The house itself is fine and the front porch is Amazing. While we enjoyed our stay, I have a few recommendations for the owners:The linens / towels were terrible! They were old and worn - felt like I was drying off with sandpaper. The King-Size mattress is severely lopsided. The pillows were FLAT and worn out. Also a blanket or two would be nice. The front yard is a mess and needs cleaning up. Finally, it would be nice to have a couple of beach chairs available and maybe offer a couple of bicycles with the rental. This is the first beach rental I’ve had where no beach chairs were provided. This was pretty bare-bones.

This was a great place to stay! We were very impressed with this house! It had plenty of room for everyone. The beds were incredibly comfortable! We loved sitting on the screened porch. The kitchen was well supplied with coffee pots, Keurig, pots, pans, etc. There were plenty of plates, bowls, silverware, etc in the kitchen. It was very clean upon our arrival. It was a short walk, bike ride or drive to so many shops, restaurants and beach access. We will definitely be considering it for our next trip. There was great communication and reminders throughout our stay. Following our stay we thought we left something in the house and we called the company. They very quickly got in touch with housekeeping to check for our item.

We loved this little house! It was perfect for my husband, dog and I. The place was very clean, well stocked and the porch was our favorite! The only downside (which has nothing to do with the property) is the beach access. The public access on Eastern Lake required that you walk through the lake to get to the beach. The other public access doesn't have much room for parking. NEITHER access provides bathrooms. Dogs aren't allowed on the Beaches on 30A, so we used "What's Up Dog" daycare in Santa Rosa Beach for our beach days. Benchmark Rental agency was excellent with communication and I would 100% work with them again.

This place is in a great location but needs love. Old furniture, paint coming off walls and old beds. it has the most random cookware and dishes. TVs were monitor sizes and that is a cheap fix. No blankets and bedding was a sheet and a thin quilt. If you rent here bring pillows and blankets and paper goods for sure. Benchmark was fantastic and very responsive. I knew the place was old so that is on me. If they would upgrade the tvs and beds it would be so much better! That being said we had a fantastic time for the price since we didn’t stay in the house much!
