The check in process was horrible. The staff were rude and all of the luggage carts were taken as no staff member was managing the process we had to carry our luggage to our room. The elevators were horrible which also caused the check in process to be stressful. Do not plan on going anywhere quickly because it will take 10-20 mins for an elevator to open up. The security guards are ridiculous we were singled out 3 separate times by the same security guard and on the third time she followed us to the beach when we came down to tell us we had to move our chairs three inches down from where we were. We could not sit on the balcony of our condo for more than 10 mins without the strong smell of marijuana coming up and several people smoking on the beach around children. This resort is not family friendly. We were quoted 70 a day for an extra rental chairs and were told we cannot have chairs with the chair rental you are provided so be prepared to pay the outrageous price or bring your own tent and chairs to use. The condo itself is very roomy and nice but the beds are uncomfortable. I would not stay here due to the facilities themselves.

The condo is as shown except the balcony a little small. Beds were comfortable & the double vanity was nice. A rug as you walk in the front door would be helpful in keeping the sand out. I would stay here again & recommend to others also.

Elevator nightmare

Elevators very slow as half were not working half of the facility had power outage in halls and staircases with electrical extension cords running temporary lighting in halls. Stairwells dangerously dark. Stayed here many times but this trip was by far not what we expected. We were very disappointed in this facility. The condo however was great.

Problems with Tidewater.

Everything we very good except the elevators. Slow and only 2 operating. The other problem is handicap parking. Only 4 spaces at each elevator floor and was always occupied. Also the condo wasn’t very wheelchair accessible.

Much needed weekend at the beach

This property is amazing. I love the king beds in each of the bedrooms. Being on the beach and being able to hear the surf from my bedroom was what my soul needed! I wish I could have stayed longer. I loved the small touches, like hooks in the shower and a luggage rack( no suitcase on the bed!!!) I noticed in other reviews complaints about the elevators. We did not experience long waits at all. The check in and out process was fairly easy. The only drawback was the 11 page contract I received to sign and send back! I supposed this is for spring breakers, which I am not one of. Overall, a great experience. I already suggested this property to a coworker.

We came for the car show & brought our vintage cars. It was nice to have covered parking & able to buy 2 parking passes. It would have been nice to have instructions in the condo on how to use the tv & streaming options. Very slow acces. Overall a nice experience.

Fantastic visit in September

The condo is amazing and as advertised. Very clean and everything you could want was provided. The view is worth every cent and the location is perfect. Now for the bad: The check in process is something that needs to be updated. Getting a cart for luggage requires leaving your id which is a pain and waiting on elevators is a nightmare. However, having 24 hour security was nice to keep things nice and safe. The beach chair service on the beach is frustrating having to line up at 7:30 am and often waiting over an hour until 8:30 am before you can reserve a chair on the front row which so many people desire. The chair service will say you don't have to line up but its a nice little game and power trip i found they like to play. The swimming pools are nice but are not heated so be aware if traveling during off season the pools can be chili In conclusion its a great condo with a fantastic view that i would definitely stay at again.
