Extremely pleased with our stay on the 3rd floor. The unit was clean and spacious. Beautiful views from the master bedroom and living room balconies. Great location with plenty restaurants and shopping close by!! We were thankful to only have been on the 3rd floor as it was difficult to catch an elevator..that was my only complaint!! Would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful vacation
It truly was a great experience but there are a few things that could have made it better. A potholder, extra kitchen towel, pizza cutter, a spatula to scape out a bowl, and a mop bucket. The big slider in living room doesn’t lock. 2 elevators were out of service our whole trip which did have a huge impact with such a big complex. The women’s steam room was out of service. The weights in weight room are outdated only have numbers like 1,2,3 you have no idea how much you are lifting. Otherwise it was a beautiful vacation very nice staff.

Great stay
This property was great for our family. The Condo room was clean, well equipped, everything worked properly. We had an issue with a box fan that was resolved quickly with excellent customer service. I liked the security system with the bracelets getting in and out of the building. Parking was fairly simple in the parking deck. I like that this property had Grocery buggies to be able to get groceries in and out of your car instead of using luggage racks. Not All the shower heads at the beach were working to be able to wash sand off. That was slightly inconvenient.

The weather was amazing. Great location and close to everything.
Location was great! Loved the pools. Elevators… half of them were out of order. Thankfully we were only on the 3rd floor and only had to use them occasionally.

We liked it a lot because it was close to the sea and there were swimming pools, the only thing was that the elevators didn't work and we had to go up and down stairs.

I loved the place and the location. It was exactly how it was described and clean. A few small things that could’ve been better is the time it took to get on the elevator. Each time we had to wait almost 45 minutes. Also there were not a lot of things to that was walking distance from the place. But other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at tidewater. There was plenty of seating for everyone, which is often a problem. The amenities were wonderful. We loved that there were beach chairs included with the rental. We’re also so grateful to the staff of Real Joy for finding my daughter’s necklace she left in the unit. It really means a lot to her. Thank you so much.

Had a blast!!! We will be back and use this same location!!!
The location was amazing. Beach view while drinking my coffee was my favorite. The condo was big. It smelled really clean when you first walked in. Just How the door wouldn’t lock just by closing it. You really had to pull it hard to make sure it closed.

Condo was very clean and well maintained. Great location within walking distance to Pier Park. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Real Joy responded quickly and efficiently when contacted. Only complaint is the long waits at the elevator at times. Be ready to take the stairs to the third floor if you don’t want to wait!

My family and I had the best time! The place was perfect for our party of 8. We had ample room! The pictures don’t do it justice. Great for young kids, young adults, and retirees. Walking distance to Peer Park! The view was unreal! Seasonal chairs were great! Would go again!
