Great location, steps away from the beach! It looked like it is slowly being renovated- which is great but there are still several areas that need improvement. The parking is great, the area is very quiet!

We loved our stay at this beautiful townhouse! It has been newly updated and looks clean and pretty. The beds and couch were very comfortable. The best part about it was the View from the deck. We loved to sit as much as possible on both decks to enjoy the view and the beautiful sunsets. We will forsure come back and stay here.

We've been staying at the Blue Nine condos for many years now and have never been disappointed. The beach front access is perfect and the location nestled between the crazy of Seaside and Rosemary is perfect.
The property has a million dollar view and it is nicely decorated. Access to the beach is fabulous. You don’t really have to leave the property if you don’t want to! The cons would be the bed on the first floor was not comfortable, the lack of kitchen towels and a potholder. It would be great to have welcome instructions as well. All in all it was a great stay.

If you like to cook, be prepared to bring your own pots, pans, knives, etc...this unit is not very well equipped. For the price unit should be in better condition, deferred maintenance. But the space and the location and view is spectacular.

The location of this condo is great! The condo itself was comfortable but could use some TLC! The mattresses and bed pillows in all the bedrooms could use a refresh. The pots and pans in the kitchen could be added to and replaced. The back sliding door handle needs to be replaced and is very hard to open.

Reviewer Comments:
Working with Benchmark Management was a good experience. Communication via email and text was encouraged with timely response. The unit was clean and available prior to the promised time. Recently updated, comfortable furniture and all necessary accessories for the kitchen were available. The electric Weber Grill worked better than expected! No issues with A/C, Plumbing, or other mechanical items. We loved the ease of access to the Beach (no gates, no codes, no obstructed views)! All common areas were well maintained. Only areas of concern: 2 of the deck chairs were unusable; sliding glass doors were difficult to operate (an $8 can of WD40 made a HUGE difference). We would certainly stay at this location again.
Traveled for a "back to school" weekend with my two young daughters and my sister. Since dad wouldn't be coming along to help carry everything I wanted to stay as close to the sand (and the front door) as possible. This unit delivers on both. Parking directly at the front door couldn't have been easier. We were also able to walk straight out the back door and down the deck onto the beach. This being a single level unit surrounded by private homes made the beach super quiet.
There were a couple things that were interesting about the property and would give me a touch of hesitation to book again. The first being no way to lock the back door once you went out to the beach. The glass sliding back door could only be locked from the inside. This was a little strange to me, as when you left for the day on the beach you just had to hope nobody wandered into your unit. The second is the arrangement of the back porch. All 9 units share a common back porch. This made it quite loud in the evenings when other people staying there were still up partying well past midnight. It also created a lack of privacy. When we came inside for the evening, we felt like we had to close the curtains so all of the neighbors weren't peering in. I also felt like I was sharing my coffee with all the neighbors every morning.
Overall, even though the unit is a little more dated than I have come to expect on 30A, I would recommend it family groups who are traveling together and could book more than one unit.

We loved our convenient location to the beach and the beautiful view. The deck and upstairs patio were well kept and nice to sit on and enjoy the ocean view. The property was just as described. The kitchen had a lot of utensils/cooking tools/bar tools. Some storage containers would have been helpful. The bathrooms could use an upgrade but overall the living area and 3 bedrooms were very nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable. The property was clean. Good communication from the management company. Thanks for a fun week away.

Our family loved this location! Clean property with all furnishings we needed - except patio chairs and towels. Two of the 4 chairs were rusted & broken. We notified management but as with calls to request enough towels for each guest, we had to leave a message that wasn’t timely returned. Wish the office had been fully staffed. Beach was beautiful, though, property was quiet, and we look forward to our next trip!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Nine 5.
The rental process was easy- getting in the door this year was a challenge. The management company wasn’t answering the phone and we had to drive to their office to get help getting into the condo. This delayed our beach time by an hour. The maintenance man was terrific and fixed the problem for us. Overall a fairly positive experience.
Last year we had no problems at all.Maybe they were just having an off day.

We loved the view from the main level and the balcony upstairs. The location is great- far enough away from the public beaches you actually do feel like you have the whole stretch of crystal clear water to yourself. Bring your own umbrella and chairs. The only downfall to this unit during our stay were the broken patio chairs upon arrival. They were sort of stacked up against a wall leaving the good ones around the table/grill. (Having an electric grill was another bonus) we bought local seafood and sat outside to cook/eat/enjoy the view

We come to BlueNine5 for the past two years and there have been zero upgrades. The outdoor grill is a watery working mess and should be thrown away, the dryer only works on one cycle and the dishwasher only works occasionally. The cleanliness of this unit has gotten bad. We arrived with no sheets on the master bed and stained toilets, coffee maker was dirty and laying torn apart in the kitchen, sand on the floors. The balcony had a broken umbrella and toys strewn around and sand everywhere! Never have we seen this unit this bad. It was so dirty we ended up buying sheets to lay down her the couch because it was just nasty. Do better or lower the rates. We continue to stay here because of the wonderful neighbors we have made friends with.

We have stayed at Blue Nine for what is probably decades by now. The beach is private and you can always find a large spot on the water. We bring all our food so we don't eat out. The steps down to the water will need a total overhaul soon, but other than that everything is great. These units are not new, but they are well kept. There was no plastic drinkware in this unit (other than 2 sippy cups) - but lots of fancy drink glasses.
