There’s so much to love about Tidewater 1711. For starters, the 2-bedroom, 3-bath condo, which sleeps 8 people, is located right on the beach. You can stroll back and forth throughout the day whenever you please: Kayak or canoe in the morning, swim and paddleboard in the afternoon, search for seashells and shark’s teeth in early evening. What’s more, the condo’s private balcony looks out over the Gulf of Mexico. Kick back in a chair, sip a frosty drink, and watch dolphins frolic in the surf as seabirds swoop and soar across the sky. You’ll have a front-row seat to the spectacular sunsets over the gulf—truly a sight you’ll long remember.
The sliding glass doors that connect the living area to the balcony also enable you to admire the view while relaxing indoors. When you’re not gazing outside, you can stretch out on the sofa and watch TV, curl up in the armchair to surf the web (Tidewater 1711 has free WiFi), or sprawl out on the floor to play Candyland with the kids.
Tidewater 1711’s open layout means you can take in the beachfront vista while cooking and eating too. Though numerous restaurants are within walking distance, sometimes only a home-cooked meal will do. On those occasions you’ll appreciate the condo’s fully equipped kitchen: From refrigerator/freezer to blender, coffeemaker to dishwasher, you’ll find everything you need right here. In addition to the dining table, which seats 4, there’s a breakfast bar that can accommodate 3 more.
The master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed; the 2nd bedroom has a nearly as spacious queen. Both bedrooms have a flat-screen TV and their own bathroom. There’s a 3rd bathroom as well, located by a sleeping nook outfitted with twin bunk beds. The kids will absolutely love these cozy quarters; they’ll feel as if they’re at summer camp. Any additional guests can sleep on the living area sofa, which converts to a bed for 2.
When you arrive at Tidewater 1711, you’ll find the beds impeccably made up, plenty of clean towels for all 3 bathrooms, and extra bedding ready and waiting—no need to bring linens from home. In fact, you can pack lighter than usual, as the unit has its own washer and dryer.
The benefits of staying at Tidewater 1711 extend beyond the condo unit itself. The Tidewater Beach Resort has both outdoor and indoor pools, so you can swim even when the weather is less than perfect. Also indoors is a 4,300-square-foot fitness center, complete with cardio equipment, a spa, a sauna, and a steam room. There’s a game room on the premises too, packed with arcades and an air-hockey table.
Between the beach and the resort itself, there’s more than enough to keep everyone entertained. Should you want to venture farther afield, however, you’ll find plenty to see and do within walking distance. In less than 15 minutes you can walk to Russell-Fields Pier to fish or simply admire the view; it’s the longest pier over the gulf, stretching more than 1,500 feet. In 20 minutes you can stroll to Pier Park, where you’ll find laser tag, a maze, and other attractions in addition to shops and restaurants. Or you can hop in your car and drive to Gulf World Marine Park, Hombre Golf Club, WonderWorks, ZooWorld, Shipwreck Island Waterpark, and numerous other attractions in just minutes.
Like many other Panama City Beach condos, during the high season Tidewater 1711 is available only by the week, with a Saturday arrival. But as you can see, a week is hardly enough time to experience everything the area has to offer. So what are you waiting for? Book your stay today, and get ready for fun in the sun.
