Location was great. Checkin & checkout was excellent. Nice clean condo. Ocean view was amazing! I would go back!
Perfect location, loved the view from our balcony. The only thing I would suggest is that you have some cooking seasoning and coffee filters for the guest to use.
We were upgraded due to the air conditioning be out at Tidewater and were treated really well!

Love Tidewater. This condo was advertised in the headline as having beach service, it did not. Had to pay additional for beach service, very disappointed. The beach service is why we chose this condo. Property management group refused to reimburse our beach service fee.
The whole family really enjoyed our stay, from spacious condo, to the proximity to Pier Park & restaurants. Everything was perfect. We would recommend to anybody looking for a great vacation rental!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the condo. It was very clean! Will be coming back.

Location is good. Condo is large and can have long wait time on elevator. Room is okay - fridge is in odd spot and you can not open door all the way. Curtains on windows to balcony have mold.
Room was very nice. The bedroom door was
Kinda broke like some one pushed on it too hard and living room balcony lock was broke. Besides that the condo was really big and the view was incredible. I would definitely stay there again.

This condo COULD be amazing-Couch/chair-filthy/stains (placed a sheet over these before sitting)Garbage disposal: didn't work (bad sour smell throughout kitchen/living area)Ladder to bunkbeds- not bolted down.Extra pillows- located on floor on top of dirty mop.These issues could be fixed with MINOR effort and it would be a very nice/spacious condo.Typically never post bad reviews- messaged the contact person/mgr about these issues- no response.
Have stayed in this exact condo before several years ago. It was a lot nicer then! Theres a lot of things that need to be professionally fixed and cleaned. The couch & chair are full of stains and wore out. Curtains in the living and bedroom have stains and one side in the living wouldn’t open. Toilet in the master wobbles and trim is split. Bedroom door is busted up and seemed to try to be fixed with caulk. The agitator cap in the washer is broke off just laying in the washer. Elevators are so slow but it did seem like they were in the process of replacing them. Thats just things we noticed in our short stay.

Elevators sucked
Nice condo loved it but the elevators ruined a lot of it broke down half the time and just horrible but the condo was great
The condo was amazing and the view from the balcony was beautiful. It was very clean on arrival and there was no trouble with accessing the unit. The amenities are great. We loved the pools and the restaurant downstairs has great breakfast options. Food was great! The only issues we had for our entire stay was the elevators. It would take 30 minutes or more for an elevator to arrive and there is no walking up 18 flights of stairs. I really like Tidewater and would definitely stay at this condo again. I guess I’ll just have to deal with the elevators.
Elevators were a nightmare. Check in and check out took forever due to elevators. Room was not clean. Best thing about this place is the staff is happy and helpful... Not the property management because we emailed and called and never heard back!
This is our second year staying at Tidewater and had another great family vacation experience. I had read previous reviews about cleanliness issues and issues opening the balcony doors. The unit was very clean when we arrived, I usually bring my own Bissell Crosswave to keep up with the floors while we stay and I highly recommend that. The balcony doors were harder to slide but did work and almost worked better for us with a toddler that didn’t have easy access to the balcony. Great elevator service and wait times this year. Overall I cannot say a thing negative and we will definitely be coming back!
Property manager was amazing. Apparently the washer needed to be fixed and no one told us until 4 days into our trip when i received a text that they were on their way to the unit. The floors were filthy on our arrival and there wasnt proper materials to clean with so we went and bought cleaner and a mop. Property manager offered to take care of it, but bless her heart she didnt have things with her to clean either. Also, no linens were left for the twin bunk bed, so she had to bring those to us. Elevators are very overwhelmed at this Property. Be ready to wait, sometimes for 15 or more minutes! If you want to cook while on vacation, this is not the unit for you. Kitchen is small and layed out poorly. Not properly stocked if you wanted to make a full meal. Master bed was comfortable.
view was amazing!
no bedspread ? (weird), mold on shower curtain in main bathroom, water leaked down frig when you used the water on the outside (been doing it for a while all the screws were rusted, furniture needs upgraded, very cheap and uncomfortable, fan in living does not have cover over the lights. This could be a great condo if the owners would update it.

Not impressed
The unit looked nicer in pictures online. There was not many dishes there for cooking and the place could have been cleaned better. Elevators at the condo were TERRIBLE! Took 15 min or longer sometimes to get on an elevator. Will not be staying here again. Sorry!
