Lovely House, Quiet Neighborhood

The house is just as described! We had multiple families on this trip and this house provided plenty of room for everyone while also providing a very quiet neighborhood. We were just steps away from the pool, which was nice since we had smaller children with us. The only downside was the beach access parking lot is not very big and also a little bit of a hike once parked. Great house, would definitely recommend for families wanting a quiet setting.

Great Location

Nice house on a quiet street, pool was awesome. We rented a golf cart to get back and forth to the beach easier with our gear and young children. The house had a few minor repairs in progress, but it was very clean. Great kitchen for cooking and plenty of porches to sit outside. There’s a shower around the side of the garage for washing off sand. Also there were 3 bikes available to use.

Summertime Beach Trip: Cousin Camp at Cottages of Eastern Lake

Rating Details: 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 were a family with 4 children and 6 adults. The house was just as it was described and photographed. The neighborhood is very pretty with palm trees lining the main drive as well as the pool. Everything was very clean and up to standards with a clean kitchen. We experienced a shower leak down through a lighting fixture on 1st floor and sewer gas in the master bath but both were repaired very quickly. A lovely stay!

A Dream Come True

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 spent several fabulous weeks here. It is only a short walk or bike (provided) ride to the best beach in Florida. The water is crystal clear and you sink up to your ankles as you walk in the sugar white sand on the beach. Memories of a lifetime for sure!

Great location!

We arrived to a cute neighborhood and a beautiful house. The house was clean and it had a great layout with plenty of room. The house had everything we needed. We loved the four bikes that came with the house. The beach was just a quick 3-5 minute bike ride or an easy 10-15 minute walk. The pool was great too. We loved the area. It was less crowded than other 30a spots with stores and restaurants nearby. The only downside was the beach access was a small area between private beaches so it can get crowded so get up early to get your spot 🙂.

Beach Haven Amazing 🌴

Beautiful beach home in a super cute private location, tucked back next to 30A. Lined with gorgeous palm trees on a quiet brick road. We absolutely loved our stay here in Santa Rosa. House was exactly as described, even more amazing in person, very clean. Decorated with cute beach accents making you feel like you’re on vacation🌴☀️. Very spacious and comfortable for all! It had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, loved the cute claw tub! Beach access was just a short bike ride or relaxing walk away. Very convenient location for everything 30A has to offer. Riding bikes along 30A and exploring each village along the way is a must. So much fun! Thank you Beach Haven for the family memories and amazing winter getaway! Hope to be back soon!

Great Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: The rental was fabulous, however, the communication prior to stay with Benchmark not so much. Not sure if I missed out on downloading an app but a lot of vital information was not relayed to me. We were told extra cars could be parked at southern central storage. When we arrived there, there was a sign that clearly said cars would be towed. Of course it was after closing there because we couldn’t check in until 4. Other than the management company, the rental was fabulous and I would recommend

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had initially booked another beachfront townhome for this trip. Ten days from our expected arrival, the owners canceled our rental. Benchmark provided us some alternatives, and we chose this home. Although it was not on the beach, it was very nearby; and the house couldn't have been more beautiful and beachy! We did arrive to no AC upstairs, but that was fixed before bedtime. Very quiet and peaceful home and neighborhood with everything you need for a great vacation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house is nice and in a good location. My biggest recommendation to the management company would be to review cleaning procedures and quality. The showers need cleaned thoroughly and the floors need mopped. I understand sand will always be an issue at a beach property but the floors have not been mopped in quite a while. I would rate the property 6 out of 10 that could be a 10 if it was cleaned and maintained better.

Family Vacay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than 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 Haven was a great spot for our family. We enjoyed being a few houses down from our relatives who own a house on this same street. The back porch and living space was one of our favorite areas to hang when not at the beach! We enjoyed cooking at home and used both the well stocked kitchen and the Blackstone which was great for outdoor cooking. It was a convenient location for us and we enjoyed having the bikes to ride however we did end up renting a golf cart to make it easier to haul our items to the beach! But, it is not a bad bike ride. I have two things that I would suggest to Benchmark or owners... There were no blankets (we are blanket people when watching TV and having coffee in the am) and it would have been nice to have some. Also, although we only had 5 people staying, it would have been great to have a little more seating in the living area( like a sectional). We loved the proximity to the coffee shop and Old Florida fish house and the beach was the least crowded of beaches that we have been to on 30A. Overall, we had a great vacation and would definitely rent here again.
