Great Location
by Bloomington IN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Location and ease of parking were great, check-in was seamless. The unit looked nice, kitchen was well-stocked with equipment, furniture was comfortable. I was surprised that the unit wasn't a bit cleaner since it was at the very beginning of the summer vacation season. Our biggest issue is that the unit smelled terribly of mildew/mold and a black substance was visible in the vents. I grabbed someone in the on-site office one day who came up and validated the smell and sprayed something in the vents. However, it didn't work and attempts to contact Benchmark led to nothing (called and spoke to someone who placed a ticket; I also texted their service number). The balcony was really nice and had plenty of space for us; we really enjoyed sitting and enjoying the water view! This room is right over the pool, but we didn't notice excessive noise from that. I would definitely stay in the BeachCrest building again.
Response from Benchmark Management
Brittany, Thank you so much for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed the view, furniture and the stocked kitchen. As far as cleanliness, we sincerely apologize. BeachCrest Team has been working very close with house keeping and seeing great improvements. Unfortunately, sometimes previous guest leave slider doors open. After the storm, humidity was extremally high the week prior. We promise to get that issue resolved. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope you return to our beautiful beaches at BeachCrest.

Great location, a few issues
by Sandy Springs GA
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Beachcrest has become a favorite of ours due to quiet and convenient location in an otherwise bustling area.
Unit 601 is beautifully redone with "current" decor overall. The master bed was very comfortable as well as the sofas. There are some cleanliness issues such as black mold gunk in the bathroom sink faucets (don't drink!) and drain stoppers; the bathroom exhaust fans were so clogged with lint they barely worked; and you have to maneuver the front door deadbolt quite a bit if you want security. These items may or may not matter to you but be aware. (We did not notify Benchmark during stay about any of this as we didn't want to deal with maintenance in/out of the unit during our stay so we cleaned things as best we could for our purposes.)
There are not twin beds in room #2, as advertised. No matter to us but might matter to you. It's one bed.
Finally, the Vacayzen "benefit" has been a bust for us two years in a row now. They deliver bikes, one of two doesn't work, Vacayzen doesn't care and won't address. Hopefully Benchmark can influence their practices since you don't seem to have much option in how to use the allowance. Would be great if you could simply decline and have a credit to your stay or for use at a nearby restaurant or something of that nature.

Kimberly, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on Beachcrest, and your experiences with Benchmark. We are so glad our property has become a quiet and convenient location for you. Your insights are valuable as it helps us make improvements where needed. It's unfortunate to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered, and we would have loved the opportunity to rectify the situation had we have known. The BeachCrest 601 unit has a king bed in room one and a queen bed in bedroom two, and we have correctly advertised this on our website. We hope you continue to book with us in the future, so we can provide you with a true 5 -star experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Kind Regards, Benchmark Management

BeachCrest Vacation
by Pleasant Hill IA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our unit at BeachCrest was beautiful, updated, comfortable and clean. Our view from our balcony was gorgeous! The sunsets were spectacular! The heated pool was directly below us so watching our family enjoy the pool was easy. We were located within walking distance of town and many delicious places to eat. The unit was very quiet too. Any issues we had were taken care of immediately. I highly recommend Benchmark and BeachCrest.

Fabulous week at BeachCrest 601
by Little Rock AR
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo that we rented was perfect for our needs. We were able to cook when we wanted to, supplies were good. Our grandson was with us and enjoyed the convenience of the pool and beach. We were close to restaurants, fish market, beach shopping etc.
The beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. Plenty of towels and loved having beach chairs set out for us daily.
We have stayed at BeachCrest for two years in a row and would go back.
Response from Benchmark Management

Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to your return!

Could Not Ask For A Better Week
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We could not ask for a better week. We did have off and on rain, but the beach was beautiful, we enjoyed the pool. The condo was quite comfortable. I would prefer to have more available lighting connected to light switches. Also, fans were hard to control. Having to stand on bed or a chair to change fan speed is not convenient. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well supplied. All of the most important things were good! We would return to this condo again. This was our second summer to rent a condo at BeachCrest. Great location! Thank you to our hosts!

Wonderful December Beach Trip!
by Birmingham AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We travel to 30a often but this was our first “winter” vacation. It will not be out last! Beachcrest Condos were the perfect location and you cannot beat a heated pool! My kids loved swimming several times a day. The complex was kept super clean, with hand sanitizer locations all over common areas and the maintenance crew was out all day wiping down the elevator and other shared spaces. Our unit 601 was perfect, renovated and had a magnificent view of the gulf.

Rachel,
