About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Once Upon A Tide - 4 BR Townhouse - Ocean Views from Top Sun Deck; Dog Friendly
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.

Top Floor Back Bedroom: King Bed; TV; full private bath (shower and garden tub)
1st Floor Front Bedroom: King Bed; full private bath (tub/shower); access to private covered deck

Location:
