Formerly "As Good As It Gets" just got better!! This 2nd row home has great views and beach access right in front of the house! Hardwood floors throughout, lots of natural light, soothing color palette, comfy furnishings and a short stroll to the beach. The bright open great room allows everyone to interact whether cooking up a pot of gumbo, playing monopoly at the table or lounging on the couch with a good book. There's ample seating for meals with a large dining table and extra stools at the kitchen island. The charming kitchen, with custom cabinets, granite countertops and a coffee nook, is fully stocked with everything one needs to make meal preparation a breeze. The deck offers both shaded and sun areas and great views with lots of seating for outdoor entertaining. Enjoy the Barbeque grill and large picnic table under the house as additional outdoor entertaining space. Once Upon a Tide was completely renovated and has new owners as of November 2016. Once Upon a Tide will book fast, reserve your spot today! For additional info and pictures, please visit
