Disgusting

I want to post pictures of this home as it was disgusting. We were informed after having three different maintenance people come to the property to repair things but also not repair things that the owner of this property doesn't even live in the country and is a slum lord. He won't get things fixed or updated because he still makes a tone of rental money on this property. The pool didn't work the heat to the pool didn't work the mattresses were the most disgusting stained things I have ever seen. The TV's didn't work the tub faucets leaked all over the floor because they weren't put on correctly. The ceilings looked like they were going to fall in because of water damage. It was horrible. Benchmark Property Management knew about the home being in disarray and VRBO should not be representing this home as it will bring your rating down. I am disgusted that out of all the times I have used VRBO this was the type of home and Management team you have representing you. I will find a way to add pictures and reviews wherever I possibly can so that this home doesn't ger represented anymore.

Spring Break

We have come to Destin for years and this by far has been our favorite stay. The house is everything it says it is and MORE. Great location, perfect set up for large group, and when we had an issue, it was quickly taken care. Spring break was very busy this year in Destin, the beaches were so packed, so we were very thankful for the private pool!!!!!!! We can’t wait to go back next year!!!!!

Amazing views

You can’t beat this location! It was unbelievable. The beds were comfy and lots of room. The kitchen drawers need a good cleaning and the trim in kitchen could use some fresh paint but who cares with that view! This house was perfect for my large party! We had so much fun! I can’t wait to go back!

Issues.. but overall it was OK

Like many other reviews, the property was dirty. I even emailed the property before our stay and was assured it would be cleaned. The floors were so dirty our feet were black. There were roaches. A lot of things were broken - most importantly the door to the pool does not stay shut so be careful if you are bringing young children who might wander around. I did notify management about this issue. Besides all the issues, the size and location of property is great for big families.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall everyone enjoyed the stay! Location was the best part! House design and space was also great! However there were many very large size flying Roaches we encounter daily. They were not just in one part of the home they were all over, the master bedrooms, the kitchen, pool area, and third floor rooms. The garbage when we arrive was over flowing and smelled like a dead body unacceptable on arrival. Garbage wasn’t picked up until 5am Saturday we checked in Tuesday meaning we had to deal with the smell. They also made us responsible for pulling the cans to the end of drive way to make sure which should not have been our job and then told us we would be fine if they were not there to be pulled. How should this be the responsibility of the guests checking in. I would recommend making sure garbages are pulled before new guests arrive and having some one come spray.

View was amazing

View was amazing.. house was good except a few things need updated oven takes 45 min to heat and you have to up temp 25 degrees , stove, refrigerator is to small for that many people. The house is amazing. One thing that should state on the website is the $35 per day extra charge to heat pool. We would defiantly go back if house is maintained.

Benchmark is proactive in communications with text. Bellagio accommodated our family well. The kids had space as well as each couple.. the negative is the close proximity to public beach access. Even though it was May, the beaches got very crowded especially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The house and beach are gorgeous and clean. A bit of work in progress in carriage house was no problem. The management was very helpful and their crew rapidly responded to our requests. One suggestion is to install a garbage disposal. We would be happy to have a chance to return to this terrific location.

September 2017 Stay

This house was amazing. My family came and celebrated my sons 18th birthday. We had a blast. Everything was more than expected. Everyone was very excited about this home. We called about the hot water down stairs, maintenance came and fixed problem immediately. The only thing was wrong, but didn't hender our fun, was the elevator was not operational, other than that, no complaints at all. House is directly on beach always a plus, and the private pool was also a plus. We will definitely return again and stay in this place. You guys rock. Thanks so much for allowing my family to rent this home.

Beautiful home and location losing it’s luster

The beachfront location is terrific and the fact that it could accommodate our 20 family members with the flexibility of a pool was a most welcome feature. The home is showing extreme wear and tear. The exterior needs power washing, landscaping is an eye sore. We notified management company: mold in bathrooms, rainwater leaking from can light in bedroom, kitchen wood tables very sticky and this was also brought up in a May review, along with other items. Our family really enjoyed our stay, but the property needs some tender loving care.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent nearly a week. Beautiful home, spacious rooms. The home needs some tender loving care. Minor repairs have not been done like shower doors off track, double doors that barely open, uneven floors, slow shower drains, pigeons living in the eves, ovens and stove tops slow to warm, dining tables that need resurfacing. It is a beautiful, clean home that has been neglected a little, not terrible. The view and beach is breathtaking.

Bummer!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I forwarded photos of the trash build up over 5 days of our stay! This is well documented! The beach/location were great but the a word...NASTY! Trash from previous guest still in 2 of the bathrooms, ceiling leaked during rain (2 rooms) being in the building industry, it was easy for us to see the problem, tiles missing on the roof! No AC in the garage apt from day 2!! Top oven does not work, ice make was always 1/2 water, lovely roaches every evening in the kitchen, pool toys left in box, moldy/mildewed, return air vents very dirty, I could go on but let’s just say....again, NASTY! We owned a property at Villa Coyaba and know what it takes to have a high dollar property, what it takes to keep quests happy, again very disappointed....

Needs a lot of updates and fixing

The property location was right on the beach which was nice, it was very busy though because the public beach access is extremely close. The house needs updating in many areas including but not limited to the ovens, the ice maker, the plumbing, and the dishwasher. The house needs a very good deep cleaning as there was roach feces in several cabinets. We had nightly visits from huge, flying roaches, approximately 20 total. It was disgusting. Two night before we left we found out that the windows in the kitchen area were left open, which we assumed was the reason for the roach infestation. The bathrooms and sinks need updating, as the faucets leak all over the floor as do the toilets. The downstairs shower does not drain and has a very strong smell of urine. The ice maker never did work properly for the duration of our stay. We contacted benchmark management and they never sent anyone out. We will never be renting this house again or any house from benchmark management. We were very disappointed.

The Bellagio Home is the best!!

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: I planned my trip around the Bellagio home. Once I saw this house, I knew that I wanted to vacation there. The house is gorgeous. It’s been well-maintained, it was clean and Benchmark mortgage was quick to answer any questions that we had upon our arrival. The house is steps away from the beach. The views are stunning. It was a great place for me to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend. There were only four of us in this massive house, but we planted it that way. Most certainly can sleep up to 20 people. All the bedrooms have TVs and all of the bedrooms, the entire house just makes you feel so cozy. It was such a relaxing time for us. We had a personal chef to come in and cook and , she went on the deck and was just amazed at the view. So if anyone is thinking of this property, do not think. Run and book it. I’m actually at this moment trying to book it again to take son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson thank you for being so good to me. You can’t go wrong booking this beautiful property.

Location and beach were great, the house...not so much

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. 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 location of the house and the beach were great, but the house shows a lot of wear and tear. It is sad that previous reviews had brought up the same issues we ran into during our stay. Multiple windows that didn't close, the kitchen tables need some epoxy or sealer so everything doesn't stick to it, the pool was not cleaned out well, the shower door in the 3rd floor master wouldn't stay on the track, the pool deck and balconies had old bird poop all over them, the front fountain was broken and green and the beds were really worn down. We stopped sending emails for everything that had issues and just worked around it. For the price, I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay.
