About this property

Beachfront balcony w/ Gulf views - resort pools

Welcome to your beachfront escape at Tidewater - a Gulf-front condo on the 3rd floor of a full-service resort in Panama City Beach.

- Sleeps 6 | 1 bedroom | 4 beds | 2 baths
- Gulf-front balcony with direct ocean views
- Resort pools (beachfront and indoor heated), hot tubs, sauna, steam room and fitness center
- Fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher and coffee maker
- Direct beach access - steps to sugar-white sand
- Free gated parking and self check-in via keypad


The Gulf is right there - glittering just beyond your 3rd-floor balcony, close enough that you can hear the waves from the living room and spot the shimmer of sunlit water the moment you walk through the door. This beachfront condo at Tidewater puts six guests directly on Panama City Beach, with resort facilities, sugar-white sand, and the energy of Pier Park all within easy reach.
 
Living space
The open living area is flooded with natural light and oriented toward the water, making it easy to settle in and slow down. A flat-screen TV and a comfortable sleeper sofa give the main space flexibility - whether you're winding down after a beach day or keeping the kids entertained on a rainy afternoon. Self check-in via keypad means no waiting around at the front desk.
 
Sleeping arrangements
The condo sleeps up to 6 guests across a thoughtful mix of configurations. The primary suite offers a king bed and a private en suite bathroom - a quiet retreat at the end of the day. A bunk alcove handles extra guests or younger travelers with ease, and a sleeper sofa in the living area rounds out the layout. A second full bathroom ensures the whole group can move through mornings without bottlenecks.
 
Kitchen and dining
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook from scratch or throw together a quick meal between beach sessions. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker are all on hand, along with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and the basics. Pull up a stool at the bar for a casual breakfast, or plate up dinner with a Gulf view as the backdrop.
 
Resort amenities
Tidewater's resort facilities are a genuine highlight. Two beachfront pools, an indoor heated pool, hot tubs, a sauna, and a steam room cover every relaxation preference. A Gulf-front fitness center, game room, and on-site movie theater add options for when the beach isn't calling. The poolside tiki bar and on-site restaurant mean food and drinks are never far away - no car required.
 
Outdoor and beach access
Direct beach access puts you steps from the sand - no shuttle, no hike. The BBQ grill is available for evenings when you'd rather stay in. Free parking in a gated garage and 24/7 on-site security take care of the practicalities, so you can focus on the rest.
 
Location
Panama City Beach's signature white sand and warm Gulf water are right outside, and Pier Park - with its mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment - is just a short walk or drive away. The 3rd-floor position keeps elevator waits minimal and offers solid views without being too far up.

Great Place to stay

After seeing bad reviews with tidewater we were a little worried. There was nothing to worry about because the room was very nice and we had a great stay. We needed more towels and they were quick to send us more. The elevators aren’t really slow. There is 31 floors that they have to work so it takes time. If you don’t like the wait then take the stairs. My family had a great time and the condo was perfect for our party of 6.

My brother and I took my elderly disabled mother and adult special needs granddaughter there for a visit. The room was very accommodating for my mother in a transport chair. She enjoyed the step in shower and recliner. The swivel chairs on balcony were a challenge for her since they weren’t stable. The main complaint for us was the bunk beds and sofa bed. The sofa bed mattress was so bad one of us had to sleep on top of sofa instead. The other one of us had to sleep in the recliner. The top bunk was so close to the bottom bunk it made it very uncomfortable for both people on top and bottom. The mattresses (or bunky board) squeaked loud with every movement. The biggest issue with the bunk beds was the piece of wood going across the top of the ladder making it very difficult to get in and out of the bed. This is why we were not able to use the top bunk. A few simple adjustments to the top bunk and all mattress being replaced with new ones would have made a huge difference in us being comfortable with our visit there. We also did not have a blanket for the sofa (bed) and even though we requested one and was told one would be delivered, we never got it. We had to use our beach towels to cover with. Mattresses in a hotel room are one of the most important parts of the room!

I'll start by saying this room was everything pictured on site. The resort itself needs some elevator improvements. Here's some pros and cons to my travel.Cons: The host didn't send my room code in my boarding pass. I arrived at the resort a little after 6pm, checked in with the officer and then asked for my room code. He responded with, it should be listed from your host on your boarding pass. We both looked & couldn't find it anywhere. It took almost 2 hours to finally get someone to answer the phone. I left text messages & voicemails. Finally the sweet lady working the front desk called from her phone & a lady named Layken answered. She was able to give me the code to enter our room. To me, this issue should have resulted in more than I'm sorry but so far that's all I've gotten. The officer and I filed a complaint that night.Upon arrival, we didn't need a code for the parking gate b/c it was broken. During our stay several elevators were broken. Just so happens that also the only elevator from resort )without crossing the main hwy) was broken the night before we checked out & still broken the morning of. I walked around the parking garage from level 2 to ground so I could pull my car around to load it. Thankfully I wasn't walking up to level 5! The pool was ice cold on Thrs Oct 16, 2025 while it was 85 degrees outside. Extra fees were 50 to be refundable if needed & amenity fees that VRBO doesn't cover.PROS: The staff was very friendly. The room & view were great.

The view was beautiful. I chose this 3rd floor condo after reading other reviews regarding the wait time on the elevators.I’m so glad I did because wait times on the elevators was extremely long but since we were on the 3rd floor we could easily take the stairs. This place was a great getaway for us!
