean, boardwalk to beach came right up to back patio but people with bad knees need to be aware of how many steps there are on the boardwalk to beach (3 flights), beach was great and chairs and umbrella were setup and ready for us, housekeeping needs to leave access to essentials (such as toilet paper- there was only ONE roll available), traffic in and out is very congested during certain times of the day, there were bicycles there but we didn't use them, drove thru Rosemary Beach which had nice shady areas, shopping, and places to eat.

Great trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This unit was in an ideal location, very clean, quiet and the view was spectacular. The only downfall about this place is that it is located right next door to a public beach. There was not coded gate to keep those individuals out of the Mistral property and they were going back and forth which was scary. They were parking on 30A and using the Mistral as their beach entrance. Other than this concern we had a great stay.

Overall great stay
Overall we loved our week on the beach. It was so nice to go up and down to the beach within steps. We loved the beach chairs/umbrella came with setup and having breakfast on the porch with ocean view each morning. There aren’t a lot of restaurants nearby, but Alys beach is a must see. The only drawbacks was the bed. I’m not particularly picking on this, but the mattress was terrible both my husband and I woke up with sore backs each day. Management please get a new mattress. Also, keep in mind you only get ONE roll of toilet paper for the week and 2 dishwasher pods/laundry. You might want to bring extra. We would love to come back if they can update this couple minor things.

It was convenient to not have to walk up lots of stairs to access the room as well as the being able to access the beach from the deck. The only thing that was a bit disappointing for us was that the TV was all streaming so not a lot of options if you don’t already have streaming accounts. Netflix and LiveTV (which wasn’t really live) was provided. Others, your in your own.

Great space
This was for two people. It was very clean and well furnished. We did not use the kitchen, but looked like it had all the necessities. I forgot to bring coffee and did not have a car. It’s at least a mile to a place for coffee. We had rented bikes and the path along 30A was flat and easy to ride on. A car would have been easier to get around as there are not restaurants or shops very close. The beach is beautiful and clean and right down a deck if stars. Beautiful view from the living room. We were there mid-November so it was very quiet. But I could see where the back deck area could be very busy with people walking by since it’s located next to the walkway where others make their way to the beach. Overall we recommend this unit.
