View was perfectOnly a few cons ac didnt work the first two days we were there it made it somewhat uncomfortable to sleep. Also be aware once you start cooking in the unit roaches will start to come out. I figure the whole building has them.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations. While we understand how frustrating the air conditioning issue was, we would like to clarify that it was not reported to our team until after it had already been occurring for some time. Once we were notified, we immediately dispatched a technician and the issue was resolved within a few hours. We were also concerned to hear about the pest concerns you described. Had this been reported during your stay, we would have gladly investigated and taken appropriate action. Guest comfort is extremely important to us, and we take reports like these seriously. We understand that comfort is a major part of any vacation experience, and we're disappointed to hear we fell short during your stay. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us improve for future guests.

Overall great place

We had no complaints about our room and the amenities. All very nice, however the building’s maintenance over elevator was poor. We had to do a lot of waiting to get up and down.

Wonderful stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time staying at the tidewater and we had a wonderful weekend.Celebrated my husband’s birthday and the place was nice. The elevators were a little wonky and only 2 out of the 6 worked. We didn’t have to wait to long, but I can see during busy season it will be a problem. It was a little cold to swim in the ocean or outdoor pools, but the hot tubs and the indoor pool was nice. Overall we had a great time. 10/10 would recommend.

Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room and view was great. But on the other hand the elevator's were horrible anywhere from 15 to 30 minute wait, ridiculous. Plus no bell hops, have had bell hops at all our other resorts, but not this one. No ice machines on any floors. And the tiki bar should be out near the beach so ppl could hear the music and enjoy it like we were able to down at Myrtle Beach.

Great View!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our checkin process was easy, and we were provided our information in a timely manner via text message. The view from the balcony is amazing, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen was equipped with the necessary items to cook, and the air conditioning worked well! Yes, the elevator situation can be frustrating but don’t let it deter you from booking this rental, they were working on improving the situation during our stay. They appoint staff members to help with the elevators during peak hours, but we found that if you utilize them during non peak hours, wait times are little no nothing. I would book this room over and over again.

Great location with a beautiful view but with a price.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room itself was really good. It had all we needed towels, utensils, plates, cookware, etc. and it was clean. It had an amazing view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. 100% nothing wrong with the room or its amenities. We had 5 people and the condo had plenty of room for us. The only issue and it was quite annoying is the elevators. It was not uncommon to expect a 10-15 minute wait when it is busy (~9am-7pm). If you are ok with that then this is the place for you.

In desperate need of repairs

Our room itself was fine. The AC wasn't working when we arrived, but they had us flip the breaker and it started working again. The big issue is the complex itself. It's very old and shows it's age. Most notably, the elevators. Not only are there not enough of them, they are routinely out of service. The one in the parking garage and one of the ones in building on our side were out the entire week we were there. So you had to walk up and down the stairs in the garage every day. Then it took an average of 10-30 minutes to catch an elevator. It was crazy! They actually tell you at check in that it can take up to 30 minutes during peak times. This morning, all 5 main elevators were out. We walked down to the very end and finally found 1 that was working. The gates in and out of the parking garage were also broken all week.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the room itself met your needs and that the AC issue was quickly resolved. We’re very sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced with the elevators and parking garage during your stay. While these amenities are managed by the complex itself, we understand how frustrating they can be and appreciate your patience. We value your detailed observations, as they help future guests know what to expect, and we hope that despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy your time at the property.

Trip was good. Location was excellent. Room cleanliness was good but not great. Elevator service was fair only. Resort was very crowded.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your trip and found the Tidewater location to be excellent. We appreciate your comments regarding the cleanliness of the condo and will share your feedback with our housekeeping team as we continue working to provide a consistent experience for our guests. We also understand your comments regarding the elevators and resort crowds. Tidewater is one of the tallest buildings in the area, and elevator wait times can increase during peak vacation periods when occupancy is high. The elevators and common areas are managed by the condominium association, but we understand how these factors can impact the overall guest experience. Thank you for choosing Gibson Beach Rentals. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another stay on the Emerald Coast.
