Loved the condo! Comfortable bed! Loved the balcony and lounger and that it came with beach chair setup for free! As some other reviews have noted it was extremely bare bones though as far as amenities so this is something to be aware of and plan accordingly.(No salt and pepper, coffee filters, no beach towels, no beach toys/ boogie boards etc.)Looking forward to coming back! The management company was awesome at communication.
Property was conveniently located next to beach. Check in was ok, but I was driving when I kept getting texts if we were arriving by 4PM. In the past, there was no early check in, but this time, there appeared to be (?). The master bathroom sink was clogged up from our check in. The laundry closet was off its track and we had to guide it with our finger. The master shower door was off its track as well but none of this was discovered until after check in. Kitchen was great, but dining room table was wobbly. The furniture was not very comfortable in living room area. Despite all of the above, we had a great time and loved the location. Just some maintenance and improvements needed for future guests
I doubt we would stay again. They asked when we first checked in if it was clean b/c they didnât think it was as clean as normal. We had said that it was fine but we had only been there long enough to change to go to the ocean. Later as we got settled, that changed. It was months and months of a lack of good cleaning. All the corners/edges on the floors and vents/baseboards were filthy. No bugs though. The beds were comfortable and clean. We had to rewash most of the pots and pans that we used. The other dishes were fine. We only had 3 coffee mugs in our condo that slept 6. We asked for an extra mug and immediately got it though. There werenât very many kitchen cooking utensils (and no oven mitts) available for use but plenty of silverware. The blankets on the bed were the cheap white kind that are found in hospitals but the sheets were soft. Only 1 extra blanket for the pull out couch even though we checked in for 6 people. Only had one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Everywhere else weâve ever stayed in Santa Rosa had supplied 1 on the roll and 1 extra per bathroom. I asked for extra blankets and 1 or 2 extra toilet paper rolls since that is standard everywhere else that weâve stayed for the past 7 years and they acted like I was asking for something crazy. I told them that I understood If the toilet paper thing was their policy but could I get another blanket. They did give both thankfully. Beach was beautiful. Pool was small but clean. Air conditioner worked great.

When visiting Seagrove you are truly in paradise. However, I believe the owners of 406 rely a bit too much on that fact. You rent a condo to have some basic home needs fulfilled. The second bedroom did not have blackout curtains only blinds. It faces the hallway outside which has lights on all night so is not conducive to good sleep. The bed pillows were simply unacceptable. No one expects super high end but what was there was, really useless. The kitchen lacked some basic items like a decent coffee cup or a corkscrew. The main TV in the living room did not stream so unless you return to 2005 with time travel and a DVD the family will need to hang out on the bed to stream a movie. I will say that the managment service was very attentive and as helpful as possible, especially Emily, however, the owners need to be a bit more attentive to basic maintenance.
The beach was beautiful. Loved having chairs and umbrellas however if you didnât get down to reserve a chair by 7:30am you are out of luck!
The condo was ok. A little old and beat up but the view was the best. Beach too crowded but my bad for booking during fall break.
We rented this condo at BeachCrest for my wife and I and our 22-year old daughter. It was a great combination of location and fit and cost. For 3 of us, the size was just right with the 2 good sized bedrooms and plenty of open seating from kitchen to dining room to living room to the patio outdoors. The bathrooms were a little small but everything worked and it was very clean. The location being right on the beach was fantastic, and as well it was very central on 30A so Seaside was an easy bike ride or medium-esque walk away to the west, and Alys and Rosemary not that far by car to the east. The condo building having a nice pool to cool off in was great as well. We love 30A and this unit was just perfect for our situation this time.
This property was SO clean and well laid out! Plenty of storage, nice kitchen appliances and incredible ocean front vistas. The washer is a bit wonky and noisy(!), but cleaned our clothes just fine. My husband and I traveled with our two oldest grandchildren and we all had plenty of room. If you plan to cook (we did!), bring your own knives as theirs are cheaply made and not sharp at all. Itherwise, it was all spectacular!

Great that condo was above third floor. Trees would have blocked ocean view below that. So pleased apartment was on fourth floor! Decorated perfectly.
Nice place but could be SO MUCH BETTER with just a little effort!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a nice condo in a great location. If the management put like less that $100 into bettering the experience for the customer it would be perfection! Giving 2 laundry pods and 2 dishwasher pods (that dont even work), NO SALT OR PEPPER OR COOKING OIL OR ANY CONDIMENTS!, cooking pans were rusty and warped so bad that you couldn't cook on them, Knives were so dull that you could barely use them. All these things are small details but make such a difference! Also, a HUGE cockroach went strolling across our floor during the stay! YUCK!

This was our second time staying at this property, and we absolutely loved every minute of our stay. The beautiful ocean views and direct beach access are the best, making it easy and fun for our family to make memories that weâll cherish forever. We will be returning again!

We have stayed at BeachCrest for years. Great location, perfect space for 2 people. This was our first stay in unit 406. The mattresses and pillows need to be replaced. Also we got a note form the property management company saying we could check in 30 minutes early for a $65 fee which was tacky considering we rent here often and they no longer provide credits for bicycles.

The unit was well decorated. The view is amazing. We will comeback to this complex, but not to this unit. The unit could use a good deep cleaning. Baseboard in the master bath were gross. The kitchen knobs to open the cupboards were all sticky to the touch. The starter kit they left had kitchen wipes I was able to wipe down the knobs. I ended up putting all the glasses in the dishwasher, everyone I picked up had lipstick on them. We had a HUGE problem with the televisions, both living are and master bedroom. In the year 2023 not to have HD picture crazy. The streaming was terrible to figure out (no instructions, no channel list). The master bedroom we finally gave on and never turned it on. The Benchmark management company came up, but really was no help at all. We were thankful our weather was perfect, so we didnât watch much TV.

We had a great stay at your condo! The view of the ocean was so nice and the balcony space was great. The location was just a bike ride away from many places we wanted to go but yet far enough away from the heavy traffic. Would stay there again. :)
No face cloths included in clean towels. Had to wait to day after arrival to get face cloths.
The floor of the shower stall appears to to be dirty.
Sofa springs make horrible noise when we stood up after sitting .
Upholstery items need updating.
Info sheet containg WiFi password was incorrect. Got correct sign in the next day.
Was not given the code to open the gate going to beach and pool area, got code from passing guest.
Front door had to be positioned correctly to get dead bolt to go in.
Attention to details is important.

We stayed two months in Beachcrest 406. Great location to the beach, restaurants, etc. The incentive to rent bikes, for free, was awesome and appreciated. The unit had good beds and had bathroom upgrades but main TV was small, kitchen supplies were minimal and the vacuum was not good. Benchmark was good to work with and assisted when requested.

great view. there was supposed to be tv in every bedroom, but one was missing. the management brought in a loaner. updated tv's would be good. dvd did not work
Wonderful to sit on balcony in the AM before day started, enjoy coffee and listen to the ocean. GREAT location. Management has excellent communication.
The location was perfect. We could walk or take the golf cart wherever we wanted to go. Beautiful gulf view we enjoyed every night. Condo was comfortable and clean.
