We were on the eighth floor in a corner unit and the view was absolutely stunning. Our place was very roomy and clean. The pool, hot tub and beach were outstanding. The company in charge of the beach chairs and umbrellas were very accommodating. Security and staff at the resort were very helpful with any questions we had. Great location being close to Pier Park and all the fun things to do in that area within walking distance. Highly recommend this resort and will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at Tidewater several times. This condo had the most useful amenities by far. The place was packed with all the things you need to cook for a large family. The added appliances like a Kureg, a crockpot and deep dish electric skillet were great, plus so many extras to help our trip. The location is great and the people were friendly. We would recommend and hope to book here again.

The property was clean. The elevators were inconvenient! The power did go out due to storms and I couldnt get the clock reset on the stove, other than that our stay was great.

Thank you for your honest feedback—we truly appreciate it. We're glad to hear you found the place clean and the beds comfortable, but we're sorry to hear that the couch and noise levels affected your stay.

We had a wonderful time. Unit had breathtaking views from living room, wrap around corner balcony & bedrooms., spacios and tastefully decorated. Very clean stocked with everything you need. Beds are very comfortable. Didn’t cook but kitchen complete stocked with plate/pots/coffee makers, etc- just bring own food and condiments. Check was a little confusing, recommend checking in prior to pay for parking & bracelets for entire party in order to have access to facility. This is a no smoking building. Watch dolphins from your balcony & beautiful sunrise/sunsets. Bring your own beach towels, chairs/umbrellas, if possible. Poolside bar and 1st floor restaurant excellent. Friendly staff. Did not have issues with elevators at all, although heard wait time could be long during peak times. We had a WONDERFUL & RELAXING family time. Host was excellent and responded promptly to our questions and requests. HIGHLY recommend, you will not be disappointed.
