Reviewer Comments:
The unit was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the ocean. Security staff were all very friendly. Disappointed that the advertised Tides building is "beachfront,only a few quick steps until your tired feet set foot on the white, sandy beaches." and the only way to get to the beach from the Tides, prior to 9:00 am, is to walk around to the front of Beach Manor, and while there is a sidewalk, it was dug up and roped off in several places which meant walking on the slanted, uneven ground around the pond. We walk daily and due to the cool windy weather attempted to walk through the Tops'l grounds the first couple of days instead of the beach. There was a lot of construction going on with the sidewalks and homes having roofs repaired. In many places we had to walk in the street or off the side in the grassy area. It would have been nice to know all of that prior to our visit. We rented chairs on the beach for 6 days and decided to spend our last day relaxing at the pool as the unit was advertised as having access to 2 Gulf front pools, building pool & resort pool, we had planned on staying on site the full day, eating at the Blue Dunes Grill and retiring early as we had an early flight the next day. Instead, a sign was put out about 1:00 pm, saying the lower pool and restaurant would be closing at 2:00 for a special event, which happened to be a wedding at 5:00 on the beach. It would have been nice to have been made aware of that in advance so that we could have made other arrangements. Then at 1:45 a man from the restaurant came out on the patio and rudely screamed for everyone to get their stuff and leave the pool now, that they were closing! We moved to the "Tides" pool but needless to say we did not have dinner at the Blue Dunes Grill, we also weren't able to retire early due to the festivities that went on until late. Overall the vacation was good, but the construction was an annoyance and the day at the pool left a lot to be desired.
