Great condo! We did have maintenance issues and they were quick to respond. Elevators are slow but being on 2nd floor made it tolerable. Overall, great trip and great condo!

We had a few minor issues, Vacasa responded immediately to assist us. The only feedback was lack of extra bedding like a blanket in the bed or an extra blanket. Our bedroom was right off the walkway and needed room darkening curtains as the blinds didn’t block the light but that is more if a personal issue that I need full dark to sleep, Vacasa was very good, woukd rent again.

Family enjoyed the property being on the beach. I will say, the staff were extremely friendly. Did not enjoy the smell of the ground floor, constantly smelled like throw up. The elevators took an extremely long time to arrive, regardless of what floor you were on. The condo itslef was less than what I had expected. The bunk beds were stable but the mattresses were super thin and uncomfortable. We really could have used a broom in the condo to help with the sand. The bathtub did not drain right away. The last thing I want to be doing is standing in dirty water while I'm trying to shower. Only 1 roll of toilet paper and paper towels. Trash bags did not fit in the trashcan in the kitchen. Washer and dryer were a surprise and a let down at the samw time. Nice being able to launder throughout the week but the dryer was awful. It took nearly 3 hours for a tiny load to comete drying. I enjoyed Panama but dont think id return to this particular resort.

Room and view was great they need to get the elevators working looking at reviews that's been a problem for a very long time took us over an hour to check out because of lack of elevators working so sad because it is a nice resort but elevators are a big issue here many times waiting for a very long to get one.

There are not enough elevators for the amount of guests that stay there. The wait for the elevator is anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour (not over exaggerating). At one point I was tired of waiting and walked up 17 flights of stairs (42 year old woman). We were going to a baseball tournament that week and had to add an extra 30 - 45 minutes to our time to leave earlier than we needed to because we didn’t want my nephew to be late. Also, only having one functioning elevator for the garage is absurd. A common theme we heard from other guests is that they would never be back because a lot of their time was wasted in waiting for elevators. One night the fire alarm went off on the second floor and we were on the 17th. My mom called and asked if the fire alarm was going off up there. I told her we didn’t hear anything. Also, if there was a fire all 30 floors would not be able to evacuate quick enough.

Our family of 6 enjoyed the proximity to the beach and entertainment (Pier Park is a 15-minute walk). The fee for 5 nights was moderate; however, there are things I wish I would’ve known before booking: 1. Lack of adequate number of elevators- problematic from arrival and unloading, grocery delivery, midday trips to the room, and evenings out. The elevators were ALWAYS full; 2. Walkability- no consistent sidewalks in the area- definitely did not want to get car out of parking garage to go 1/2 mile; 3. Lack of on-site/ close dining; 4. I almost missed the additional property fee- nominal- and registration process that was buried in the booking (downloaded Vacasa and within the app and information there was a link with additional form to complete with payment required); 5. Check in is 4-6 pm (yes, a 2-hour window with the elevator issue really was interesting) and checkout is 10am with no early check in/ luggage drop/ changing room to go to the beach option. While these times are standard, it still felt like we “lost” out on 6 hours of vacation time. Would we book here again? Maybe. The price was affordable and the general location desirable, but we’d definitely see about booking a lower floor or adjust expectations on the time we would spend waiting.

Just okay

Our condo itself, we had no real issues with. The elevators and the wait for one at this resort is AWFUL!!! We will not stay here again based on elevators. Some staff is friendly, others are rude/condescending. We did like all the ammenity options. Didn't try out everything, but it was nice to have a range of choices. There is beach service directly in front of the resort but beware, you cannot put up your own canopy, umbrella, or chairs behind the rows of beach service chairs. You have to walk all the way to the end of the beach service chairs to set up your own. Resort was relatively clean. We and a bunch of other people got caught in a big summer FL storm and there were resort employees mopping up water where everyone was dripping trying to get out of the rain. Made the wait for an elevator worse than normal though. We had to climb 13 flights of stairs with children and all our stuff unless we wanted to wait thirty plus minutes for an elevator ride. Parking deck seemed slightly cramped going around turns. It also said no golf carts allowed in parking decks, and we noticed several. So obviously not all rules are enforced. And the cannabis smell. Obviously the no smoking rule is ignored too. Overall, we had a fun week. But I don't see us running to stay here again

It wasn't like other condos that I have stayed at before. It wasn't as clean as I would of expected. There were many flaws with the condo, such as TV's not working, remotes missing, dishwasher backflow into the garbage disposal, hair from former guest in the bathroom, and the floors were covered with sand. To top it off, I never got my confirmation email from Vacasa, so the check in was really rough. They did after the fact try to email it to me 3 times, but it never arrived, till my last day. I will not stay at Tidewater ever again. There are a lot of other condos, at the same price with better customer service and cleanliness. The only thing that saved us was we were at PCB. It is a shame, we work all year for this one week, and its costly. Not just the condo, but dinners and entertainment. I couldn't wait to leave the condo. I did tell Vacasa employees of the issues, but I guess they were all so busy. Oh, I forgot to mention a Vacasa employee with no curtesy needing to change out fire detectors. Didn't ask if this was a bad time. We had no warning. They just barged in and said they had to do it right now. They could've done it the day we checked out. And they left a mess to boot.

Did not like the fact that I was chewed out by housekeeping for checking my code for the room early. I was instructed by check in desk to go up and see if my code worked yet, when i did the rudest good for nothing housekeeper yelled and chewed me out infront of my guest. She said no one would of told us that. Went back to check in desk and advised her of her mistake. Then i was supposed to of been notified when my room was ready but they said they had been trying to call me for 3 hours to tell me it was ready, figured out real quick they had been dialing the wrong number even tho they had reached out to me just hours earlier to collect parking fees. They had the correct number then 😆 so in return they had cancelled my entry code and had to start all over. So to summarize i give 👎 👎 👎 to the staff
