We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront condo. The views were breathtaking, and being just steps from the ocean was incredible. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—close to restaurants and shops but still peaceful. The host was responsive and made check-in a breeze. We can’t wait to come back!

We picked this property because the property had a pool and was close to the beach. We received no notice that the pool had been drained for repairs, and the management company offered no solutions to this problem. Also, the property was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. There were ketchup stains on the floor of the kitchen and sand all over the living room furniture. Not sure where the excessively high cleaning fee is going, but it didn’t result in a clean property. Overall, the stay was ok. Proximity to the water made up for uncleanliness and lack of working amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in Seacrest at Blue Tide. It was so close to Alys and Rosemary to enjoy those areas, but far enough away to not be bothered with the crowds.
Pros:
* Love the space this condo offers! Plenty of room for our group of 7 to spread out.
* Fantastic access to the beach!!! The balcony stairs lead right out to the stairs down to the beach.
* Wine fridge was so nice to have.
* Quiet! So quiet here and secluded from the big crowds.
* Only 1.3 miles to Charlie’s Donuts. ;)
Cons:
* Cleanliness. Whiskers on light switch plates in the bathroom, dirty soap dish, dirty bathroom counters, carpet stains, dust on fixtures and bathroom mirrors. The entire unit needs a deep and thorough cleaning. However we felt confident in clean sheets and towels and so it was a wonderful stay.
* Kitchen. This is not a cook’s kitchen. You get one dish towel and one hot pad. No dish rags, no oven mitts. We had to use beach towels to take things out of the oven. Not enough coffee mugs for everyone. Not even a spatula to flip pancakes! I had to use a large grill spatula for pancakes one morning.

I have never been to this location and it was a great experience. The unit has a lower and upper balcony (off the master bedroom). The unit was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. The check-in and check-out was simple. We would definitely come back. We liked the location outside of Rosemary Beach but close to town. The beach is immaculate with great chair/umbrella service and inaccessible by the general public.

Benchmark Management was great! They delivered more than expected. They kept us Informed before we left, when we arrived, checked on us again half way through our visit, and now after the fact. Impressive. The condo was perfect and was what we expected. The beach service - Other Mama’s Beach Service- was top of the line. They are so fun and personable and treat all like family. They sealed the deal on a fun trip. We will be back for sure.

We arrived at our rental just before 5pm which we booked through with a confirmation number and a code, called customer service to check in only to be told my name was not in the system and she hung up on me. Luckily I went to the office for help, met Alaina, she was very helpful and accommodating. She confirmed that my room has a guest already who checked in the day before, she called someone at benchmark, also was very helpful and friendly, found us another rental which was an upgrade and much cheaper. Overall it turned out to be a great spring break and would definitely do this again but would book through and never use again. Thanks Alaina you were a life saver. Olu.

Reviewer Comments:
This property is in the perfect location! We’ve stayed at Blue Tide units in years past, but this one does need a good run through. The floor with the bedrooms and master is leaning from the stairs over to the bathroom, bed room areas. This continues all the way up to the loft. The loft is very musty. Ceiling is coming apart and my kids ended up opting for the couch instead of staying up there. We had an issue with the dishwasher and it was fixed by day 3. The washing machine has permanent black mold spots. My son is allergic to mold, we tried scrubbing it out but it’s stuck in there. Overall the location is perfect, just some things that need to be looked at.

Roomy with lovely views. Condo a bit down at the heels. The issues raised below are still unfixed. Toaster needs replacing, door to the deck almost impossible to close the screen, loft ceiling cracked and looking like it might fall in, loft has no ac vent. Very stuffy. Fencing outside fallen down near ac. With some attention this place has lots of potential. Even so we had perfect weather and a great time. (Do not count on Vacazen credit for anything!)

Blue Tide 3B Property was amazing & BIG...! The best part was your own private beach access (Despite the number of stairs), the location, the view, updated furnishings, 3 FULL baths.Sliding door needs replacing, stair risers need to be up to code, and even though unit was surfaced cleaned.. it needs to be DEEP cleaned. Musty smell here & there. Over all - WE WOULD RETURN.

This is our second time staying in Blue Tide 3B. You cannot beat the views from this location! They are amazing! This is a nice sized condo with plenty of space to move around. I think it has been well loved so it's getting close needing some touch up paint. The kitchen has everything you need; we hosted Thanksgiving and had no issues. Lots of stairs going in and out and to the beach so be prepared to get your steps in. You can have your toes in the sand in about a minute so it really can't be beat. Can't wait to stay again!!

Our family rented this condo for a week at the end of September and were very pleased with the rental location and accessibility to the beach. A quick walk down the steps and you were on the sand. For the most part the unit was well maintained with the exception of the loft (which was where my daughter was sleeping) it was dirty with lots of dead bugs including cockroaches. The ceiling was open in many places I assume from past leaks and it smelled very moldy and musty. My daughter woke up every morning with new bug bites. I couldn't wait to get her out of there. I probably would not stay here again for that reason. If you're not using the loft it would be a great spot! It was a great family spot though so that would be hard to pass up. Maybe we'll try a different unit in the same building next time.

The vacation rental was good however there were some things in need of repair. The TV in the living room did not work (no signal) 90% of the time. No cable. The toaster did not work. The microwave above the stove did not work so another microwave has been put on the counter top taking up space. It is however very convenient to the beach. Especially during the Covid times. You can go right off your deck to get to the beach. No elevators to ride with other people. Our kids could just run up from the beach to eat or get things and we could watch them go in. We had a good experience and it was a nice place. Just needs a few things taken care of

Great condo. Wonderful location
Excellent location on beach and a small condo complex so not crowded. The condo was well furnished and clean. However it was warm in master bedroom and loft.
