Great spot with great decore and close to the beack with great gulf views- Anonymous from Willis, Posted: 07/26/2022
Beautiful view of the Gulf. Nice and breezy. Wash access to the beach.- Stacee H. from Boerne, Posted: 06/28/2022
This was the third time I rented Once Upon a Tide. I think that says it all.- Anonymous from Houston , Posted: 05/12/2022
The house was beautifully decorated...We had a great time- Diona A. from McKinney, Posted: 07/27/2021
Very nice and comfortable rental. Location is close to the beach and all your extra needs.- Danny V. from Ringling, Posted: 03/24/2021
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.- Anonymous from Lumberton, Posted: 01/04/2021
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.- Anonymous from Houston , Posted: 06/06/2020
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!!- Cindy H. from Vidor , Posted: 05/06/2020
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.- Alicia T. from Jacksonville, Posted: 07/13/2019
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.- Lawanda 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!
Dianna- Dianna F. from Humble, Posted: 05/27/2017
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.
