Great stay! For the price and location, it was perfect! A little dated and a few minor tlc things are needed but the property was clean, parking was super easy, and access to the beach was great.

The rental was in good condition. Nice location, parking was good. Walking distance to food, drinks, convenience store/gas. It is an older unit and only a few cosmetic updates needed. Otherwise a great stay and we had a really good time.
We stayed at this property over Spring Break and loved it. It’s our second time staying here. The location is perfect. We walked to the square and restaurants. I highly recommend this property.
This property was absolutely amazing. The check-in process was super simple, the condo was extremely clean with updated furniture that looked amazing. The convenience of walking to the beach was perfect allowing us to easily transition the kids from the condo to the beach or back to the condo for lunch. The communication with the property manager was amazing and super simple and they were extremely responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to come to this area. My family and I will definitely stay here again.

Overall a nice stay.....good use a better master bedroom mattress for the cost of a nites stay....bunk mattresses were more comfy.....ice machine didnt work at all....and a box of tissues in the condo would be nice....CMON.....few other minor things could have been better for the price your charging

Beautiful area and Great location - condo was just the space my husband and I needed. Bathroom rugs need to be replaced is the only thing I feel that could be improved-and needs a fan in the bedroom.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palms! It was nice, clean, & a perfect location! The management company responded quickly when we needed batteries for the tv remote & frequently checked on us during our stay. The only issue is the living room tv. There is no type of cable service & we could only watch old tv rerun stations. They definitely need to update this because we encountered some rain during our stay. The bedroom tv was great with multiple channel programs. Overall, it was great!

Reviewer Comments:
Location is excellent & only a short walk to the beach, which was by far the best part of our stay. However, there are several issues prospective guests should be aware of.Building D is located behind Buildings A & C, so there are essentially no Gulf views. If a view is important to you, keep that in mind when booking.We were also disappointed to learn after the fact that complimentary attraction tickets were apparently included with our stay. This was never communicated by the management company, nor was there any mention of it on the check-in website. Had we known, we would have taken advantage of the benefit.Unfortunately, many of the concerns mentioned in reviews from previous years still appear to be unresolved. The condo is in serious need of updating. The bed was extremely worn and uncomfortable, to the point that my fiancée tried sleeping on the couch one night. The couches themselves were stained, dirty, and lacked any real cushion support. One even had what appeared to be a bloodstain. The throw pillows were flat and grimy, making the living room uncomfortable to use.The living room rug was heavily stained, and when the coffee table was moved, it was easy to see how much discoloration had occurred over time. The bathrooms also appeared very dated & the bathroom rug was so dirty that it was difficult to believe it had originally been white.What makes this frustrating is that the fixes seem relatively straightforward. New furniture, rugs, bedding, and some bathroom updates would dramatically improve the guest experience. For what we paid on a 4-night stay, they could make all the updates necessary with one booking.That said, the beach was absolutely fantastic, where we spent most of our time. With some much-needed updates, better communication about included perks, and amenities such as beach towels, bikes, and attraction tickets clearly provided, this property could be a great vacation option.

Lie #1 it was on the third floor instead of the 2nd floor so instead of 12 steps it was 32 and my husband ended up having heart problems. Lie #2 it was cleaned and ready, there were shorts in our room and dishes were gross. Lie #3 someone would get back to us and never did. There was other stuff but can't remember off hand.

Beautiful location. Great size 1 bedroom condo with nice kitchen. Over all. The bathroom and and sleeping arrangements needed updating. Bed was extremely uncomfortable with major dip in bed. The pull out couch look and felt 20 yrs old. The bunk beds that were makeshifted were just not at our standards of comfort. My kids felt like they were in a closet doors included. Bathrooms need updating as well. They need to invest alittle more into their property. I would not recommend to stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
I have been renting at The Palms and using Benchmark/Garrett for decades. This was the most out-dated unit I have stayed on this property. Benchmark is a wonderful company and helpful when needs arise. However, I am shocked that they represent this unit. The pros of this unit include the cleanliness of the condo and supplies provided in the kitchen. The kitchen and bathroom are in desperate need of updating. The master bath was missing 3 drawers. The shower did not work at first due to algae build-up. Benchmark was diligent and timely in getting it fixed. The master bedroom wicker bed frame had broken pieces. The bed is in desperate need of replacing as well. There is a large lump in the middle. The internet strength is weak; I could only get it to work in the main living area. The plastic chairs on the patio were constantly being blown to one side and on top of each other due to the wind. If you are not concerned about aesthetics and frills, and want a simple condo on the beach, you will have a clean one with this unit.

Reviewer Comments:
There were several items that just weren’t quite up to our standard. For example, I got cold on the first night and sought out a blanket, and the one I found had a blood stain on it. Also, the wi-fi was very unreliable and insecure. In addition, the ice dispenser on the refrigerator did not work, and the water filter needed to be replaced. The bed was also very uncomfortable, and it hurt to sleep on it. There were some other smaller things, such as a drain plug not working right and a creepy insect I found in the bathroom.I was glad to see there was in-unit laundry, but there was no detergent available for guests. That may be very nit-picky of me, but I feel like most places will offer that as an amenity for its guests.When we arrived to the property, the code that we were given to the door wasn’t working. Thankfully, there was a guest services professional who was able to administer a new, correct code remotely. I was glad that someone was able to promptly fix our issue but disappointed that it happened in the first place.Other than all of these things, it was generally fine, but we were still pretty disappointed overall. I have travelled a lot and stayed in a lot of different properties, and I typically leave great reviews and have great experiences. I don’t usually leave sub-optimal reviews on vacation properties, but I felt like this stay warranted one. Even more disappointing that this was my husband and my anniversary.Thankfully, these issues are fixable, and if they are fixed, we might consider staying here again. We love The Palms because it has a well-kept exterior, terrific beach access, and is just a walk or bike away from great restaurants.

We arrived around 2:00pm so we drove around to local shops. We called Garrett Realty to ask if it was possible to check in early. They texted us around 3:00pm and said the room was ready. We drove all the way to the property only to find it was locked. We tried calling and no one answered. So we had to sit outside the room for over an hour with a toddler. Extremely frustrating. I doubt I will book with Garrett again, I have had way better experiences with VRBO. The room definitely needs some work. Many things need to be fixed.

We had the BEST time staying with Benchmark Management. Communication was excellent, the usage of the app was so handy, and everything was flawless. The condo was everything we expected and more. So close to everything but just in the right area you didn’t have all the crowds. Our view was hardly ever blocked by other beach goers. We did not end up using the rental credit provided but loved that we had the option. Also very grateful for the vendor recommendations for various beach items/activities. We gave Chip from Beach Chairs 4 U a call after his business was recommended by Benchmark and we could not have asked for a better business to rent beach chairs and umbrellas from!! Thank you Benchmark for allowing us to have a stress-free vacation!
