About this property

Luxurious Beach Sanctuary 1br/1ba in Tidewater--sleeps 6! New King Bed in BR!

Newer condo on market and updated main bedroom with new king mattress in 2025. Updated draperies in living room with blackout lining, and new sofa in the living room (sleeper).2024.

Chairs and seating designed for comfort -- to swivel and sit. Enjoy the condo or the beach and our many amenities in Tidewater.

I fell in love with the Tidewater building while showing condominiums there to a perspective buyer. This building is perfectly positioned across from Zeke's marina and St. Thomas by the Sea. I could walk to church, or in the afternoons, I could go to the marina and meet friends for lunch or dinner at Wolf Bay Lodge, or my husband could go deep sea fishing as many charters and dolphin tours leave from the marina. All that, and I never needed to get in a car! This is rare for gulf front properties in Orange Beach.

In Tidewater, I loved the 1bedrooms the best. They have real twin sized bunk beds built in the hallways, and very nicely sized living areas and balconies -- which in my opinion is the most important thing.

Tidewater 704 has state-of-the-art newer kitchen, modern updated bathroom, and a brand new sleeper sofa (as of November 2024). New furnishings abound in Dana's Sanctuary by the Sea. It's important that if a condo sleeps a certain number that that number of people can gather and talk and dine, etc. We have great seating in the living room, and I was adamant that we have a rocker recliner -- I like to nap in one. So, while it is not pictured, a brand new white leather rocker recliner is on order and soon to be delivered. We have a separate swivel chair which is incredibly comfortable, and a great vantage point to join in to conversation or zone out to the beach. The sofa had to be comfortable as well and seat 3 or allow a nice nap by day. It is new and has a comfortable top of the line sleeper.

The balcony? It has to be the place where I have my coffee and early morning quiet time. We have all new furniture on this balcony. The high-end luxe resin seating which has a lifetime warranty and does not rust. Bonus: It's also incredibly comfortable! 4 counter height chairs and one sling chaise chair--very comfy for outdoor napping-- adorn the this large balcony. 5-6 people can enjoy a great conversation and dolphin watch at the same time.

Tidewater is in a great section of Orange Beach. Fantastic dune and water and beach views abound from the main living spaces in this condo. This unit is Heaven on the 7th floor! Tidewater 704 is decorated to be a comfortable space for families or a couple or 4 people traveling. With so many big spaces, we wanted to create an affordable sanctuary that is like our second home, which we could share with others.

My family had a great time. Room was clean, comfy, and well stocked. We would definitely book again. My only “complaint” would be lack of space to store your personal belongings. We traveled as a family of 4 and stayed for a week, which made it more challenging due to the amount of items we brought. My husband and I were fine with what was in the bedroom, the kids had little space for their items. We utilized the dinning and coffee table for their clothes. Honestly, we didn’t need them for anything other than that anyways . It’s manageable and not a deal breaker by any means.

This place is a gem. We truly enjoyed the stay. Everything we needed was at this condo and all restaurants are close and even some within walking distance. We will definitely be back to stay with Dana. She was amazing with communication. We had no issues but I feel if we did she would handle it quickly. Until next time!

Amazing View and Balcony

Condo has a great balcony and amazing ocean views. We spent a lot of time sitting in the comfy chairs taking in the view. Living room is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. Bedroom is a little tight but has what you need. The location is convenient to lots of restaurants and the bike trails at Gulf State Park. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Hammele

Host profile image
I am a realtor at the beach. I own and show many properties, but fell in love with this unit and this building because it is simple and yet has all the amenities a family needs and is in perfect location. I can walk to mass to St. Thomas by the Sea, walk to Zekes to meet my friends, or walk down to the beach and just be...This unit is incredibly comfortable.

Why they chose this property

I loved that a one bedroom was perfect for just my husband and me to get away, or for a family looking for a great alternative that wasn't too pricey. This layout is so thoughtful, and has all the amenities that a family will need to just come, check in and park it on the beach or on the balcony. This stretch is beach is long and wide, and not overcrowded. I love that too. Tidewater is a lower density buildings than so many going up these days, the simplicity of it, and the ability to offer all the amenities of higher end buildings at an affordable price appealed to me.

What makes this property unique

Our condo has a King Bed in the master bedroom, most 1br's at Tidewater do not, and we also have a true queen sleeper sofa, which is very comfortable, too!
