Gulf Front/amazing views-Beach Chairs included

Everything was great. We made a great choice. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay here! We love the view from the condo and how family friendly the beach felt. The condo was overall pretty clean, the only part that didn’t feel clean was the furniture, so we resolved that by putting sheets over them. Definitely would stay again!

We checked in with ease, the location is wonderful! What was unfortunate, was that the back sliding glass door to the condo would not lock. We call that night, and were told to find a broom and shove it in the door. It was just my mother and I there traveling with my child, and she was very upset that we were unable to lock the door. The next day we called for maintenance to come see if they could fix it, heard nothing back, and then was not able to secure our condo the second day. The third day we called back to find out what happened, and they said that maintenance came in, and a part needed to be ordered to fix the lock, and there was no guarantee when this would be corrected. We were in and out of condo from the beach, pool, and town, and did not like that someone could at any point be in and out of the condo, and this already was due to a concern with feeling safe. One morning at 0600 while the door would not lock, we got a very loud knock at the front door, It woke everyone up, and was very unsettling. The condo itself was nice and had the necessary amenities and great location, but given 3 stars due to the fact that we did not feel safe for half of our stay, When they communicated that they weren’t sure when the part would arrive to be able to secure the door, we asked if there was another condo we could relocate to, or if once the part came in we could possibly extend our stay one night due to the inconvenience, we were told that was not an option.

The property was wonderful and the host did a great job with communications. This is a calm, quiet, gorgeous stretch of 30A. The beach only has a few families on it. You can look up or down the beach and see large crowds nearby, and marvel at how much privacy you have. The bikes are great, but make sure to have an air pump. When I filled the tires up, both bikes were well below 20 psi. We used the well-equipped kitchen almost every night. I’m happy that I brought a good pan as the pots and pans aren’t the best. Great knives and plenty of everything else. Just a heads up, the unit has no games if that’s something your family is into. I would return to Blue Tide over and over.

Newly Renovated was the title of the property. When was it newly renovated? 80s or 90s? The bathroom was horrific. Broken door on the vanity. The basin was old and not renovated. The mirror in the bathroom was too high. My husband had to pull gobs of hair and gunk out of the rusted drain in the tub. Gross! Condo could have been cleaner. Also someone parked in our assigned space and we had to find out who it was or it was going to be towed. Horrible TV streaming options. For the price of this condo spring for regular cable. Ended up watching the Family Ties channel. Ugh! Location was good. Most definitely will be looking to stay someone else next time we vacation in 30A.

Overall this condo is exactly as pictured and in a great spot. The beach was never crowded which I’m assuming is because there wasn’t a public beach access close by which is a huge plus. However there were a few things that the condo should have but didn’t. This is our 5th stay in 30A and we’ve never been left with one roll of toilet paper for 4 people for a week. So if you are flying in, just know you’ll need a taxi or a rental car to take you to the store to purchase more. The beach and umbrella set up was not done by 8:30am as listed but at random times. Our last day, it was not set up until around 10:30am. The kitchen is missing a can opener and a spatula. Not a big deal, but worth noting if you plan to cook a lot. The biggest issue for me is a safety one. I’ve never stayed anywhere where I can’t lock the door from the inside without outside access. There is no second dead bolt or latch. So anyone that has the door code can open the door and enter the condo at any time. As a female, I would never feel comfortable staying alone or without my husband in a place that I couldn’t deadbolt the door at night. I hope the management company fixes this issue.

AMAZING views! Gulf front property with direct beach access on the beautiful Hwy. 30 A on Santa Rosa Beach. Peaceful. Very clean. Well appointed. Nicely decorated. An older complex, but well kept and in a prime location. Excellent property management team. We can't say enough positive things about this condo and our stay. Looking forward to our next visit!

Nice clean easy stay.

The perfect place close to everything we wants and just steps away from the beach with great views! Perfect size for my husband and me!

We have been repeated guests at many of the units at Blue Tide. We love the location. The view is spectacular. Other Mamas Beach chair service is exceptional, so kind. The biggest wish for this particular unit for me would be a dresser with drawers so we could get our clothes out of the suitcases. And did I mention THE VIEW?! Had a great stay! Blue Tide has become our favorite getaway.
