Nice place on the beach, convenient to shops and restaurants. We had a great stay! The only suggestions I would make is a ceiling fan on the balcony to stir a breeze when there isn’t one, and a caution about using 3 appliances at once in the kitchen (a circuit breaker was thrown and we had quite a hunt for the circuit box!)
Overall I give this place a thumbs up!

My family gathered for a small reunion and had a wonderful time. None of us had been to 30A for a stay and we found plenty of things to do in the near areas from pontoon boating in Destin to Crab Island to playing putt putt and going to Alys Beach for coffee and shopping. The water and sunsets were amazing. Our house was full of amenities and just right for our family. There were many things we didn’t get to do so a trip back is certainly on our list of things to do!

Reviewer Comments:
Rude management company. Have never dealt with such non accommodating rental company that will nickel and dime you.- House has an access door right next to it which leaves little to no privacy. Random strangers and people coming in and out walking on your deck area- Massive cockroaches in the kitchen area- Crumbs and sticky food still left over on the counter top from poor cleaning job- Fruit flies coming out from the sink and garbage can the whole time there- Workers were painting the property when we were there listening to loud vulgar music the whole time singing it out loud making the atmosphere uncomfortable- On top of strangers looking in your windows and walking across your deck area because of the access door literally right next to your unit, you also can't lock the door for when you want to go to the beach. Your options are leave the door open/unlocked because you can't get back inside unless you want 1 - 1.5 blocks down the road to the public access to walk back to the front of the house

Very lovely condo in a great location. Beach is beautiful. End unit is perfect. Benchmark Management is not great. VERY stingy on towels, no washcloths and told us no when we asked for more. Lots of texting during visit but reply number did not work and link to rebook was broken. Unit could be cleaner. They did not move anything when they vacuumed. Dusty and found trash under beds, under tables, and behind sofa.

Thank you for an easy, smooth process for staying here. We were a group of grad students who only had a few days off, so being right on the beach was absolutely amazing for us. Property was clean and updated!

If you are looking for a quiet getaway on 30A, this is the place to be. It was perfect for our family of five. There were not any high rises or public beach access in the immediate area so there was plenty of room to spread out on the beach. The unit is a little outdated, but it's still a very nice place to stay. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the outdoor area was really nice. We cannot wait to return again soon.

Location location location
Our stay was great! Right on the beach! A short walk down the stairs and toes were in the sand. It was 2 minute drive to “The Hub”, a great family hangout. The drives to rosemary beach’s me seaside were also pretty fast. Would not recommend a golf cart at this location just due to the only drive would be to the Hub, all others a vehicle would be a bettter choice

Choose for location & views only, not much else
I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but hopefully it will help people avoid or cause owner / property manager to realize it needs to do way more to have a competitive product. The views and location were awesome, but really it stopped there. It’s almost like this was purchased 20+ years ago and nothing changed since. A lot could have been avoided with property management, some with owner putting in some money. I left the following list with Benchmark when I checked out…
Wifi didn’t work
Cobwebs in corners of walls
Found moth in master bedding
Missing master window coverings completely
Mildew on master shower curtain
Kids room bathtub doesn’t drain well, also missing the drain plug
Master bedroom bed mattress have huge dips, hard to sleep
Master bed headboard not attached at all
Cable doesn’t work well in living room
Master toilet paper holder falling off wall
Master balcony screen door broken
Cracks in walls and ceilings

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first Florida vacation, and we wanted to stay on the beach. We loved that we had our own private beach, so finding a spot every day was not a problem. So we were extremely happy with the location.
We had some difficulties with getting into the unit the first day. There was an issue with the door and we had to wait for an answering service to get a hold of maintenance, but after a brief wait, he showed up and got us in.
I would like to encourage the owner to do some updates in the bathroom. Some caulking might be nice, a new shower curtain, at least. And maybe this is being nit picky, but maybe if you could leave just a little bit more in the way of amenities?
Having said all that, I would recommend this property to a friend because of its location and amazing view.

We had a great time and enjoyed unit #9! it was in good condition and we had no issues with the condo. We did not get any use out of the Vacayzen rental credit because we had them deliver a 2 person kayak which was delivered but they did not include any life jackets. I also asked to rent two more and they had sero to provide. I went out once with my wife and because the water was rough we did not feel comfortable without life jackets. Very disappointed with Vacayzen :-(

Overall our vacation was wonderful!! We have rented several times with garret realty and will continue to do so. There were a few things within the place that could be improved upon. The curtains in the upstairs master bedroom are missing a few hooks and do not hang correctly because of it. There was only one pot holder and no kitchen towels so I had to use beach towels to take things out of the oven. We had a slight hiccup with the portable chairs and umbrellas from vaycazen. They were not delivered on the day we arrived and we didn’t get them until the next day at the end of the day so did not have them for two days. The company was incredibly hard to get in touch with. They said they would refund me for the days we missed and I still haven’t received any money back from them. We loved the location of Blue nine! We felt like the price was a little steep for the condo. It was slightly outdated, but we also felt like we were paying to be on the beach so we were happy with it. Thank you all for what you do! We will see you next summer!

Great location and layout.
Property is in a great location on 30a close to shops and restaurants. Layout and size of property is great. The water and beach is beautiful. There are quite a few steps down to the beach, this was not a problem for us. It would be a issue for someone who is not steady on their feet or not in decent shape. The bushes just beyond the back deck are a little tall so you cannot really see the beach unless you are standing up, but still have a very beautiful water view. The bathrooms are clean but need some general upkeep and a lot of the electrical outlets did not charge our phones/tablets. But over all had a wonderful time with my family in a comfortable home.

Positive: Great location! Being able to walk out onto the deck and have that view is a big perk. Ability to easily walk back up the stairs to go to the bathroom is a huge convenience.
Negative: The condo really needs to be updated. I thought I was on the set of Golden Girls. Hasn't been painted in a long time. The ceiling has a lot of water stains. Bathrooms are in pretty bad shape. On the bright side, the couch, refrigerator and dinning room table were new.
In summary, if this condo was updated with new bathrooms, nicer kitchen and updated decorating, it would be a jewel.

Overall, great stay; just inconveniences from repairs
My sisters, mom & I had an absolutely wonderful long weekend stay here overall. We watched the sunset over the beach every night while eating dinner & enjoyed the location of being between seaside & rosemary communities. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were three different issues that needed to be fixed that should have been fixed before our arrival (but I suppose the last guest didn’t report the issues & therefore the maintenance team didn’t know to fix them?) The air conditioning, the ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom, & the button to start the dryer were all In need of repair, so I called to have them fixed, but had to keep tabs on the maintenance crew in order to make sure they were all getting fixed! I expect to make a call & that be the only requirement from me the rest of the weekend (benchmark management is afterall supposed to manage these things, are they not?). But unfortunately, I was tied up in maintenance communication the first night & half of the day we were there; therefore my vacation time there was very much reduced. Thankfully the issues were resolved after the first full day of being there, however, I was very much disappointed that the one weekend I had with my sisters & mom was cut short because of the management of these problems not being taken care of like they should have been. Hopefully the next guest won’t have any issues at all because I made sure to call & get them all fixed, ha!

Condo was very clean, every room was nice and clean all bathrooms were clean and plenty of towels. Kitchen had plenty of dishes, just enough dish soap for the week and there was also plenty of washing machine soap for a few loads of laundry. We enjoyed our stay very much, we met a few of the other renters(owner)and they all seemed to be having a great time...

Thanks!
We had a great time, the bathrooms were not great, but the overall experence was excellent, everyday was a new revalation of Gods beauty.
The part I want to mention is, we left a rain jacket in the house, it wasn't worth anything, but it had sentimental value.
Garret Realty was great with the attention they gave to helping me with finding something so seemingly unimportant.
Thanks!

This place is absolutely wonderful. We had peaceful neighbors and friendly ones too. It was nice to be at the right end too. Wonderful area; we had crystal clear, aqua blue waters with clean beach sands.
Will love to come back.

Great Location!
The property was great for our family of 5. It was quiet and right on the beach so no need to take a trolley to the beach as many properties are on the north side of 30a. We were out of the hustle and bustle of the Seaside area, but just a short bike ride to all the the shopping and restaurants when we needed. Our family likes to cook and the cookware was in need of replacing. Also not even a salt a pepper shaker was there, so plan to bring everything if you come. Overall it was a great stay and we would book it again.
