This was a great condo for me and my family (4 of us total- that eventually came down). It’s in a great location. It’s not one of the massive condo properties so that’s nice too. Owners were super to work with and we hope to return to this same place in the future.

"The best surprise is no surprise"

We've stayed at this property before and like the location and the size of the unit for a couple with modest needs. Tidewater is smaller than most of the big multistory units on the beach, around 13-14 floors if I recall. But nicely maintained and near the Perdido Pass area of Orange Beach. We didn't have any interaction with the Cranston's this trip, but they are good people who take care of their properties. And the weather was kind to us this trip, which isn't always a guarantee in March. Looking forward to coming back soon! (But the fish weren't biting, my surf casting attempts rolled snake eyes this year.)

Great condo directly on the beach.

Perfect spot directly on the beach. Walking distance to a clean beach area. The only problem was that we were not aware that toilet paper, paper towels, etc. were not included.

Family Vacation

We had a great trip to Orange Beach. The property was as listed. We did not have any trouble with the sliding doors, as some of the reviews stated. We did have an issue with the hot water, but it was fixed in a timely manner and then we had no issues. The owner was very easy to contact. Not about the unit itself, but the elevators were pretty slow for the condo. This may not be a normal issue, as there was a group of 120 teens staying in the condos at the time we were there. Again, not an issue with the actual unit, but the condo in general. If you have kids, a pirate ship sails by several times per day. It “shoots” it’s cannons around the time it is passing Tidewater. My kids were very excited every time this happened. Very pleased with our stay.

Grad trip

Overall we enjoyed our graduation trip at the beach, but we would not stay in this room again. The cleaning supervisor was there right when we checked in. She approved the whole room. But our shower curtain was covered in mold, which I am highly allergic to. I was sick all week. There was food left in the sink even though it was approved. we did not have a trash can and had to go buy one. And our door would not lock properly

Overall satisfied

We were not informed of what was stocked so we did not know we needed to bring garbage bags & toilet paper ect Bathroom was small with very little counter space & the bed in master was up against a wall which makes it difficult to get in & out. Having a kitchen & a washer & dryer was nice. It took a lot of time to figure out TV in living room need better directions. Patio door difficult to open. Great view & was very clean.

The perfect spot

First trip to Orange Beach. It is beautiful. Condos are nice, no troubles at all. A few tips. They have chairs to rent on the beach. 35 for two with umbrella. Soooooo worth it. This is a private beach so it is wet clean and peaceful. Big Mikes has the best rib eye I have eaten out in along time, Tacky Jacks and Docs were also great. Good service reasonably priced. All in all one of my fave beach trips.

Great condo with a perfect location!

We had an amazing time! This was the perfect get away for my family. The condo was wonderful. The two pools and hot tub were a hit with my daughter and the access to the beach was great. The view from the room was pretty much unbeatable. The location was perfect with a lot of restaurants close. Everything was nice and clean as described. The only issue we had at all was the water pressure in the kitchen was not good from time to time but the shower water pressure was great!

kitchen drain problems

In general things went well. The unit was clean and matched the description and pictures. The drain in the kitchen did have draining problems. I contacted the owner and he brought Drano to the unit for us to use. The Drano cleared the draining problem. The only other slight flaw was that there was only one hand towel and one towel for the kitchen. Paper product supplies were very minimal. The property itself was a good value and we enjoyed it.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Cranston

I started coming to Gulf Shores back in the early 1980's as a high school student with my family. I later introduced my wife, Dawn, to the area and she fell in love with it as well. We have two beautiful daughters, Isabella and Gabrielle. Since that time we have owned a number of condominiums in the area over the years. We currently reside locally in Craft Farms Golf community.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of Tidewater. It is just west of Perdido Pass, directly on the beach. It is beautiful sitting on the balcony and watching the boats go in and out of the Pass. The complex is walking distance to several restaurants. The complex also offers great amenities which include indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub, sauna, fitness room and a lighted barbeque area. Come and enjoy the wide beach and surf.
