Nice place, in my opinion its over priced compared to the other place we stayed before. The pool was ok, cold, the area around the pool had bird mess every where including the chairs. Love the screen porch. Inside was good space .
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 6, 2020
Thank you Betty for sharing your recent experience while visiting the Outer Banks. We are so happy to hear you loved the screen porch, and found the interior of Once Upon A Tide to have good space. The natural beauty of the Outer Banks is one of the many reasons is it a special place, but unfortunately sometimes the evidence of nature around the pool is not the most pleasant, and we apologize for this. In the future never hesitate to contact our office as we will gladly clean anything needed while you are still here. Again thank you for your feedback Betty, and we look forward seeing you for another great year.
