Hi Keturah, Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad the home gave your three families plenty of room to spread out — because even the best vacation buddies need a little space to recharge! We’re happy you enjoyed the convenient location, with the pool just steps away and the beach close enough for a relaxing stroll. A 10-minute walk to the sand is just enough time to build excitement. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome your group back for more family memories soon! Best regards, Benchmark Management

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was perfect, really enjoyed the setup and furnishings in the house. Great location, very short walk to the beach across 30A and nice couple areas within walking distance to get a drink, coffee, food, beach items. Pool was in good shape, a nice add for the trip.Only downside for me on the trip was the WiFi (and in turn cell service, though this has been the case often for me on trips down to 30A). I work a decent amount on these family trips and the WiFi was very very slow and because the whole 30A area generally has terrible cell service using a hotspot doesn't help. Not a big issue, nor anything enough to take off a star just a note for those of you working a bit while here.Either way one of the top houses we've had a chance to stay in down in the area and could see us coming back in the future.

This home was perfect for our stay of 6 adults, 2 teens, and 3 kids! We cooked breakfast and dinners everyday, perfect kitchen, dining, and living set up! Bathrooms were perfect too! We walked to the beach everyday and even hiked in the lush forest just minutes away. There were shops, restaurants, even a place to buy fresh seafood, which was excellent and all within walking distance! Pool on the property was shared by a few homes, but it was never crowed when we went for a swim. We would highly recommend this property.

Everything about our experience was great! The reservation process was easy and any communication with the property manager was promptly responded to. The house had a lot of nice extras (the margarita maker was a hit). Our family of 9 (3 families) had plenty of room and the open kitchen and living room gave us a great place to eat and play games. The pool was across the street and never crowded and the beach was a short walk. I would highly recommend this property.
