Hello,
Apologies for the cool pool. We truly do everything we can to ensure that our pools are a minimum of 85°F at all times. However, reviews like this help us to understand that we need to get better, so thank you!
Family Tides was perfect for our group of 23. The location is great. We were just a short walk to the beautiful beach, grocery store, and shopping. The pool area is fantastic! Lots of room to hangout. Plenty of seating. The grills are also a plus! It was nice to have a hot tub for the early mornings and evenings. The house itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The large room off the pool area was nice for us to gather at. The garage was stocked with beach accessories-wagon, chairs, umbrellas and more. The host was great to work with. We absolutely would recommend this property. Our stay was very enjoyable!

This amazing property allowed our large family (21) to have wonderful together time yet have our own space when needed. The location to the beach was so convenient. The private pool was the kids favorite.

It was great to have you and your family stay again. Thanks for choosing Family Tides.
Each one of the Suites cater to our needs and the pool was a big plus. And we were only a few steps from the beach, which made it even better again. Definitely would stay again. Host was very responsive to our needs.

Thank you for staying at Family Tides and thank you for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
It is very good property with 5 minute walk to the beach access. swimming pool is very good and kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking. We enjoyed this place.
Perfect location and great amenities for the entire family
3 min walk to the beach, beautiful sunsets on the roof, lazy days at the pool side in the back, spacious accommodations for family time, what more could you ask for?
Great property for our family of 20 - adults and kids. Outside space and pool area were well enjoyed. Key pad locks were nice but the kids figured out to unlock them quickly. The downstairs room was very useful. If it had a stove it would have been perfect. The property is in good condition.

Great location close to beach and stores, our group of teenagers enjoyed having their own space and everyone loved the pool. The space is huge, having different kitchens worked out well and everything was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Family Tides!
This was a great place to stay for our family reunion of 22 people from 6 different households , with 3 generations ( teenagers to senior citizens) and 8 teens. We appreciated the large swordfish suite living area and kitchen where we usually gathered, but also liked the separate 4 smaller suites with smaller kitchens and washer/dryers where each family could spend the occasional introverted time. The property was well stocked for pool time, beach time, and home cooked meals. Very conveniently located to beach, Publix grocery store pharmacy, beach supply store, coffee and many others. The 6 person electric golf cart was also useful for easily cruising to either norther or southern tip of the island.

We are so glad to hear that hosting your family reunion at Family Tides was a success. Thank you for trusting us with your vacation.
We were having an anniversary celebration and this was the perfect accommodations. We were 18 total and the size was great. Our own pool, rec room and very close to the beach , which is beautiful . The stay was fantastic!!!
The location of the house was perfect! It had everything we needed and then some. Loved all different apartments. We would absolutely rent this house again.
The property was awesome. Ideal for large families or families traveling together. It is just a few steps from the beach and the out door pool area was great for visiting with family. The property manager was very responsive and helpful! Highly recommend this beautiful home!!
