It is a one minute walk from the beach! Me and my family enjoyed very much the stay, the building is in great condition! Everything works! It was nice!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You can't beat the proximity to the beach and pool! Some type of shade in the pool area would make this much more enjoyable. Good equipment in the kitchen and nice to have 4 baths/bedrooms with comfortable beds. There were several beach chairs available for use. Property was nice but not high-end as many places in 30a are.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I were very pleased with our stay at Float Away. Upon arrival, everything was clean, neat and ready for us to move in for the week. The kitchen was well equipped as we bought fresh seafood most nights and cooked in the house to avoid large crowds at restaurants during Covid-19 restrictions. We did have one issue with the washer and dryer in the unit but after emailing we got a very speedy response and the washer was fixed the next day. Overall, we would definitely rent this unit again!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this rental and the spaciousness was perfect. We unfortunately had several maintenance issues immediately. They were responsive and came out quickly, but not all issues were resolved unfortunately. The most challenging part was how dirty the carpeting and flooring was. Our feet would be soiled just minutes after a shower. It was gross. The unit needs serious updating and refurbishing. Furniture is worn and stained. Cabinets, light fixtures, and ceilings all had lots of damage and showed signs of neglect. The general feel was of a 1990s beach house that needs some serious attention. I would not rent this unit again.

It was not fixed until the day before we left.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Float Away was a good spot that met our needs! First off location. I was worried about being on the other side of 30A, but that was not an issue. The walk to the beach was short and simple - literally cross 30A and the walkover to the beach is right there (51 stair steps down to the sand). We have had a longer walk to the beach at past homes on the beach side of 30A, so proximity to the beach is good - and the beach was not too packed with people. Also, I like the location as it was close to The Hub, Alys & Rosemary, but not not as crowded as being in one of those higher density communities. Now, the house itself. First the beds were great. I appreciate a comfortable mattress in a rental and these beds were comfortable. The lower two floors were great, but you do have to know that the AC on the top floor is not ideal. In the summer, it simply was always 5-7 degrees warmer on the third floor. There were fans in the third floor room (as if it was a known issue) and the fans did help. The bathrooms were sufficient and just as they appear in the pics but not high-end or luxury. The kitchen was good and workable, but again it was not a high end kitchen. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and utensils, but would benefit from a refresh of pots and non-stick skillets. The kitchen's hidden gem was a very large pantry. I wish they would add a second refrigerator. A 4 bed house sleeping 8-10 people could really use another refrigerator. The house was very clean and in good repair. We did not have any issues. The pool was shared, and was a bit small. It was nice for a quick dip after the beach but not a place to spend lots of time. Not a show stopper, but worth mentioning if a pool is important. We had limited interaction with Benchmark, but they were helpful with the basics and it was nice to have a code for the door and to do a remote check in without keys. Overall I would return as we enjoyed Float Away.

Reviewer Comments: Things happen and we understand that, but Benchmark/ the owners don’t know how to resolve them with GOOD customer service. We booked Float away for spring break with 2 families of five. It’s just the right size for us and had the perfect location. We did enjoy our stay. The first floor front bedroom does have a trundle bed but you have to move furniture in order to pull it out. It’s a tight fit with limited closet access with a dresser blocking one of them. The twin bed will be fine as long as the person sleeping on it doesn’t move, it’s quite loud. The first day we arrived right at check in around 3:15 and we were excited to begin our vacation. That ended quickly as the first evening of showers with kids became a hot mess with the bathrooms. The first floor front bathroom had water raining down it from the vent and the shower curtain rod fell down in the middle of the shower (it was broken). The water feature is from the bathroom on the second floor that flooded in the wall down below to the first floor bathroom. This lead to an unusable second floor shower and and first floor shower until maintenance could arrive the next day. It also created lots of laundry from cleaning up the flood in the basement.
The second day was no better as we ran the dishwasher for the first time and it flooded the kitchen. This also then created a rain feature to the bathroom directly below. We used up most of the towels provided in order to clean up the floods created from the showers and the dishwasher. There is no laundry soap available so bring your own in order to wash the towels.

We did have an issue with the credit ($140) we had recieved from rent gear here (now Vacayzen) in that they had no record of our reservation when I called inititally to reserve items and then when I called back they ahd not one thing available so the credit could not be used:(

The beach was directly across the street - very convenient. I appreciated the fact that our beach, while busy, did not have the crowds of other beaches in the area, especially in these times. I would 100% stay here again.
