Our stay at this vacation rental was absolutely wonderful. The views, location, and all the thoughtful extras provided made this one of our favorite vacations. The home was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time away. We all agreed that this is a place we'd happily return to, and we will definitely choose this home again for a future vacation. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay and overall experience at Bluetide 8B! The hosts thought of everything that would make our stay the most enjoyable. We especially appreciated the USB/outlet boxes conveniently placed around the home, the shampoo/bodywash dispensers, washer and dryer with access to laundry supplies if needed, and access to the cooking oils and spices that we forgot to bring. The kitchen is fully stocked and we had absolutely everything we needed to cook a few meals. The location is perfect! We walked to Alys and Rosemary several times. The new and nearby Watersound complex has a Publix for shopping and several places to eat. If all that wasn’t enough, I believe our favorite amenity during our stay was having the beach service set up chairs and umbrella for us daily on the private beach. Truly a treasure that we hope to visit again soon!

Blue Tide 8B was absolutely breathtaking! Great amenities, comfy furniture with plenty of outdoor furniture to enjoy your coffee looking out at the ocean. Both balconies had nice high quality chairs and tables. Such easy access to the stairs leading down to the beach. Plus the two bikes made it perfect to cruise around town. We will definitely be back!
