This home Is a wonder to behold. A gem, from the seashell driveway to all the unique and special memoribilia, it is has everything to amaze young and old alike. Our family, looking for peaceful and quiet vacation, had an amazing time at Ebb Tide. Mornings after a calm and liesurely breakfast were spent watching the kids run up and down the beach, collecting seashells and making sandcastles. After lunch we would check out some of the local attractions. The turtle hospital is a great place to see and touch (the stingrays) and experience the local wildlife. The light house and all it's history is not to be missed, and don't forget to take a walk out on the jetty. After dinner we would relax and wait for nightfall when we would take the kids, with flashlights, out onto the beach, tell spooky stories, and take in the wonderment of it all. The owners Michael and Leslie are wonderful and gracious hosts, full of information and available to address any situation. They made our stay that much better. Our children loved Ebb Tide. There has not been a day , since we have been home, that they have not mentioned the beach and wanting to learn how to surf. We look forward to visiting again, in the future, when the weather is a little more cooperative. Thank you Michael and Leslie for sharing your amazing home with us. It is 'One of a kind'.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children.

What an absolutely wonderful home! I had the most amazing time here and it's charm is truly unique. It is beautiful, romantic, peaceful, and the porch had the best "morning coffee spot" I have ever had! I think what made it even better was Michael! Thank you for sharing your home....and what a joy to see the love of family that surrounds it! I'll see you next summer... :)Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We just returned a few hours ago from one of the very best beach experiences of my life.....and this is over 50 years. This was by far the most special beach house I (and my family) have ever experienced. Words cannot really describe how incredibly special and personal this rental property is and has touched as well as inspired all of us. Ponce Inlet has been my special place for many years and this week allowed us to experience this area like never before. Great accomodations, very professional and immediate communication, and the best oceanfront property you will ever find! My husband, thirteen year old daughter and friend, and myself thank you so much Michael for this unforgettable week before the upcoming reality of the school year begins! We look very forward to returning as soon as we can.....Ebb Tide will forever be in our hearts and souls.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

As a sixth generation Floridian, I can confirm that this is a classic Florida beach house thoughtfully updated with modern amenities. Our family of five did not want to leave after a week. This home is NOT a cookie - cutter beach rental with generic furnishings but is instead thoughtfully outfitted and decorated as a family home. It boasts ridiculously comfortable beds, an enormous lot that provide privacy rarely found oceanfront today, a well stocked kitchen for the cook and plenty of space to lounge both indoors and outdoors. Home is an easy walk to pristine nature preserve and local market for daily newspaper. Close enough to Orlando to take in the amusement parks if you so desire. We'll be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Myself and my family spent 8 great days and nights in July. The home was great inside however the best is outside the hugh deck is open and corvered overlooking the dunes, beach and ocean. The master bedroom suite has the most comfortable bed I have slept on. The beach area is not crowded as you are surrounded by homes and 1 condo. However you are just 10 miles from the center of Daytona beach. Don't miss out this is a great experience for a beach vacation.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Michael, we loved your home! I can’t find words to accurately describe Ebb Tide. What a gorgeous place! It was everything you described and so much more. This was our first visit to Ponce Inlet, and it definitely won’t be our last. The area is nice and quiet, the beach is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking, and this house was unbelievable. Our family had a perfect vacation. Nothing was lacking. This house has everything you could ever need and so much more, and the surfing memorabilia was amazing! You can tell there’s so much love and life in this house. Our children greatly enjoyed the beach and our visit to the lighthouse. The adults had a great time sitting on the deck at night under the brightest stars we have ever seen. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thanks for a fantastic experience, we will definitely be back!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1990
About the owner: I found this house while searching for the perfect beach 23 years ago with my girlfriend who now is my wife ( Leslie) 'Ebb Tide' was built in 1967 by a very wealthy lady from Chattanooga who just wanted peace and quiet and escape from her life- It's our home now, we occasional spend a lot of time traveling and away so now after 23 years of ownership we are opening it up just a little. We have two small children ( 9&10), we're surfers so all our surfing / paddling lives are imprinted all over the house. It's a very romantic house and as the former owner told me when I purchased it - it comes alive after midnight!@! It's a cool house one of kind.
Why the Owner Chose Ponce Inlet:
Ponce Inlet is Florida best kept secret even if its started to be developed in the late 90's. There's a reason racing was started here, the beaches are very very wide and non driving. Ponce Inlet is a sweet little town, last one leaving New Symrna Beach please turn off the lights- and please let NSB know that were sorry that all their sand has washed up on our shores the last 15 years, cant stop mother nature from improving on herself!! Seriously Once you go to Ponce Inlet you'l be back- ' where the ocean meets the river' sweet little town, theres a cool old light house, a turtle hospital, neat inlet you can walk out on, no drive beachs, great surf .
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet:
quiet, quiet, quiet , surf , surf , surf, sleep , sleep , sleep there's stuff to do around town but who wants to leave?? Light House is alwsy fun, Turtle Hospital at Inlet is cool, walking the Inlet is alwsy our fav- sun sets on river w/a fish sandwich and beer can't be beat- Must stop and see Ho Daddy O's SURF CREAM!!! that's my shop. Walk to Ponce Preserve from my house, very very cool!
