We stayed 4 nights and were happy with the condo although it says sleeps 8 it would be a pretty tight squeeze for more than 5-6. Loved the location to everything and being right on the beach. Review says Im from Seattle but Im from Ga.😂

My husband and I had a great Christmas at the beach! The weather was better than expected for this time of year, and we had several great beach days. Beachside condo 1 was nice, and the kitchen had definitely been recently updated.

Location and view were unbeatable. Unit wasnt super clean, and master bedroom matress needs to be replaced - it was so bad I moved to the couch most nights. Otherwsise, perfect stay.
The location is perfect and being on the first floor is a plus, but the condo is in desperate need of an update. The walls and baseboards look terrible and the place smelled of mold. It is a good size for a family of 4, but terribly out dated. It did not feel entirely clean and the tiles are chipped throughout. The couches need to be cleaned at the very least.

This is the second time I have stayed in Beachside Condos- unit 1. My family of 5 had an amazing week! The proximity to the beach canât be beat! I brought walkie talkies incase the kids wanted to take a break from the sand. (Definitely recommend!) Even with a few days of not so great weather- we enjoyed every minute! Condo is well stocked- just lacking a few things- measuring spoons & maybe some plastic/non breakable drink ware. Be sure to bring a throw blanket to snuggle up on the couches as none are provided. The sliding glass door is SOOO hard to open/close but there is a door in the master- we had to use this as the kids just COULD NOT open the sliding door. If the ice maker isnât working- press & hold the freezer button for 3 seconds until it displays temp settings. You may need to do this 2-3 times to get it set correctly. (I figured it out finally on our last day!) & PLEASE upgrade the mattresses!! They could be worse- but I feel like this is a quick fix that would really elevate this unit! Thank you for another AMAZING stay & we canât wait to come back!! Hopefully sooner than later!!

We have been coming to the 30a area for about 30 years. This was unfortunately one of our worst experiences. The condo was fine. Some outdated elements but clean and conveniently located. The issues started when the power went out. We called and a maintenance person arrived pretty quickly. He had to reset an outside breaker. Then the next day the power went out again. I reset the breaker. Then the next day the water heater failed. They sent out a plumber. The heater needed to be replaced which we were told would take another day to get the new unit. They offered to move us to a different condo complex. We accepted and packed up all our stuff plus the food we purchased down here, loaded the car and moved to the new place. Disappointed with the original condo and the issues. I will say Benchmarks customer service did respond well to each issue. The problems did impact us since we had to deal with them rather than spending time on the beach, etc.....

The condo had a beautiful view of the ocean from both the sliding glass door and the bedroom. The condo is very convenient to the beach access shower and stairs. Unfortunately, the praise ends there. The kitchen was poorly stocked. Basic items like a large skillet and scissors were missing. A Keurig coffee maker would have been nice. The utensils were dirty when we arrived. One bowl had mold in it! This is unacceptable- especially for the amount of $ this unit cost us! The washer was horrible! Could not get it to ever fill but just a small amount of water in it. That meant, we could only wash a very small load (like 1 towel). Very inconvenient. The master bath shower is in poor condition . The grout is in very bad condition. Needs to be renovated badly!

Location was wonderful. We could easily bike into Seaside but were away from the crowds. Publix was nearby, with a gas station and an amazing seafood store across the street. The condo was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen could use some updated pans/utensils but otherwise was great. My only complaint was that the outside of the condo was very drab and rundown- it needs updating. The rickety sliding screen door broke and was unable to be fixed during our stay, which left us unable to keep the door open to listen to the ocean without bugs coming in. The pool was basic and the shared grill was merely an old charcoal grill you'd find at a public park, so grilling good seafood wasn't really an option. Go for the beautiful family friendly, private beach- our kids played endlessly with other kids from the complex while we relaxed.We did not appreciate the $65 charge to enter the condo when we arrived 30 minutes early for check-in even though the condo was cleaned and empty. This policy needs to be looked at by Benchmark.

The location of the condo is perfect. This unit is the closest to the steps that go to the beach. It's very easy to run up to the condo for snacks! The unit was clean, plenty of towels and bath cloths. There is a pack-n-play and a booster seat for a baby located in the front bedroom closet. The washing machine worked well. The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils we needed. It looks like this unit is in the process of being painted or remodeled, but not finished. The beds and pillows are BAD! Bring your own pillow and possibly a blanket. This is our 3rd time staying at Beachside Condos, but our first time in Unit 1.

My mother & I had a wonderful stay @ Beachside condo 1!We were there to celebrate her birthday & some health accomplishments! The proximity to the beach was AMAZING even though the 3 fights of stairs were a little difficult for my mother. Waking up to a perfect view every morning canât be beat! Tom Thumb & a souvenir shop are right across the street which is super convenient!Beds were slightly uncomfortable & we did see a few bugs (which is expected when directly on the beach) but every other amenity was perfect! Hope to make this an annual trip!

Great layout for our family of 4. Beautiful view and great access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again. The only negative is that the pool isnât heated....but ultimately the beach makes up for that and this wouldnât be relevant later in the year;)

We loved this fantastic location and the ease of check in, checkout, and having the beach right outside the door. There is a basement-y smell in the unit we rented. I had to call 3 times about the broken washer, and only on the third call did they say they had texted to tell me it was broken (they had not texted) and that it would be replaced (but not during my stay). I will come back to Beachside for sure, but probably wonât stay in that unit again.

The location was perfect and convenient but the condo was very dingy and needs some major TLC. The pictures look way better than what it looks like in person. The shower pressure in the separate bathroom was awful. I would recommend for location and access to beach but not for the decor and cleanliness.

Location of this condo is key! Great setting, close to beach access, and easy access from the road. Code we were supplied didn't work to get in the door. Furnishing was good, but kitchen has little to no supplies. A few pot and pans, but not even measuring cups. No salt, pepper, or any cooking supply. Floor has white paint spill spots all over it. 67 degrees outside and the AC struggled to keep Condo temp below 75. Pool was cold and nothing posted as to pool hours, or access. Location is what makes this place worth looking at again, all other factors do not go above and beyond.

After a 10+ hour drive, we walked into a filthy Beachside Condo 1. Caked dust and grime on the walls, floorboards, and vents. Crumbs on tables. Hair in drawers. Stains on furnitures and floors. The place smelled musty. Visible mold/mildew on the ceiling. My wife, whoâs allergic to high counts of dust and mold had an allergic reaction within 10 minutes of being in the unit. We vacated given the health concern tied to allergies and assumed Benchmark Management would offer some level of service by acting in good faith and refundIng the rental. We were wrong. They have refused to refund stating we should have let them come back in and clean the next day. I explained we felt unsafe and uncomfortable given the presence of mold and that remediation of such would take days. Despite showing them photographic evidence of the filth/mold/mildew, theyâve refused to make us whole. Shocking and disappointing experience all the way around. Especially at a time when cleanliness is of heightened importance (COVID), itâs amazing how unsanitary the unit was.
