Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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 The unit is a little outdated, but it's still a very nice place to stay.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.

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

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

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 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 :-(

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!

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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...

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!

Property is perfect for a family! Beach is quiet and so close!

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. Thanks

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.

Amazing view,, private and relaxing area...just what we were looking for :)

We loved every moment of out stay. The house was great! Very clean, roomy and comfortable. The patio was wonderful to watch sunrises and sunsets. The beach was all ours. We will be back!
