Welcome to the new, beautifully and professionally decorated and well stocked ONCE UPON A TIDE, Port Aransas Beach Home! This perfectly situated 5 bedroom, 4 bath beach house checks all of the boxes inside and out!

The location of Once Upon a Tide is hard to beat. It's in the heart of Old Town but very close to Alister St where all of the eateries, souvenir shops, music, ice cream shops, etc are located. You can walk there! But it's also in the golf cart zone, so easily rent a golf cart (ask us about golf cart rental partners with discounts) and cart everywhere you want to be in Port A and to the beach and back, which is only about 5-6 blocks depending on which way you want to go!

Guests can rent a golf cart from Coastal Eds! We encourage you to book the golf cart with Coastal Eds as soon as possible, we cannot guarantee availability if you choose to delay booking.

Knowing you have a perfect location, pulling up to park is super easy at Once Upon a Tide as it offers parking for 4-6 vehicles depending on size, along with boat parking and golf cart parking; you won't be wondering if you can fit! Under the covered drive, you'll enjoy an outdoor bar with swing seating, a ping pong table, outdoor dining area, grill, and plenty of seating with lots of shade! Through the gate, you'll enjoy your own private pool (heated seasonally for an additional fee).

You'll certainly enjoy the outdoors but wait until you walk upstairs and enter Once Upon a Tide - front and back decks to catch sunrise and sunset, with seating, and open the door to a very spacious home with everything you want and expect, plus some, in a vacation rental!

Once Upon a Tide offers a large living area with large TV, well stocked and perfectly laid out kitchen which is perfect for the cooks to prep, cook, serve, along with oversized dining area with bar seating. Everyone will have a seat in these common areas!

Make your way down the hallway to a full-size washer and dryer, available for guest use. You'll have 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms: 1 King Suite with private bath, 1 Queen Suite with private bath, 1 Bunk Room with 2 twin over twin bunks, and 2 additional bedrooms, 1 with king and 1 with queen, along with 2 hallway/guest bathrooms. Everyone will have their own space to relax after a day at the beach or a day of fishing!
