Everything was wonderful about the condo and beach. Only thing that will never bring us back tidewater in general was 15-20 minute waits just to use the elevator. That got a little ridiculous. But the room itself was as described and had a great view.

I enjoyed the entire stay start to finish. I had no issues with our room, nor with Tidewater. Our stay was absolutely perfect. The room was exactly as described. I never had any issues where I needed to contact RealJoy so I didn’t need to deal with customer service so for me that’s a win!! Would absolutely stay here again! 10/10

This spot was fantastic. The condo staff was friendly as well. Our room was clean, cute, comfortable. My favorite view of any trip so far! The elevator would be the only downside but honestly it’s worth it. The pools were nice, the shore was beautiful, close enough to the pier for entertainment.

The views were beautiful from the room! Pool was perfect and the bar at the pool was great also. Will stay again. Only issues we had were the elevators. Sometimes it took 45 minutes to an hour to get from the 7th floor to the first floor. The middle elevators are ran by someone selecting what floors they are willing to stop at instead of the people pressing the buttons to get down. The side elevators were better as at least we could see what floor the elevator it going on. We had to have someone at the front desk have someone use the middle elevator to come to our floor so we could go down as my husband’s handicap and can do stairs. But other than the elevators the stay was great!
