Stayed Jun 8, 2026My family's stay here was Amazing hosts. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect relaxing beach front vacation. The home and view were beautiful. Very clean and we'll kept. Had a small issue with the door code checking, only costing maybe 5 minutes getting in since the host were very attentive and responsive, and they graciously offered us an extra hour at the end of our stay. My family all loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. I dont think we could have picked a better home.

Stayed May 30, 2026This is a lovely beach house with very clean and nice accommodations. The host furnishes lots of very nice amenities including a well stocked kitchen, lots of towels and nice beach equipment. The beach is very accessible and very nice. Not crowded at all on the private beach. The host was easy to contact and responded very quickly.

Stayed May 26, 2026I have been renting beach houses on the NC coast for 25 years, and this home was by far the best experience. The home was beautifully decorated and included thoughtful amenities that made our time there enjoyable. From the well-stocked kitchen with good cookware, to the full pantry of spices, baggies, trash bags, to the volumes of bath towels, beach towels, and great supply of beach gear, it is evident that the hosts think of everything. While we didn't need it, they also included a highchair and pack-n-play, which I'll remember if bringing grandchildren. The home has three levels with a beach front deck at each level. Driving up to the house looks deceiving as it is a town house but inside was ample space for six adults without feeling over cramped. A wonderful four days! Thank you.

Stayed May 8, 2026OH. MY. GOODNESS! Where to begin!? We enjoyed our stay at “Once Upon a Tide” SO MUCH! The view is just wonderful on both the ocean side and the street side, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets! One of our favorite things is that there are so many decks! A perfectly delightful deck off the kitchen, street-side - with a table and chairs for relaxing and snacking, and then 3 decks ocean-side! You can always find shade or sun, whichever you prefer! The decor is perfection! - “Beachy” but not over the top or tacky! It’s very warm and inviting. The kitchen area is so open and clean! Everything has a place, and everything is in its place - easy to find, use, clean, and put away! Lots of hooks for towels and things, and motion detector night lights in strategic places! Speaking of night lights, the back steps are well lit at night! The owners, who are very easy to work with and were super easy to reach, thought of everything! We truly couldn’t have asked for more! I highly recommend a stay at “Once Upon a Tide”…and hope to return!

Stayed Sep 11, 2025What 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.

Stayed Jul 27, 2025Memories 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!

Stayed Jul 19, 2025My 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.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025We 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!
