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.

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.

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!

Best Seaside Stay Yet!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We truly loved this rental. We’ve been coming to Seaside a handful of times a year for the last 6 years and this was, without a doubt, our favorite stay. Great storage, plenty of comforts of home with a tub, washer/dryer, full sized fridge, etc. Loved the outdoor space and the proximity to the gym/pool and town square. Hoping to secure it for all future trips! And Homeowner’s Collection always takes such good care of us. Ready to return!

Perfect for two

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great place!!! My favorite was waking up in the morning to all of the light and looking out the beautiful windows. Perfect size for my husband and me. We’ve been to Seaside for the past 10 years but always with our kids. This was the first year it was just the two of us. Quiet, beautiful, clean. Short walk to beach and town. Would recommend! We should have paid more attention to the parking and access directions :)) But we didn’t so it took us a minute to figure out which door and parking assignment. But as soon as I reached out to management, they were there in minutes!!

A Perfect Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once Upon A Tide is in an excellent location, almost in the center of Seaside but on the quieter end of Seaside Ave. When we weren’t out biking, walking, beaching, shopping or swimming (the adult pool is 40 steps away), we spent most of our time enjoying the 2nd floor porch off the bedroom. It is a comfortable place to people watch, read or just enjoy the beautiful surrounding scenery. The house is well appointed, comfortable and stylish and had everything we needed or wanted. There was no one staying in the larger portion of the house so we had the sole use of the ground level outdoor seating area and enjoyed that space - its string lighting adds to the magical feel of the neighborhood. The corner lot where this house is located is one of the largest in Seaside so it feels very grand. We’ve stayed in 6 or 7 different locations in Seaside but this one was definitely our favorite and will stay here again when our plans call for just a one bedroom. One thing to note: we arrived after dark and not knowing the layout of the property we couldn’t find our entrance door with key pad very easily. I tried calling the after hours number for the rental agency but got no response. We finally found our entry door (it’s on the back side of the house). Other than that issue, and not including our pool passes in our welcome packet, the property management company was good and their communication better than expected .

Perfect place for two!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once Upon a Tide is a perfect place for a couple. The king bed and small bath in the loft upstairs allows for good living space in the downstairs area. We are early risers, so the sun shining in the tall second story vaulted ceiling and windows was welcome, but if you are late sleepers and like it dark in the morning, you might not love this. The apt. Is spacious and the kitchen/living areas are very comfortable. There is an upstairs balcony and a large outdoor seating area to enjoy this huge corner lot in a prime location of Seaside; walkable to the beach pavilion and town center. Management was outstanding and responsive- and even got us on the beach when we arrived sooner than expected. Everything was clean and very comfortable. This felt much bigger than a typical one bedroom or carriage house situation. Would definitely return!
