Benchmark in Melbourne Beach

"What a cute place! It’s a gem. Breakfast was tasty. The room was so comfortable- we didn’t want to leave. We borrowed bikes and rode to the beach and around the area. Good restaurants nearby too. Highly recommend!"

"This hotel is located within the Archie Carr Turtle reserve and we were fortunate enough to witness baby turtles hatching and making their journey back to the sea which took place right outside of our balcony. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Loved our stay and will return many more times"

"I’ve been running through VRBO for many years now. And this was by far the best communication with an owner I’ve ever had. They went above and beyond to answer all my questions. Before enduring our stay."

"The inside of the house was as shown. However, the property itself isn't as nice. The water has a bad smell, even after letting it run a while (as we were told to do after mentioning it). Had to buy several gallons of water to drink and cook with. We had concerns about taking showers with the water too. When we arrived, the A/C in one end of the house wasn't working. They did deliver two portable units and had someone fix it on the 5th day. The kitchen units lack items for large group prep. Sliding doors were hard to use. The windows/screens were dirty. We weren't able to open them due to the bugs, dirt in the screens. One of the two washing machines didn't work. One of the two chaise lounge chairs was broken. Only one beach umbrella (should have more when renting to large groups) The yard needs lots of work. Lights near the front drive didn't work (easier to locate the property in the dark). All around lack of attention to detail that would make the property much more appealing. For the amount charged each night, you would expect that everything would be in working order. The location is great, quiet beach, great sand and water. Near shopping and restaurants. We are a relatively laid back family when it comes to accommodations, but we were disappointed in the accommodations after a year of planning and looking forward to staying at the house."

"Leave relaxed"
