Tidewater Beach Resort by Panhandle Getaways

The location was perfect, easy access to the beach.

Elevators were ridiculous. 20-35 min just to get on!

Good Location

I will never go back. The elevators are horrible. I saw this in reviews and went anyway. I regret it. It’s bad enough to ruin a vacation. Apparently it’s been an issue for years. It’s really bad

clean buy you should allow early checking if room is early with minimum or no fee

lift was horrible

Very nice staff, we felt welcome, very good location, the place was nice and tidy.

Although in general we have enjoyed the stay, unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. First of all, I felt a bit scammed because I chose this $100 more expensive condo over another one because pictures show a nice area rug, making it feel more luxurious. Upon arrival we have found a bare floor with no rug. Speaking of the floor, after we entered on day one I lightly pushed a wet wipe on the floor, the wipe turned black, so even though the floor appeared clean at first, it was actually very dirty. On top of that, many things were broken, including some outlets, balcony lock, lights (some missing light bulbs completely) and even the iron, which is listed in the list of amenities. So if we chose this place over another also because this one includes an iron, we would have gotten double scammed. and we clearly didn't get what we were offered, and what we essentially paid for. The room closet, where normally we would be able to put shoes and suitcases, had an old TV on the floor, so the suitcases had to be placed on the walkway. Though we appreciate everything that was provided for us, we were provided with a single laundry pod, so enough for less than half of a single load, which felt a bit skimpy. Also, this one is outside of the owner's reach, but all 3 elevators on this side of the building were broken, so we had to wait in a very long line on the other side of the building that has only 2 elevators because everybody had to go to that side to be able to go up and down. Another thing that might be outside of owner's control, but I hate hidden fees, and instead of being charged $35 for the parking like advertised, we were charged $50 - $45 for the parking instead of $35, plus $5 additional hidden fee. I would be more comfortable if the ad said $50 parking and there is $10 discount for early registration.
