Family Beach Vacation
Great location to beach…the house met all our needs for 7adults and 2 kids. Bed’s were firm but comfortable. Communication with Benchmark was easy and quick to respond. Although we weren’t informed of furniture being delivered fortunately one of us happen to be at the house.

Perfect vacation house only steps from the beach
We spent one week with two families in this wonderful and well equipped house. Lots of space to sit inside and on the porches. Cute little pool invited to sit and sip. We went every day to the beach, only a minute walk away. There are four sun benches on the beach with umbrellas which belong to the house. We had a blast together and enjoyed a perfect week! The communication with the vacation manager went very well.

Ok stay
Beautiful neighborhood close to a private beach. The house was clean and nice. One of the bedrooms was very small with a trundle bed with a separate entrance which we didn’t realize. Refrigerator ice and water didn’t work and poor internet/tv streaming. Amenities were nice-pool, pickleball, etc. However, there was a very rude person at the pickleball area that seemed unwelcoming.

Family Fun
We had a great time. The house was beautiful, location was great. Benchmark, the rental company was not as good. We had a terrible time communicating with them. We had issues with the carriage house upon arrival. They never called us back or fixed the issue. Terrible time trying to get parking passes. Everyone we encountered within Carillon said Benchmark was the worse to deal with. We will be back to Carillon, love the area, just wont be using Benchmark again.

Needs new management company
Overall the property was beautiful! It has a great location steps from the beach. It’s really close to one of the walkovers and the beaches were so nice and we felt like the area was not crowded at all. We have stayed all through 30A and this is the first time that we had no crowds like the 30A beaches. That was so nice! They have pools throughout the hood that we visited and we all went to play tennis and pickball every night. And my son played basketball everyday on their full length court. You can not beat the amenities!!! The neighborhood is beautiful and we felt like everything was walkable.
The downfall was as soon as we checked in we tried to access the 6th bedroom but the check in process was not explained well and we didn’t know we needed to find a hidden key that was inside of a lock that had a code they never gave to us. When we finally got a hold of someone to get the code, the key was not inside of the lock box. So my son and his friend had to sleep on a tiny pull out couch. We asked for a partial credit for the first night for this inconvenience and they still have not reviewed our request or reached out to us in a month. Also when we went to our beach chairs everyday that are included in the stay-3 of the 6 days we were there they had not laid out cushions or umbrellas and so we would have to call and wait a few hours to get them to bring them. Benchmark was disappointing to work with. I feel for the homeowner bc I know it’s not their fault.
