OCEAN FRONT: ONCE UPON A TIDE: Seaside Vacation Homes, Inc Managed

Wonderful view from the living room large picture window.

Location was amazing.Perfect for our small pet as well. We parked our car and walked everywhere.We were told the property slept 8.We had 6 and welcomed an additional family member for one of the nights.Sadly, the bed option for the 7 and 8th guests are single cots that wouldn’t stay upright.That guest slept on the floor in the basement.Not ideal. I wouldn’t advertise this property sleeps 8.We arrived at the property following a funeral and didn’t see all of the paperwork we were apparently supposed to fill out.We were startled to pounding on the door for this paperwork.Kitchen desperately needs updating but is very well stocked.Unfortunately the dishwasher didn’t work and given the timing of our discovery, it made sense to just hand wash during our stay instead of spending a day of our rental while maintenance tried to fix. Property management was very attentive because we needed to make multiple calls. The front door code wouldn’t always work but come to find out the door is old and doesn’t always latch completely. The CO2 alarms chirped the first 24 hrs but maintenance again came and quickly replaced batteries. All things that just happen but unfortunate for us. To no fault of the owner, the homeless situation in seaside seems to have increased and one tried to break through the front gate late one evening approaching my daughter on the porch aggressively as she let our dog out to potty. We had to call the police to get this person to leave (appeared to be on drugs).

My husband & I, our daughter & teen granddaughter had a wonderful time at Once Upon a Tide. Three bedrooms with comfy beds & their own bath was perfect. The view from 3 big windows in the front room was beautiful! The TV wouldn't work when we arrived & one phone call was all that was needed to get us set up.The stairs coming up from the parking area to the main floor were pretty steep but luckily there was a gate on either side of the fenced front yard (which was perfect for our dog!) that led to the cars much easier. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Thanks for a GREAT time!!

The communications between us and SVH was great ! It’s a shame we didn’t have some sort of shampoo in the bathrooms. Also the dishwasher bottom rack had half its rollers missing which made it a pain to load. The weather was fantastic. Everything in the house was very clean and functional.

The house was located right on the beach and was very nice. Beautiful views and great walking on the beach. Dog friendly with fenced yard. Well stocked kitchen.,

We loved the view of the beach from the family room with the fire place! We had a great time playing air hockey in the evenings and great access to the boardwalk. Would stay here again for sure.

We had an amazing stay at the Once Upon a Tide! Our family loves the ocean and this was the perfect home away from home to celebrate our special needs daughter's birthday. Seaside Vacation Homes, Inc's communication was great from booking to check-out and the process was seamless. I felt very taken care of! They even had a signed birthday card waiting for our daughter when we arrived! The picture window is a living work of art and gave us a beautiful view of the stormy ocean! We had plenty of room for our family of 8 and our grand-dog, Goose. The kitchen had all the cookware, serving ware and gadgets we needed for our meals together at the table. We loved that all of us had a seat at the table when we ate and played games. The living room was cozy and comfortable and perfect for sitting down for a few games of Mario Kart Grand Prix (we brought our Switch, just in case we got stuck in the weather) and watching The Goonies movie The night before our adventure to Astoria, OR. The fireplace in the living room was fabulous when we needed to warm up after our adventures on the beach. We experienced small hail balls while walking he beach!The extras like dog waste bags, sand toys for the kids and outdoor activity options were great. We will be booking again!

Our family enjoyed our stay in Seaside! The house was perfect for our teenagers and grandpa also came along for the trip. There was plenty of room to spread out , 3 full bedrooms and bathrooms along with couches and cots if needed.the kitchen and dining room had everything we needed . The view was amazing, directly on the promenade overlooking the dunes and beach , we walked to the beach several times a day and we were far enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown seaside at this location , but all the action of seaside was just a 15 minute walk down the promenade.perfect!!

This home was perfect for my family and we could have fit a few extra bodies, had we needed to.The view from the living room is amazing. Likewise, the small deck facing the ocean and small gated yard were awesome amenities.We easily walked to the beach and had a great time while here.

Nice and relaxing

Great location, super clean and well maintained! Check-In process and communication with the property manager was thorough and easy. Will be back again!
