Step inside to discover a sunlit haven. With its spacious layout and elegant design, this retreat exudes relaxation from every corner. The airy interior is tastefully decorated with a Beachy aesthetic, featuring soothing hues, natural textures, and contemporary furnishings that invite relaxation. Each of the four bedrooms offers a serene retreat, complete with crisp linens, plush bedding, and coastal accents that evoke a sense of tranquility. The three and a half bathrooms are beautifully appointed with modern fixtures and stylish finishes. Xbox gaming system in the loft for entertainment during those rainy days. Indulge in endless hours of fun and laughter in the game-filled garage, complete with seating where you can relax between games or cheer on fellow competitors or pull out the Xbox gaming system in the loft for those rainy days. Outside, a private deck awaits providing the perfect setting for soaking up the sun, enjoying sunset cocktails in the hot tub, gathering around the firepit, or indulging in a barbecue feast. Just steps from the path to the beach, whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, this vacation rental offers the best of both worlds.

Once Upon A Tide is not a pet friendly cottage.

Oyhut Bay Seaside Village is built on the edge of the Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area. Often called the “natural side” of Ocean Shores, this area offers miles of sea level hiking. Bring your camera for some wonderful nature photography. The nearby north jetty has spectacular waves to enjoy from afar - especially at high tide or on a stormy day.

Just across Marine View Drive, Oyhut Bay provides access to 26 miles of canals for kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding. Even on the rainiest of beach days, there is something for everyone at Oyhut Bay. Enjoy a relaxing fire in the fireplace and a good book. There are no bad days at the beach.

We can't wait to welcome you to the beautiful Oyhut Bay Seaside Village!

by Shannon M

Once Upon a Tide is a home away from home. It was so inviting we didn't want to go home.

The house was clean and as expected. The games setup in the garage were great for the kids and the Christmas decorations were a nice touch for the season. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at Once Upon a Tide several times. We love that we have plenty of room for my family to spread out, and relax after beach days. This house is always spotless and well stocked. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Great Place to Stay

by Maxwell Family

We had a family reunion. We were able to have two families stay in this house (4 adults and 5 children). This house has two bedrooms with their own bathroom that the adults really liked. My grandkids enjoyed having separate rooms. Kitchen was well equipped and became the focal place for our families to cook and eat together. Everyone enjoyed the deck and the hot tub. Older grandkids enjoyed the games in garage.

Fantastic place to stay for a getaway!

by Jessica L.

We stayed here with friends and had such a great time. The house is absolutely stunning and decorated so lovely! We had everything we could possibly need while we were there. The location to the private beach was a perfect walk. We would stay here a million more times if we could. We loved it!!!!

Perfect getaway

by Brian

We had a wonderful weekend stay with family and friends. The weather was not so great, but we had so much fun in the house that we didn't even pay attention to the rain and wind outside. Beautiful home, games and activity space was perfect, and the kitchen was perfect for entertaining. Great place for couples and also families with kids. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Stay!!!

by The Storys

We joined a group of friends at this amazing home! Our friends arrived first so they had the lay of the land, but it didnt matter who picked their room 1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th because they were all so lovely! Even arriving 2nd we were not sure which room we wanted because they were all so nice! We were so comfortable in our bed we didn't want to get out in the mornings. After we arrived and picked a room we headed straight to the beach for a walk which was just right outside our door. The home backs up to a greenbelt right on the beach, and offers a nice windbreak when you're in the hottub! Definitely a must take advantage of like we did! It was so awesome to be right there with the beach out your back door. There's a lovely view as well from upstairs. The beach was so beautiful, it was like a private oasis, immaculate and pristine, not the crazy public beach we are used to when you head to the ocean elsewhere. Here you had a private sanctuary passing by only the select few who might be a neighbor. We were sure to hit the beach numerous times over our stay despite it being winter. It was like the sky kept clearing over us every time we chose to adventure out. It was so beautiful! The home had so many little personal touches, you could tell the owners really cared about making you comfortable. Like not just your typical commercial instant coffee packets, but they put actual pod selections for you and a Keurig. The kitchenware was top-notch, it was so nice we always returned the favor by taking extra care right back just the way the owners seemed to offer their extra care to us. They even had popcorn and the silicone microwave popper for you to make an extra treat you didn't think to grab, an added touch in case you were ready to settle in on a stormy ocean evening to watch a movie with family. There were board games, and puzzles too. They even had a separate living area on the second floor so that the kids could have separate space and games in the garage like airhockey.

What a great experience!

by Anne

What a welcoming and comfortable home! The owners seem to have thought of everything. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with plenty of space to prepare meals. The cozy indoor seating area provided a great place to sit and catch up with friends by the fireplace. All the bedrooms were HUGE with ceiling fans and plenty of light. Outstanding views from two of the upstairs bedrooms! The deck provided an inviting place to relax in the hot tub, BBQ or just sit around the firepit. Even the garage was put to great use with games and a built in bar. Larger or small groups will not want to leave!
