About Property

Discover the ultimate beach retreat at Once Upon a Tide, a luxurious vacation rental home nestled in the central area of East Beach in St. Simons, Georgia. This stunning property is designed for unforgettable experiences, whether you are planning a large group getaway or a romantic escape to paradise.

The home features 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 5 beds, with a guest capacity of up to 12 people. The layout begins in the original home with a quaint sitting room that overlooks the pool area, perfect for reading and quiet moments. This section includes a queen bedroom with a TV and ensuite bath with shower, as well as a king bedroom with a TV and ensuite bath with shower. Moving past the original home's tabby wall, you enter a grand addition featuring a family room with a large screen TV, an open kitchen, and a dining room. This area provides magnificent views of the courtyard and the pool, which features an overflow fountain and a shady spot beneath a grand live oak tree. Upstairs, you will find a bunk room with 4 singles and a TV, an adjoining queen bedroom with a TV, and a shared bathroom with a combination shower/tub. The second floor is completed by a grand king bedroom that overlooks the pool courtyard, offering a TV, sitting area, and an adjoining bathroom with a shower.

Location and Neighborhood: Located near the 7th Street beach entrance, the home offers easy access to the ocean via a path through beautiful sand dunes. The property is situated in the East Beach neighborhood, a quaint area of single-family homes stretching from the U.S. Coast Guard Station—home to the World War II Home Front Museum—to Gould's Inlet. The charming village is only a few miles away, and guests often rent bikes or golf carts to explore the island.
