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.

Family Vacay to OBA

We had a great week in Dana and Ed’s unit in the Tidewater! The unit itself was perfect for our family and had so many thoughtful touches that made our stay very comfortable and homey. The location was perfect, gorgeous views from the balcony, great pool area, very clean, quick and easy walk to the beach. This was our family’s first trip to Orange Beach and it may be our new favorite place! We will look to stay here again next time we visit! Thanks, Dana and Ed for hosting us!

Nice place to stay

The location of this condo was great. The view was also great. However, the bed is not comfortable, pillows are very flat (I recommend bringing your own), and the bedroom/bathroom is small. But the living room, kitchen, and dining areas are a nice size. Nice size balcony. The property manager does a great job of communicating with you if you have any questions.

First of all, it was our 50th wedding anniversary. A bad wreck on I65 caused about an hour delay. Decided to get an order to go and eat when we got to the room, but another delay cost us about 2 hours getting in the room. The door lock would not operate, had to get a locksmith come and change out the lock. After we got in the room things went great. Room was nice, view was great. Bed and couch were very comfy. Ice maker didn't work but we bought ice for our needs. Would definitely stay again

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.

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.

Just what we needed.

Our stay was perfect for our last mother/daughter trip before my grandbaby arrives. Location is great, condo was very clean, the owner texted back right away even though she was on a vacation of her own. We did only have once wash cloth in the condo but luckily I always over pack and brought a few from home. Other than that I couldn’t have enjoyed this place more than I did.

Nice condo, but NEEDS attention

My husband and I did enjoy our stay in this condo, it is a beautiful balcony view and great location. However, this unit requires attention. The unit itself needs some updates/regular maintenance and cleaning. The unit was not very clean, for instance, the bathroom shower curtain/liner had mold on it, and so did the toilet. EVERYTHING in the unit felt sticky. It seemed like the unit could use a good deep cleaning for guests to feel comfortable here. Many of the lightbulbs in the unit were also out and needed to be replaced, laundry room door would not close, etc. Just basic maintenance needed throughout the unit. I'm not one to write a bad review but felt that it was necessary due to the condition of the condo. Again, we enjoyed our stay but felt that some basic maintenance could be done to make this condo much more comfortable for future guests.

About the host

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!
