Disappointed

The unit we stayed in was not the one pictured in the website. We thought we were staying in the ground floor, beachfront unit. We were given a 2nd floor unit mid- building uni. I contacted the host via email and never received a reply.

Can’t beat the location

Location was perfect. Wish thermostat and air conditioner vent were separated more because it constantly turns on and off. Shower liner was moldy. Some floor tiles were cracked and some walls had minor damage. Did not care for the split Murphy bed. The pillows were very uncomfortable- no substance, very flat plus the plastic covering made the cases come off and were uncomfortable to sleep. Beach loungers higher than most making it easier to get on and off. Would definitely come back The location can’t be beat. The negatives are minor.

Excellent Location

We loved everything about our stay at Gulf Tides. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed, including washer and dryer. The beach was so close I didn't even need to wear shoes. The sunsets were beautiful. Plenty of wonderful restaurants nearby. It was everything we were looking for.
