Thanksgiving in FL
We really enjoyed our stay in The Mirage. Prepping food for our Thanksgiving feast was easy with the 2 kitchens. The view of the Gulf was gorgeous and made food prepping extra enjoyable. There were more supplies in the kitchen than are listed on the website, such as: a small crock pot, toaster, a chopper, full size coffee pots in both kitchens, and other things I cannot recall. It was a dream come true for me to have all my family under one roof. The Mirage accommodated all 4 families nicely!❤️💝

The beach, the beach, the beach!
Fantastic location, near shopping and great restaurants. The pool could use some maintenance (heater not great) and updating, but being able to walk right out onto the beach is so worth it. The house was clean and well furnished and easily accommodated our family of 10 adults.

Great House!; Pro/Con list
Great home for our family of 9; 3 levels with lowest level being a small stand alone 2 BR/2bath apartment. Middle floor has main kitchen and living, 2BR/2Baths, and 3rd floor is Master suite with private balcony. Here’s my PRO/CON list…PROS: spacious, beautiful, right on beach, nice views, clean, not sure about all TVs but main living tv had some live streaming networks and MBR had ability to log into personal streaming accounts, well stocked kitchen (see CON list), some beach items for use. CONS: 1. there was public walking access to the beach between this house and the one next door, so lots of foot traffic-no cars or parking lot. I believe it’s used for those who are staying in locations across the street. The only issue this truly makes for the house is busyness at the beach right in front of The Mirage. No one wants to lug all their stuff very far, so as soon as people get off the public access they are looking for a spot to be; so the beach right in front of the house was very busy each day (and we weren’t there at the busiest season); 2. The pool got really dirty after a storm and there wasn’t a polaris for cleaning dirt from the bottom, so we didn’t use the pool after the first day. 3. this really shouldn’t be an issue with a top-dollar per week home (and management should listen bc I’m not the first or even second to say it) towels…Benchmark says that their policy is to leave every guest 1 towel and 1 washcloth (which is fine if that’s how they want to do their business but it’s definitely not a gracious policy), however several in our party were NOT given a washcloth and the baby was not even given a towel. We also had no kitchen towels in the main kitchen. Those are my only real cons. No house is perfect-especially one that lots of different people live in. When we left, the management team asked online if there was anything that needed repairing before the next guest arrived-which there were a couple of minor things. I appreciated that, because there is no way for them to know without living there themselves or being told. We had a great stay here!

Great house right on the beach!
We had a great stay at the Mirage. The pool and being right on the beach were perfect for our family trip. The kids went back and forth all day! As other reviews have stated, there are a few general maintenance issues that need to be addressed like the water stains on the ceiling in the downstairs bedroom, but overall the house is clean. The layout was perfect for our group of 11 and everyone had plenty of space! The location was also great being in close proximity to The Hub, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach. I would definitely recommend this house!
