Once Upon a Tide - Beachfront Condo

Windswept Villas - Relax with your coffee or a drink on the balcony of this remodeled 3rd floor Condo with beautiful views of the ocean! Even better, wake up in the King size bed as you look out the 8ft. expansive glass doors as the morning sun rises up to meet the horizon. Whatever you choose, you’ll love the feeling of being at here at Once Upon a Tide! This building is directly beachfront with private access to the beach or our saltwater pool. Calm, relaxing atmosphere as you enjoy everything Surfside Beach has to offer. This unit has a fully equipped kitchen (both a regular & Keurig coffee maker), full bath, lots of storage and in-unit washer & dryer! Cable TV and high-speed internet to reach out to the outside world if you need to.... OR just sit back, watch the waves & dolphins and let time slowly relax both your mind and body. The sofa reclines on each end as you sit back at night and watch cable TV. Shelving on each side of the bed with outlets equipped to charge your devices while you sleep. Bluetooth speaker/light/night light/fans allows you to listen to you favorite tunes while showering or soaking in the tub. Beach chairs included with rental. Once you’re here, you’ll never want to leave! Unfortunately there is NOT an elevator and the unit is on the 3rd floor. However the view is worth every step!!!!

Walking distance to Piers, restaurants and beach shopping or just a short drive away from Murrells Inlet, dubbed the Seafood Capital of South Carolina; where you’ll find a wide variety of seafoods, steaks, pizza and even burgers, as you dine while looking out over the Inlet and Marsh as the sun goes down. You can even stroll down the Marsh Walk and listen to a variety of bands/music.

Just bring a few necessities, the one you love, and enjoy your best vacation ever at Once Upon a Tide! Sorry, no pets allowed. Additionally, plug-ins are being for those who are sensitive or may have allergies to scented products.

Linen package included.

The view was amazing. We spent a great deal of time on the balcony, day and night time views. Awesome. The room was very clean and just the right size for my wife and I. All communication with the host was very concise, clear, and timely. We had no complaints and will be staying at this unit in the future. We highly recommend it.

We loved this condo. It was the cleanest unit that we've ever rented. The unit matched the description perfectly. Views from the living area and the balcony were spectacular, particularly if you like to see the sunrise. Check-in was simple, and communicating with the host was even easier. She is a great host. We would definitely stay in this condo again.

Excellent host, location, and unit. The beach views are amazing, and the pool is convenient and clean. Less than a mile walk to Surfside pier and great restaurants. I absolutely love Teresa - she has by far been the best host we have had on ANY platform. We will return every year we can!!

The host was quickly to respond to all questions. Condo unit was very clean and had all amenities needed to have a great experience on the beach. Wonderful views while sitting on the balcony. There is no elevator but we saw it as good thing. We just saw it as exercise to walk off all the great food we ate. Will definitely be returning to this condo unit!!!

Absolutely loved it!

My husband and I loved our stay! The unit was beautiful and Teresa was wonderful to work with. She was so responsive, accommodating , and a pleasure to talk to you. When we arrived, we went right out to the balcony which has comfortable furniture and an amazing ocean view. The deck gets sun and shade so we really enjoyed our time out there. Everything is provided: Keurig, beach chairs and linens. Washer and dryer in unit, big comfy bed so you wake up to ocean view every morning. Very clean. Short walk to restaurants and shops. Charming , quiet area. Wide streets and beautiful Carolina colors. Every restaurant we’ve been to in last two trips were wonderful. Casual environment, friendly people.
