Will book this property again when we come to Topsail! The hosts are wonderful and were so easy to communicate with them and were very responsive!

OH. MY. GOODNESS! Where to begin!? We enjoyed our stay at “Once Upon a Tide” SO MUCH! The view is just wonderful on both the ocean side and the street side, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets! One of our favorite things is that there are so many decks! A perfectly delightful deck off the kitchen, street-side - with a table and chairs for relaxing and snacking, and then 3 decks ocean-side! You can always find shade or sun, whichever you prefer! The decor is perfection! - “Beachy” but not over the top or tacky! It’s very warm and inviting. The kitchen area is so open and clean! Everything has a place, and everything is in its place - easy to find, use, clean, and put away! Lots of hooks for towels and things, and motion detector night lights in strategic places! Speaking of night lights, the back steps are well lit at night! The owners, who are very easy to work with and were super easy to reach, thought of everything! We truly couldn’t have asked for more! I highly recommend a stay at “Once Upon a Tide”…and hope to return!

What an amazing home! The view of the beach is gorgeous, the home is very cutely decorated, and the kitchen was well stocked with any appliance/utensil needed. It was immaculately clean and well taken care of. An added bonus was plenty of beach towels and beach chairs. I would definately recommend to any staying in the area.
