It is mandatory that you air down your tires to 18PSI or less. Highly recommended that you carry a shovel in your vehicle. There is a FREE rapid air fill station 1.5 miles south of the beach entrance in the historic Corolla park.
This home boasts panoramic views and amenities that will make you never want to leave. "Once Upon A Tide" is the perfect place to call home for your stay. Beautiful views of the ocean to the East, awesome views of Penny Hill to the South (NC's 2nd largest sand dune), views of the community in the distance to the North, and great sunsets over the Sound from the top deck to the West.
Linens (bed sheets and towels) are NOT PROVIDED. Each bed has pillows, a quilt, and a light blanket. If you would like linens or towels we suggest renting from Moneysworth Beach Equipment and Linen Rentals in Corolla (they deliver).

This four-wheel-drive home is under 4 miles North of the 4x4 beach access. The house is a short easy walk across to our pristine northern beaches (approximately 500 feet). Carova is renowned for its wide, clean beaches - some of the most beautiful on the OBX.
Experience the Outer Banks the way people did years ago! No roads, no distractions, no complications - just miles of gorgeous coastline. Relax, unwind and reconnect with loved ones. Keep an eye out for wild horses grazing or dolphins playing in the surf from the colorful dolphin-watching chairs on the top floor deck!
This home is only accessible with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Most All-wheel drive vehicles are not capable of navigating the soft sand and off-road beach driving conditions. A friendly reminder to "air down" your tires to 15lbs or less. To find out more about 4x4 access and driving on the beach visit www.visitcurrituck.com/visitor-info/beach-driving-tips.

Summary: This large home is strategically laid out so multiple families can stay and still have privacy. The game room and kitchenette on the 1st floor made playing pool or enjoying the theater area perfect. The 2nd floor is laid out perfectly for 2 families, complete with 1 of the largest washers I have ever seen! The top floor had an amazing master, large seating area, huge kitchen table - we had 11 at it every day, a very well stocked kitchen, complete with a handy water cooler, and a sun room with lots of extra seating and a pull out sofa. The pool is large and easily accessible along with the outdoor shower and hot tub. This house truly has it all. 1st world problem, got stuck in the house for about an hour 1 morning as the wild horses were under the deck! This is the perfect house for any vacation!!

Summary: We had a great stay! The kitchen is very well equipped, we cooked every meal here for a week and never needed anything. I do suggest picking up drinking water before you go to the house (either bottles or the jugs from the Ace Hardward by the beach entrance). The owners do have this in their welcome brochure, but wanted to put it here too for others to see! The pool area is perfect for relaxing, as is the hammock on the second floor. We traveled with an infant and always felt that the house was safe for them. There are baby gates provided which was great! You can walk or drive to the beach. Can't forget the horses! The whole reason we stayed here. You will see horses daily both around the house and on the beach.

Summary: Nice house and location. The owner has everything you need in the kitchen. The pool and hot tub are a great asset to this property. We had an issue with the washer not spinning the clothes and the owner came the next day and replaced the washer. The horses were around 4 days. I have never been to a beach house that the owner contacted you personally to ask about how your stay has been going! Thanks Tom!

Summary: The property manager was very accommodating and great with communication throughout the whole trip! The house was clean we loved the views and enjoyed the horse viewing from our deck. I would most definitely come back and stay. Perfect location!!!

Summary: We had a wonderful vacation at OnceUponATide in June. We had 7 adults and 4 children for our stay. The house was spacious, clean, well equipped and close to the beach. We saw the wild horses almost every day and enjoyed the wrap-around porches, screened in porch, game room and lovely views. We had gorgeous weather every day and enjoyed the quiet beach. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Summary: We loved this house. It was so clean and organized when we arrived. Had some trouble with the lock but the owner was really easy to get ahold of and we worked it out quickly. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach and the pool was perfect to hang out in. We had three kids with us under 8 and they had plenty of space to play. Outdoor shower was key after the beach so the sand stayed out of the house. Owners had games and books there and the layout of the home gave everyone privacy if they wanted to go lay down. WiFi worked with no issues! We saw the horses each morning along with the beautiful sunrise off the top deck. We will be returning next year and can’t wait to make more memories!

Summary: We usually stay in the south beaches (Rodanthe/Waves/Salvo) and we've been wanting to stay in the 4x4 area for years. This was a great family reunion and first 4x4 trip! The house was easy to find, clean, description was accurate, and everything was great! We had family from three states converge to stay the week, with kids from 1-13 and everyone was happy and had plenty to do/play! Owner communication was excellent, especially considering we had an issue (our end) receiving the digital entry codes for check-in, but the owner responded quickly and reissued the codes. The only other problem was the water system needed to be flushed and the owners had the service tech out immediately and we were good to go! The location to the beach was fantastic for it not being ocean front. You could see the ocean and it was just a quick jaunt to get to the water. The only wish is that the trees in front of the house (actually in between the two houses in the oceanfront row) were trimmed a couple of feet to make the ocean view that much more spectacular! Of all the houses we've rented in OBX, we loved this one just as much (or more) and will definitely keep it in mind for our next trip!

Summary: The house was well appointed, the pool was nice and the hot tub was huge. The one child (a 4 year old) enjoyed her time tremendously as we did too. It was nice to be able to work from the top floor kitchen table and see the ocean since we were there for a wedding and the only day I took off the as the actual wedding day. There is some really nice furniture on the front porch, we loved the extra fridge in the basement! Some tips if you rent this house, bring your own coffee pot we ended up going out to get a reusable k-cup and just shared that in the Keurig coffee pot for the week since the pots built in grinder pot doesn’t grind enough coffee for a whole pot. Show up with at least 1 Primo water jug since the water in the house is very salty and the house has an amazing primo dispenser. With salty water in mind, if you don’t want salty ice, at least bring some ice trays - luckily we had our friends bring an ice maker with distilled water. Also check out on YouTube how to program the door because the directions in the package were challenging and once we set the code to 1234 by mistake we just stuck with that for the week. Every house has its quirks and the owners were very responsive with other issues we had. I wish them the best with this rental!

Summary: Our stay was great. The house is in a great location...the view to the ocean is good. The top deck is perfect to sit and chill...very quiet and relaxing. The horses came by the house a couple mornings. We saw them everyday of our stay either on the beach or in the area. The house was clean. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The house is very dog friendly. Carpet in the living area and on the stairs was a huge plus for our dog. He does not like coming down bare indoor stairs... So having the carpet was SO nice! The beach was great... plenty of parking room. A little busier with traffic compared to farther up the beach but nothing to deter a stay in that area. It is a huge plus being only a few miles from access road. You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle! And don't forget to deflate to 20 psi. Tom was very nice to talk with and quick to resolve an issue we had with entry (our bad). Overall it was a nice time spent at OnceUponATime and I would recommend staying there.

Summary: Experience was great from the moment I booked this property. We had a truly enjoyable week and I felt reassured that if I had any issues the property owners would be there for me and my family.
