Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house was perfect for our family! The kids LOVED the upstairs bedroom. It was perfectly located close to the beach. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Allison A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cherie D. Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection at the Beach at Once Upon A Tide I was reluctant to write this review because I know that once the word is out about this place it will be hard to find an open date. It was a solid 5 star experience. It's proximity to the beach was great, a little walk, but not bad at all. It was very quiet and peaceful, far away from the crowds of the city. However, it is close enough if you would like to run into town to eat or for other entertainment. If you want to stay at home though, there are three different deck areas and one under the house with a swing that is very nice. The house is spacious and comfortable with all the conveniences that you will need for your stay with a few extras. I am very selective and read all of the information thoroughly, but I can save you the time on this one, it is a sure win!! The only limitation I can see with the property is that you will need to be able to climb stairs to get to at least the first level, however once there, you really wouldn't have to leave. In order to access the beach you will need to be able to walk a bit through the sand, however, it is so quiet you can hear the waves from the house both day and night. Did I mention there is a fire pit, canvas hammocks, and two outside lounges & tables with chairs as well. This is a great space for families or couples alike. If you can find an open date, and are looking for a quiet place, close enough, but far enough away from the city, you have found it!! Get it booked right away!! ##### Cherie D.
