Imagine going to bed and waking up to waves rolling onto a beach. That’s exactly what I experienced when my group stayed at Monterey B301 along 30A in Florida. Our hosts provided everything we could have asked for. It was the view and access to the Gulf that made our stay spectacular. The sunset was awesome and we enjoyed watching the dolphins from our deck. Three huge ensuite bedrooms provided plenty of room for us. The host also sent us information about all of the towns along 30A as well as places to eat.

November Birthday Stay
by Bessemer AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Great stay! Only complaint is that the door to the balcony was terrible- would not open easily and by the end of the stay we couldn’t turn knob at all. Staff is very communicative when we had an issue with the door code- great customer service. Loved the private beach!

Delightful!
by Jessica C.
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our stay at 30A was delightful. The condo is clean, spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. The location is great, being so close to the beach, pool and local amenities. The private beach is amazing. The balcony is a highlight, where you can see dolphins and other wildlife in the ocean. I would highly recommend a stay here, hire bikes if you can as it was a really fun way to explore the area.

Great Location
by Lavaca AR
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Perfect location for our 1st visit to this area of Florida, right on the beach, views were 2nd to none, dolphins in the morning, patio was small but big enough for us, private and quiet (April 15th week). Quiet and secure, lots of space easy access gated entry. Elevator was nice, Beach access was great, clean, new, about 5 flights of stairs to get down to the beach but easy private access! Unit inside could use some upgrades - no blinds on the main living area, only unit in these building we saw with no privacy to the other units on the LR windows? Furniture was well used - worked for us but i would have expected a bit more comfort, pool was nice, but only get's sun for a few hours between the buildings, and was like a wind tunnel during between the buildings, so factor that in, pool time is best between 11am and 2 pm only. Refrigerator placement was not good doors do not open all the way, toaster only toasted on once side of the bread? just some odds and ends that could have been easily corrected to make this place perfect - price was good, easy access to about anything up and down 30A. Management company very responsive, we didn't have the gate code upon arrival but didn't take long at all to get corrected. I would stay here again, but i'd like to see some investment inside this particular unit by the owner.

Amazing peaceful location!!
by Scottsville Ky
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a wonderful time at Monterey B301! The beach and pool were never crowded. My children enjoyed playing on the grassy area in front of the condo, and the pool bathrooms were super convenient. The proximity to the beach and closeness of all on 30A was fabulous. Benchmark was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again!

We love the size, decor and location! We had a wonderful stay. There is one chair in living area that needs to be replaced, upholstery dirty and it rocks back too far.

Perfect
by Benton AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Perfect location. I loved the furniture and the kitchen. It was so relaxing.
If I had to pick 1 thing that I would change, it would just to add curtains to the side windows (2) of the building where the other condo could see in.
We had an issue with the dryer not working but maintenance came the next morning in less than 12 hours and fixed it.
I will be staying here again!

We rented multiple condos for our entire family. We ranged in age from 1-91 and everyone had a great time. The location was perfect, beach access amazing, and the condos were well maintained and very comfortable. I hope to come back soon!

Late December in 30A
by Pegram TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This condo was great for our family. The views to the beach and gulf are wonderful, the elevator is fast and it only services 8 units so its always available. 3 Bedrooms with a bunk closet slept 2 fam's and the grandparents easily and everyone has their own bathroom. This part of Seacrest Beach is our favorite and is less crowded than most of 30a. Your a short walk to Alys and Rosemary. We would stay here again.

Clean and beautifully decorated
by Ron and Linda K.
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We just spent a week at Monterey, Unit B301 and loved the view and location. Close enough for convenience but a lovely private location away from the crowd and a private gate to the parking area. Everyday we woke to a beautiful ocean view with access to the balcony from both the living room and master bedroom. The balcony overlooked the ocean and what a pleasure! The beach was easily accessible with a lovely pool if you didn't want to go to the beach. A very clean and beautifully decorated unit with comfortable furniture. We would definitely book this unit again!

The view is the show stopper!!
by Margaret and Michael C.
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We recently stayed at the Monterey, unit B301, and had an amazing time. The condo is airy with lots of light and updated furnishings and appliances. It is within walking distance from restaurants and shops. The view from the balcony is the show stopper however!! You can hear the roar of the ocean and see the sun coming up in the morning and setting at night. It’s also a great place for coffee and cocktails and is especially nice that the beach can be accessed without having to cross a road. It’s literally out your back door!! My husband and I would highly recommend renting this unit. We’re sure you would enjoy it as much as we did.
