About this house rental

Quiet respites at the beach are perfect for rest and relaxation. At Once Upon a Tide, a nicely decorated four bedroom, 3 ½ bath dog friendly town home located on a dead-end street in Surf City, you can find such a place. Enjoy the sun deck with ocean views or relax with a good book under the covered deck on the 1st floor. Either way, this town home will help recharge the soul.

Laid out in the popular reverse floorplan style to maximize your views from the main living spaces on the second floor. The open living room, dining area and kitchen are well lit and brightly decorated. The sun streams in through the large windows and doors, leading out to a street side oceanview sundeck. Two seating areas provide ample space for movies or conversation and the dining table seats 8, with room for 4 more at the counter.

The property is in an ideal location. Very clean, but furniture needs updated. Would like to have had dishes....all other kitchen supples were available. Will use Ward Realty when booking our next vacation in Topsail.

This house was perfect for our family. The location was great. 2 minute walk to the beach and there are some good local places to eat nearby. The house was clean and well maintained. Exactly as described. The Ward Reality had very good communication with us prior to and all through our stay. They even called me to make sure I understood how to use the keypad when we got there. We had an unexpected maintenance breakdown the night before leaving, but it wasn't something to inconvenience our stay. I called and they were scheduling to take care of it the next morning. Overall, everything was great. We will definitely use the rental agency again.

Our stay at Once Upon A Tide was absolutely amazing…. Everything from the house being very clean and well laid out to the location was above & beyond. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are extremely comfortable and the outdoor shower was fantastic. A 30 second walk to the beach just topped it off! We’ll definitely be back next year!!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2021
Loved the location and layout of the property, and the decor was super cute. However, the house could use some TLC. All furniture in the main area of the house were noticeably old and worn. The couch felt like it did not have any cushion left in it and your butt and back actually hurt after sitting on it for a while. The dining room chairs all had dings and paint scraped off in countless little spots all over. The master shower was old and looked old, with black guck all around shower door edges and corners. The jacuzzi was a nice big size but noticeably dirty and unsanitary, with stains and guck around all the jets. Jacuzzi should be cleaned annually and this one looked like it hadn’t been cleaned much over the years.
