    What an amazing home! The view of the beach is gorgeous, the home is very cutely decorated, and the kitchen was well stocked with any appliance/utensil needed. It was immaculately clean and well taken care of. An added bonus was plenty of beach towels and beach chairs. I would definately recommend to any staying in the area.

    This is a beautiful house in a great location. It exceeded our expectations and is one of cleanest places we have stayed in. This felt like home for the week. The owners were very responsive and exceeded our expectations in every way.

From pot's and pan's, silverware, dishes, storage containers, spices and cooking utensils. Built in baby gates, high chair and playpen. Beach chairs & toys. Shower stations. And lastly The Oceanfront Views!!!!!

    Memories made. Good food cooked and enjoyed. Nice tan gained. Deep rest attained.We couldn't recommend Once Upon a Tide more. Pans, dishes, silverware newer and nicer than my own. I've never been in a more generous home rental. Pantry items, linens, towels, beach towels, paper towels, beach toys and chairs, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in all the showers and more. We were so impressed. Also, I have a residential cleaning business and this place passed the test of my standards. Great job on your home rental! We hope to return next summer!

    My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at your property. From the location just steps away from the beach, to the views from the balconies and the kitchen that is better equipped than my own home- we had a wonderful week away from the world. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer.

    This was a great place to stay. Very close to the beach, fully stocked with most items we need during our stay. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway!

    We have been coming to the property for years. Now with the new owners/hosts the property has been beautifully remodeled and we couldn't ask for a more perfect vacation location! We have already re-booked for next year! Absolutely wonderful!
