Once Upon a Tide welcomes you to the barrier island of Navarre Beach. This island of sugar white sand sits in the waters between the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound. Once Upon a Tide boasts incredible views of both. Walk out our front door, and you’re a minute from the Sound. Walk out the back, and you’re a minute from the Gulf. Waterfront views surround our home, and sunsets and sunrises over the beaches and waters are spectacular.
Step into the luxury and comfort of our large, open two bedroom, two-bath home. Each of the two elegantly-decorated, spacious master bedrooms have king-sized beds and walk-in closets. The fireplace bedroom opens onto the Gulfside deck, and has an ensuite bath with double sinks and a large shower and drying area. The Soundside bath with entry directly from the Soundside bedroom has black granite counters and a shower/tub.
Have you had a great day sunning at the beach? Skip the inside showers and try the experience of rinsing off in our outside shower!
A queen murphy bed and a queen sleeper sofa round out the sleeping arrangements with wonderfully comfortable and fun sleeping space for up to eight guests.

This covered deck wraps around from the sunrise side to the sunset side which has Adirondack chairs for reading and for enjoying the beautiful views of the Sound. When you’re tired of the Sound view, turn around in your chair and enjoy the Gulf view. Or grab a bag and take the kids shelling, or swimming or wading along the shallows of the endless beaches of sand, the most sought-after, crystal-clear waters of the Gulf Coast. There are many bike trails along the property and throughout the area to appease your adventurous side, including paths through the National Seashore, nine miles of undeveloped beaches and dunes along the Gulf.
