We absolutely loved our stay at the Tides. Brenda was such a great host. Our room was spacious and clean. Loved that it had a refrigerator and a wash & dryer. It made traveling with an infant so much much easier. I also loved being able to wake up and enjoy coffee on the balcony. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk. We were able to walk to the Fish Fry which I highly recommend. The grocery store is less than a 10 minute drive but be aware, it is VERY expensive. We are already planning our next trip to the Tides.
We booked 8 nights at The Tides and really enjoyed our stay. Our room with a den had a bit of a quirky lay out but had the added bonus of being on the top floor with a partial ocean view that we weren't expecting. It worked out great for us because we had a cloudy week so when the beach wasn't ideal, we were content to relax on our very large balcony with the ocean view and great breezes. Definitely have dinner down the street at Mr. Grouper's restaurant for excellent fish and a fun atmosphere. Lots of people watching on the beach which is just a very short walk (or golf cart ride) from the hotel and since it is a public beach access, a lot of the tour companies pick up for boat excursions from there. And the Looking Glass photo shoot company sets up most days providing interesting entertainment if you choose to watch! LOL All the advantages of a beachfront hotel without the exorbitant cost. Will stay again!
Staff were excellent and very welcoming. The location is great eventhough it’s not a beachfront property. We had kitchen and laundry amenities which worked perfectly for us. Would recommend this hotel.
