Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay at Once Upon a Tide in mid-December 2022. The sunrises and sunsets from the porch each day were a treat, and we enjoyed taking walks with our pups along the beach during the day. Since it was December, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves and only a handful of trucks/golf carts drove by during our entire stay. The property was so livable. It's set up for entertaining with an open-concept kitchen/living and huge dining table. You cannot beat the location, only steps away from the private beach access.One memory we'll always hold dear from our stay was watching our 14-year-old dog's eyes light up as he saw the beach. He ran faster than he's run in years. The beach truly brought his old bones back to life! We look forward to a future stay with family and friends! Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the house was perfect for proximity to other family members who were staying in the Dunes subdivision and for the wonderful view. The house is spacious and has a great layout with plenty of space. The only negative was that the dishwasher was not working, which was somewhat inconvenient.I would suggest that the owners consider adding additional kitchen items, such a few casserole baking dishes, serving platters/bowls, baking sheets, etc. I would definitely consider returning to this rental and would recommend it. My family enjoyed our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and easy access to the beach. Wifi availability should be a no brainer these days, especially in newer homes like this one. I had to adjust the front door catch in order to keep the door from flinging open due to the winds. Also tightened the bedroom door knob and fixed a cabinet door that was lopsided and would not close properly. These are easy fixes that should be maintained and easily seen so renters do not have to deal with or call the management company for repair. Last day we were there, the tv in master bedroom fell off the shelf and broke (no one was in the room - we heard it fall). It was not attached to the wall or on a stand. Luckily, neither one of my grand kids were under it when it fell. Huge liability for owner to not secure a tv that is up high on a shelf! We told the real estate company when we turned in the key that the tv fell like that and broke, and, hopefully does not affect our deposit. Living area could use more seating as the house is listed to sleep 11 people, but there is only one sofa and two director chairs in living room. We had a great stay, but taking care of these opportunities would make future renters have an even better stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is in a beautiful location. I love to see the ocean and hear the sounds of it, and you can certainly experience both there.My experience this week was very good at our location.Recommendations-1. A couple of more comfortable chairs for living room.2. Clean comforters and mattress protectors after each guest leaves.It was a little unnerving the way the cabin sways continually. I would stay there again, but I wouldn't buy it.

The best thing about this beach house is the location. It's essentially beach front with ocean views from almost every room. It is very nicely furnished and the decor is beautiful and comfortable. There is great outdoor furniture on the wrap around patio where you can enjoy the ocean views outside. The kitchen is very nicely furnished with all the things you need to cook while you are there. There is a large smart TV in the living room where we enjoyed watching movies. All the amenities were wonderful and we enjoyed our stay. We frequently rent vacations homes. Here are some things guests should know going in and that could easy make this rental 5 stars instead of 4: 1) This rental is owned by a real estate company not an individual. Check in is limited to business hours because you check in at the office not directly at the house. Luckily we arrived during business hours. Normally we travel at the end of a work day and arrive at night. Per the contract, this would've cost us $50 more. 2) We had to pay extra ($125) for sheets, pillow cases, and towels because it's not "summer season." I've never experienced that before. We stayed during spring break and Crystal Beach was packed. Not sure this should've qualified as "off season." This also means you have to make up your own beds when you arrive-- not a huge deal but not something I love to do on vacation. IMO, the real estate company should ditch the linen service and have house keeping handle linens for the convenience of their guests. Overall we loved the property and were happy with our stay.

The house was beautiful...We had a great time!!!

We did not have one complaint except the hand held can opener was broke. Lol. We will definitely be back. The owner that decorated this cabin must be an interior decorator , it’s beautiful!

We loved the open living and dining area and had plenty of room for the entire family to gather and watch movies on a rainy beach day. The place was extremely clean and we loved the decor of the beach home. If I had a beach house, this is what I would want.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time with family, we enjoyed the house. However, property could use a little attention; such as new water hose, shower head in master bath, bedding and rugs need washed and cleaned, new broom, new server - we had no WIFI after Wednesday morning - I had office work to do ... just a little TLC
Other then that we really enjoyed the house - just thought for the price things could of been nicer. Not equivalent to previous houses rented for same price in past years

This truly is on the best beach homes in Crystal Beach. The decor is quite tasteful with an open floorpan. The access to the beach was "like front row." We enjoyed spending time in the home, on the porch and on the beach. We definitely will look for this home when we book again.
