Gulf Front, Sleeps 6 - Unbeatable Location!

If you’re looking for a Gulf-front property in Seacrest Beach for your next family getaway, look no further than Blue Tide #8A. Wake up to gorgeous views, lounge by the pool, and while away the hours doing absolutely nothing or everything imaginable, it’s totally your choice!

Blue Tide #8A is a beautiful condo with one bedroom and one bath accommodating up to six.

You’ll find everything needed in the fully appointed kitchen to prepare snacks for the beach or full meals for the whole family. Retire in the master bedroom with a king-sized bed while the kids settle into the built-in bunk nook with twin over twin bunks.

We had a great time. It was relaxing and a beautiful place to stay. We loved the location and ease to get to the beach. We will miss eating breakfast on the back porch while overlooking the beach.

We loved the condo mostly because of the convenience to the beach and the umbrella/chsir service that was included!

Blue Tide 8A was the perfect place for our Florida Beach getaway. Clean comfortable but best of all close to the Beach!! The beach chairs and umbrella set up was an added bonus! The beach was not crowded at all. Proximity to Panama City and Destin makes this location ideal!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was beautifully decorated, recently renovated, and had a beautiful beach view. Property is on the first floor, and it made for easier transport of our supplies down to the beach. Parking spots are clearly labeled with the condo numbers, so you don’t have to fight with neighboring condos for parking. There are a couple of flights of stairs down to the beach, but they weren’t an issue for us at all. We have stayed at several different condos along 30A over the years, but overall this one is our favorite by far! Highly recommend, and we hope to rebook for next summer! :-)

We had a blast at Blue Tide. Even with a double red day, with the proximity to the Chill and Rosemary beach we were able to use bikes and go everywhere, avoiding the crazy traffic. The chair service is superb, and Frankie is a gem. The home is beautifully decorated. Maintenance came quickly to repair an issue. My only complaint is that the text that we could check in early came on Monday, when we had already been in the condo since Saturday, and we had spent the afternoon trying to keep busy until check in, when had we known to check emails- we would have seen the code to get in early.

Location was great but the back door was broken and covered with Blue Tape, so the great view of the ocean was blocked unless you had the door open. I contacted guest services immediately after arrival and was told they were checking into it, but never heard anything back. The rest of the condo was great, but not happy that the view we paid for was obstructed.

This condo was on the beach which was exactly what we wanted! The guest service was communicative leading up to the stay and responsive. There was one hiccup with communication, I did arrange a mid-week cleaning that never happened and there was no communication about why. The place was overall clean but the shower had extensive mold due to very poor ventilation and had missing tiles and moisture was just sitting in these areas. The bathroom fan barely worked and that would be an overall very inexpensive fix that could make a big impact. The entire unit smells of mold and has a musty smell due to poor ventilation or maybe the ducts need to be serviced. My husband is sensitive to mold and within 24 hours was suffering with severe sinus issues and allergy symptoms. We tried to limit our time in the unit, except to sleep. The checkout directions say to undress the bed, which we did, and I was appalled at the yellow stains all over the mattress bc there was no mattress cover. Made me feel icky after having slept on it for a week. So great location, but fair condition and cleanliness. I would not rebook this condo in the future.

The location was great and the condo was fine, however, when we checked in, we immediately noticed that one of the sliding glass doors window was shattered and covered in blue tape. This, as you can imagine, was a hindrance to the waterfront view that we were hoping for. On Monday (we checked in on Sunday), during business hours, I called and left a message with no reply. I then texted with no reply. It wasn't until I had to call again for our hot water not working did we receive any kind of response. We were then told that the glass was on order and would not be replaced while we were there. This was unfortunate as there was a tornado warning while we were there and we left as we did not feel safe with an exterior door that was not intact. I asked if there could be a concession, to which I again, received no reply. While I understand that things happen and sometimes cannot be avoided, the communication was poor and customer service was severely lacking.

The property is in an awesome quiet location with a private beach. The umbrella and chairs each morning on the beach is very convenient. The place could use better bathroom lighting and there’s a few broken tiles in the bathroom; however, very minor issues. Would highly recommend.

We planned our family spring break and brought along our 83yo grandpa for his last hoorah (he can barely walk). I booked a ground floor beach front condo for him to easily sit outside while his grandkids played near him. This trip was destroyed when we arrived to a construction zone. The beautiful beach view gone, deck torn up and construction workers all over. He couldn’t even open the curtains. Just awful. We had zero heads up that this was going on. I was in tears for my dad - sad that his last trip of life turned out like this. The calendar for this condo should have been blocked during construction. But hey, at least the owner and management company made a few bucks. Greed - people don’t care anymore. The courteous thing to do would have been to let us know so we could have booked elsewhere.

Overall, we do recommend it, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Pros and Cons below. *Pros*: Tremendous location, reserved umbrella/chairs on beach, parking space outside front door, easy check in/out process, big kitchen, solid bunk beds. *Cons* 1) Cheap appliances - fridge / freezer did not cool sufficiently. We had to dispose of food and spent much more $ eating out than we had planned. We asked for it to be addressed. Day 1, a technician came, but the door was dead-bolted so they could not access. We asked for them to return and they never did. 2) Thin ceilings - condo above allows 12 people, which can sound like a herd of elephants above you through no fault of their own. We didn't sleep well until they decided to settle down. 3) Picture misleading. There are 52 stairs to the beach. OK if you're in physical condition to handle it. Would be very tough for some. 4) Building in general is a bit weathered and needs some TLC.

Property was in a great location and was literally right on the beach. One negative was the smell, it's an older unit and smelled like old cigarette smoke.

Awesome view! If you’ve traveled to 30A before- you know that from Seacrest all the way to Blue Mountain Beach can get super steep. Thus place got bad reviews for the steepness. For those wanting flat/no stairs to the beach- try Inlet, West end PCB, or Grayton.. We have bigger kids, so the stairs to the beach didn’t bother us at all. That view is totally worth it. Beach chair guy was awesome! (Other Mama’s orange chair company). Furniture needs to be updated in den, and there seemed to be a smell. I wished I’d had a sheet to throw over the couch so that it felt clean and a candle to burn would be smart. Most families would think nothing of it ;). We stayed on the beach whole time, so it was really fine. The beds were cozy. Parking is tight. Construction is completely done upstairs, but the ceiling is thin. It sounded like elephants were up there. Keurig is in a bottom cabinet. I was sad to find it my last day. This place got some bad reviews, but the management company sent messages constantly to make sure we were good and didn’t have questions. This was a very last minute rental. Everything is booked solid down here, so if you want to go to the beach- Just book it. It’s not perfect, but we loved that we found this-probably due to a cancellation- and snatched it up.

Really disappointed weekend. We chose this location for a quick getaway & problems began as soon as we arrived. Small trailer parked over the line next to our assigned parking space. We learned very early the next morning that the trailer was there bc the condo directly above our bedroom was being renovated. Construction started at 8am on New Years Day... The property manager was excellent & did what they could but our 3 day weekend was shot after the loud construction and following problems. The place itself needed some updates. That awesome pic of stairs going down to the beach... well those stairs lead down a literal cliff. Easily 50 foot drop from the back of the condo to the beach. TV didn't work. Internet dropped in & out a few times the first night. We just left the next afternoon & drove home.
