Tucked along the scenic Shallotte River, The Tides of Shallotte is where luxury meets laid-back coastal living. Just minutes from the beach but away from the bustle of busier cities, The Tides offers the perfect blend of comfort, community, and coastal charm — a true hidden gem in Brunswick County. For many residents, The Tides represents more than just a home — it’s a lifestyle.
"We fell in love with the beauty of Coastal North Carolina and wanted to find a place near the beach but outside of the hustle bustle of a big city,” said residents Rhonda and Dan. “The Tides has the perfect laid-back feel and beautiful views that we were looking for.”
Resort-Style Living Every Day
From the moment you enter, The Tides feels like a resort getaway. Residents enjoy a saltwater pool and sundeck, a state-of-the-art fitness center, golf and putting green, pickleball courts, and a beautifully designed clubhouse — complete with a chef’s kitchen, coffee bar, and community lounges.
“The amenities are fantastic,” said Dan. “We love the gym, the pool, the golf putting green, and the beautiful clubhouse. It’s like living in a luxury resort.”
Effortless Move-In, Modern Design
Every apartment home at The Tides was built with convenience and modern living in mind. Spacious open floor plans, elevator access, and designer finishes make every day comfortable and functional. The community also offers furnished apartment homes with utilities included through its 2nd Home Program — ideal for short-term stays or residents in between homes.
“The move-in process was extremely easy,” said Rhonda. “We love having elevators for the bigger items. The layout of each building is also extremely open and accessible, making move-in day a breeze.” “We love the open floor plan of the apartments,” Dan added. “It’s bright, comfortable, and feels like home right away.”
Location, Location, Location
One of The Tides’ biggest draws is its unbeatable location — minutes from Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Sunset Beach, with everyday conveniences just around the corner.
"We can be at three different beaches with just a 15-minute drive,” said Dan. “We’re within 15 minutes of multiple golf courses and great restaurants — some even within walking distance. And all of our shopping needs are right nearby. We love that!” The community’s setting along the Shallotte River also brings a daily dose of natural beauty. “Our favorite spot is our back patio,” said Rhonda. “It overlooks the river and marshlands — we can spot herons, egrets, spoonbills, even hummingbirds. We love to sit out and enjoy the sunset from the comfort of our home.”
A Community That Feels Like Family
Residents describe The Tides as open, friendly, and full of that unmistakable Southern hospitality. “The community is very open, diverse, and friendly,” said Rhonda. “The Southern hospitality and charm really is a ‘thing!’” “We love meeting fellow residents as we go about our day — in the gym, grabbing coffee in the clubhouse, or just picking up the mail,” added Dan. “Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We love it here.” The staff at The Tides play a big part in that sense of connection. “After we moved in, we discovered that the staff is very open to suggestions and resident needs,” said Rhonda. “They’re more like personal concierges than a normal apartment staff.”
