Once Upon a Tide - 2BR/2BA 1st Floor! Pet Friendly

Welcome to 'Once Upon a Tide' Beautiful 2BR/2BA First Floor condo in Waterside Village! Largest pool in town!

King in the master, set of two twin sized bunks in the 2nd bedroom and queen sleeper sofa in living room. Sleeps 8 (6 adults MAX)

Have a larger family group? Located right next door is “Shore Beats Work” Unit 110, which accommodates up to 4 more guests. Inquiry for details on booking both units for your family vacation!

Family & pet-friendly condo. Located in a gated community located on the West End of Mexico Beach, Waterside Village Condo 109's private balcony offers admirable views of the gorgeous, zero-entry community pool and hot tub, which sits on the bank of the canal and neighboring cottage-style houses.

The stylish living room has an inviting sofa right in front of a flat screen TV with cable; so, kick your feet up or enjoy movie night on the queen-sized sleeper sofa. Or, if you are in the mood for a refreshing time, the outdoor features of Waterside Village add just the right touch to make any vacation laid back and enjoyable. Around the pool are lounging chairs, outdoor dining space, park side grills, and boardwalks.

Show off your cooking skills in the well-equipped kitchen! It has everything you need to prepare tasty meals and snacks for the group, including a brand-new refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The duo Keurig/Regular coffee maker is a nice addition, especially for coffee enthusiasts. The dining table seats six comfortably, and there are four extra stools at the breakfast bar. You can also conveniently wash your swimsuits in the private laundry room tucked behind a door!

The main bedroom enjoys partial canal views and a spacious ensuite bathroom with a shower and double vanity. Hang clothes and store luggage in the master bedroom walk-in closet, which is equipped with a pack-n-play and highchair for your convenience. The guest bedroom has two sets of twin sized bunk beds, smart TV, and closet. There is another full bathroom in the hallway

The beach is just a short walk away. Grab the wagon and walk down one-block for a day at the beach with two provided beach chairs, then come back up to let the kids play in the pool while grilling hamburgers for an evening cookout.

This unit was gutted and professionally remediated, has been COMPLETELY REBUILT from top to bottom after the storm with new EVERYTHING! New wiring, plumbing, flooring, painting, windows, doors, cabinets, countertops, etc.

Mexico Beach truly lives up to its name. Seven miles of pristine sugar-soft sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico are among the finest in the United States. Sheltered by the long arm of the St. Joseph Peninsula, Mexico Beach is known as "the surf with no undertow". The whole family can swim, wade, snorkel, find that special seashell, or just let the white sand squeak underfoot. When you are in Mexico Beach, you are always within walking distance of the beach. Fish from our community pier or surf cast the emerald green shoreline. Try an offshore charter fishing trip and let one of our local Captains whisk you to prime fishing spots just minutes from shore on one of the many MBARA reef systems.

Amazing condo close to the beach!

We loved our stay here! We had everything we needed and the amenities of the pool, hot tub, porch with grill, washer/dryer were great! We loved there was a beach wagon and umbrella available for us to use. The bathrooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. We will definitely be staying here again!

Nice place to stay

This was a great apartment/condo to stay in. My daughters and I met up with an old friend and her children. Having the beach just 5 min away and the pool available was great!

Other than one bad day of weather , we had a fantastic time .

We cant wait to stay here again. It was a perfect place for us and we have no complaints whatsoever with any part of our experience. In fact we are hoping to be able to come back again at the end of the summer season. If someone is looking for a quiet somewhat secluded beach to take a family vacation away from the typical over developed beach front madness, do not hesitate to book here.

New Favorite Spot

The condo was absolutely gorgeous, spacious for the whole family and very clean with all described amenities and more. Loved being on the first floor and very close to the pool and beach access directly across the street. We will most certainly be back!

Great little Condo

Condo was decorated perfectly. The cleaning people just need to clean under the kitchen cabinets and baseboards through out the condo. I run a cleaning business at home so I maybe a little critical.

What an AMAZING week!

Our week staying at “”Once Upon a Tide” was nothing short of wonderful! This unit is immaculate and has every amenity you would ever hope to find in a rental. Very easy walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to the pool and hot tub! You’re on the bottom floor, so no stairs or elevators! The perfect set up for young children too…a pack & play, wagon, pool & beach toys all available. The wagon made getting to the beach so much easier and not having to haul chairs from home was a bonus! I can’t brag on this place enough! We will definitely be back!

Adorable and comfortable condo!

We looked for an affordable beach place for a last minutes trip with the kids before school. We almost gave up until finding this gem. It has everything! Pool, beach, beautiful and comfortable decor. We loved it. Just this right size for a 3 night trip with teenagers. 😆. It was thoughtfully furnished and had plenty of helpful things like paper towels, toilet paper, detergent, extra pillows and blankets. The management company was kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful, comfortable, and very relaxing!

We had the best stay at Mexico Beach, at the "Beach Baby" condo with Shoreline Rentals! The actual beach was beautiful - clean, white sand, and we are Shell Seekers and were not disappointed! The water was so clear and refreshing as well! We were able to take long walks so snuck in a bit of exercise a couple of times a day - good thing because there was so much good food around to eat! It was the perfect combination! The condo itself was in a great location, very clean, and super comfortable - great use of space, nice comfortable king-size bed, cute kitchen, nice little porch, all amenities were taken care of, and then... the pool! Highly recommend the property and the property management company - they are top notch!

Exactly right

This property was exactly what we wanted and needed. Small things matter. Even though the list given reminded us to bring daily essentials for our 7 day stay bc the owner was providing enough for a typical long weekend, everything was plentiful and lovely. We cook at “home” during most of our vacations and the kitchen was one of the best stocked in the way of quality pots, pans, and dishes. So very happy. The mattresses are next level. We all slept so well and there were plenty of pillows. The furniture was so comfy to curl up in watch movies or hours and hours of March madness. Access to the pool deck was easy and very nice. The walk to the beach was easy for us. All in all, we loved it.

Beautiful, Comfy, and Close to the Beach!

We loved our stay! The condo was so clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed and then some! We enjoyed being able to pull right up to the door - no stairs or elevator needed. Very short walk to the beach. We loved the hot tub and pool area, too! Will definitely return!
