The home was advertised as updated. Not sure what was considered to be updated. Things were dirty and the kitchen was not functional. Every time the oven was on the smoke alarm went off. MBR was infested with lovebugs inside, the sinks clogged, and maintenance was unwilling to assist. They told us to clean it up. Very disgusted. The only thing wonderful was the view. Will not recommend.

DO NOT RENT THIS UNIT. FALSE ADVERTISING. 1). This unit DOES NOT include beach service. (If you’ve been to 30A you understand why this is an issue). It advertises as such then in small print they send you an email saying “not included” When we arrive the beach service said it was not reserved for the WHOLE SEASON so it’s not just a fluke. False advertising! 2). THIS UNIT IS NOT UPDATED. See pics. Couch is old and worn out. Kitchen cupboards are plywood and old and deteriorating at the edges. Glass table top comes up every time you apply pressure. Seat cushions are FLAT. Bed pillows are FLAT. 3) Things don’t work: dishwasher doesn’t get things clean. Dishes in cupboard weren’t clean. Freezer quit working. Lights didn’t work. Power went out with a small thunderstorm. 4) DIRTY: couch, kitchen chair cushions are filthy and old. We requested the rug under the table to be removed. It was AWFUL. Had not been vacuumed. Half the pile was smooshed and brown, the part under the table was cream and raised. 5). I requested a refund on beach service or beach service provided and no accommodation was made. Even with the listing STILL ADVERTISING FREE BEACH SERVICE. This is not about having a seat for your bum. It’s about not sitting behind everyone else bc you don’t have the “included” beach service. I was told “you could have canceled”… yea, after I’d booked it during a promotional period and now other units are more expensive. This is our 14th yr @30A. We won’t stay here again

Blue Tide was a great experience

The Blue Tide is a beautiful condo with stunning views of the ocean. The condo itself had plenty of space for us and our kids. There is a walk out stairway from the back balcony that leads directly to the beach. We had a great stay.

A good place to stay

We had a g pod experience. It’s a really nice property. Living room furniture is a little tired maybe needs to be refreshed or cleaned.And you’re not allowed to have fires in the fireplace, which was a bummer since it was super cold and was the main reason we wanted to rent here.

Great vacation

Overall a great stay. The condo could use some freshening up (ceiling had pieces missing, drawer handles missing, water damage in ceiling, there was some food still left in the sink/disposal) but for the most part it was very nice. Beach area was great- not crowded at all and the chair/umbrella service was great. Our first time in the area and we enjoyed it. Much less crowded than Destin or PCB has become.

Your own beach

We enjoyed our stay - first time at Blue Tide, though we usually stay in the same area. The townhouse was nice - largely well-updated. I'm sure that the kitchen is next on the project list. The beds were very comfortable and the place clean. As expected, there are a lot of stairs both in the rental as well as to the beach, so if you are not a stair climber, this is not the place for you. But, if you like your "own" comfortable space and a gorgeous beach at a reasonable price, this is a fantastic option.

Not a nice condo

We’ve stayed at blue tide 4 times now because of the location and size of the condos. Every time we’ve been extremely happy. Because of the huge increase in price overall we weren’t able to stay in the normal 3 bedroom we liked, but we were fine with a 2 bedroom in the same complex because of the money it saved us (the amount was still hundreds more than we’ve ever paid for blue tide). Short and to the point, the condo was dirty overall, there was a leak above the sliding door that poured water down the wall during the rainstorm, and worst of all, there were roaches. The roaches alone have us looking to stay somewhere else outside of blue tide the next time we stay in Seacrest.

I miss it already!

We loved our time there. It would have been 5 stars but the property manager forgot to send us an entry code so we missed the sunset. She did say she was very sorry. We all make mistakes, but when the sun goes down there is not getting that sunset back. We were going to have to pay extra to check in early (I do understand the need for this policy. And elected not to because of the cost. Our goal was not to have to unload in the dark because it gets dark so early this time of year, and to catch our first sunset from the balcony. If we were allowed just a 1/2 earlier had she not forgot to send the code both would have been possible. But I am over it. The carpet should probably get replaced. Or cleaned. I am sure with families it is hard to keep clean. There was also soda or something that had been sprayed on the wall in a corner by the sofa. These are little things, we had all that we needed except a spatula to use when cooking. I am guessing previous guest melted it since the utensils were plastic . We look forward to coming back. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast every morning on the deck overlooking the ocean, and loved the evening sunset views. Thank You for sharing this beautiful unit!

Fantastic Stay!

We had a great time staying at Blue Tide. The condo was clean, had everything we needed, and the check in/check out process was simple! The access off the back deck to the beach was absolutely amazing and so easy to navigate with young kids and all of the beach toys. If you are having doubts booking this property, don’t! We will definitely be staying again.

PERFECTION

The six of us absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful condo! The owners are ideal hosts. One can tell they have an attention to detail and thought of the good of guests in all that they offer. This condo is pristine in cleanliness. Being a germaphobe i even brought my own blankets and sheets. Never used mine though as the sheets and quilt were upscale and truly clean. The rooms are all large. The 2nd bedroom is quite large with plenty of room for 4 people to move about, place their luggage and rest separately in the queen bed and two twins. The Master bedroom is a dream with it’s own balcony and spaciousness that even includes a massage chair. The bed is very comfortable. Love that they have the bed in a location so one can see the water when resting. A shout out for the furniture selection of both balconies. A high table and chairs for the first floor balcony is exactly what is needed so that one can see over the railings instead of through them. The master bedroom balcony chairs and cushions were obviously selected for comfort as well as beauty. We definitely used the balconies due to the hosts excellent selections. There are three full bathrooms. Perfect to have a shower in the bathroom on the first floor. The first floor is huge. Love that you can see the water from the kitchen & living room. Laundry room is right next to the kitchen. This kitchen is incredibly well stocked. They had everything we could have needed and more. We were thankful for the sound proof walls between the units, ceilings, and what were obviously hurricane proof sliding floor to ceiling window doors facing the water. The location was perfect. Quiet. Peaceful. We road our bikes to The Hub @ Watersound and to Rosemary for meals. Loved the small cliff the condos were located on and the beautiful natural & flowering greenery on the cliffs. The steps were perfect and seemed to be not quite three floors of steps. The free beach service was such a gift! A needed bonus to such an ideal spot to stay. The height of the condo on the cliffs made the beach useable, enjoyable and ideal to watch the sea life and beauty. Everyday we saw pods of dolphins going back and forth. Anxiously awaiting a return to this ideal condo!
