GREAT VISIT
by Memphis TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT - WATER, BEACH AND WEATHER.
THE CONDO WAS VERY NICE - ONE OF THE NICER CODOS I HAVE RENTED FROM BENCHMARK. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A CHAISE LOUNGE CHAIR.

Was very nice with personalized touches. Views were spectacular and very convenient location. Was pleased with the comfort and coziness of the condo. Was disappointed that chairs and umbrella were not included. We stayed at Monterey last year and that condo included vacayzan credit as well as chairs and umbrella. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking but the pans -cookie sheets- are well past their prime. Definitely need to replace a few items!!! Pool was great- property nice. Beds comfortable. TVs very up to date and nice. Decorated so cute. Lots of seating. Loved the balcony the most and the upscale outdoor furniture. Good place.
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation! We apologize for the changes with the credit for chairs. We will pass the message along regarding the pans! The balcony is definitely a key part to this condo! We hope to have you back real soon!

Blue Skies, Clear Water

We love the area of Inlet Beach.There are no high rise
buildings, so it's less crowded. The beach was beautiful with blue and green water. We hung out in our beach chairs all day, walked the beach and relaxed.
Response from Benchmark Management
James, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are so very happy to hear that you and your family had such a nice time here in 30A. The beaches in 30A are quite stunning year-round, but we agree the fall is quite hard to beat. We are thrilled that this unit and the location of this unit worked out well for you. We enjoyed hosting you and your family and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
Thank you,
Guest Relations

Seacrest serenity
by Prosper TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This condo is in a fabulous location on a quiet strip of 30A away from the traffic but close enough to be convenient for a lunch or dinner out if so desired. The condo’s layout comfortably housed our two families, including 5 kids, without feeling cramped, and the bonus bunks in the hallway are genius! We enjoyed every meal on the balcony overlooking the beautiful emerald waters. We will definitely be back!
Response from Benchmark Management

Overall a beautiful condo
by Birmingham AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was beautiful. We only had a few issues. The first one is that the elevator did not work from the first floor. This was an issue when unloading the car with luggage and groceries and going to the 4th floor. Secondly, it would be beneficial to have some kind of cart to take your luggage to your room. Lastly, we had an issue with roaches. I saw where they were supposed to spray on a regular schedule but there was a roach problem.
Response from Benchmark Management
Martha,
Thank you for reviewing your stay with us at Benchmark Management. We are glad to hear you thought the condo was beautiful, but we wanted to apologize for the problems you experienced. Our records show that we were never contacted regarding the bug issue within the property or the broken elevator. We recommend giving us a call if you encounter any problems while on your vacations, we would be glad to send our maintenance team out to assist. Regarding pest control, we do have our units sprayed quarterly, but will always contact pest service as quickly as possible if we receive reports between those scheduled sprays. We also will pass along your recommendation for luggage carts to be provided for guest use while staying at this condominium. We hope you consider booking with us again at Benchmark Management, we would be glad to have you.
Thank you,
UPDATE: We are pleased report that your feedbacks were heard and addressed. The curtains in the master bath were updated, refrigerator has be fixed, carpets were replaced, and pest control thoroughly went through and rid the home of all bugs. We can’t wait to see you for the best beach vacation!

Our Family Summer Vacation
by Franklin TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
This property was nicely laid out....kitchen a little small, not like the picture depicted--we had to put alot of things on counter. Rugs were a little dirty due to spots that had probably been cleaned and were just stained. Middle bathtub had a rusted stopper and drained very slowly. The gate in and out of the property got stuck three times--after
hours maintenance not available but we eventually got it opened. Loved the deck and everything else.
Response from Benchmark Management
Carole,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us at the Monterey Condos. We have passed your feedback along to our cleaning and maintenance teams so these items can be properly attended to. We apologize for the inconvenience of the gate issue, however this issue would have to be handled by the HOA as they control the entry gate. Thankfully that began working fine! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the lovely ocean-view deck. We hope we can welcome you back for an even better beach vacation next year!

Location on every level; 30A, the Condos, the Unit...
by Nashville TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
A truly memorable vacation in relation to location of the Monterey Condo and its
ambiance. Benchmark lived up to our expectations and beyond. The general condition of the property’s condition had 2 major flaws...the master bath had a
SHEER white curtain in the bathroom facing the close condos next to us. REALLY?
The 2nd, the refrigerator became ‘the elephant in the room’. Simply, replace it!
1 or 2 other minor things but overall, we loved it.
Response from Benchmark Management
Peggy,
Thank you for the review on your recent stay with us. We have relayed those comments to the property managers and owners of this unit, as we always look forward to upgrading our units. We have deep cleaned the fridge since your stay, so this should no longer be an issue. The salty air does cause rust on many appliances, but we do our best to keep them in good condition. We are happy to hear our management team exceeded your expectations, as we try to offer that experience to all guests. We hope to see you again in the future!
