Great stay at Mellow Yellow!

Overall Comment
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mellow Yellow, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!
First of all, the location is unbeatable - just minutes away from Watercolor, Seaside, and Rosemary Beach. When we weren't out enjoying 30A, we loved relaxing in the comfort and privacy of Mellow Yellow. It is a VERY short walk (less than 5 mins) to the beach even with chairs, coolers, etc.
The house itself was very clean and had all the amenities you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bedrooms all had very comfortable beds that ensured we got a great night's sleep every night. The bathrooms are very clean with plenty of towels.
It's clear that every detail has been carefully considered to make guests feel right at home. Although a starter kit(towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dish soap, detergents, etc) is provided I would recommend bringing along some extra dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and beach towels.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Mellow Yellow, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice and relaxing trip to 30A. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

This was one of our favorite rentals we’ve ever had! It was a beautiful home. I loved how spacious it was, yet feeling like we were all together. The walk to and from the beach was very easy. Great location— and we really loved the screened in front porch. We would love to stay here again sometime. Highly recommend!

This was probably the best rental we have had in the 7 years of coming to Seagrove Beach. Bedrooms were very large and roomy for our two kids. We loved being able to bring our sweet dog (Aussie )He enjoyed the wood floors during the hot days.
The closets were very big which was unexpected. The kitchen and living area were perfect for needs. The best part was the outdoor porch. I think we spent more time there than any place in the house. Only one minor issue with the battery in the smoke detector needed replacing but Benchmark had someone there in about 15 mins of making the call. Great service!! The house was clean and furniture was up to date. Great neighborhood too, quiet with good neighbors. A quick 6 minute walk to the beach too. We will definitely stay here again!

My husband has already given a list of things we noticed that need addressing. I am only sending this as a way to help you with imput from guests. We enjoyed our stay and always rent through you. But you need to know the additional:
Floors were not cleaned in forever. We mopped them right before we left and put a finishing renewal on them.
The dishwasher is not securely installed. When I opened the door it tilts forward. It has not been attached at the top of the dish washer to the frame.
I think my husband covered everything else.

Hello Maxine,
Thank you for your input! Please know that we do clean the floors before every reservation. If ever something is not satisfactory upon check in, we can certainly send housekeeping back to address where any error may have been. I have also relayed your feedback on the dishwasher to our team so we may look into addressing your concerns. Thank you so much for staying with us! We hope to see you again next year.
Sincerely,
Benchmark Management

The house was located a block from the sand, with coffee and breakfast spots walking distance away. Not as busy or developed as neighboring towns, but we appreciated the slower, quieter pace. It was also nice to keep our distance during this time. The house itself was better than the pictures, we loved having the backyard space and outdoor shower, and the front screened in porch too. There is construction happening next door, but besides the eyesore and occasional noises, we didn't really mind it. For sure would stay here again, great location on 30A between all the little beachside towns.

Hey Elisabeth,
Your perspective is so appreciated! We love that this house is so close to the water as well as some dining, so you really don't have to stray far! Your input about the area is also great as it helps future guests get an idea of location. We hope to see you again soon!

Very Clean & Excellent Location
by Houston TX

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It's extremely clean, tucked back on a quiet street with just a quick walk to the beach. The house has a screened-in front porch with very comfortable chairs that we enjoyed in the morning and evenings. We had our dogs and the fenced in yard was perfect to let them out and the private street was perfect to walk them. The only downside is that the house didn't have a Keurig, but there is a coffee shop a quick 3-minute walk away. We had a question upon arrival and the management company was responsive right away. There is construction next door, but the property was only being worked on one day during our stay so we didn't have any problems with noise. Lastly, the excellent location lets you explore all of 30-A very quickly and it's close to lots of wonderful restaurants. I'd highly recommend a stay here and we'll definitely be back.

Great Location and House
by Alpharetta GA

The house was great and the location was wonderful. Quick walk across the street to the beach. The house was decorated nicely. Mostly clean, however the floors desperately need cleaning, not just vacuuming. Within 30 minutes of being barefoot, the bottoms of our feet were covered in dirt and grime. At little gross thinking of all the people that have been through that house walking barefoot as well. The rental company would NOT allow you to check in early, even if the property had been cleaned and ready to go beforehand. It was nice that it had access to a pool but the pool was tiny and covered in shade most of the time. Other than those things, it was a great house and location.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We are so happy to hear Mellow Yellow met your expectations and you enjoyed your stay. I am so sorry to hear the floors were not up to standard and will certainly pass this along to our housekeeping team. I am very sorry we were not able to accommodate an early check in for you. We do make every effort to ensure every guest knows that check in time begins at 4pm. This is to ensure we can utilize the time between guests for our housekeepers, inspectors and maintenance techs to address any issues. The location is definitely an added bonus for this home!! Not only are you right across the street from the beach access, you are also just a short walk to Seaside!! We can't wait to welcome you and your family back for another beach vacation! Thanks again, Benchmark Management
Week of July 4th Experience

Mellow Yellow is very comfortable and well maintained. This is the fourth time we have stayed at Mellow Yellow for the week of July 4th. The cottage was neat, clean and comfortable. The only issue we had, which is very minor, there was not a cheese grater in the kitchen utensils. I had to go to two Public grocery stores to find one....again, this was no big issue. My family loves pimento cheese and a cheese grater in the unit would have been nice. Overall, we had a wonderful week at Mellow Yellow and hope to go back there again and again!!

We had a lovely time with 4 people and two little dogs. The puppies enjoyed the fenced-in yard. Every
thing was immaculate. Needs more towel rods in both bathrooms to hang towels and a bar in shower would be nice for elderly so as not to slip.

Overall, Mellow Yellow was a great rental house with an excellent location and amenities. The lot next door was being worked on by a landscape company in preparation for building so it created a lot of noise and dust during our stay which was unfortunate. The front bedroom was also much warmer than the rest of the house at night which made for a disruptive sleep.

Hi Tara,
Thank you for leaving us a review! Mellow Yellow is certainly a great property, and we do apologize that work was being done in a home nearby during your stay. Luckily, you're just a trot away from the community pool and the beach! When you next come down to 30A, we'd love to accommodate you again.
See you soon!
