About this property
Waterfront w/ Dock, Kayaks & Hot Tub
Step inside to high ceilings, skylights, and walls of windows flooding the open-concept living area with light. The living room centers on a plush gray sectional angled toward a wall-mounted TV above a teal tiled fireplace — the spot for game nights and lazy afternoons. A reading nook with a leather armchair sits beside the sliding glass door, so you can watch the canal ripple by while streaming music on the portable Bluetooth speaker.
The kitchen is a real cook's kitchen: a commercial-grade 6-burner gas range, stainless oven, dishwasher, rice maker, drip coffee maker, and a fully stocked cabinet of cooking basics and dishes. The quartz island and dining table — which extends to seat 8 — make a big group breakfast or a taco bar easy before everyone scatters to the dock.
The primary suite feels like a private escape: a king Tempur-Pedic bed, wall-mounted TV, and a convertible leather daybed that folds out for an 8th guest. The spa-style ensuite is genuinely special — dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, an oversized glass shower, radiant heated floors, a towel warmer, and a heated bidet toilet. This is the room parents fight over.
The bunk room sleeps kids and kids-at-heart, queen on the bottom and twin above, its own 50-inch TV, and playful coastal decor. The third bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed with canal views. A second full bath — glass shower, quartz counters, matching tile — serves both rooms.
Practical extras: an in-unit washer and dryer, a dedicated workspace, central heat and air, and a garage stocked with foosball, darts, cornhole, and the property's kayaks. A fully fenced backyard lets kids run free, and the private dock and hot tub anchor long evenings by the water.
WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Multi-generational families will find this home effortless — three real bedrooms, two full baths, a fenced yard, and a garage full of games mean nobody is stuck entertaining themselves. We've hosted groups spanning a 3-year-old to a 75-year-old comfortably under one roof.
Couples craving a quiet reset will love the primary suite's spa-style bath and the private dock at sunset — pour a glass of wine and let the hot tub do the rest.
Remote workers can use the dedicated workspace and Wifi by day, then be kayaking on the canal within five minutes of closing the laptop.
Anglers and paddlers get direct water access — cast a line from the dock or launch a kayak without a car.
Groups of friends wanting a beach-adjacent home base with room to spread out will find this waterfront setup checks every box.

We’re a group of 5 40-something moms looking for a weekend away and this house was perfect! Clean, modern, open, with every amenity we could ask for. Very cute, bright, thematic decor that felt like we were in one of our own homes. Communication with the owner was quick, clear, and friendly. Everything in the house was well organized and even labeled, for ease of use. Best rental home experience any of us have had. Highly recommend Once Upon a Tide!
The house was adorable, and the view from the dock was amazing. It was a great getaway with all the comforts and pampering opportunities. Morning coffee on the deck was fabulous.
The house was terrific. It slept all 7 of our crew comfortably. The kitchen is spacious, and had every utensil we could imagine. We made use of all 5 bicycles. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
Everything was perfect. We loved the property and the extra touches. The only feedback I would have is to clean up the spiders in the entry way there are a TON of them including a black widow. Kinda spooked my wife and little kids Also bonus feedback we have kids that like to fish but we’re not sure if there were any. So fishing tips are always welcome.
