Once Upon a Tide

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Even we can't believe the transformation! Once Upon a Tide has been completely remodeled with a fresh new look and modern furniture and finishing touches. This gulf view home is also an easy walk from the beach access point and from Sassy Bass Amazin' Grill and Market.

Located on a quiet street in desirable Fort Morgan, this home has expansive decking with beautiful beach views. Relax on the deck with your morning coffee or evening cocktail, and enjoy the option of dining al fresco. Whatever you do, don't miss the incredible sunsets!

Step inside to find new hard-surface flooring as well as comfortable and ample seating. Shiplap walls provide a subtle, beachy feel. There's a large dining table, additional counter seating, and a brand new kitchen with gleaming white shaker cabinets, stunning granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of work space. Also on the first level are two updated bedrooms, which share an updated hall bath with granite countertops and a modern glass-door shower.

The back staircase leads up to the unique bunk room, designed with siblings, cousins, or best friends in mind. There's an oversize, private bathroom off the bunk room featuring a granite double vanity, a door-less shower, and a bathtub. You'll be able to access the upper deck from this space - a great spot for stargazing or watching the Blue Angels if your visit coincides with a practice day.

But that's not all! There's a private deck on the back of the house as well. You'll use this space for dining, cocktails, stargazing, or just discussing the day's events. It can even serve as additional dining space at mealtime.

How bout that ride in
Vrbo might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when I met Johanna in 2014, I knew she was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So – there were two of us in the wolf pack. I was alone first in the pack, and then Johanna joined in later. And three years ago, when my job introduced me to Amanda and Gavin, I thought, ‘Wait a second, could it be?’ And now I know for sure, I just added two more people to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the beach together, in Fort Morgan, looking for white claws and sunshine. This placed offered everything me and my wolfpack needed. Great location, great house, great layout, great beds, great views. Would recommend to anyone.

Great Beach Vacation
Property was a great spot for a beach vacation, a very lovely home. Easy check in. We all loved the 3 decks. Kitchen was well supplied allowing us to cook. Short walk to the beach or short drive with public parking lot nearby was helpful getting to the beach with a baby. Would stay again.

Amazing property with updates!
This hidden gem was the highlight to our beach vacation! The communication was on point. They even called me a day after check in to make sure everything was ok. The house was completely updated with cute decor. The upstairs was huge and held all our kids. There’s 2 queen beds and a loft over them with 4 twin beds. The downstairs rooms aren’t huge, but a perfect size. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook for a week. There’s a few things they didn’t mention in the description that was a very nice touch. They have a Kuregic in the kitchen. And there’s TONS of beach toys for the kids, beach chairs, and even a cooler you have access to. The property also has bored games for the family. The only thing that I wish the property had was some baby gates. I have a 15 month old that kept wanting to climb the stairs and go down them. We just blocked it off with the coffee table and bar stools. It wasn’t that big of a deal. I read the reviews about the decks. Honestly, they could be replaced very soon. There’s some wear on them and they are old, but we didn’t mind. Overall, the property was great! A quick 3 minute walk to the beach. Beach view. Great updates and a comfortable bed will keep us coming back! :)

Great Time!!!
We loved our stay at Once Upon a Tide. It was within walking distance to the beach. The home was clean, nicely decorated, beautiful kitchen and open floor plan. You can see and hear the ocean from the home even though it is not beach front. We used all of the decks and enjoyed our coffee in the mornings. We had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this home. Thank you.

Newly Renovated Once Upon a Tide.
My experience renting this property was easy. I called Vrbo and got assistance from a CSR in locating and renting this property. I rented this house on a Monday evening and the check-in was scheduled for Thursday. The price was really reasonable and the house was very spacious and clean. The only problem I had with renting this property was that the company sent me a picture of the old house instead of the newly renovated picture. Man, did I get upset and overreact. So, let me save everyone else the embarrassment of acting up and false accusing the people of discriminating against you. Once Upon a Tide is newly renovated and is very inviting, clean, and comfortable. It looks nothing like the old brown stuffy and dusty looking house on the picture. The color scheme is nice and the beds are comfortable. There is no early check-in 4:00pm and you must be out by 10am that was non- negotiable for me and my family. But the price is very reasonable for what you are getting.

We had a great time. The house was great. We wish the weather would have held out a little more but we came home as Global World Champions! Only a few minor things we didn't have taken care of....trash on deck was full and a few lights didn't work. The walls had some food on them but that can be easily missed when cleaning the house after a stay. We bought a few extra kitchen towels because one just isn't enough for a week stay without washing everyday. We hope we can visit again! The house worked out perfect for our large group! Thank you!

Great time
We had a great time at this property. The house was just as pictured. It was very clean but we did clean everything before using in the kitchen with everything going on. It had plenty of room for everyone, we had 12 in our group and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Short walk to the beach from the house. We loved that it was away from all the restaurants and shopping. We had a small problem with the thermostat, it had a mind of its on and watching tv in the living room in the day, you had to put a sheet over the doors. Other then those small problems we had a fabulous time and really enjoyed our stay. Loved the house and the location.

Perfect for a little older kids. Send them upstairs to the 3 bunk beds and parents stayed on the main level. Easy short walk to the beach. Watched the waves drinking my morning coffee. Outdoor shower down stairs is a game changer.

beach time
The property overall was as presented. The air conditioner stopped working the second day and the owner was very responsive, having it up and running within a couple of hours after reporting it, even at night. The biggest complaint was the sheets not being changed between guests. Every bed had sand in the sheets from previous guests and had to be washed before we could use them. Most everything else was wonderful and the area was very enjoyable. Would rent the property again with the expectation that the issue would be corrected.
