Weekend Stay at the Cottages

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean upon arrival and easy to find. Benchmark is over the top with communication. I found the notebook in the house very helpful. My only complaint is there are no curtains in the bedrooms making it very hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. The master bedroom and bunk rooms both have windows that face the pool where bright lights are left on all night. Other than not sleeping at all, the house served our needs for two nights.

Feels Like Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful vacation at Beach Therapy Cottage. The cottage was clean and cozy. It was perfect for our family and friends. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook and grill. We loved the pool and beach access. We went over Memorial Day weekend, but where we were didn’t feel crowded at all. We made such wonderful memories. Benchmark Management was wonderful to work with. They reached out to us throughout the week to check on us. We definitely plan to return, and highly recommend staying at Beach Therapy!

Great little cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an extended stay of 4 weeks in Feb, and we just love this complex. It's perfect for a couple, and perhaps a guest or two - a couple kids would be just fine - but not much more. The living room was very comfortable, but it's not large. Master bedroom king sized bed was very comfortable. A couple beach chairs would be a great addition. The cottage has lots of hooks to hang jackets and towels which is greatly appreciated. We had a quick response from a Benchmark when the icemaker quit working - even on a Saturday. The tv had a few issues which we think had to do with the router. Some instructions on how to reboot the router would also be a nice addition to the property instructions. Overall, we just truly enjoyed our cottage by the pool and had everything we wanted. Thank you!

Beach Therapy

We enjoyed our stay. Only thing I might say is the bunk room seemed a bit warmer than the other bedroom when the fan was on. Otherwise, everything was great!

Just ok

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was 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: The SMALL dog friendly house was cute and seemed to be in a good location. Beds were comfortable. Chairs in front of living room tv were not comfortable. Had an issue with plumbing, the whole house stopped up on Friday after Thanksgiving. We called Benchmarks office over 5 times from 4:30pm to 8:30pm trying to get them to call a plumber. We could not use the toilets. Finally we convinced the lady at benchmark that this was not just a stopped up toilet but the sewer line was stopped up. A plumber finally was called at 9:30 and he arrived at 10:15pm and was there until 12:30am. It seems benchmark does not mage their properties too well anymore. Last three places we have rented have had some kind of plumbing/water problems. Other than that night it was ok.

Great spot to unwind!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach Therapy is a great unit that is convenient to the pool, which was perfect for our kids. The grill was great for nightly cooking and the kitchen is well stocked. The bunk beds were amazingly comfortable. The only suggestions we have are: the living area is cramped with furnishings,and the sofa is uncomfortable/stained and needs replacing. The master bedroom needs either a new, more sturdy bed frame or the current one needs tightened, as each time my husband moved in the night, it made loud noises. Thank you for having the beach wagon and all the beach/pool toys. That was a great hit for our kids. All in all, a great stay.

Perfect set up for kids

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house being right off the pool was amazing for the kids. We never had to pack everything up to go to the pool. The grill is right next to the pool as well which made for easy lunches. Walk to the beach was about 4 minutes and easy to do. Our only complaint was how the kitchen wasn’t very stocked and the Wi-Fi would sporadically stop working. Besides that it was the perfect space and nicely decorated!

Seacrest beach vaca

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time we enjoyed our little beach cottage. We loved having the pool right outside our back door and the beach across the street. But we were very disappointed that they did not provide any beach towels or pool towels and we had to go to the store and buy them for ourselves or let you know and they didn’t let us know ahead of time. I called the management company and they said they never provide them. I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals and if you have a pool on the beach, they always provide beach towels. This policy needs to be changed.

Good but not the best

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So the location of this property was great! Close walk to the beach and a pool right outside. The home was nice, but the cleaning crew wasn’t the best one of the toilets still had pee stains under the seat from the previous guests and the floor upon arrival was not cleaned well. The property management company also left much to be desired. I emailed them twice before arrival to ask questions about the property and did not get a response to either email. One time I called them and the woman I spoke with was not nice. While we won’t be back the property itself was great and in a nice location!

Girls Trip - May 2023

We had an amazing time in 30A! The pool was steps away from our back porch and the beach was just a short walk away. The cottage came with a wagon that made hauling our cooler and bags to the beach easy. The beach was beautiful and not busy at all. The property was clean and had everything we needed. Our only complaint was that the dinning room chairs could use some cushions, they were not comfortable to sit in.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach Therapy was exactly what our family needed for Spring Break! Upon arrival, the house was ready for us right at 4:00, and was immaculately clean. We quickly settled in and made our way to the PRIVATE beach, which is an easy +/- 4 minute walk!! Our son enjoyed the pool (a little too cold for us parents), and our dog enjoyed long afternoons on the porch laying under the fan.The kitchen had everything we needed to make us feel right at home.We've already booked our return trip and can't wait to get back to the gorgeous 30A!!

Fabulous Family Vacay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This vacation cottage rental is wonderful! The grounds and the pool were very well maintained. We travelled with 3 kids and our dog and we all had a blast! The beach access is very close to the community, making the daily trek easy and the location to Rosemary Beach and The Chill made for fun bike rides. This cottage is the perfect size to relax and reconnect, while having all the amenities you would need to enjoy a meal "in" after a long day at the beach and pool. Can't wait to return soon!
