Embark on your fairy-tale worthy vacation at Once Upon a Tide! Featuring top-notch amenities including an oceanfront pool and hot tub, elevator, fireplace, pool table and spectacular views, there’s plenty of space for everyone here. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, the ultimate friendcation or beginning your happily ever after with a beachside wedding, this large and luxurious home is the perfect setting for your next adventure and even welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

The reverse floorplan offers stunning views of the sand and sea stretching to the horizon from the open-concept living area. Settle together on the comfortable sectional to stream your favorite shows or share stories by the light of the electric fireplace. Feeling competitive? Grab a cue stick, rack ‘em up and crown a new champion every night with an oceanside pool tournament. A half bath is also located off this space for convenience.

The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, complete with a double oven and two refrigerators that make cooking for even a large group a breeze. The dining table seats 10, with four additional bar height chairs at the kitchen island and another four bar height chairs at the breakfast counter along the window. If you need even more space to eat, the pool table easily converts to a second dining table, and bench seating along each side accommodates at least eight comfortably.

On the first floor, a small lounge area overlooks the pool deck. Stretch out on the sofa to watch the game while the kids splash in the pool. Stock the fridge with cold drinks and heat up leftovers and quick snacks to keep your party fueled at the kitchenette.

Each bedroom features a TV for personal entertainment and direct bathroom access. Nine of the bedrooms are furnished with a king bed, while a bunk room on the first-floor features two double-over-double bunk beds. The bunk room and two of the second-floor bedrooms offer standard tub/shower combos in their bathrooms, while the other bathrooms are equipped with gorgeous tile roll-in showers that offer a spa-like experience.

Outside, triple oceanfront covered porches offer dramatic views and comfortable outdoor seating. Sip your morning coffee as dawn brightens the sky, enjoy a shady mid-day break and watch dolphins frolic in the surf or sit back with a tropical cocktail as magical sunset colors reflect on the waves and stars begin to twinkle in the distance. If you prefer to sunbathe, there are plenty of lounge chairs on the open pool deck so you can work on your tan. Splash in the private pool, which can be enjoyed even outside of the main summer season thanks to optional pool heating for an additional fee. Or let your adventure weary muscles relax as you listen to the music of the waves from the hot tub.

When it’s time to hit the sand, beach access is quick and easy, with a short sand path in front of the home to guide you through the dunes. Search for shells or shark teeth, surf or swim in the Atlantic or simply stroll along the shore and drink in the natural beauty of Oak Island. After the day’s adventures are through, shower off in the enclosed outdoor shower under the home and leave the sand where it belongs! Eco-conscious travelers will be pleased to notice the solar panels on the roof and the provided TESLA charger for your electric vehicle.
