Close to Alys Beach, Wonderful, spacious Gulf front Condo - PRIVATE BEACH - 2 balconies overlook Gulf provides amenities like laundry facilities. With amenities like a beachfront location and sun loungers, this condo is the perfect place to soak up the sun. Stay connected with free in-room WiFi.
*** Our relatively quaint, small, newly renovated, complex is right on the Gulf with a large private beach. You have incredible gulf views throughout most of the condo and the 2 balconies. Several of the most commented on features by guests are the gulf views, being able to walk right off your family room balcony stairs to the stairs to the beach to our LARGE PRIVATE BEACH for only 18 units and the daily beach service provided. The location on 30A is a plus also. From March 1 - October 31, I cover the cost for daily beach service - a beach umbrella, 2 chairs and a side table that will set up for you each day. This has a $245 weekly value. There is only 1 row of umbrellas, and your set-up will be identified. We also have a person onsite to keep the beach private for our guests and owners. I left 2 additional beach chairs on the balcony to use. Please be sure to bring them back to the balcony each evening and before your stay ends for the next guest. NEW - I have 2 bicycles in the condo that you may use.
New for Golfers - Access to 2 Championship courses and an executive course. See below, if interested.
We completed a $2M renovation to our 18-unit building in early 2023. It looks fantastic! I have also significantly upgraded the condo. I removed all of the carpets throughout both condos and replacing them with LVP. Now there is travertine and LVP throughout the condo. A new very nice king bedroom set in the master with a new iCloud very comfortable king mattress and box spring. I also added a 55-inch TV in the family room and master. All of the TV;s are smart tv's, so no need to bring a Firestick or device. I also added a premium Direct TV app so you can watch regular and local channels. You are going to LOVE the private beach with only 1 row of chairs and the beach umbrella/chair service. BE SURE TO READ THE POSTED GUEST REVIEWS
My condo is a such a fun place for a family beach front Gulf vacation. It is large, comfortable, colorful and decorated so that you will feel like you are away and at the beach. It is quite spacious with great Gulf views from most rooms in the condo and is in a great location along 30A. My hope is that after a couple of days you will feel like you are home and that you have one of your best, most relaxing and fun family beach vacations. Over the past 10+ years I have dozens of families that have been back numerous times. I own 2 similar condos in the small 18-unit complex. My other one is VRBO property 123162. They are equally as nice. I try to be always available to answer any questions or respond to any need. A few unique and much appreciated features of my condo(s) are: We have a large private deeded beach for only 18 units. Our fantastic beach service provider is onsite and maintains the beach for Blue Tide guests use exclusively. Our beach is much more private than the beaches at Seaside, Watercolor, Seagrove, Seacrest Beach (we are Seacrest), Rosemary Beach. Another feature really enjoyed by guests is you can walk right off the family room balcony steps to the steps to the beach. No need to go our front, down hallways, around the building or down an elevator. Families love the convenience. Because I have owned for over 12 years, I offer very good pricing when compared to comparable Gulf front properties. I cover the cost of a beach umbrella, 2 chairs and a side table that is set up for you early each day ($245/wk. value). It is SO convenient to have them set up and ready whenever you go to the beach. We have a large private beach for only 18 units and someone on site to keep it private for guests. Check out the picture of just 1/2 of our beach with the single row of orange umbrellas. Look next to our beach and you will see an area of about 25 yards that serves over100 homes from across the street. Hard to find and hard to beat :) If your week is booked, be sure to check out my other equally nice, similar condo at the blue Tide. VRBO 123162. Owned by Brad Bridges Great quote - "When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused. "Rainer Marie Rilke". I believe and hope you will share these feelings after staying here. The Gulf can be mesmerizing! Blue Tide 7B, in Seacrest, Florida, is a beautifully decorated 3-bedroom condo (including the loft), 3 full baths, 2 balconies overlooking the amazing Gulf of Mexico, is very spacious at 1950 Sq. ft. The beaches have been voted as one of the best of 'Americas Beaches'. The condo is located on scenic 30-A, 2 miles west of Rosemary Beach and 3/4 mile from Alys Beach on the eastern end of 30A (less crowded). The townhouse is fully furnished to make you feel at home when you stay there. It is located on a bike trail that runs the length of 30A - 17 miles. Riding east on 30A you have Alys Beach, Seacrest Beach and Rosemary Beach within 2 1/2 miles with very interesting shops and places to eat. This is a lot of fun for families. Bikes can be rented and delivered to the condo. You will enjoy the incredible panoramic views to the east and west from the 2 private balconies of the sugar white sand and emerald, green water of the gulf. It is truly breathtaking. There is nothing more beautiful and relaxing than sitting on one of the balconies in the morning enjoying coffee and/or breakfast or in the evening looking at the gulf and listening to the waves. The condo is designed so the sun never comes directly into the condo, and no one can see in (very private), so you never need to close the drapes and can enjoy the great Gulf views from the master, kitchen, dining area and family room all day long. Sun-up to sun set. There is a private pool on-site. The condo offers 2 large bedrooms with comfortable king size beds and full baths attached. There is a loft with 2 single beds. The loft is semi-private and like a retreat for children, teenagers and maybe young single adults. Because it is semi-private and does not have a bath attached, it might not be best suited for couples. There is a 3rd full bath on the main floor. There is also a new pullout queen size sleeper sofa. The family room has 2 new comfortable swivel chairs with another chair and a queen sofa. It has a 55-inch smart TV with streaming service options that you use at home and Direct TV streaming for local channels. 850. Each bedroom and loft have smart TVs. The master bedroom has a king size master bed, a 55 inch tv, a vanity area between the bedroom and bathroom for a little more privacy. It also has a large walk-in shower with a regular and overhead rain shower head. Very relaxing. There is free fast speed wireless internet. The condo comes with a fully equipped kitchen, seating for 6 around the large dining table and a breakfast bar with 3 seats. Both the master and family room have double sliding glass doors that open to balconies with seating and tables. Linens, towels and washcloths and a washer/dryer are provided. There is a private pool for guests and owners. The Blue Tide has about 200 linear feet of private gulf frontage. There are only 18 units in this quaint, quiet, family friendly complex. It provides a wonderful atmosphere for a fantastic vacation and a place to create lifelong fond memories. I have so many guests that have been back 3 and 4 times. Many say they treasure their time spent at the Blue Tide and can't wait to get back. I feel the same way. I think you would as well. There are 2 grills in front of the complex next the parking lot for use. There are county laws preventing grilling on the balcony or behind the complex. Sorry, NO PETS and NO Smoking or Vaping allowed. No smoking inside the townhouse or on the balcony. New SEER 16 HVAC system. Included is an RGF Air Purification System that uses an Advanced Oxidation Technology that kills 99.99% of surface bacteria/viruses, 99% of microbes in a human sneeze is killed at 3 ft. and adds much more air purification (REME-HALO).
For Golfers - I m a member of the Watersound Club and with that, as a guest of mine, you would have access to their 2 Championship golf courses and a short executive course. Camp Creek Golf course is rated in the top 2 % of private courses in the U.S. and is less than 2 miles away. Sharks Tooth Golf Club, another championship course, is about 15-20 minutes away. Origins, the short executive course in about 15 minutes away. The cost to play Camp Creek or Sharks Tooth is $240 per player. Origins cost is $50 plus tax. Reservations would need to be made by me in advance (up to 14 days). Incredibly beautiful courses and scenery.

This was a wonderful property and a great host. Balconies have gorgeous views and condo is so convenient to get to beach. Also having chair setups is big plus!
Second stay on 30A, first time at this property. We would stay here again and again if available. The location, views and the included beach service make this a 10/10. The condo is exactly as advertised. We highly recommend the property!!!
Perfect location, thoughtful and communicative host, and comfortable amenities
We had a great week long stay with our family including young kids. Location can't be beat and Brad adds the icing on the cake with included beach chairs/umbrellas. We enjoyed a bonfire with s'mores on the beach through the local company providing the chairs.
The townhouse was a perfect fit for our family of 6. Access to the beach and beach chairs was amazing. The location of the townhouse was perfect for biking to The Big Chill, Alys Beach and Rosemary. We had a wonderful family vacation
We had the most amazing stay at Brad’s condo! The place is WAY bigger than it appears in the photos and has two king beds, two twin beds, and a pull out sofa. The views of the gulf are unbeatable and we loved watching the sunrise/sunset from the balcony every day! Having the private beach was a huge plus especially if you want to avoid crowds. Will definitely be staying again!!
This was an amazing place! You walk in to amazing views. Just when you think they can’t get better you go up to the main bedroom!! The location is amazing , steps to the beach! Bike or walk to great places. The beach is awesome!! Especially with it being a private beach! The townhome is such a great size! You will enjoy from moment you walk in. Can’t wait to come back!!
Went on a vacation with our closest friends. The Blue Tide did not disappoint. The Owner Brad was extremely nice and very helpful regarding all of our needs. We loved the condo and the view from both balconies was amazing. Frankie from Other Mammas Beach Service and Batten also took care of all our beach needs. Thanks to them, under a full moon, we enjoyed a fire on the beach complete with s’mores. Already booked for next year. Thank you for making our trip memorable.
Brad was an amazing host! The location was ideal and with a private access beach front what more could you want. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can’t wait to come back next year with better weather!
Beautiful condo! Fabulous ocean front property! Steps away from the beach. Great for a family! We have small children. Plenty of room. Wonderful location to nearby restaurants. The property owner- Brad- was great to communicate with prior to the trip and during the stay. Highly recommend booking this location!
The property was exactly what we needed. Directly on the beach with two great balconies. Brad was very accommodating and we made use of the bikes he has available. The area is perfect, only a short ride or walk to Alys Beach and Rosemary. There was a very large family on the property at the same time and there was plenty of activity around. Other than the few days that it rained, it was excellent.
We loved our week staying in Brad’s condo! We heard he was a great host even before booking. He was great at communicating during our stay and made sure all of our needs were met! We love this spot so much and will definitely be back!
An excellent value if you are looking for a recently updated beachfront condominium with a private beach that fronts a relatively small number of units.

TOTALLY AWESOME!
Just got back from Blue Tide 7B... and our family vacation was AWESOME! The condo was impressive... huge & comfortable! Excellent location... gorgeous views... and LOVED the uncrowded beach! We will definitely rent again!
Our family went to Seacrest on a family vacation/celebration (Our son’s graduation from MS and family vacation). Brad made our stay amazing. The condo was very roomy for our group of 7. The beach chairs and umbrella provided were very nice. The beach was not crowded, so we could put a tent up for the baby. The condo had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Brads condo. He was very communicative and helpful! The loft was perfect for our 2 college graduates. The rocking chair in the guest bedroom was a plus for rocking the baby. Perfect stay!! Beautiful water! Wonderful condo!
We had the very best time in October on our yearly trip. We have been coming down to this area for years and always like to stay around between The Hub and Alys Beach. We had the very best experience with the condo, the location and communication with the owner. The beach chairs are an added bonus! We have already booked for next year and can't wait for another week in our favorite spot!
My family and I stayed a week at Brad's beautiful condo. It was our first major trip with our young daughter. We really enjoyed the ease of access to the beach and the views from the two decks. The location was very family friendly and we never felt crowded on the beach. The two chairs, umbrella, and drink tray provided with the property were an added bonus. The condo was very close to everything we needed (shopping, food, etc). Brad was extremely generous and helpful throughout our stay. We hope to visit this property again in the future!
Brad was great! He communicated well before the trip and checked on us pretty quickly after arrival. The townhouse was everything we wanted and needed. The balcony was my favorite spot. I could’ve sat there all day and listened to the waves. The beach chairs were just steps away from the stairs down to the beach. The bedrooms had great beds and plenty of space. Our family enjoyed this little piece of heaven and plan to return soon!
Location outstanding, but you will want to be in a good shape to handle the 40+ steps i’ve been down to the beach. The property manager was Fantastic in communicating and handling all concerns. The kitchen is very well stocked although we did suggest a little re-organization of the cabinets. We had a great time overall but we were a little put off initially as it appeared the cleaning crew did not do the kind of job we were expecting. We don’t want to discourage anyone from staying here because as I said we really had a great time, I just hope the property manager can perhaps convince the owners that the condo needs some updating.
Beautiful area, great accommodations, priceless beach access. 12/10 would recommend!
If you are looking for spacious accommodations, beautiful views, a beautiful private beach and the ability to save some money by preparing some of your meals in house then look no further, 7B is exactly what you need.
Our stay was perfect! We are a group of 6 friends celebrating a milestone birthday. We had been lucky enough to stay for a full 7 days and take advantage of the private beach and utilize the kitchen quite a bit. You will need to grab a few items from the grocery store, which is no big deal as there is a Publix just a few min drive away and they also deliver.
The property is in a very convenient spot, between Rosemary Beach and Seacrest Beach, both have lots of shops and eateries and a few options in between. Every morning we were able to get our daily steps in on the beach and enjoy the powder soft sand and clear turquoise water. I cannot stress how perfect and quiet the private beach is for the Blue Tide guests, it is magical, and we felt like royalty.
One morning we were able to see a school of dolphins passing by, as if they were showing us their moves jumping out of the water. The views from the balconies are breathtaking. The king beds are super comfortable and the temperature control in the unit made for a great night’s sleep. We enjoyed every minute, coffee on the balcony, reading on the beach, comfortable down time playing cards, and watching movies, it was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge.
Brad was friendly and thorough in his communications and recommendations. He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, you can tell he takes pride in the condo and the surrounding area. We all agree, we would 100% return to this area, this beach, this condo again if given the chance.
Only thing we would change is 1. planning our meals in advance, this way we could be more efficient with our grocery store runs since the kitchen was so well stocked and we ended up cooking and staying in more than dining out. 2. We would have rented bikes for the week; they are inexpensive and would have allowed us to venture out to explore as the area is very bike and pedestrian friendly. 3. we would have packed less, the unit’s washer and dryer are very large and efficient.
Brad, you are the best, thank you for everything!
The condo was perfect but the beach was even better! It was quiet and private. It was the perfect location. We loved our stay in 7B and will be back! The owner was very thoughtful and would randomly check in to make sure everything was perfect and to our liking ! Thanks for all the memories !
