Amazing view, great beach, but...
To start, I really did enjoy my time at Tidewater and even with this criticism, I would stay there again.
All of these rental vacation condos have a cleaning/resort fee attached, but if I'm paying an extra $300, I don't think it's appropriate to make guests clean before leaving. You are expected to wash all dishes and return them to the cupboards, as well as take out all trash or an additional cleaning fee will be charged. I agree with expecting us to wash them, otherwise people would leave every dish in condo dirty, but I think leaving them clean in the dishwasher would be fair. We had to leave at 4am to catch a flight, so putting away dishes at 3:30am seemed to be excessive. If we are paying a cleaning fee already, couldn't they take out the trash?
We were in unit 903. It could use some updates, but overall it was pleasant. If you have a bad back, this unit is not for you. The double bed is beyond soft and the pullout is as expected, poor.
The unit had a well equipped kitchen and we left a cooler so other guests could use it to go down to the beach.
The beach was amazing and the view, breathtaking.
