About this property

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.

First, communication for this trip was excellent, and that is the foundation of a good stay. The ocean view from the condo can't be beat (I am thankful to have found such a place), and the additional security placed on the ocean gate by the pool was a good addition to the many attractions of this building.
