The location was very private and across the street from a wonderful place to shop and eat. Walking distance to the beach and even closer with the bikes that were available to us. The fridge was very slow to make ice so I recommend to bring bags of your own ice. had all the convenience of home! ##### Cheyenne S.

Reviewer Comments: We booked a midweek to Sunday vacation right before school. The management and phone reps were amazing and were able to accommodate us at the last minute. The property was well maintained and matched the description online. The pictures online don't really accurately describe how spacious the property really is. The bedrooms are really big! The master bedroom was huge! The property was meant to host large groups and because of that there was understandably a little wear and tear...nothing out of the ordinary and nothing that affected our stay or the quality of our stay. I would highly recommend this property and we would love to book it again! ##### A guest from Newburgh, IN Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald P. 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place to stay!! The property is beautiful and very close to the beach and community pool. The pool on the house is very small and the are around it needs some attention. The grass is overgrown and the furniture just needs to be wiped down. The check-in process was smooth, but with a 4pm check-in, you don't have a lot of time to check for issues. I called to report an issue at 4:25, but had to leave a voicemail. They called back at 5:05, but told me it was after-hours and the issue would have to be addressed the next day. It felt like that was done intentionally. Other than the first-day issue with the grill and the broken ironing board, everything else was wonderful. ##### Gerald P.

Reviewer Comments: We sincerely enjoyed our 7 weeks at 139 N. Ryan and would stay there again for the right price. The location is just perfect for us and our needs and we like the private, neighbor street so close to everything. However, the house has a few shortcomings, several of which were immediately fixed by Benchmark. Would like a few improvements including fixing the dryer correctly, fixing the dish washer correctly and new king mattress, both sagged terribly. The house would be perfect otherwise. ##### Ed M.

Loved the experience. Benchmark Management gets 5 stars, too. They stay in touch with you from the time you get there until you leave. The 3 bedrooms on the second floor were very private.

Reviewer Comments: We love the house, but the dishwasher has still not been fixed from last year. This year we just did not bother because no one came last year to fix it. It is irritating but would not stop us from renting the house again. The kitchen is well equipped, the little pool is great to have, and the grandkids (8 and 12) love it, as do the adults. ##### Larry R.

Good proximity to the beach and downtown. Entrance and exit through the gate should have been made available but wasn’t. Loved the bikes and easy accessibility with them. We were missing the beach access fobs and it took a bit of time to reach someone and get them delivered. Although the water on the door of the refrigerator was broken, the ice worked. Would definitely be on our list to consider for a future vacation. ##### Randy F.

Reviewer Comments: Very clean, pool was nice Add on, not very big but fine for our use. Tv and AC good. Kitchen problem area but very fixable. No sauce pans but plenty of lids, fry pans have been trashed, only small omelet pan. No storage containers. Kurig was left with old standing moldy water, emptied, did not use. Frig and freezer missing a shelf. WiFi fine except for third floor bunk room. Bikes a nice touch. Pool area could be fresher up, get rid of the table and chairs, add lounge chairs. For distance from beach and overall house and age, believe it’s priced at the very top of its market value. Had a great week, would consider again but not at increased price. ##### Peter L.

Reviewer Comments: We had a great time with our family. It is a great house, but needs a few things fixed. The blanket that was folded and laying across the end of our bed was dirty (fortunately we did not need it). The dishwasher tray wheels are bent and need to be fixed and someone before us ruined both frying pans, so they need to be replaced. We went and bought our own to use for the week. Otherwise, the kitchen is well stocked. I called about the dishwasher on Sunday night, but the person that answered appears to have not reported it. We call about something else (forgot to mention the dishwasher) and received an immediate response. The white chair covers on the dining room table chairs could use a good washing. This house is still a really good family house and we have been renting this house every year it was available for the week our family's scheduled all worked out so we could all go. We will rent it again next year. One suggestion, we really liked the fobs for pool and beach entrance and security, but this house needs one more, especially when 10-12 people are there. ##### Larry R. From a partner site ### 2/10 Terrible #### Erica M. 13 Jul 2023 #### Disappointed! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house needs some updating.The cost of the home does not match the upkeep. Regarding cleanliness, towels were on the stairs when we arrived. A bathing suit in one of the bedroom’s drawers. The master bath flooring is not appropriately sealed. The furniture in the house needs to be updated. The drawer in the dresser in the master bedroom fell out when I tried to open it. The kitchen did not have a complete measuring cup set and more cups than glassware.The neighborhood and area are not welcoming to people of color. My son and his friends were called the N-word and a bear, by a group of Caucasians, while biking. The first night we arrived, we did not realize the fob opens the walkthrough gate that takes you to the main road. This led to us having to use the front-non-gated entrance. This was on the opposite end of the street from our house. On the way back, there was a Caucasian family that walked through the gate. We asked if he could let us in and he closed the gate in our face and said if you don’t have a key, you are not getting in. We discovered that the fob opens the gate. The next day at the beach, a Caucasian family came without their fob and asked us to let them in. We did because that’s the kind thing to do. The pool guys came to do whatever they do to the pool and did not say anything to us. They left the water running in the pool without telling us, and it almost overflowed. We were in the house, and a simple knock on the door to say we are cleaning the pool and leaving the water running to refill would have sufficed. This is just a few of the many racist encounters we had! We will not return to this area of 30A! ##### Erica M. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Larry R. 13 Jul 2023 #### Beach Vacation June 17-24, 2023 Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time with our family. It is a great house, but needs a few things fixed. The blanket that was folded and laying across the end of our bed was dirty (fortunately we did not need it). The dishwasher tray wheels are bent and need to be fixed and someone before us ruined both frying pans, so they need to be replaced. We went and bought our own to use for the week. Otherwise, the kitchen is well stocked. I called about the dishwasher on Sunday night, but the person that answered appears to have not reported it. We call about something else (forgot to mention the dishwasher) and received an immediate response. The white chair covers on the dining room table chairs could use a good washing. This house is still a really good family house and we have been renting this house every year it was available for the week our family's scheduled all worked out so we could all go. We will rent it again next year. One suggestion, we really liked the fobs for pool and beach entrance and security, but this house needs one more, especially when 10-12 people are there. ##### Larry R. From a partner site ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephanie B. 12 Oct 2022 #### Disappointed by Management Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a disappointing experience. There was a hole in the ceiling of the kitchen where work was clearly being done. On our second (of 3) afternoon at the house, water started dripping through the hole into the kitchen. We immediately contacted Benchmark, via phone and text. We heard back about an hour later that maintenance would be coming shortly. Maintenance or management never showed or followed up to address the issue. We had to continue to deal with the leaking water for the duration of our trip. Since the leaking area was already exposed with a hole in the drywall of the ceiling, the leak was clearly a known issue. It was disappointing that Benchmark did not resolve this before our stay or even follow through with helping us during our stay. ##### Stephanie B.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sheets were dirty with hairs in them. The oven wasn't functioning. They let us know before we arrived. They brought us a toaster oven to cook for eight people. They said they would send a repairman and never did. The bathroom floors were dirty, counter tops also. ##### Lisa W.

Reviewer Comments: We booked this property for our family of 6 adults and 1 toddler. The space was great, plenty of room to spread out. It was very clean, had a well appointed kitchen and plenty of towels. The neighborhood was quiet and very attractive. The walk to the beach was a bit of a haul but we managed fine. Wonderful home to rent for a family. ##### Bev Y. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candy M. 12 Apr 2022 #### 2022 Spring Break Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and layout of the house worked very well for us. Being at the end of the street you have a little more privacy. We spent more time at the heated pool at the house than the beach. The house was very clean - kudos to the cleaning service! All communication with Benchmark was great and the app was helpful. We truly enjoyed the house and would book again. ##### Candy M. ---
