On Seaside Ave. Lock Off w/Amazing Porches, Steps to Beach + 2 Adult Bikes!
1 King Loft Bedroom
Welcome to, ‘Once Upon a Tide’- an open and spacious one-bedroom lock-off located on the stunning and iconic Seaside Avenue! This Seaside gem is conveniently situated just one block to the town center, and a short walk to the beautiful white beach. This lock-off provides a private side entrance (on Savannah Street), as well as an inviting open-air deck with outdoor lounge furniture surrounded by a large private fenced-in yard and a large rear porch, featuring a dining area that can accommodate up to 8! This airy and ‘feel good’ rear porch can most definitely serve as the ultimate outdoor setup, where you or your group can enjoy an outdoor dining experience, morning coffee, or a nightcap, equipped with stellar views.
Step inside to the open living area that has a flat-screen TV, and is adjacent to the dining and kitchen area. The dining area comfortably seats six and the kitchen has a breakfast bar with additional seating for four more. There is a full-size kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage, and cookware to accommodate any length of stay in Seaside.
If you head up the stairs, there is a king primary loft bedroom, featuring a full-size bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Just off the king loft lies a spacious, airy private porch with seating space for two, offering treetop views, white picket fences, and timeless Seaside brick-paved roads. If you have been craving a Seaside beach moment or just hit the reset button, this cottage has you covered.
Once Upon a Tide is a much larger one-bedroom lock-off escape for couples located on a quiet corner of Seaside Avenue and Savannah Street and across from the pool. If you need a little more space, check out the additional two-bedroom lock-off option, Once Upon a Tide 2.

Hidden Gem!!!
Loved this cozy guesthouse. Ample space to stretch out, perfect location on a quiet corner lot. The balcony is a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Kitchen is stocked with the essentials. Bed could have be a little more comfy but that’s a tiny flaw in a long list of ideal comforts. We will be back again!

A great get away
The property is lovely and is well located. It is two blocks from the beach and just across the street from the adult pool and from the fitness center. The property was clean and in good condition. There is a grocery store about two miles away.
