Reviewer Comments:
We were so looking forward to our beach vacation this year. The unit at Sago Sands was beautiful, but the rest of the experience was miserable. Due to beach restorations, there was constant noise during our entire 2 week stay. A conveyor belt was parked right outside our bedroom which ran from 7:30 in the am until 5 everyday except on weekends. Dump trucks would arrive at 7:30 everyday to dump huge loads of sand in the parking lot next door which would be followed by a loud bang of the tailgate. The dump trucks, loaders, and bulldozers remained working on the beach right below our unit moving back and forth constantly. I realize that this work needed to be done; however, we would have expected notification prior to our visit, and an offer to change condo complexes or dates which was always done under Garrett Realty. After speaking with 2 property managers, the rental manager, and numerous others, we have yet to hear back re some kind of compensation for our inconvenience. To pay as much as we did to stay for 2 weeks without even a return call to attempt to work this out, I feel the need to warn everyone about using Benchmark properties. Although everyone I spoke with agreed that this was poorly handled, no one has been willing to step up and do the right thing. After over 10 years of renting through Garrett/Benchmark, we will no longer give them our business. So disappointing!
