Our stay at A Whale's Tale in Florida was an absolute delight, and we can't recommend it enough!The location was a dream – just a quick 6-minute drive to Santa Clara RBA (hello, easy parking!) and even closer to all the fantastic Seaside restaurants. Being within walking distance to Publix and the Dragonfly pool was incredibly convenient for our family.Inside, the home truly shone. The spacious bedrooms, kitchen, and living areas meant our group’s four kids had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy themselves without ever feeling on top of the adults. It was a perfect setup for relaxation and fun!We were also thoroughly impressed with Benchmark. Their team was incredibly communicative and responsive to all our questions, and a huge bonus was that our property was ready even earlier than expected – truly fabulous!We would absolutely love to stay here again on our next Florida getaway!

The size of the home was perfect for our family, but the home needs a deep cleaning. There was sand in one of the beds and under the rugs. We didn't have a working oven & they never sent anyone to check on it. I wish we had known prior to spending so much on groceries that we couldn't use. We tried to do an early check-in since no one was at the house but Benchmark was not helpful with that at all. They did agree to a noon checkout for us which was helpful.

Very disappointed, will not stay again.
Let me start by saying we love 30A! We have stayed in Watercolor, Prominence and Rosemary Beach and we love them all for different reasons! Unfortunately, we were very disappointed in our stay at this home.
When we arrived at the home the kitchen counters had a film over them, the trash can area had crumbs and debris still left in it and the kitchen chairs were covered in stains. The couches had a lot of stains and were very broken down, if you looked under the slip covers it looked like someone’s grandmothers old couch. When we went to the closet to get an extra blanket we found dirty linens that had stains as well. All of the outdoor cushions were very warn and dirty. We also found out when we tried to use the oven that it wasn’t working. We understand that it is a rental and there will be some wear and tear, but for the amount of money we were paying we thought it should be in better condition and better taken care of. I’m disappointed on how the owners kept this house, it very much feels like property bought for a rental only by an absentee property owner. Now, if I were the owners (and not an absent owner)… i’d be furious at the management company. Most of the cleanliness issues could be fixed if they took the time and did it right. As we walked in… it looked like this house was given a very quick 1 hour turn around from the previous guest and frankly wasn’t cleaned properly or thoroughly.

This house was absolutely beautiful, and clean. Big enough for 8 of us, with one child sleeping with her parents. There was not one thing broken, or old in this house! Beautiful porches, quite area. It was very close to Watercolor Camp, and Publix. We had two suv, but rented bikes. Now that one thing I can tell you about, they tell you’ll get a discount to go to a certain bike rental, and you do get it, but the bikes were god awful, breaking all the time. Service was really bad! One more thing if you’d like to be closer to the beach, Seaside. It’s not that close to bike ride, or walk ! Otherwise just wonderful home.

Surprised
Not your fault but I did not know that the house was on the other side of 395. Everyday we had to ride back and forth over this highway to go to Seaside, to tennis, to the gym. Basically to do anything so that was a little disappointing. We were never told to bring our own cleaning supplies. I rented this house partial because of the two porches to sit outside and relax and read. However both were covered in pine pollen and pine needles. Cleaning these areas should be part of the overall clean. I understand it can get dirty by the day but that is easy to keep up. To come into the filth that was there made both porched unuseable. Then we found choclate between the sofa cushions,food particles on the dining chairs and under the table and sand in the bath tub. WOW! Also the dining chairs were stained prior to our arrival. The house was exactly what it was represented it was and we had a wonderful time but these other things that I mentioned really surprised and disappointed us. It made us think if the sheets and such were even clean. Anyway ain't complaining just stating the facts because you asked.

We stayed at A Whale’s Tail for a pandemic delayed girls trip. The house was beautiful and comfortable. We would stay there again without question! We have no complaints, just a few notes: the amenities/access to facilities wasn’t totally clear during the booking and pre arrival phase. The Beach Club was AMAZING but we had to call to understand we could use it with our wristbands. Supplies: It was told to us that each bathroom would only have 1 role of TP before arrival, but for the price of the rental, it seems like more could be provided. Also only one extra trash bag was provided for 5 day stay—seems like that could be adjusted as well. Would also like to suggest beach towels for the house. Every other vacation home we have rented at a beach location has included beach towels. When you are flying to a destination, it is more difficult to bring supplies such as these, and having to purchase things like trash bags locally is wasteful. Suggestion: offer an upgraded provisions package where for additional fee, more of these items could be provided including beach towels. The management company was WONDERFUL during our stay. They promptly answered any of our questions, and rapidly responded when we had challenges with our door code. We were also dealing with a tropical storm warning during our stay and Benchmark was great with updates and communications regarding the weather. Would absolutely book our next rental through Benchmark!!! Thank you for the great vacation!
