On the second floor, there's a queen in the second guest room, a queen in the third guest room, and a queen with a twin-over-twin bunk in guest room 4, sleeping up to 16 guests comfortably. This stunning home also features granite counters in the kitchen and bathrooms. You'll be just 1/2 mile from the gorgeous white sands of Miramar Beach! Take the bikes and head to the beach or explore all the nearby shops. When not enjoying the beach, take a stroll to the community pool only a couple of blocks away, or use your swim spa in your backyard. Beach access is approximately 880 yards. Make your next vacation one to remember at Once Upon a Tide!
The Villas of Frangista is a quiet, gated community with cobblestone streets, a community pool, and some small ponds for the kids to fish in. Located in the heart of Miramar Beach, this community is just minutes from the sugar white sands, close to favorite local restaurants, and nearby some of the best shopping in the area. This lovely neighborhood is practically next door to the Seascape Golf Resort, which offers tee times to members of the public and has superior tennis facilities. Wander down the beach to the Whale's Tail or Surf Hut for a bite, take a dip in the lovely community pool, or catch some rays on the sugar-white beaches.

Master Bedroom: King Bed
Guest Bedroom 1: Full-over Full-over-Full Bunk Bed

Guest Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

Area Attractions:
Once Upon a Tide is located about 3 miles from the Silver Sands Outlet Centers and is convenient to both the action in Destin and Grand Boulevard Towne Center with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, and a park with pop-up fountains at its center.
Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. For the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest! Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.
If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access (by Pompano Joe's) it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!
