I loved it but if you have a sensitive nose you are not going to be happy
i loved it very much. stocked well. beautiful. functional. close to the beach. pool. but there is a leak somewhere in the upstairs that was fresh and flowing. the smell caused me to feel ill it was so strong. it was constant. it was actually kind of horrible. soooo if you are sensitive in the ENT to mold, mildew or damp smell this is not the place for you. i really wish i didn't have to type this last part.

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!❤️💝

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!

Great Big Family Rental!
Our family of 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) had a great time at The Mirage! Everything in the house worked as expected, the amount of rooms and living spaces were perfect for our large group. The kids bunk room was nice and big and a great place for the kids to hangout as well as sleep! I also enjoyed the room on the top level that had its own balcony-it was super special! We had the pool heated which was wonderful! The kids swam everyday even when it was 55 degrees 😱. One of our highlights included renting bikes and being close enough to bike to Alys/Rosemary and also The Hub. Being right in the beach also was a huge plus! 30A can get in this location and we loved not having to walk across the street. Another big thing for our group was the access to two washers and dryers especially for all of our towels! We would happily stay at the Mirage another time.

We are waiting to see how the owners respond to renting the house knowing that both washing machines are still not working. We had a 4 week old and two 14 month olds and not happy to have to take time away daily to run to a laundry mat. Also after requesting and paying for the pool to be heated they did not verify that it was in working order until Saturday afternoon on our check in day. Of course it needed repairing, which was done and we were able to swim by Wednesday.

Excellent location and home. Clean and ideal for a family. The pool is so nice to come back to after a day at the beach. The home does need a few improvements- especially before another Hurricane. We had water coming in from the windows and roof. Lost one bedroom due to the leaking so that was inconvenient. The Management company was very responsive in bringing us towels to clean up

Amazing Location and Wonderful Family Property!
Just returned from a wonderful week between Christmas and New Years at the Mirage. We were absolutely thrilled with the location – right on the beach and only a short stroll away from restaurants, parks and more in Alys Beach. We had three families totaling six adults and five kids (one of those is an infant). The property was close enough for the kids to bike or scoot to Alys Beach easily and there is a playground there that the kids loved. Additionally, the property has a terrific pool that we heated for the week – the heating was plentiful and wonderful. All the kids and adults swam like fish all week! We called property management for a couple of issues during our visit and they were super responsive – one of the downstairs bedroom lights kept coming on automatically…we never totally figured it out but someone came to assist to attempt to help us. Additionally, we couldn’t find a broom or vacuum in the house (a necessity at the beach) so property management brought us a new broom and dustpan right away. My only suggestion for the owners would be to add some wine glasses to the kitchen supplies. We didn’t have enough for all six adults to have one, so adding a couple of sets might be helpful to future renters. Other than that, the Mirage was heaven! Seriously the best beach location, nice and close to Alys, and a pool, to boot. It was an amazing value! Thank you for having us!

Property has been updated however some of the work is shoddy. Deck area adjacent to the pool needed cleaning and algae was present on water outlets to the pool. Bottom step to the pool deck was higher than the other risers and could be a fall hazard as you are not prepared from the previous riser heights.

Great Beach house
House was great. It seems mostly updated, a few things were still needing work like rusty can lights, but nothing that made a difference to our stay. House is big and accommodating for a our group of 9. Public beach access was right next to the house. Beachfront had been decreased by hurricanes. But all of that was easily remedied by walk a short distance to some nice beach front. We would stay here again the pros outway any small cons.
