The property description was very accurate. We loved the house and the pool! Everything was clean and worked. We agree with previous reviewers that some of the mattresses need to be replaced now(both upstairs beds)! And definitely pack beach towels! The starter kits provided were perfect until we could shop for what we needed the day after arrival. There were some pool and beach toys, games and a pack&play that were unexpected and great to have for 2 toddlers and 6 adults. The location was perfect for us! The neighborhood was quiet and the beach access was very close by. Benchmark was responsive whenever we contacted them. They had the pool heated (extra fee) in advance of our arrival and replaced a faulty smoke alarm that went off during our stay. The included golf cart was great. Only thing missing was bikes, which we rented at The Big Chill.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, William! We are delighted to hear that you loved the house, pool, and location, and that everything was clean and in good working order. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the mattresses, and we will certainly take that into consideration for future improvements. We are glad the starter kits provided were helpful upon your arrival and that the additional items like the pool and beach toys, games, and pack-and-play made your stay even more enjoyable. It is wonderful to know that the golf cart and beach access contributed to a great experience for your group. We agree, the neighborhood is indeed very peaceful! Thank you for mentioning how responsive we were during your stay, and we are happy we were able to assist promptly. While we do not provide bikes, we are glad you found a rental option at The Big Chill. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Sincerely, Benchmark Management

House was clean and spacious. Checking in and out was easy. Location to the beach was an easy walk but getting up the steps from the beach can be difficult for those with health conditions or elderly. If we had known there were so many steps we would have stayed elsewhere due to a family member having trouble climbing them. The queen mattresses in 2 of the bedrooms need to be replaced. Main bedroom’s mattress was perfect. Pool turned green on Wednesday and was not cleaned until Friday. Pool guy said it always does when it rains. He probably needs to come twice a week when rainy. Patio and grill area was great. Did not see any beach services so had to bring chairs/umbrella to beach. Rental credit for those items was appreciated. Definitely spacious enough for everyone to spread out.

Manager's Response

Kenneth,
We thank you for staying with us at The Palms this July! We are sorry to know that we let you down in areas of property condition. If you can provide us with details next time, we would be happy to listen and help where we are able and could pass along those comments to the owners so we can work towards getting updates. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation.

Great House

This house was really great! It accommodated our two families wonderfully (4 adults, 7 kids). It was such a great location with an easy bike ride into The Hub or to Alys/Rosemary. The beach access was extremely convenient as well. The access was directly across the street from the entrance to the neighborhood on 30A, and once you got there the walkway had a boardwalk and a shower at the top of the stairs to rinse sandy feet after a day at the beach. Some things that would improve the stay at the house would be more linens, towels, washcloths, blankets. Several of the beds only had a thin quilt, and we only found one extra blanket in entire five-bedroom house. The house was clean, and Benchmark was great to work with! Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback. We are happy to hear that the size and location of this unit worked well for your family. The Hub is a favorite here in 30A, which makes this unit location even better. We appreciate your suggestions and will move them along to the Property Managers to resolve these issues. We enjoyed hosting you and we look forward to having you back in the future.

Management company was great, very helpful. The location here was very convenient to beach access and central location between Destin and PCB. The pool area is very private and offers shade. Just be prepared as there are no beach towels and no basics (salt, pepper, cooking spray, coffee filters, etc) offered to start with

We recently stayed at the 9 Palms location. The house was great. We had plenty of room for our large family. The kitchen was well stocked. I would recommend adding some more silverware. We seemed to run out all the time. The main bedrooms were very nice size and the master suite was gorgeous. All the beds were very comfortable. Benchmark Management was excellent to work with. We had an issue with a shower and they were there within 30 minutes to fix. The only issue that I feel needs to be addressed is the main bathroom plumbing. Maintenance came out and a plumber but the issue was not totally fixed. All in all is was a wonderful time with our family. I would definitely stay here again.

Manager's Response

Carol,
We thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. It is great to hear that your family was able to enjoy the wonderful and spacious accommodations that 9 Palms has to offer! We appreciate you communicating issues with us so we could promptly resolve them for you. We are thrilled to report we have since been able to fully attend to the plumbing issues that have been reported by a few guests. We can't wait to have you all back for yet another 5-star beach vacation!

The property from a cosmetic perspective was great. However, as it was documented from my calls/texts to benchmark we did have some issues: First, water pressure was bad for the first three days, plumber came out and found out main was not fully engaged. Multiple toilets had plumbing issues, however the 1st floor bath next to the living room never would flush correctly and even after multiple plumber visits couldn't be resolved. The master toilet had a cracked seat (you can imagine what that can do) and never was fixed duirng my stay. The pool was dirty upon arrival, BM did get it cleaned ahead of the normal schedule (thank you). We had to take out ALL (and I mean all) garbage from the back left by either previous tenant or someone...was gross (magits, ripped bags, needed gloves to pick up, bad odors), one of my sons was nausious from it...Again very nice place that could have been better prepared for us, and definitely has some plumbing issues that need to be addressed. We love BM and will continue to use them for future vacations. Also would stay here again if all items were resolved.

Manager's Response

Michelle,
We thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We appreciate you keeping in contact throughout your stay to discuss issues and give us the opportunity to mend them. We are glad we were able to resolve some of them quickly, but have since got the plumbing issues fully resolved. We do apologize about the trash outdoors and definitely could have had someone come back out to assist with that, but you very kindly handled that and just reported it to us. We understand the frustration regarding these issues, but know we are always here to help in any way we are able to. We hope we can welcome you back in the future for a chance to offer a 5-star stay to your family.

Very nice and clean. The only thing I would change would be the description in the details of bathrooms. They were not clear. 6 adults on the main floor had to use one bathroom that was located in the master bedroom. It is 3 bedrooms on the floor and again only 1 full bathroom located in the master bedroom. Not good but we managed.

Hi Cheri,

Thank you for the review of 9 Palms. We were honored to have you and are so humbled by your
