The Tides by the Sea

Where to begin- when we arrived, we went to the front office and was given a code. When we got to the unit, that code didn’t work so she had to remote open the unit and send us a new code. When we got in, it was humid to the point where everything felt damp nd had a mildew smell. With our group size, we needed to use the pull out bed in the sofa and it was disgusting with visible stains. There was no bedding or pillows for the pull out bed and none were ever brought to us even after we requested pillows from the front desk. We ended up putting the sofa cushions under the pullout mattress so we didn’t feel the bars and I almost went to sleep in my car as that probably would have been more comfortable. The bathroom was visibly dirty in the tub with stains, so bring shower shoes. The kitchen cabinets were sticky and visibly dirty as well. Thankfully I did get a partial refund because it was a horrible nights stay. No one slept because even the regular beds made noise with every motion and we could hear the people above us. The only redeeming quality was that the location was wonderful with an easy walk to the beach. Overall, do not waste your time. I booked on Airbnb for almost $400 for 1 night which is a joke for how much of a dump (unit 141) was. Total rip off.

This review is specifically for unit 150. While the kitchen and bathroom were clean, the floor was not. Almost the whole apartment is carpeted and layered with several throw rugs. The rugs were matted and hairy and the carpet was filthy. If your kids are complaining about the cleanliness you know it's bad. We stayed 2 nights and in that time the wi-fi never worked. The only option we had was to watch dvds. The apartment has beautiful views though.

The Tides By The Sea is awesome. Our stay was super pleasant and great and the Studio we had was very comfortable and well supplied. It had a scenic view of the ocean and the beach access was only a short walk away. The owners gave wonderful recommendations of restaurants and shopping places. After checking out, we received a call saying we left an attache case behind. The owner sent it priority mail the next day. We've never experienced this much consideration by a member of the hospitality industry. We had a wonderful experience at Tides By The Sea and would stay again!
