This 1,131-square-foot residence offers two bedrooms plus a separate bunk room, three full bathrooms, direct beach access, sweeping Gulf views, exceptional third-floor convenience, and established vacation-rental performance. Although the owners intentionally limited RealJoy bookings to six guests to reduce wear, the condo can accommodate up to eight--creating additional rental flexibility for its next owner.
WHY TIDEWATER 314?
✓ THE IDEAL THIRD FLOOR--Enjoy sweeping Gulf-front views while remaining close enough to feel connected to the beach below. Morning coffee comes with emerald water, colorful sunsets, and passing dolphins--without being dozens of floors away from the fun. ELEVATOR OPTIONAL--Unit 314 is only one level above the second-floor parking skybridge and can be reached quickly by elevator or stairs--an especially valuable advantage during busy vacation seasons.
EASY ARRIVALS--Move children, groceries, luggage, and beach gear safely from Tidewater's expansive covered parking garage across the enclosed skybridge without crossing busy Front Beach Road. One quick floor up, and vacation begins.
FLEXIBLE FAMILY-FRIENDLY LAYOUT--A king primary suite, queen guest suite, and twin-over-twin bunks comfortably accommodate six. The condo can accommodate up to eight guests, although RealJoy currently advertises six at the owners' request to reduce wear. The separate bunk room and three full bathrooms provide valuable space, privacy, and flexibility.
GULF-FRONT LIVING--Large windows fill the living area with natural light and Gulf views, while the spacious private balcony provides a front-row seat to emerald water, sugar-white sand, colorful sunsets and dolphins passing through the Gulf.
EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN--The owners personally inspect and deep-clean the condo several times each year, address maintenance proactively, and keep every mattress and pillow enclosed in protective covers. It is the kind of vacation home where owners and guests can arrive, unpack and relax, knowing the details have been handled with care.
THOUGHTFULLY UPDATED--Features include a fresh contemporary color palette, refinished cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, updated backsplash, wide kitchen with farmhouse sink, updated furnishings and hard-surface flooring throughout--NO CARPET. The water heater was replaced approximately two years ago.
PROVEN GUEST APPEAL--With nearly 70 guest reviews--overwhelmingly five-star--Tidewater 314 has an established history of exceptional vacation experiences. Guests repeatedly praise the Gulf views, cleanliness, convenient third-floor location, easy garage access, and family-friendly layout. Many guests return year after year. If the buyer continues with RealJoy, the existing reviews may remain with the rental listing; confirm arrangements with RealJoy.
ESTABLISHED RENTAL PERFORMANCE--Rental income after property-management fees was $32,627 in 2023, $25,545 in 2024, and $26,670 in 2025, before other ownership expenses. As of August 6, 2026, the condo had earned $33,500 GROSS for the year. The owners typically use the condo about four weeks annually, including winter stays, and limit advertised occupancy to six.
ROOM TO GROW--Although the condo can accommodate up to eight, the owners currently limit RealJoy rentals to six guests to reduce wear. RealJoy estimates that allowing eight guests could add approximately $5,000 a year in GROSS rental income. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.
