Lovely On-The-Water oceanfront 5 Bedroom 5 Bath with Private Pool

We loved the location. It is really 3 semi-private levels. 2 kitchens and decks off of each level were a bonus.It’s worth the cost of heating the pool for marginal spring days. And, the convenience of our own beach access plus beach chairs and umbrellas included and automatically set up were great.

Nice Property

A bit older home but reasonably well kept. Had a couple of issues that were remedied quickly by management. Located on a GREAT place on the beach. Amenities were excellent and the separate living areas were well thought out and fit our family perfectly.

The beach, the beach, the beach!

Fantastic location, near shopping and great restaurants. The pool could use some maintenance (heater not great) and updating, but being able to walk right out onto the beach is so worth it. The house was clean and well furnished and easily accommodated our family of 10 adults.

Not as good of service as in the past

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Benchmark customer service was not a local group but an outsourced overseas contact. We never got calls back in response to our problems. Pool heater was never turned on and no response as to why. AC problems we investigated and fixed on our own when we got no calls back to help. (For whatever reasons breakers were turned off) . Basically not the same customer service we have had in the past. Pool cleaning guy came mid day and then told us we have to stay out for a couple hours, and just threw his hands up when we asked about the heater...as in not my problem.

I loved it but if you have a sensitive nose you are not going to be happy

i loved it very much. stocked well. beautiful. functional. close to the beach. pool. but there is a leak somewhere in the upstairs that was fresh and flowing. the smell caused me to feel ill it was so strong. it was constant. it was actually kind of horrible. soooo if you are sensitive in the ENT to mold, mildew or damp smell this is not the place for you. i really wish i didn't have to type this last part.

Thanksgiving in FL

We really enjoyed our stay in The Mirage. Prepping food for our Thanksgiving feast was easy with the 2 kitchens. The view of the Gulf was gorgeous and made food prepping extra enjoyable. There were more supplies in the kitchen than are listed on the website, such as: a small crock pot, toaster, a chopper, full size coffee pots in both kitchens, and other things I cannot recall. It was a dream come true for me to have all my family under one roof. The Mirage accommodated all 4 families nicely!❤️💝

Best vacation ever

We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own private area. The pool was great after a day at the beach and the weather was perfect. For the 1st time ever to Florida not a drop of rain! We had to call maintenance 1 time and they came right away and fixed our problem. A special thank you to Lisa who brought us a 9x13 dish from her house after hours. I would highly recommend this house to everyone who loves 30a and the beach as much as our family does.

Great Beach house

House was great. It seems mostly updated, a few things were still needing work like rusty can lights, but nothing that made a difference to our stay. House is big and accommodating for a our group of 9. Public beach access was right next to the house. Beachfront had been decreased by hurricanes. But all of that was easily remedied by walk a short distance to some nice beach front. We would stay here again the pros outway any small cons.

The Mirage

Excellent location and home. Clean and ideal for a family. The pool is so nice to come back to after a day at the beach. The home does need a few improvements- especially before another Hurricane. We had water coming in from the windows and roof. Lost one bedroom due to the leaking so that was inconvenient. The Management company was very responsive in bringing us towels to clean up

Great Location, Needs Basic Maintenance

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a great location but the owner should really put some basic maintenance into the house during the off season. Simple things like paint, repairable equipment and grounds maintenance and you would have a much better house. The constant issues we had with the pool heater and the entire two day electrical project were a major inconvenience during our Spring Break week. Management was responsive after I got through the answering service but the issues we were having should have been noticed and fixed during the off season.

The house was awesome for the privacy & relaxing time we were looking for on the beach.

The process was easy. The only hiccup was more on me because somehow I missed the part that you had to pay extra for the pool to be heated. We thought it was broken & staying between Hurricane Sally & the tropical storm Beta, it was windy & cold during the day. On day two I emailed the property management, but it didn't get warm until the morning we left. Never got in the pool. But we loved the place & would rent it again!

Our review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi,We enjoyed our week at the mirage. We have attached several pictures. While the interior was very nice and clean, the outside really needs some work. The paint is very weathered and many rusted areas. Including the outdoor light fixtures. The grill was not clean and we did not feel comfortable using it. Our master bedroom has mold/mildew on the walls by the tv and we experienced difficulty breathing. The toilet paper holder is about to fall off the wall. The shower was also moldy in many grout areas. The ants on the pool deck were everywhere. There is also a large wasp nest under the 2nd floor deck.The house is nice on the inside but the outside was very disappointing. The beach access and chairs were great.Sincerely,Lisa Malladyimage0.jpegimage1.jpegimage2.jpegimage3.jpegimage4.jpegSent from my iPhone
