Great place to stay!
We stayed here in November and found Family tides to be a lovely house, backing onto a green space. All amenities are nearby and includes a pass to the pool/gym to use. Overall a great place to stay.

Delightful stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house itself is beautifully presented, very clean and feels like a home from home. I’ve stayed at the Bay once before so if I come back, I’ll definitely choose Family Tides.

A lovely house on a holiday park
The house is lovely and ideal for our needs, it’s a quant park with a nice centre. Very quite nice access to the beach.
Being picky the only issue was the sofa isn’t very comfortable.
Communication was excellent all the way through from the host and all amenities were taken care off

Lovely family stay
Nice, well equips house, with all you need.
The house was warm and beds very comfy, ample room in second bedroom even with the 3 beds so great for kids.
Sofa bed easy to use but not made up in advance.
I formation file needs a refresh but everything easy to find in site,. Pool was clean but an issue with changing rooms meant ladies had to enter through male changing!
Lovely walk to beautiful Filey beach. All in all highly reccomended

January Break
The accommodation was clean and tidy location was excellent. Although there was tea and coffee there, were no condiments which was a shame.
I felt that the outside furniture in the lounge prevented you from accessing the coat hooks.
However it was still a lovely stay

Thanks for the review. If we had known we would have dropped some condiments off as we didn't realise we'd run out! All topped up now!

Easter Break
Family Tides is a very well presented house on a lovely development. The house was very clean and the decoration was in excellent order. Communications from Paula were excellent throughout the whole process from booking to arrival. The Bay is a lovely development with well tended lawns and borders. The beach is only a 10 minute walk away and it forms part of Filey bay providing beautiful views. We will return to The Bay again.

Family Tides
The second property we have stayed in on the Bay and another excellent property in a wonderful resort. In wonderful condition this is a lovely modern place with everything you would want to make your stay a great one.
Slight issue in that it had not been cleaned when we arrived but after a phone call the cleaners arrived in 10 minutes and put everything right. They were apologetic and very friendly. This response was 10/10.
Love the Bay resort.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Nov 2023
I'm sorry the clean was missed, but so glad our cleaners sorted it quickly and appreciate your understanding. You're most welcome back anytime.

Family Tides
Lovely weekend spent in Family Tides, great location. Just about everything was provided, bed was quite comfortable but so glad we took our own pillows! The fencing provided was a good idea to keep the dog safe, would have liked some insect screens as there was a lot of bugs & flying spiders after having the patio doors open. The check in time of 4pm is quite late as that’s a day wasted. Overall we enjoyed our stay, this was our second time staying at The Bay & will definitely be back although it is very expensive,Cooper the dog had a lovely time too!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept 2023
Glad you enjoyed your stay at Family Tides and will definitely be back. In the winter months, we offer a few early check-ins each day where our cleaners can accommodate them, so that's worth looking at next time. Also it's only a little more for a 3 night break than a 2 night so that would give you longer too.
