Family Christmas Vacation 2023
by Signal Mtn TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We love staying on 30A. We have family with a home in Magnolia Cottages so booked based on location and proximity (a 5-7min drive) from your home. Unfortunately due to reconstruction of the Watersound Bridge it took over 30min to reroute to gather for meals or go between homes. It would have been nice to have known of this in advance.
The home location and view is excellent, the home is a bit older and in need of some repairs and updates. It has plenty of space and easily accommodated our family, but we arrived and the heat was not working in the basement master bedroom level. Your maintenance team had it fixed it the next day, but we had to reconfigure sleeping the initial night to accommodate as it was in the upper 40's to 50's. Perhaps something that should be checked in advance during cooler weather. The home could use a deep clean. We are not extremely picky, but glassware, pans, dishes were not clean and were rather dusty. We tend to cook in more than many, and hosted our Christmas dinner and had a hard time with the oven maintaining a consistent heat for our standing rib roast. It is fine for quick meals or reheating not ideal for extensive cooking. We did enjoy having a large table and the patio screened in table to accommodate our guests so that was a plus.
Again, the location alone is what is great about this place, its a bit rustic, but has amazing views of the lake and ocean and is on a quiet street with 2 beautiful beach access areas within 250-400 yards. A few upgrades, paint, replacement of some deck boards, will go a long way to improving the overall experience. We would possibly return for location alone.

Loved the house and location! It does need the stove and some doors replaced.
You can’t beat the view of the lake from the living room so this makes this home the best one our family has stayed in the Seagrove area!

The location of this property is amazing, short walk to the beach, we caught several fish from the dock (Spanish mackerel, pompano, crabs, black snapper and tons of smaller fish I’m not sure what was) the only downfall to the house was it needs some updates for example only a couple of the burners worked on the stove, the ice machine in the refrigerator only worked half way, the grill outside is filthy and only works halfway, blades broken in garbage disposal, furniture extremely outdated. Overall is a very nice house and we loved the stay.
Response from Benchmark Management

Family Vacation 2023
by Clinton TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
The overall stay was great and the location was fantastic. The distance to the beach was a very short walk. We rented a Kayak with our complementary money for the lake out back. It was so much fun. The house is in an area that is great for bicycles.
The problem with the house was the deteriorating decking it needs to be replaced all around the house. We could not even use the lookout tower because the deck was unsafe. There needs to be pans in the kitchen for larger families and we had to buy an 8x10 to bake brownies. Two of the stove eyes do not work properly. The sliding glass doors in the dining area and the master bedroom were very hard to open. The little desk for the kids were a nice bonus for them to have a place to color.
With all of that being said, we had a wonderful vacation. The house is in a great location for shopping and dining. There are several good coffee, doughnut and smoothie shops near by.
The house could use some updates, but the location cannot be beat.
Response from Benchmark Management

This house was fantastic. I'd stay here again! Perfectly placed between the madness of Seaside and the insanity of Rosemary (so my kids could visit friends in both places) but quiet and out of the fray.

Most charming beach house on the entire block!
by N/A CO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Friends and family really enjoyed our stay at All's Well in the Seaside area. We had privacy, no neighbors on either side. We had a gorgeous view out the large front windows overlooking Eastern Lake, a fascinating dune lake with geological significance. Be sure and learn about these interesting lakes all along the panhandle. We had an easy one block walk to a lovely public beach access and to amazing sunset views. The house is older but with a real old Florida beach house charm. Plenty of room for groups of people. We loved it. We had an active fisherwoman in our group and she was able to catch a nice big Red Fish out of the lake, from her kayak! Made for a delicious supper one night. Enjoy All's Well. You won't be disappointed. Communications with the company was excellent.

We stayed at All’s Well in Seagrove Beach. This is the second time we rented All’s Well. It is an older rental, but you can’t beat the location, lakefront, ocean views and great sunsets. We thoroughly enjoyed both our first and second stays at All’s Well and plan to stay there again soon!!

The location is just amazing. Steps from the beach. The house is big and comfortable but need a lot of help on the furniture department. Also, needs to be clean deeper. The management service is outstanding. Will be back for sure.

Great Vacation
by Lilburn GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The house was older and could use updating. We were fine with that. Excellent view of the lake and a small view of the gulf. Close proximity to the beach via walking or watercraft. We loved the screened in porch and deck. Easy access to the water from the dock. Convenient storage for kayaks and paddle boards. Initially there was no wifi. Benchmark was quickly responsive but it took 3 visits to get consistent wifi. Mediacom came Friday to replace/update equipment as needed. Our only other issue was the housekeeping. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Even though the washable surfaces were clean there was a lot of dust on the mantle and window sills, dog hair around and under the sofas ( I realize this is a dog friendly house and we brought a dog) and under the porch table. The white railing going down stairs was dirty with use. Some of these things I might not have been so aware of if Benchmark hadn't alerted me to the extra efforts to clean and sanitize they were implementing because of the virus. Over all, everything was good. I compliment Benchmark in their prompt response to issues. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for 6 weeks and really liked it. Location is great and the lake is so beautiful, and peaceful. It is a comfortable and cosy spot in the world.
We plan to return soon.
Response from Benchmark Management
Thank you for the review! All's Well is in a great location off of 30A far enough away to enjoy the peace and quite but close enough that you do not have to drive far to enjoy events on 30A.

The house was great. It was spacious and comfortable. We will definitely be back. We only had two difficulties. First of all the wifi was spotty when it worked and it usually didn't work. 2nd, several of the mattresses weren't very comfortable. Other than that, it was wonderful.

We stayed a week at All's Well and loved it! My children and grandchildren had a ball. The drove the kayaks from the lake to the beach every day. The place was clean and nice. The decks were great to sit on during the early morning and evening...unless we were catching crabs! We plan on coming back year.

9 of us stayed Husband/Wife, 3 sons, daughter, Grandpa/Grandma, & other Grandpa House had more than enough room for us! Lake is literally steps away. Back deck has steps down to the dock. See the sunset on the beach from your huge open living room area. Kids fished and caught over 30 pinfish on our first day. Not a long walk at all to the beach on a very, very quiet street. My boys range from 17-12 and I let them walk to and from the beach with no worries. Pier Park in Panama City is around 30 minutes away and is the best area for your big restaurants and Wal-Mart. Had an issue on the first evening where there was a small bees nest under the deck at the lake. Company took care of it first thing the next morning. I rated 5 stars for a reason. This place has it all. Beach is close, lake is close, bike and kayak rental place will deliver to you and it's not expensive. Very clean! Caught lots of pinfish and even a redfish in the lake. Pic is a sunset from the crows nest.

It was myself and my spouse, my parents, and my daughter and her fiancé'. We stayed a full week. This home was great for the guys, as the dock to the lake was used frequently for fishing. They caught fish and crabs. It was a short walk to the beach, and the water was crystal clear. The house was great and very spacious and clean. We had a blast making memories here! Thank you!
