Directly on the gulf with great views, the unit and property were super clean and well kept up. Location was great. Nice indoor and outdoor pool. They had a nice shared picnic area with grills and tables. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous view of the ocean, cozy and clean condo, kitchen was the most well stocked of all the beach places we have visited! We are not crowd people but went during spring break and it definitely was a more family friendly atmosphere. The property managers said that orange beach tries really hard to keep a good reputation and follows the 10pm noise ordinance, and we loved that. Would happily recommend this place!

The view from the balcony was great, the walk to the beach was easy, and the pool was never overcrowded. If we had more than 3 people (adults), it would’ve been pretty tight, but the space was perfect for a weekend girls trip! They had everything we needed in the kitchen, and we had no issues during our stay.

This was a great condo for me and my family (4 of us total- that eventually came down). It’s in a great location. It’s not one of the massive condo properties so that’s nice too. Owners were super to work with and we hope to return to this same place in the future.

Great location, hassle free stay

Bedroom is very small, like 10x10 and the bed takes up too much room. Bed itself was soft and sunk in a bit. Lock on door is tricky and there is no lock on the balcony door. Also there was no extra trash bags or toilet paper provided. The beach and location, pool etc were great. The gym is in the pool area and does not open until 8am

Great location! Easy check in and out. Condo was clean. Set up was ok, bedroom needs smaller furniture so doors work properly and a dark shade to block out the light outside on walkway. Also an extra trash bag would have been nice to have. No one wants to buy a box for just one

Great view and very convenient to everything!!! Perfect amount of space for 5 girls!!

The condo had great views of the gulf and was in a perfect location! We were able to get around very easily whether it was going out to eat, getting groceries, or going out at night!! We had no problems with the condo- the instructions were clearly stated so that we knew how to get in, work the WiFi, etc! We did have to buy necessities such as trash bags and toilet paper as that was not provided in the condo! But other than that everything was great!

"The best surprise is no surprise"

We've stayed at this property before and like the location and the size of the unit for a couple with modest needs. Tidewater is smaller than most of the big multistory units on the beach, around 13-14 floors if I recall. But nicely maintained and near the Perdido Pass area of Orange Beach. We didn't have any interaction with the Cranston's this trip, but they are good people who take care of their properties. And the weather was kind to us this trip, which isn't always a guarantee in March. Looking forward to coming back soon! (But the fish weren't biting, my surf casting attempts rolled snake eyes this year.)

Tidewater property, unit 507

Property was clean. Convenient location. Good access to pools and beach. Enjoyed that there was a couple of bunk beds in addition to bedroom. That was nice for the one child we had traveling with us! We had trouble getting the shower to work and never managed to make that happen. Also had some trouble figuring out TV remotes. There was not a space available to store groceries. No paper towels, garbage bags or dish detergent was available.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Cranston

Host profile image
I started coming to Gulf Shores back in the early 1980's as a high school student with my family. I later introduced my wife, Dawn, to the area and she fell in love with it as well. We have two beautiful daughters, Isabella and Gabrielle. Since that time we have owned a number of condominiums in the area over the years. We currently reside locally in Craft Farms Golf community.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of Tidewater. It is just west of Perdido Pass, directly on the beach. It is beautiful sitting on the balcony and watching the boats go in and out of the Pass. The complex is walking distance to several restaurants. The complex also offers great amenities which include indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub, sauna, fitness room and a lighted barbeque area. Come and enjoy the wide beach and surf.

What makes this property unique

The white sand beaches, the Gulf of Mexico and incredible climate! Need we say more?
