Great
We really enjoyed our stay. We aren’t super picky so this place was amazing for us. I do feel like this property needs a little TLC compared to similar properties adjacent. The location, cleanliness, and management were great. I feel like they have listened to reviews. It does look like they are updating things as they need like the deck & oven. The garage was a plus & having bathrooms for each room was great. Parking isn’t great for any property on the entire street - not just this property. Just make sure to plan if you have more than 3 cars. Overall we would stay here again & really enjoyed it!

Did not disappoint!
We have been coming to PCB every year for over 10 years and have always stayed in a condo. So when we decided to try a house this year we were not sure what to expect. Let’s just say we were not disappointed. The house was clean and had tons of space! Deck looked like it was just replaced, the swim spa was a must to keep cool after the beach. However the jets did not work and no heat if you have a chilly night which was disappointing . It appeared the entire control panel had been removed. This should be noted in the description because the pics are deceiving. The bar across the street has live music every night and is definitely loud until about midnight so if you have little ones this may not be the place for you. But we enjoyed it and they had great food. Outdoor furniture needs updated especially since that is where we spent most of our time. Which brings me to the one complaint I do have…we had quite a bit of rain and the covered part of the deck on the main level leaked terribly. Everything we had out there was soaked. Even after the rain ended we couldn’t sit outside in the shade because it continued to drip (and not just a couple drops here and there it was a mess). The balcony above drained right through and continued to soak everything well after the rain dad stopped, including us!!. Definitely needs to be fixed. Overall we loved the house and would absolutely stay here again.

Enjoyed stay
Overall the house is lovely. The only complaints we have are the queen beds are very uncomfortable and noisy. Mainly the 3nd floor 2 queens they felt like all the springs in the mattress were gone it felt like sleeping “in a water bed” or deflating air mattress. You sunk into a hole. Also the only bathrooms are attached to the bedrooms if someone is staying in the downstairs room you will have to go to your room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Other than that the house was lovely very easy to get to the beach very short walk to the water off back deck. Home is in a great area lots of family’s and very close to any place you need to go. Great bar/restaurant across the street. Overall we would stay here again.

Great beach property
This property was perfect for us. The size was great for what we needed. We had 11 people total. I appreciated the fact that they texted me the door code and let me know the place was ready before 4 as we had just got to town. The plunge pool on the deck was a nice feature, especially for the kids. I would highly recommend this place. I have two rules when I research beach spots, as we come every year, 1.) must be on the beach and #2 not next to high rise condos. This place fit the bill perfectly. We also had a bar across the street which we enjoyed for a night of Karaoke. All in all a wonderful family beach vacation!

Loved our stay!
We loved the location, being right on the beach, the gorgeous ocean view, and the spacious home. Our group was four couples and a two-year old. Each bedroom having their own bathroom was great. The music from the Alibi Beach Lounge bar across the street can be loud at night, but the music is good and ends by 11 pm. And the food is pretty good. We did have an issue with bugs living in the dishwasher door, but they were pretty much concentrated in that area. We would definitely consider coming back again. The deck was rebuilt. The splash pool is not heated, but was warmed by the sun and was not cold at all.

Great beach access and Comfortable Spaces!!
Intergenerational family gathering 18 mo. to 80+. The walk and view of the beach was awesome for all!!! It was an early April week so we really wish the pool was heated. The kids would have used it a lot more. We had some cold and wind so we were grateful for the large table for games and meals. We also cook while we vacation and the kitchen needs some things replaced and augmented. There are not enough forks for the number of people the unit sleeps😳.

Beautiful view
Our family was very grateful to find a beach home with such a beautiful view. However, there began to be a few issues that could not be overlooked. I do understand there are certain insects that are more common in different environments. However, this home did not appear to have been treated prior to our stay. We were also looking forward to utilizing the Jacuzzi, but we had to find out from the people coming to treat it during our stay that it had been converted into a pool and was not a Jacuzzi anymore- major bummer as this was something we were looking forward too! There were a few other housekeeping. maintenance and upgrade concerns that we all felt should have been handled prior to someone occupying- especially since we booked so far in advance but overall the view was by far the most satisfying thing of this stay.

Needs Renovation
Do not be nervous about booking with Ben’s Beach Houses. The property management company is amazing!! This house though, not so much. It needs major repairs. The management company quickly moved us to a better place when we voiced our concerns, and our long weekend was saved! But do not book this particular house unless the listing says renovated! The best thing about this house is the view of the beach, but that doesn't really make up for everything else that is wrong….The deck is unsafe, the spa doesn’t work, and the entire house smells funny from what was probably water damage. It also all just seems older and dingy. The entertainment system actually fell on my husband (thankfully not one of our kids) when he barely knocked it trying to open a drawer. He’s ok, but that was the last straw for us. We had only been at the house a few hours and I knew we couldn’t stay there. But like I said earlier the management company heard our concerns and were amazing and moved us just down the street to a better property. We would never book this house again but we would 100% book with Ben’s Beach Houses again!

Fall vacation with friends
Check in easy. House huge with many stairs. Our Beagle was with us. Loved the deck was fenced and our pup was able to just lay out without a leash. The deck itself is a disaster waiting to happen but after we warned everyone we were all very careful. Disappointed that the jets in splash pool didnt work and that it was not heated. The picture is deceiving. I had asked the owner about the heat and he should have at that time also told me the jets were not active. The listing should specifically say that although there are jets in the picture they dont work and its not heated. The garage could use a code on the outside to make it easier to get in and out. The house itself was very nice and enjoyed the stay. Love the location on the east end. Much quieter and less congested. Loved that it was pet friendly. Had a small problem with a few bugs in the kitchen but i bought spray and let the owner know when we left and he apologized. I would rent from this owner again if he had a smaller house beachfront.

Good experience
We were changed to a different unit due to maintenance issues. They told us a day before we left. We had 10 adults. These units are laid out very well for large groups. PM was helpful during this location change. Great beach! You are across the street from the Alibi bar. Music is loud at night. But we loved getting bloody Mary’s and bringing back to condo since it was 50 ft away.

More pluses than minuses
Location was great, family enjoyed every minute. First time vacationing in September in 9 years, loved it , plan on going next September also. The house accommodated everyone very nicely, although some of the appliances need to be updated, the stove is probably be here since it was built in 2003. The cleaners do not do a great job the dust was at least 1inch think on bed room side lamps. Overall still a great vacation. John gover

Great location, great house
Was worried about plunge pool not being big enough but it ended up being perfect. Adults would float in there, sometimes 5 at a time, after a long day at the beach. The kids, 9,7, & 4 loved it too. The center was as deep as our 4y/o granddaughters forehead. We loved the bar across the street. Their music was great and we had no issue with it at night. This place was close to everything and important for my family was the big fridge in garage for the spirits. Left indoor fridge for all the food. Only complaint was that deck needs to be redone. Super foot splinter casualty, but we muddled through it. Supposedly it’s being redone after busy season. Beach was not scolding hot and was perfect. Every family within my kids families, had their own room/bathroom. Enjoy

Great rental!
Nice home, right on the beach. Something’s are dated but everything works as it should. We had a wonderful time and the plunge pool was a life saver due to the double red flags all week! The bar across the road was pretty loud in the evenings with the live music but we managed! Overall I recommend this rental for large group that’s not wanting to spend an arm and a leg to be right on the water with a pool.
