Love the beach

The condo was beautiful, just as described. And the view was amazing. The elevator situation, however, is why we will not stay there again. Being in the 16th floor, there was no option to climb stairs so we had to wait. 3 times we had to walk down the stairs because the elevator took so long.

Perfect location & calm atmoshpere

I loved the condo. My only complaint was to VRBO for charging me an extra $75 and also had an extra charge of $63 for the security bracelets. I feel like that should be shown up front or not charged at all.

Nice place to stay.

The unit was nice and clean. For the most part well stocked. You have to park across the street on a parking garage and that wasn’t too bad but it does cost extra to park. The elevators are extremely slow. We had to wait about 20 minutes a couple time for the elevator.

Horrible Stay

Terrible stay , the condo look nothing like the online photos. We had a water leak and call many times to report it, and one came to see about the leak the customer service was not helpful at all,just awful. We will never stay again and I will tell all my friends about this back experience.

Pros: Nice view and clean unit. Near Pier Park. Cons: Unit is outdated and the table outside was broken. Don’t come to Tidewaters during peak season, as the elevators are horrible. Maintenance came into the unit without any prior notice. (We came back to our unit to find our door open with maintenance inside, a heads up would have been nice as we had our personal belongings inside the unit.)

Amazing views

We ended up at this resort as a result of a relocation. I had 4 adults and 3 kids on our vacation and there was plenty of room for everyone. The balcony and view was the best part. In this corner unit, we got ocean and bay views. We did have some maintenance issues with one shower drain the first night, but maintenance came the next afternoon to fix it. The elevators took forever anytime of the day. If you were going anywhere around check in or out times, plan an extra 20 minutes for the elevators. Our biggest complaint was how dirty the floors were. We'd shower then walk around barefoot and our feet would be black. Other than that we had an amazing vacation.

Tidewater

Expected a little more for the proce we payed. Ive stayed at multiple condos over the years. This was our least favorite. No remotes to the tvs worked besides the living room. Door handle was broken to one of the bedrooms. Waiting for elevators was such a long wait daily. Our last night there we didnt have water and half the building was without power so no elevators. The water finally came back on as we were checking out. No notice or apology sent out from the condo or booking agency.

Tidewater room 1617

There was plenty of room for my entire family of 9, the furniture in the kitchen are was wobbly and one of the stools at the bar was broken. The patio furniture was pathetic, not what was pictured on the website, we had metal rusty fold up chairs and the table was so rusted that one of the legs had fallen off and we were unable to use it. My family likes to spend time on the patio and we were not able to do so this trip so it was very disappointing and misleading from the pictures that was on the vacasa website.

Great Location

Great location for the price. The condo having three full bathrooms was a plus with our group of nine. The furniture and decor is outdated but it was clean. The mattresses were not great and there was not any comfortable seating for the balcony. All in all it was great for a quick weekend stay.

Stressful!

The property was clean, staff was wonderful , check in was great . The elevators were terrible ,we spent at least 2 hours of our day with a 2 yr old and a 2 month old waiting to get on the elevators. Three different times we waited 45 minutes and finally just went back to our condo and looked at the beach from our balcony until later those days. The rest of the time it was 15 to 30 minute times. We would go down at 6 am to set up our area on the beach and the elevators were great then. Thats the only time. We also woke up at 2 am with water pouring from the ceiling. My daughter got up to feed her 2 month old and slipped and caught herself. Luckily she didnt fall. We notified them . They came and took pictures and said oh wow and gave us towels to throw on the floor and keep it cleaned up for 2 days until it stopped leaking. They never came back!! I went down and asked what the plan was because we have a 2 yr old running around and we were worried about her slipping along with my daughter getting up to feed the baby in the middle of the night . They told me they were discussing it. I never heard anything back. I paid 4,000.00 for this condo and expected to hear back from Vacasa about it but never did!! I emailed them and not a thing except the conversation with the lady at the desk . It just overall was a stressful trip. We understand things happen, but them not even trying to make it right upset me. We will bypass Tidewater in the future.

Beautiful View

This condo was perfect size for our 6 adults and 3 children. After we arrived we had issues getting into our room as our code stopped working which left us locked out of our room until we could get ahold of someone, luckily we were only locked out for about 30 minutes before we were able to get back in. The condo itself was clean. We had issues with the dryer as we couldn’t get it to work which was inconvenient since we had anlready washed our clothes. L Also bring extra towels as well as blankets cause the thin sheet they call a comforter was useless. Overall it was a good condo for the price we paid.

Unacceptable

We only enjoyed the view. The condo was not fit to stay in. I booked it for a couple of three to get away with their spouses. We cleaned, sprayed, scrubbed and more when we arrived. The first night was definitely not good. I got several bad comments from everyone. We complained and was only given a chance for someone to come and clean. The first impression was already made about Vacasa, Tidewater Owner, and me. The first night should have been waved along with the cleaning fee. It is sad that the other couples drove 6 hours to a place unacceptable. I will never be able to make this up to them. I am sure this unit was rented out once we left. Please check behind housekeepers and owners. They should follow certain guidelines. Yulonda C

Beautiful Views!

PRO’s- The location is perfect, the views are gorgeous, can’t get any closer to the water. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. CONS- Our unit did need some work done, sharp broken tile that could have easily cut feet when walking throughout the condo. Microwave electronic panel loose and didn’t always connect to turn on the microwave. One of the bedroom doors has a hole punched in the back, shower was dirty.
