Clean Room and beach view was perfect. The master bedrooms bed was very comfortable. The condo just needs to be updated. I would stay here again. It was a perfect condo for what I needed to get away and relax. Weather was perfect.

Love this place! Enough room for everyone to fit comfortably and phenomenal view of the beach! Only thing is that the place could use some updating compared to the other rentals we’ve stayed in at Tides Tops’l. Would stay here again!
We loved being away from the crowds. Will definitely stay here again

My husband and I had a terrific weekend in this property. It was clean and comfortable. Everything was as described. The view was gorgeous! Loved the balcony! Short drive to shopping and dining options. Would stay again.
This condo had an amazing view of the sunset! The place was very clean, we had everything we needed as far as dishes, pots and pans etc. We loved having the pickleball courts! It is a gated community which made you feel secure. We will be back for sure!

We rented this condo (and another next to it) for a family vacation. We loved the location. The views were spectacular! There were plenty of places to sit inside and outside; the beds were comfortable; and the kitchen had everything we needed for a week's stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone searching for a relaxing place to vacation!

Great family vacation. The location of the condo with incredible ocean views can’t be overstated. Only thing i would Recommend is more dishes in the cabinets. Only 2 coffee cups and limited cooking utensils and dishes. That , however, doesn’t take away how beautiful the condo is.

The Tides @ Tops’l is great area! Nice pool area & area very clean.
Love the area! However, unit 805 desperately needs new living room furniture. They are worn out, especially chairs to table. You can actually see the sunken in places. Extremely uncomfortable. Will stay at The Tides again...just not 805.

The Condos view was amazing as soon as you walk in. Nice clean furniture and well stocked with kitchen amenities. Beds were comfortable with plenty of bedding even for the pullout sofa. All was good except for the sloppy painting job on the walls and doors, and the broken tiles in the kitchen need to be replaced. Beautiful condo and will stay here again for sure.

Overall we enjoyed the property and the beach. As other reviews have noted, the furniture is old and many of the fixtures are showing their age. The dining chairs have a funky odor and feel as if the upholstery might give way when you sit. Unfortunately I was hit by a blowing pool umbrella on our 3rd day and had to go to the ER with a head injury. Terrible end to a fairly pleasant stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The resort location was great. The room location was even better. Quick easy access to the beach! The patio/balcony overlooking the ocean and pools, was very large and the family spent a lot of time out there. The kitchen seemed to be updated, and I love the no hassle check in/check out process. The furniture in the living room is very old and worn. The guest bed was so uncomfortable and squeaky, our 27 year old opted to sleep in the kiddie bunk bed because it was more comfortable. The kitchen is updated but the bathrooms are not. Ultimately, we threw sheets over the furniture, showered with water shoes and problem solved. The views and location were so great it cancelled out any negatives for us. We’d definitely still go back. No questions asked.

Owners have invested ZERO to update this condo.
If you want to know what the Tides at Tops'l looked like when it was built in 1998, just rent this unit. This is our 8th stay at these condos, and they are wonderful. But do not pick this unit. Find one that has been updated. They updated the kitchen, but the flooring and bathrooms are original. The key was rusted into the safe, the closet doors were rusted and broken. The shower was God-awful. The owners clearly don't care, since the views will sell the place. But, there are much better units in the condo building Renter beware.

We love the Tides. Great location and easy to navigate. This rental left some to be desired. The furniture, couch, chairs, dining table chairs were uncomfortable. They seem to be just worn out. This condo was not as up to date as others at the Tides. The beds however were exceptionally comfortable. Probably wouldn’t have mattered as much but we tried to isolate due to COVID-19. I don’t think we would chose this unit again. Hope this helps.

Overall the unit is dated and in need of upgrading. The location and view however are excellent. Kitchen floor is cracked in about a dozen places. Glasses, plates and silverware are mismatched and low in quality & quantity. Had to run the dishwasher 1/3rd full constantly. Dryer takes 2+ hours to dry a load - vent likely needs to be cleaned out. Extra paint cans and decor items need to be removed from closets. Furniture is dated but good quality. New patio furniture was a nice upgrade.

The rental location was amazing. You can’t beat waking up to those amazing views. The amenities on site were very nice, and our youngest enjoyed the kids’ activities. The rental itself is in good shape. The dryer did not work. The rental company did offer to do a laundry service in exchange, but we couldn’t leave our towels or clothing for 24 hours, so we went without washing or drying which was a minor inconvenience. I do appreciate they responded quickly though. The condo is spacious. The inclusion of folding chairs was nice to take to the beach with us. The master bed was very hard, but I know mattresses are often a personal preference and that others might like that. Overall it was a good stay, and we’d come to Tops’l Tides again.
