Tidewatch Vacations

“Watch has a 4 PM check-in and 10 AM checkout time which is unreasonable and less renter friendly than other companies or individuals who rent here in Bluff villas. You’ll get a pre-offer for a $50 charge if you wanna go in early or stay late, I guess. Seems too much like a money grab and it’s only 50 bucks. Not sure why they do this but it’s a bad look next time we will rent from a different company or individual.”

“Great area. Walkable to town. Nice house, the living area and kitchen are very small. Dining area only fits 2 people. I would say great place if you aren’t planning to spend a lot of time at the house. Make sure to bring extra TP”

“The views at this place were amazing, very easy beach access. I did not know before booking that it was a gated community & would be an extra $100 for a pass. We also had to buy several things on our 4 day trip as we were left with 2 toilet paper rolls for 6 people for the stay. Each guest was also only allowed one towel with no extras. The same for dish soup, laundry soup, paper towels. Just be aware before booking as most places I’ve been have provided more basics.”

“Enjoy our stay very much!! House needs some repairs but over all we loved it!!”

“No I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone full of roaches 🪳 is crazy and. Couldn’t get in the property and to be told that I couldn’t get a refund is crazy work never again”

“We loved the house and location of this property! The sun room overlooking the property was by far our favorite part of the house. We would go back simply to enjoy the house again. However, the negative of this place was how stingy they were. We were given one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, 5 bathroom towels for 6 people, 3 trash bags, and no beach towels at all. Also, they would only allow an early check in for an additional $50. All these things made the property feel less than what we paid for it. Lastly, upon check in we were told we couldn’t turn the air down lower than 72 degrees which wasn’t the end of the world but is something to consider when you are booking for the month of July. The bedrooms definitely got warmer than we would have preferred. Overall, we loved the house but were let down by some of these smaller things that make a stay at an Airbnb more comfortable.”

“I had several issues with reservation - broken doors, ceiling fans not working, no plumbing for a few hours, no working bathtub to bathe my kids. The sliding door didn’t have a handle so it was inoperable and was advised to lock door with a piece of wood. No refund was provided by the host due to me not taking pictures for evidence. Would never recommend this host to anyone!”

“This was a cute, clean house at the marina. Great for 4 people. BUT it was hot upstairs and you could not turn the thermostat down below 72 degrees - there was a note that the unit would freeze up. Plus the ceiling fan in the back bedroom popped all night and it was hard to sleep with the noise, but if you turned it off it got too hot to sleep. Didn’t learn about air until after we rented. That should be included in listing.”

“Great view of the ocean and very clean. But Tidewatch charges extra for parking pass and early checkin. When I arrived at the condo the door was ajar and workman were working outside and plugged into the units electricity. When I called the office, Rosa said she didn't know anything about this but would look into and call me back. She never did. I took care of it myself. The amenities are barebones, exactly 2 rolls of toilet paper, no linens for the sofa bed, no pillow cases for the spare pillows, not even salt and pepper. Over more than a decade with AirBnB and more than 20 rentals, this was the worst. My advice, only rent if you are desperate!”

“First and foremost, the AC did not work. Secondly, the WiFi did not work either. The "beach" is on an oyster bed and is extremely muddy. NOT like a typical sandy beach. There was no clear driveway or path to the beach. Inside was made to be nice BUT Outside of the house and surrounding area needs much updating and maintaining. Was a decent house but not for what transpired and for the price. Host unwilling to work with us on any sort of reimbursement. Even with no AC or WiFi among the other issues. EXTREMELY disappointed.”
