Reviewer Comments:
My stay was somewhat uncomfortable. I enjoyed the resort as always, but this rental was not it. We traveled 7+ hours and arrived about 1 hour early and wasn't able to get in. We had to wait outside the door because I couldn't reach a representative and when they called back they still instructed us to wait. The unit was VERY dusty, master bed toilet was dirty, stains on kitchen decor and badly stained tubs. Just was an uncomfortable stay with Benchmark.

I received a lot of redundant communication from the management company, which was sort of chaotic. I wish all pertinent info was in one place/ email or at least that the info was consistent among all means of communication. For example, our check in was listed as 4 and 4:30 in different communications. Also, it is listed that check in could be delayed till 5 for cleaning….. so I will be charged if I enter before this unclear check in time, but if they are late, I should just adjust my plans to just wait longer? Very unprofessional.
Unresponsive management. They changed the door code the morning of our check in date and only communicated this through text (no email and the apartment link was not updated). Neither the old or new code were correct. We waited 1.5 hours in the Florida heat waiting on the management company to call back to reset the code.
The condo was well furnished but the cleaning service never put out pillows in the beds. While there were many pillows in the closet, there were only 2 pillowcases in a condo meant for 10 people…. There were also supposed to be a bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth for 10 people, but there were only 9 bath towels and 1 wash cloth. There was also no hand or body soap, despite this being promised beforehand. There were no trash bags.
Also one elevator in the building was broken the entirety of our stay and the other elevator only worked 1/2 the time. The one elevator was always packed because of this.

We enjoyed our stay, and for the most part, the pros outweighed the cons. I would just say that for the cost we did expect a little better facilities. The cons fall mostly on the management company and not these particular condo owners.Pros: The condo itself has plenty of room for 7-8 people. Very spacious!It was clean and comfortable with nice furniture and decor. The balcony was huge, and although I would rather have a view of the ocean instead of the city, we were able to watch the fountain show each night. The condo is a very short walk to the beach and the atmosphere is mostly family-friendly.Cons: The biggest headache by far had to be the elevator situation! The condo is located on the 8th floor, literally right by the elevators. That was great, but just don't expect to be able to grab an elevator real quick. If you are carrying luggage or pulling a wagon to the beach you are going to have to wait a good 15-20 minutes before you can fit on the elevator. The Wifi didn't work the first two days (they had sent us the wrong network and password info) The dishwasher did not work - not a big deal had they provided a drainboard or at least more than a single hand towel (that's even more inconvenient than it sounds after a day or so). There were a few kitchen items that would have been useful for cooking, but overall it was well-equipped.There was no broom or dustpan. That made no sense knowing that guests would be bringing in sand on a daily basis, so we had to break out the vacuum a few times a day.This may not bother others, but the distinct, skunk-like stench of marijuana wafted onto our balcony every night and that was annoying (especially having young kids and teenagers with us)Having a fitness center was good, but it could have been better maintained.

While the condo was very spacious and a great location, we were very disappointed with the overall condition and cleanliness of the unit. For the first week we experienced bugs on a daily basis and the exterminator was by twice. There unit was very dirty and we spent the first three days of our stay cleaning the place to make it Livable. The entire init needs some maintenance and a deep clean including furniture apholstry. All patio cushions had mild due stains and need to be replaced. With some TLC this can be a nice unit.

We rented four units from the same host for our extended family Thanksgiving vacation. The proximity was great (1 unit on floors 5, 6, 7 and 8)! Our family had a wonderful time and we're looking forward to returning.

Our stay at this unit was excellent! The unit was exact as described and in a great location. We were within walking distance to the beach as well as some great restaurants. The facilities offer great pools and restaurants right on site without having to leave the condo. The hosts communication and friendliness was excellent throughout our entire stay. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Coffee maker was broken, never received the replacement. The main reason for a poor review is the location. The place is right next to the very busy street and is very crowded and loud.

We had a lovely stay at Aneliya's lovely condo. She did her best to make our stay pleasant and she was a very good host from the beginning to the end of our stay. If we ever return to Panama City, we would not hesitate to rent this condo or one of the properties managed by Aneliya.

It could have been a little cleaner. Sticky stuff all over kitchen table, stains on the love seat, stains on the rugs, patio doors were dirty. Trash can in kitchen had trash in the bottom of can that they covered up by putting a trash bag in can. Had a problem with fridge door not closing, but maintenance came and fixed it. And the air conditioner stopped working on our last day there, but was able to fix that by flipping the breaker. So, not too many problems, we had a great stay. We love Panama!!

Family Vacation with kids and grandchildren. Setup was perfect as everyone had their privacy. The balcony not facing the ocean proved to be much more relaxing in the evening to get a break from the sun.

Great place to stay. Location is perfect. Walking distance from the beach what else can you ask for. Really gear host as well as it was easy to check in and out. And lastly the place itself was clean and big perfect for the family vacation.

This place was beautiful. It was right in front of the beach, walking distance. Great location, right next to Walmart & restaurants & other convenient stores. There were a few issues with the condo. The a/c did not work. We were not able to sit on the couch comfortably & the patio furniture due to multiple stains & the cushions being dirty. Housekeeping was able to come treat the stains on the couch but she did not clean the patio chairs. 2 of the shower curtains had mold on them which the host quickly had them changed the next day. Be prepared to wait 10+ minutes for the elevators as they were always backed up due to the large capacity of people in the building. They would not work most of the time so we had to walk up & down flights of stairs coming from the 8th floor for most of our visit. I did not mind the stairs but I had my grandparents with me so having them constantly go up & down the stairs was very draining. Other than those few details the place was still great. The host kept great communication the entire time. I enjoyed my stay!

Overall our stay was very pleasant. Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for elevators or to take the stairs. We had a handicapped member in our group that could not take the stairs and that resulted in waiting upwards of 30 minutes each time we left or returned to the condo. This was literally the biggest downfall of the trip and had we known there were limited elevators and no access directly to the parking garage from our floor, we would've selected a different condo or building all together.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the Wharf.! Loved the number of pools we could choose from and the ice cream shop. We also enjoyed overlooking the lake from our balcony and seeing the various wildlife. The elevators were not working well, and that was very inconvenient as we had 6 kids between two families, and we were on the 8th floor. The kitchen in our unit didn’t have a lot of cookware or cups, and the cookware wasn’t the best. Our unit also could’ve used more towels. The countertop by the kitchen sink had been damaged, and the WIFI wasn’t super fast. 1st world problems…but these are some suggestions for improvement.

Great place and very spacious! We had a great stay and close to the beach and enjoyed amenities! People complained about the elevators but it is a big place and lots of traffic so congestion is expected :)
