It was just as pictured. They had just finished some remodeling updates on the outside. It was lovely. Could walk right out the back patio and there was the stairs to the beach. Condo is gorgeous on the inside as well.

We had a lovely time during out stay in 6A. The beach there is absolutely amazing and has the best sunsets! The unit has easy access to the beach and was comfortable. It has some wear from different guests but that is to be expected. It was also very clean! My young kids loved the bunk beds and cubbies built in. There are also adequate towels and blankets, necessities, etc. An area of improvement would be the outdoor area. The plastic chairs and table are on their last legs and not comfortable. It would be helpful to know that there is a beach service (and kayaks & paddleboards) offered during the busy season called 'Other Mamas'. They were great! If you bring your own kayak or rent elsewhere, you have to lug it up and down 50 steps.
Overall, we had a very nice stay here! Benchmark was great at communication and sent us all we needed ahead of time.

We absolutely love Bluetide! It is a hidden gem amongst the other rentals on 30A. I will say we were highly disappointed in the cleanliness of the 6A unit overall. The place needed a deep cleaning. There was food crusted to the table, the bathroom was dirty, and the entire floor of the unit was filthy. The unit was nicely decorated and the beach access was perfect. Some of the furniture outside was broken so we were unable to sit out there as a family and enjoy the view. One other thing is that most of the units at Bluetide have beach service, but 6A did not. On top of our already expensive stay, this was an extra $200 for us for the week. 6A should definitely invest in the beach service for their guests. I will return to Bluetide, but I won’t stay at 6A again without the beach service included.

Kara,

I was pleasantly surprised with our recent stay at Blue Tide 6A. As soon as we opened up the front door you could smell cleanliness. It was freshly cleaned and the towels were neatly folded in the bathroom. I was amazed at how clean it was. Honestly we've stayed along 30A and never found one this clean. Please give the cleaning crew a bonus! I was very happy. No clogged drains, there was a broom and dust pan and even a small hand vacuum under the sink for sand. The decor was outstanding. Simple but very tasteful. I hope others take good care of this unit because I want to stay here again and love the private beach! The beach service was out standing! So kind and reasonable. The only complaint I would have is , there is no separate dryer for clothes. It's all in one. So it takes FOREVER to do a load.
That is the only piff I have. Of course the cook ware could be better, but in any condo it's all to be expected when you have people that don't take care of things. I get it. The staff we dealt with from benchmark was so nice to deal with as well. I want to use them in the future as well. The pool was in good shape and the over all property. I don't have anything bad to say. Everyone we've told it's been nothing but good things. We tell everyone what a good experience we had staying here and would recommend it again for sure . Thank you so much

We absolutely loved Blue Tide 6a. It was a great size for our family and the decor was beautifully beach chic. We loved being in the ground floor where we could enjoy the amazing views of the water but at the same time have a little yard to play in and sit in for those that do not love the sand. The areas near our condo had a crowded beach but the beach at Blue Tide felt private and not crowded at all. Earlier reviews said the WiFi was bad but we had no issues with the WiFi. There was plenty of hot water for our whole family to shower which was extremely nice. Spring Break was the busiest that I have seen 30a but our condo building did not feel crowded at all. It was very quiet and relaxing. My only complaint was the washer/dryer combo. It took hours upon hours to do one load of laundry and it never dried well but we were there for the views and the sun. We loved the condo and our spring break stay!

We loved the very recently remodeled unit including all new appliances. Great location on 30A right next to Alys Beach. Unit is ground floor with beautiful view of the gulf. Frankie, who rents the beach chairs was a delightful chap. Cons: WiFi went out numerous times. Be aware that there are 50 steps down to the beach which I think is typical on 30A.
We can’t wait to go back!

Great place to stay for two. Large, open kitchen. The only complaint we have is that the smart TV didn't work. We lost the internet, but the manager was gracious enough to come repair it on a Saturday, but we still couldn't get Netflix to work. It rained the entire time we were there, thus the need for entertainment.

Hello Margaret!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and particularly liked the kitchen. Rainy days are never ideal, but they're far better with a view! I apologize for the initial TV issues, and am glad that we got it back up and going. We certainly hope to have you again so you can experience Blue Tide 6A during a sunnier week!
See you soon,

Great location, newly renovated, Clean, well equipped kitchen, cable tv service interruption for 1 day was a disappointment. Bunk beds in the living room an unusual touch but would be good for a family with kids.Great ocean view from an older beachfront Condo. We enjoyed our stay!
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for your feedback, Joe! We certainly agree that this newly renovated unit is well equipped, though it surely was not ideal for the day of service interruption. Luckily, it went right back up! Bunk beds are always a plus for families wanting a gulf front experience as well. We definitely hope to see you again for another great experience!

There was full kitchen, bunkers and bathroom, all nice.
We brought extra toilet paper because they leave only one and we ran out by next to last day. They do make it clear that you have to buy or bring your own in case you run out.
We had a little bit of wifi troubles but not bad. We were on our honeymoon and we had beautiful memories.
We are from East Tennessee, not Seattle Washington as it says.
