Samantha, we are happy to know that your family enjoyed staying in this very clean, comfortable Tidewater Beach Resort condo. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We would DEFINITELY stay there again! The condo was beautiful and everything was as advertised! This was my first time using VRBO and everything was so simple. The owner of the property quickly responded to my messages and check in was a breeze!

Unit 2804 is a very nice condo, clean, well furnished, nice decor, everything worked perfectly.
We loved the amazing views, very comfortable couches with a perfect view to the sea and breathtaking sunsets from the balcony. The only downfall are the elevators at peak hours.
Other than that is a perfect place.

Yenny, We appreciate the 5-star review. We're glad everything worked perfectly and you enjoyed the view. We're sorry about the elevators. A lot of people want to visit our beautiful beaches this time of year. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The condo was nice and well equipped. The only issue we had was with the elevators.
They were very easy to work with and we received all of information on time!

The actual condo was beautiful! We loved the layout and the fact that there was a washer dryer was a bonus! Nicely decorated and the view is amazing! The resort however needs some work. At least one elevator was broken every day making the wait process very annoying. Also the resort does not enforce people to wear mask even though signs are posted everywhere and the fact that the elevators were jammed packed due to lack of service was a bit unnerving! Loved the condo...resort needs some work.

Hello Pam, Thank you for your review and feedback. We are delighted our condo was everything you had hoped for. Please come back again soon!
Our unit was nice. The owners were polite and prompt with questions. View was spectacular. The security was very rude. We gave up trying to smile at them on day one. I gave the staff 2 stars because the girl I checked in with was nice. Due to the hospitality of the staff, we won’t be back. First impressions go a long way.
I was very pleased with this condo. I’m big on cleanliness and was really pleased with how clean everything was. The room was exactly as described aside from one thing: the description doesn’t speak highly enough of the views! The views are amazing! I wouldn’t change a thing about this stay. The beds were comfortable which is hard to find in most condos. I slept well and so did the rest of my family. The security was also very comforting to have. You could tell they took their job seriously without being too overbearing. Check in and out was a breeze. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!!

The Tidewater has over 500 units and only five elevators that were working properly too many people too few elevators 20 to 30 minute wait every time we got on the elevator elevator air conditioning not working. Also parking garage was a pain. The parking was packed in the elevator at the parking garage was not working.

When we booked this resort it was supposed to be from October 6-11th. Somehow the dates were messed up between VRBO, RealJoy, and Tidewater. Tidewater was the only place that had the dates right. Already in this questionnaire VRBO got the dates wrong AGAIN. Also it was not clearly stated that this was a timeshare scam property and we wouldn't be booking directly from Tidewater. The place was EXTREMELY crowded. Wait time for an elevator was almost 20 min at times, making being on the 28th floor super inconvenient. We were told there was no smoking on the balconies but both sides of us had people smoking cigarettes and weed. So we had to leave our balcony door closed. Our dryer made the most God awful sound when in use since we couldn't have towel or linen service. The private beach was a nightmare and everyone was packed like sardines. My husband and I learned to just walk to the public beach for more room and less restrictions. The hotel boasts having a Starbucks but it was more a corner coffee shop with ONE person working there in the mornings. Don't waste your money on a big resort. Find a cozy hotel and enjoy the public beaches.

Lindsay, We're sorry that your vacation was not what you expected. We get our dates through VRBO so we can only go with the dates they give us. Unfortunately, we had another guest checking in right after you so we were unable to add a day. We are truly sorry for the mixup. We appreciate you letting us know about the dryer and will send maintenance at the first opportunity. We're glad you enjoyed the public beach and hope you had a safe trip home.
The property was beautiful and the location was great. Best condo I’ve stayed at in Panama. Just wished it didn’t rain almost everyday so we could’ve enjoyed the beach more.
The condo itself was nice. Loved the view and the space. We could not get the Keurig to work, so that was an additional trip out to get coffee filters/coffee. The condo building & amenities left quite a bit to be desired. One set of elevators was broken the whole time we were there. One side of the beach access (the side our condo was on) was closed the whole time due to construction work, making it quite an inconvenient task to get outside to the beach. One of the outdoor hot tubs was not working. Overall it served it's purpose and we enjoyed our trip, regardless of the inconveniences.

Stephanie, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience while staying in this nice one-bed, two-bath Gulf-front condo in Panama City Beach. We are happy to know that you loved the space and view of this unit. Although we completely understand your frustration with Tidewater's building and amenities, we unfortunately have no control over such issues at any property like Tidewater. We only manage the interior of this unit. We would have been more than happy to send someone to try and resolve the issue related to the Keurig had we been made aware during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

The online check in process was not user friendly. I was charged $10 extra as a "late" registration fee even though the only option given to me was 30 minutes prior to check in. However the girls at the front desk were super helpful to the best of their abilities.
The elevators were absolutely horrible! There was an average of a 20 minute wait to get on. Trying to get a beach wagon or stroller on was an even longer wait! There was zero personal space while riding the elevators due to everyone trying to get on at any opportunity they could.
Check out time was 10am. Again, online check out was not user friendly. Starting at 9am we were asked by the cleaning staff, by knocking on our door 3 different times, if we were getting ready to check out.
We will absolutely never stay at the property again.
Nothing was included there was people in our room as we checked in was suppose to be gifted a $100 gift card only got $50 the owner didn't renew chair and umbrella rental had to come out of pocket every day for a chair which should have been included over all experience was horrible never book thorough this company again

Rick, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying in Tidewater 2804. We hope you enjoyed the layout and decor of this one-bed, two-bath unit. Please accept our apology for the cleaning crew being there upon your arrival and for beach services not being included. This service is not listed as a provided amenity for this unit on Real Joy or Vrbo websites. It is the decision of an owner to provide beach services as a perk or these items in the unit for guests to use. Our records show that a $50 gift card was to be delivered due to the cleaners finishing later than expected. Thank you for your patience and for choosing Real Joy.
Beautiful location but due to size of property, getting anywhere took 20-30 min due to long elevator waits/rides

The condo was fine for a short stay. We loved the view off the balcony. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and there were stains on the sheets. Also the elevator situation was terrible being on the 28th floor. Often had long waits and would give up and take the stairs. We did like being able to walk to Pier Park.

Nice views with parking garage across the street, and an air conditioned pedestrian walkway connecting it. Within walking distance to pier park, shops, restaurants. Steps from the beach. Absolutely no complaints, would stay here again.

The condo was excellent. It was exactly as advertised. My wife and I brought our 2 year old daughter on her first vacation and we had a fantastic time. We were in the perfect area and everything was very clean. The beach was perfect. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be coming back next year to book our trip.
My family enjoyed every minute of our vacation! It felt great to wake up to the beautiful ocean front view.
