Our time at Once Upon a Tide

Great vacation home in a very nice and convenient location. There were 10 of us (3 couples and 4 kids) and there was plenty of room and the house was very comfortable. My only complaint, and it is a small one, was that there is no beach access by car.. There is a pathway too the beach and it is wide enough for a golf cart which we had rented but got it stuck many times trying to cross the sand dunes.

Memorial day weekend with the family

My family and I rented this beach house ti enjoy a nice memorial day weekend on the beach.. The property was beautiful well decorated and furnished property with in a 5 minute walk to the beach . The convience of all the amenities made it easy to BBQ and enjoy a laugher filled weekend with the family. I did run into some snags. We payed for early check in so that the guys could watch the big soccer game but when we arrived the TV in the living room was broken and did not turn on. We called the property manager and she sent the maintenance man out the following day in which he concluded the TV was broken. Also during our stay the microwave just suddenly lost all power and broke. But other than that I would recommend this house and rent it again. Neighborhood was nice and the beach was clean.
