Pros: The condo was very clean. It is in an awesome location! It is so nice to just go downstairs and be right on the beach. There are beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach toys in the closet so there is no need to buy this extra stuff. The instructions for check-in were very clear. I liked that we could self-park. The condo had two nice large bedrooms. While we were there (late July) it was very quiet. For a family of four, it was perfect.
Cons: For the building itself you need a fob to go anywhere. There were a lot of pool rules we were not aware of and the Tides staff does enforce them. The condo itself has old worn-out-looking appliances, but they do work fine. Some small changes such as replacing bathroom mirrors and beat-up-looking light switches and vents could make the place look much nicer.
