by Maryville TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Had a great vacation. House very nice and pool just steps from house. Only drawback was getting 4 small kids to beach having to walk a block down very busy hwy 30A. Rented golf cart to remedy this issue.

Great house so close to everything!
by Atlanta GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Wonderful home- plenty of space for everyone. Super close to 30A and Tom Thumb (very handy!). Beds very comfy. Would recommend black out curtains- is super bright in the AM (ok if a morning person). We didn't find the noise of 30A an issue. The beach access is private across the street so you do have to walk about 1/4 mile down to Tom Thumb OR the big high rise Condo to access beach.
Response from Benchmark Management
Jennifer, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Baum's Away and found it spacious and comfortable. Your feedback about blackout curtains is valuable, as it helps future guests prepare for their stay. It sounds like the location was convenient for your needs, and we appreciate you sharing information about the beach access.
If you have any specific questions or if there's anything else you'd like assistance with regarding your stay or future vacation plans, feel free to let us know. We are here to help!
We hope to welcome you back soon for more sunsets on the beach!

Great beach stay!
by Macon GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our group consisted of three families, and this home was perfect for that. The kids had a blast bunking together and the three master bedrooms (each with a bathroom) worked well for the parents. The home is just a short walk to the beach, and steps from the community pool. The only rating below in which I did not give five stars was general condition because the pots and pans need to be replaced, but that is a minor gripe, and I would definitely stay here again.

Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us! Baum's Away on 30A is a beautiful home in the highly sought-after Magnolia Dune community in Seagrove Beach with views of the Gulf of Mexico! This home is a wonderful, family-friendly vacation rental that includes Gulf views and is steps from the generous community pool. Located just a short walk from the gorgeous, white-sanded beaches, you’re less than a 5-minute walk to the emerald water of Seagrove Beach for the beach vacation you've been needing! We're so happy to hear that you had a great vacation, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Beautiful views from the top deck! Perfect location!
by Mahtomedi MN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Baum's Away was the perfect rental for our group of four. Clean, beautiful and location, location! We wish we had a larger group, as we left so much of the expansive home untouched. After extensive research in the area, staying in Seagrove gave us access to the hustle and bustle of Seaside...along with Seacrest, Alys Beach, and other adorable communities nearby...plus the tranquility of returning to our peaceful home at the end of the day. I chose this rental because of the ocean view and the beach access (without the price), just a quick walk across 30A and a block down. There and several great restaurants within walking distance, and Tom Thumb is a block away for any last minute things you forgot. The bonus was the credit towards the backpack beach chairs which held our water and snacks for our times on the beautiful white sands of Seagrove Beach. At the end of the day we would return to the refreshing pool for a little down time before going to dinner. The kitchen had all we needed. It would be wonderful if you added beach towels, as we ended up buying some. But all in all, we were totally in heaven during our stay. I would love to return and bring the whole family! Thanks for your communication and help booking our stay.

Great Choice!
by Arlington NE
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Baum's away is a great home with a great location on 30A! It was spacious, comfortable and plenty of room with our group of 9. Easy access to the pool, beach, and donut shop. Minutes away from Seaside and The Hub. We enjoyed the accommodations and would consider staying here again. Right next to 30A so quite busy to for beach access with small children. Traffic is loud and bank lighting is quite bright in the bedrooms. Overall great home, but limited amenities (could use some hot pads and kitchen towels in the kitchen).

Overall, great place.
by Tulsa OK
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Baum's Away is a super nice, super clean, and very spacious house. It is great proximity to the beach, restaurants and shops. The only caveat to this house is, it’s on the 30A, the first house to the entrance of the neighborhood. I wouldn't recommend it to light sleepers or families with young children that do not sleep well. If you can get passed the noise, go for it! We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely book again. Seagrove beach is much less crowded and Seaside. We used the public beach access next to Legacy Condos. Beach service is available there for $50 day, if you don't want to carry your own stuff. There's a pool, which a nice change from the ocean, with plenty of loungers. Overall, great place!

Baum's Away was "the bomb"!
by Sugar Land TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a wonderful experience. The house was immaculate. The beds all had great mattresses - all 6 of us sleep well every night - including the lower bunk beds. Location was terrific - only .2 miles from public beach access - very easy walk. Great walking distance to a couple of great restaurants and shaved ice. On our drive back Texas, we were already organizing dates to return next year!

We loved our stay at Baum's Away. The house is in a great location, is pristine and has everything we needed for our family. The king beds were great and comfortable and the twin beds and bunks were so much fun for our kiddo. Would definitely recommend and go back to.

Lovely Getaway
by Franklin TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Beautiful home that was perfectly described and lived up to our expectations. Spacious rooms, loved all of the king beds and big fully stocked kitchen.
Home is right off the main highway and close to the pool and beach entrance, great location! Because it is on the main drag it is next to a bank with very bright lights which are hard at night. Needs some blackout curtains which is my only suggestion.
