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.- Alicia T. from Jacksonville, Posted: 07/13/2019
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- Donna T. from Humble, Posted: 07/10/2019
We had a group of 8 adults... really nice place... very tastefully decorated ...well appointed kitchen, had everything we needed...we will be back !- Anonymous from Orange, Posted: 06/05/2019
Great location and view. Weather didn't cooperate but at least it didn't snow�� Will be back again.- Stacee H. from Lufkin, Posted: 03/19/2019
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!- Anonymous from Lufkin, Posted: 01/20/2019
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.- Rebecca B. from Granbury, Posted: 06/02/2018
This rental felt like home. It was beautiful and very well taken care of. Great views and an awesome community.- Cherrish B. from Houston, Posted: 04/04/2018
Robin in the office was great working with. Very helpful and nice- Stacee H. from Lufkin, Posted: 07/25/2017
This cabin was absolutely beautiful. We had a great view of the beach. Our family had a wonderful time and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. This will be our family vacation spot from now on. Thanks!

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.- William M. from Houston, Posted: 01/04/2017
Our experience was wonderful. The house has a wonderful layout and my family really enjoyed our stay!- Anonymous from Hutto, Posted: 08/16/2016
Great house and Cobb like always was great- Jim H. from Lufkin, Posted: 09/15/2015
Our family and friends enjoyed our stay.- Anonymous from Raywood, Posted: 09/01/2015
We had a wonderful time and I would recommend this property to family and friends.- Anonymous from Baytown, Posted: 08/01/2014
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.

very nice- Matthew B. from Beaumont, Posted: 08/21/2013
