Once Upon A Tide: Cozy Dataw Island Villa

Welcome to Once Upon A Tide! True to its name with beautiful palm tree views overlooking the tidal marsh and 18th green of the Cotton Dike Golf Course. Once Upon a Tide is your perfect Low Country getaway. Situated in the Bluff Villas area on Dataw Island, this community offers guests historical charm, modern amenities, and natural beauty. Dataw Island is conveniently located just six miles from the town of Beaufort and fifteen minutes from scenic Hunting Island State Park.

Enjoy spectacular views of Jenkins Creek tidal marsh and coastal wildlife as you relax on your deck. Just steps away from this villa is the Dataw Island Club where you can enjoy lunch, dinner or brunch on Sundays. The community dock is a short walk where you can go crabbing, fishing or kayaking. The outdoor resort style pool (seasonal), which overlooks Jenkins Creek, is also a short walk from the villa. You can take a relaxing swim or read a good book while enjoying the coastal breeze.

The villa sleeps up to 6 guests and is tastefully decorated with low country, beach themed artwork, updated amenities, and comfortable furnishings.
