Tidewater by Book That Condo

Staying at Tidewater by Book That Condo was a fantastic experience. The unit (2014) offered more than enough space with two bedrooms, each featuring private bathrooms, plus a sofa sleeper and a bunk area—perfect for families or groups. There’s even a third bathroom, which made mornings much smoother. The balcony was spacious and ideal for relaxing with a coffee while enjoying the ocean view.
