Once Upon a Tide

We had a great time. Cobb is so easy to work with. The cabin was clean and had a great view!

We spent five glorious days at Once Upon a Tide on Crystal Beach between Christmas and New Year's. It was so relaxing and the house is perfect! Great view of the Gulf. Well equipped kitchen. Great place for family time. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend for people looking for an off season get away.

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!

This was the third time I rented Once Upon a Tide. I think that says it all.

Our family celebrated Christmas/New Years at Once Upon A Tide. It is a lovely cabin with a great ocean views and golf cart path to access the beach. Accommodations were good...we could all fit around the large table to eat and play games.

This house was perfect for a short vacation from Houston. The location was ideal and the front porch was deep and well shaded and the perfect place to spend our time when we were not on the beach.
The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked all of our meals so appreciated the well planned kitchen.

Once upon a time is a beautiful place with a great view, very clean and well kept. 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 this place and the view!!

The view and the sound of the waves was incredibly therapeutic. Nice Spring Break getaway for our kids as well as the adults.
Bring beach toys with you when you come as garage was locked for renters...other than that, everything was perfect and well stocked with everything you would need.

- Kelly G. from GEORGETOWN, Posted: 04/04/2020

This was the perfect place for our family of 6. It would have slept more, but we were extremely comfortable. 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.

We stayed here for a family getaway for the week between Christmas and New Year's. House was beautiful and great location with easy beach access. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and very beautiful and clean The only thing is I wish they had better mattresses in all the rooms. They all sag and quite uncomfortable.

- Tina G. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/28/2018

Our girls getaway was perfect in this beautiful beach house! The house was very clean, decorated very fun and beachy. The kitchen had everything you need for an easy no issues vacation.
We had a great view and very close to the water.

We enjoyed our stay at "once Upon a Tide". The best place we have ever rented. Very clean and completely furnished. Some places are lacking in kitchen tools, plates and dishes, pots and pans, but not this place. It had everything and all in good working order. The house was tastefully decorated and added to the seaside experience. the location to the beach was very convienent. The views were great even though the house is on the second row. We are not accoustomed to salletite TV, but the detailed instructions in the guest services book was very helpful. The open concept of the house made it seem larger than the actual square footage indicated on the brochure. We will definitely be back.

Our experience was wonderful. The house has a wonderful layout and my family really enjoyed our stay!

Great view, new and nice house
Large # of seating in the kitchen/bar
Would have liked t.v.'s in bedrooms

- Katrina R. from Broaddus, Posted: 07/22/2014

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.
