Beautiful home. It was perfect for what we needed for a girls 40th weekend. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best to enjoy the beach, but the house was set up perfectly for a lot of indoor card games and laughs.

Had a wonderful time with six friends that have been friends for 40 years, all growing up on the rocky north shore of Long Island. It was the perfect setting for such a reunion. We cooked together, walked the beach and watched the sunset on the beautiful deck. Comfortable beds and plenty of space. Peaceful and private. Highly recommend.

We had an incredibly special time on our visit to Once Upon a Tide. There were 9 of us ranging from 2 to 92 (and a dog) and we all fit comfortably in the “unique” sleeping arrangements. It worked great! My 92 m-in-l could sit at the end of the deck under an umbrella and watch her children/grandchildren/great grandchildren play at the beach just below! The paddle board and kayaks were great fun, as well. Beautiful sunsets each night! Great communication with host, as well.

The house was perfectly placed at the beach-we all loved the open concept and views from the main living room. House was clean and comfortable for my family of 6 and to have guests as well. There is adequate dishes and utensils. There were a few hiccups; luckily there was a door left unlocked, because we could not figure out the lock box and how to get into the home. We did run out of propane for the grill a few days into the vacation, with no replacement tank. We tried communicating with luxury beach, but got no response. Maybe there should be a “service” number to get an immediate response…I’m not sure what we would have done had there been some sort of emergency. Overall a great experience!

The location of this beach rental is unbeatable. Seeing the water from every window of the living room was a treat, and being able to walk just a few steps down to the beach was convenient, especially with little ones. The bedroom layout downstairs is a bit quirky but the spacious living area was a wonderful gathering place for our family. Debbie, one of the managers, was great to work with — quick to respond and address any issues, friendly and kind, and really fun to get to know. Our family all agreed this was our best beach rental yet, and we look forward to returning again.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Once Upon a Tide. We were a family of nine had plenty of space to sleep, ear, play games and hang out. We were lucky as the weather forecast was not good for our stay but we had sunny days and a little rain. We used the kayaks and paddle boards many times each day. We enjoyed the quiet beach and deck. The views from the house are beautiful. The sunsets were gorgeous and our last night there was a storm late at night with magnificent lightening over the water. We turned off alll the lights and watched it. The beds were comfortable and there was everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Spending time at this house makes me want a beach house of our own. We hope to return next year.

This house is beautifully designed, with breathtaking sound views. A rustic and elegant interior that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the area. The furniture and decor are both stylish and comfortable, and boy – that fireplace!!
Being right on the beach, you can step outside and be on the sand in seconds. Can’t ask for a better location.
The house is also incredibly clean and well-maintained. The owners take great pride in their property, ensuring that everything is sparkling clean and comfortable for guests. The bathrooms are immaculate, and the beds are freshly made.
A perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Amazing location. Walk right down onto the beach from the deck. Stunning views from the living room. Definitely a lived in, beach shack (some updates/maintenance would be nice), that was wonderful for the family. Even though it was cold for most of our visit the kids couldn’t get enough of the beach. And down the road, also on the beach, was a beach playground. Across the street from the playground was a top tier restaurant, La Plage. Excellent food and wine list.
Very friendly community and responsive property managers.
Overall a great trip. Highly recommend.

Once Upon a Tide is most definitely a true beach house. High tide was literally 20 feet from the deck. We had booked a different property from Debbie and Virginia which doesn’t have heat. That normally wouldn’t have been a problem but the forecast for our stay was calling for 30 degree nights which was unusual for the time of year. The ladies contacted us and upgraded us to a beautiful 4 bedroom house for the same price. The view was amazing! They weren’t kidding when they said that all you’d need was food and clothes. The kitchen was well stocked for all your cooking needs. The house was clean and the master bed was a new looking Tempurpedic……very comfortable. They even offered to extend our stay for a reduced rate but we declined because I had to return to work the following day. All said, our stay was a blast and you won’t regret your stay at one of Virginia and Debbie’s properties. Enjoy!

Our families gathered for a week at this rental in Wading River and had a great time. This trip was the week before Christmas, so the normal summer beach activities weren’t experienced, but the beach and water atmosphere is why we choose this house and it delivered. Knowing it would be cold, our plans were to be able to gather around the fire place and enjoy the great views while watching movies at night and eating meals together. This house worked out perfectly. There was nine of us with plenty of room for sleeping, cooking meals, watching movies and just spending time together. The house is not some fancy modern place of today, but more of homey cabin feel, which was also expected and welcomed. The property management ladies were easy to work with while planning the reservation and always available for questions or help. We were able to enjoy a couple of very nice long walks along the beach. Everything was provided for our stay from linen to kitchen utensils. A few of the mattresses could use an updating, but overall, we were very happy with this property. We talked abut maybe returning one summer. Thanks

The SHop and Stop nearby was fantastic with a very large selection of organic produce and a good seafood and bakery department. The house was very clean, everything worked great including the dishwasher, washing machines, TV and BBQ. This place is great for a large family or a close group of friends.

This is my 5th year staying at one of the properties of Luxury Beach Getaway. I stayed in 3 different houses, each one offers something special. This house has historical significance. It’s a round house that was once a Buckminster Fuller Geodesic dome. Now it is an updated round house with panoramic views. Lots of rooms, and as usual peaceful and relaxing. There are so many wonderful things to do. Ginny and Deb accommodate your needs and are the best.

We didn’t even unpack our own beach toys because new ones are always more fun than old ones!

Between myself, and family we have rented a total of 7 homes over 4 years from Debbie and Virginia and they have all been fantastic and this year was no exception. The ladies are always easy to talk to and deal with and are quick to respond to anything you need. This was our first year in this particular home and it is a great space. The building has a unique shape and history which makes for fun nooks and rooms throughout. There is space for your group to gather together and plenty of space to have time alone, or in smaller groups. The extensive decking opens out to a wonderful stretch of rocky beach that is never crowded. I think we saw a grand total of 5 people on the beach in 7 days.I don’t hesitate to recommend both this house and Debbie and Virginia!

Our rental home Once Upon a Tide afforded us a fabulous ocean front view for daily swims and kayaks. We loved the big quirky house and large kitchen. Everything we needed was there, and if not the terrific managers are there instantly. Debbie and Ginny provide fantastic, pleasant and instant remedy for any problem. You would be lucky to rent from them, they are experienced and helpful rental managers.

There are 3 bedrooms and an extra room that has a folding door but no space to shut it. There are no views in the rooms downstairs. Two have a deck built over them.
The main floor is perfect! All 8 of us loved it. Very comfortable set up. The furniture is perfect for the cottage. The deck is homey and great for dinners together. Although there are a few negatives it is a wonderful TRUE beach cottage.

Great beach house! The host, Ginny, was quick to respond and was very kind. Lots of space in the house for our group of six. Lovely beach right outside the door. I would recommend this spot to anyone! Great kitchen which was very well stocked.

We had an incredibly special time on our visit to Once Upon a Tide. There were 9 of us ranging from 2 to 92 (and a dog) and we all fit comfortably in the “unique” sleeping arrangements. It worked great! My 92 m-in-l could sit at the end of the deck under an umbrella and watch her children/grandchildren/great grandchildren play at the beach just below! The paddle board and kayaks were great fun, as well. Beautiful sunsets each night! Great communication with host, as well.

The house was perfectly placed at the beach-we all loved the open concept and views from the main living room. House was clean and comfortable for my family of 6 and to have guests as well. There is adequate dishes and utensils. There were a few hiccups; luckily there was a door left unlocked, because we could not figure out the lock box and how to get into the home. We did run out of propane for the grill a few days into the vacation, with no replacement tank. We tried communicating with luxury beach, but got no response. Maybe there should be a “service” number to get an immediate response...I’m not sure what we would have done had there been some sort of emergency. Overall a great experience!

Seeing the water from every window of the living room was a treat, and being able to walk just a few steps down to the beach was convenient, especially with little ones. The bedroom layout downstairs is a bit quirky but the spacious living area was a wonderful gathering place for our family. Debbie, one of the managers, was great to work with -- quick to respond and address any issues, friendly and kind, and really fun to get to know. Our family all agreed this was our best beach rental yet, and we look forward to returning again.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Once Upon a Tide. We were a family of nine had plenty of space to sleep, ear, play games and hang out. We were lucky as the weather forecast was not good for our stay but we had sunny days and a little rain. We used the kayaks and paddle boards many times each day. We enjoyed the quiet beach and deck. The views from the house are beautiful. The sunsets were gorgeous and our last night there was a storm late at night with magnificent lightening over the water. We turned off alll the lights and watched it. The beds were comfortable and there was everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Spending time at this house makes me want a beach house of our own. We hope to return next year.

Amazing location. Walk right down onto the beach from the deck. Stunning views from the living room. Definitely a lived in, beach shack (some updates/maintenance would be nice), that was wonderful for the family. Even though it was cold for most of our visit the kids couldn’t get enough of the beach. And down the road, also on the beach, was a beach playground. Across the street from the playground was a top tier restaurant, La Plage. Excellent food and wine list.
Very friendly community and responsive property managers.
Overall a great trip. Highly recommend.

Once Upon a Tide is most definitely a true beach house. High tide was literally 20 feet from the deck. We had booked a different property from Debbie and Virginia which doesn't have heat. That normally wouldn't have been a problem but the forecast for our stay was calling for 30 degree nights which was unusual for the time of year. The ladies contacted us and upgraded us to a beautiful 4 bedroom house for the same price. The view was amazing! They weren't kidding when they said that all you'd need was food and clothes. The kitchen was well stocked for all your cooking needs. The house was clean and the master bed was a new looking Tempurpedic......very comfortable. They even offered to extend our stay for a reduced rate but we declined because I had to return to work the following day. All said, our stay was a blast and you won't regret your stay at one of Virginia and Debbie's properties. Enjoy!

Our families gathered for a week at this rental in Wading River and had a great time. This trip was the week before Christmas, so the normal summer beach activities weren’t experienced, but the beach and water atmosphere is why we choose this house and it delivered. Knowing it would be cold, our plans were to be able to gather around the fire place and enjoy the great views while watching movies at night and eating meals together. This house worked out perfectly. There was nine of us with plenty of room for sleeping, cooking meals, watching movies and just spending time together. The house is not some fancy modern place of today, but more of homey cabin feel, which was also expected and welcomed. The property management ladies were easy to work with while planning the reservation and always available for questions or help. We were able to enjoy a couple of very nice long walks along the beach. Everything was provided for our stay from linen to kitchen utensils. A few of the mattresses could use an updating, but overall, we were very happy with this property. We talked abut maybe returning one summer. Thanks

Between myself, and family we have rented a total of 7 homes over 4 years from Debbie and Virginia and they have all been fantastic and this year was no exception. The ladies are always easy to talk to and deal with and are quick to respond to anything you need. This was our first year in this particular home and it is a great space. The building has a unique shape and history which makes for fun nooks and rooms throughout. There is space for your group to gather together and plenty of space to have time alone, or in smaller groups. The extensive decking opens out to a wonderful stretch of rocky beach that is never crowded. I think we saw a grand total of 5 people on the beach in 7 days.I don't hesitate to recommend both this house and Debbie and Virginia!

You would be lucky to rent from them, they are experienced and helpful rental managers.

There are 3 bedrooms and an extra room that has a folding door but no space to shut it. There are no views in the rooms downstairs. Two have a deck built over them.
The main floor is perfect! All 8 of us loved it. Very comfortable set up. The furniture is perfect for the cottage. The deck is homey and great for dinners together. Although there are a few negatives it is a wonderful TRUE beach cottage.

Great beach house! The host, Ginny, was quick to respond and was very kind. Lots of space in the house for our group of six. Lovely beach right outside the door. I would recommend this spot to anyone! Great kitchen which was very well stocked.

I love vacationing on the North Fork. The water is so calm, perfect for my young children. The house was amazing and so much more convient than renting multiple hotel rooms...
