This place was in the perfect location for a fun, peaceful and convenient stay (3 nights). After deciding the day before checkout that we wanted to stay an extra night, the host was more than flexible and quick to add another night. The view from the balcony is stunning, and condo was clean, welcoming, and cozy!We will be staying here whenever we return!

This is a beautifully appointed condo with a great view and covered balcony. It is conveniently located to everything. It is our second time staying here, for good reason, and we can highly recommend it. We like to come off season and there is still so much to see and do when it gets cooler/cold. Great hosts!

The property was clean and very well equipped, with a terrific balcony and a great ocean view. We went in the off season, but the location was convenient to several restaurants. Checkin and checkout were both very easy and convenient. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience, the view from the balcony is perfection no matter the time of day. I would caution anyone who has trouble walking that it is a walk up about 4 flights of stairs. However, the walk is worth it for the view from the balcony and the clean, lovely furnished space. The beds were also very comfortable with plush comforters and pillows. Highly recommend and we will hope to stay there again next year!

My husband and I came for New Years to enjoy some quality time. The condo was gorgeous with amazing views. The owners were very nice and answered our question on an item right away. Walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants. The covered porch overlooking the ocean was a huge bonus with comfortable lounge chairs, and we did actually see the civil war shipwreck on low tide.

The view from the balcony, living room, and the kitchen is tremendous. What can be better than enjoying your morning coffee as you watch the sunrise and the dolphins slowly swimming by. The condo is clean and suits its guests very well. Would my wife and I being willing to stay here again? The answer is absolutely, yes

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is just like the pictures - actually better than the pictures! Really well decorated and spacious. The balcony was probably our favorite spot where we could sit and watch/listen to the ocean. The location of this unit was ideal as well. Since the area is not right by large hotels/condo units, we felt like we had a more private section of the beach. The owner was great with communication and responded promptly. We also enjoyed the smaller touches like shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom plus the beach equipment. Good parking as well. Will definitely be back!

This condo was perfect for me, my husband and my parents. It was extremely well maintained, very clean and comfortable. It exceeded ALL of our expectations. The view was amazing and the balcony was plenty big enough for all four to be outside at the same time without feeling crowded. The owners are very responsive and have provided all the conveniences of home. We will definitely try to rent here in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A friend of mine and myself met up and stayed at this condo. It was very nice and felt really homey! Even though we didn’t use them, having the extra amenities like beach chairs, beach towels etc. was a great perk. We would definitely stay here again!!

Once Upon A Tide is a top floor unit in a well maintained older condominium in downtown Carolina Beach. With its pair of side by side sliding doors, the view is unmatched and the deck is perfect. Everything worth experiencing is an easy walk. Behind us was a park which was a great place to walk when the beach was too windy. It surrounds a lake whose visible inhabitants — egrets, ibises, turtles, ducks, etc. — were fun to watch and informative plaques re flora and fauna are artfully placed along the path. Furnishings in the condo are tasteful and comfortable — great beds! — and the kitchen and bathrooms have been adequately updated given the space limitations. All in all a great week in a great place in a great neighborhood!
