A relaxing day on the beach surrounded by soft powdery sand, swaying oats and the soothing sun ... if that sounds good to you then this 1st-floor Gulf-front condo is the perfect getaway. Emerald Hill 5 sleeps up to 4 with a king bedroom and queen sofa sleeper.

You'll love being able to walk right out the patio doors and step onto the beautiful green space framing the views of the Gulf. This makes a great spot for a picnic or for the kids to play, before heading down do the beach and soaking up the sun. Take a well deserved break by the pool while reading your favorite book. There are plenty of loungers and tables with umbrellas.

Emerald Hill 5 is a perfect escape and only a short walk or bike ride to nearby shops, restaurants and famous Seaside.

Very nice stay including Hurricane.EH exterior has been redone well-fresh coating, new Sliding Glass doors, new grass & dunes in great shape. Unit is clean but feels corporate. Improvements needed-1. only 1 outside patio lounge-need another chair,2.Need more dishes-make them plastic-including glasses, wine glasses, plates so they don't break or you could take to beach.3. Coffee maker on last legs. was tough-no networks hard to figure out what was free-just use ATT or Spectrum. 5.Need a shower mat or bath mat.6.Need more standard pillows.7. Very nice dealing with office on hurricane-lots of updates and fair if we had to evacuate. 8.Initial email communications with staff was slightly intimidating, like getting extra parking if someone visited and cleanup extras and being late extras, beach tags, etc, but after we got there, we realized it was business as usual and easy. We are 80 now and have been coming to EH since late 1980's (my company built in 1983)so we are oversensitive and we do not damage or abuse units, but I cannot imagine all of the types of people who damage units, etc. that you have to deal with so we do understand. We dealt with "Seagrove by the Beach" realty for so many years and that was just a little easier and friendlier, but we do understand VRBO is now the thing and is new to us. I want EH to always succeed because we built it and we will come back again soon and probably same unit-this is just constructive criticism. Overall-really pretty good vacation on beautiful beach and we had a nice time including Hurricane Helene. The general area of Seagrove, Seaside, Watercolor, etc. in unbeatable and EH allows you to look out window right at the gulf and beaches are best. We ate at Surfing Deer & Wine Bar at Watercolor, we shopped at Sea Side, we got fresh fish from Goat Feathers and I ran every day on great bike bath along 30A. Incredible area for a vacation.

Great place on 30A

Location is perfect, so close to beach, and many restaurants. First time renting with Benchmark, they provided great customer service. Will definitely use them in the future. Perfect size for couples, beach beautiful and not crowded. Great place to watch sunset.

Location was great! Right on the beach. Bathtub needs replacing. It's old and stained so much so that we only took showers. Did not want to sit in the tub! Bed was very comfortable. We didn't see any roaches inside the unit but there were many roaches in the entryway to the unit. There was standing water on the walkway to our unit probably about a couple inches deep. That needs to be addressed. Unit was well-stocked with pots and pans, however there were only 4 plates, coffee cups, flatware, etc. So we had to wash dishes and cups several times a day. We had a lot of trouble with the tv and had to call Benchmark about that. They helped me reset everything, but it went right back to giving us trouble. Also, the Wifi setting did not work with the info on the card in the unit. We had to call about that too and it was a completely different sign-on and password they gave me. It worked after that. Overall, it's a nice place in an awesome location and we would stay there again.

Manager's Response

Thank you for staying with us! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location. We appreciate your feedback regarding the bathtub and apologize for any inconvenience it caused. It is great to know that you found the bedding comfortable, as your comfort is our top priority.

We have passed your concerns about pests and standing water to the appropriate parties. Thank you for your input on the kitchen utensils; we strive to keep our kitchens well-stocked, and we would have been happy to provide additional items if you had reached out during your stay.

We also apologize for the television issue and want to assure you that our team is working on a permanent solution to prevent this from happening in the future. We’re glad we could assist you with the Wi-Fi information as well.

Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better vacation experience!

My wife and I decided to take a last minute long weekend and this property did not disappoint! It was just what we needed. Location and getting to and from the beach could not be beat. We only have a couple of suggestions. Upgrades in bedding (mattress / pillows) and basic kitchen / cooking supplies (esp a new coffee pot!) and this place would be our go to every time. 4.5 ⭐️

Manager's Response

We love this place and have stayed several times! However this time there was repair work going on next door which resulted in loud drilling all day. We did call Benchmark and since they do not manage every property in EH, they can not prevent this from happening. The only thing that could use a little TLC is the bathroom, everything else is very accommodating. This unit really is the PERFECT place...steps from the beach!
Benchmark is super to work with, the prep emails and app were so helpful! Already looking forward to our next stay :)

Manager's Response

Shannon,

We will pass along the need for some extra TLC to this property in hopes to improve the overall stay of any future guest. We hope you choose to stay with us again at Benchmark Management, we are glad to have you!
Sincerely, Benchmark Management.

The location was perfect. Right on the beach. However, the condo was a bit outdated. It could use a little TLC with the addition of new furniture and better furniture on the outside patio.

Manager's Response

Catie,
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with condition of the unit and the furniture. The property is the perfect location as it is centrally positioned and close to everything, including some of the area’s most popular state parks. We’ve already passed along your comments and are working diligently to make updates. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a great beach vacation.

Everything was fine! I took cleaner w/me & cleaned all of the surfaces in kitchen & bathroom. No bugs & that was great! The scariest thing happened on Thursday afternoon when I was reading while lying on the lounge on the patio. A
Movement caught my eye......on the ground.......& a 4’ black snake slithered out onto the walk way & headed into bushes on the other side of the walk way. This was 3-4 feet from where I was lounging!! I dashed across the street to Benchmark office but what could they do? Afterwards I stayed indoors!
It definitely put a damper on the week!

Overall it was fine. There are several issues needing to be addressed. Unit needs a deep cleaning. Sweeping or vacuuming floor isn't cleaning. When you walk 15 minutes barefoot on floor and your feet area black, not a good thing. Toilet, bathroom fixtures need better cleaning. Just some time needs to be spent. Outside/inside LARGE ANTS come at night. Issue needs to be dealt within ground/flowerbed. On good side unit is well updated (except master comforter and pillows). Beautiful view and access to beach. Would I stay here again? Yes Would I appreciate time and cleaning to unit? Greatly. At the rates we are paying for a 1bd/1ba it should be spotless. I think the owners should stay in their units occasionally to see issues.

Benchmark Management was very detailed in all aspects of renting. From the time we booked, to the time we left the rental, Benchmark kept us up to date on all the details needed for payment, access to the unit, if we had any problems during our stay and how to check out. We also used the Rent Gear credit for bike rentals for the week. Rent Gear made everything very easy as they dropped off our bikes and picked them up when we were done using them. It was a very hassle free vacation. We did have a problem with our units cable. We contacted Benchmark and the next day we had maintenance come to fix problem. The condition of the condo was clean and pretty well kept up for a rental. The patio screen door was missing a roller so it would not track to open the screen door.

Manager's Response

We're so glad that your needs were met during your stay at Emerald Hill 5. Please come again!

Was disappointed when a ‘maintenance’ person came in the door while my wife was in the condo. I would expect a phone call or text to my cell phone saying a maintenance person was going to come into the unit. That was a bit upsetting.

Manager's Response

Roy,

Thank you for leaving a review! We try our best to keep our guests in the loop when we will be out to the property and are very sorry that you slipped through the cracks! We attempted to wait until the day of departure so that we didn't disturb your stay, but got there a little too early. We hope that you still enjoyed your stay and will give us another chance for a perfect vacation!

Thank you,
Benchmark Management.
