Kayla Johnson
This is our 4th year to stay here! Everything about it is absolutely perfect!! The Korandas are super accommodating and helpful! Recommend 10/10. We will be back for sure!!
Cindy
This home is absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we walked in and saw the view, we knew we had made the perfect choice for our vacation. The home is decorated beautifully, the furniture was clean and comfortable. The sectional sofa provided plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably and watch a movie after a long day on the beach. The kitchen was so spacious with plenty of room for everyone to make their lunch at the same time. The dining table also provided a great place for family board games after dinner. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and very nice en suite bathrooms. The beach was steps off the back deck and not crowded at all, which is exactly what we love. We used the grill several times and enjoyed parking our car under the house. This property exceeded our expectations in all aspects. Cannot think of one thing that wasn’t perfect! Dee was very responsive and available with any questions and provided lots of information and suggestions for lots of things to do locally. We will definitely come back again!
Cindy, it is a joy to host nice families like yours! We are so happy you enjoyed your visit and would consider returning in the future. Thank you for choosing our home for your beach vacation!
Len Poe
We just got back home from a week of vacation at Dee Koranda’s home and it is by far the best place we have ever stayed through the years up and down the panhandle! It’s everything and more than advertised, and extremely clean! Lots of room and privacy,. Thank you for hosting my family we can’t wait to book again , I’d give 10 stars if it was possible !
Oh my goodness-- 10 Stars! Thank you, Mr. Poe for your very kind words. We are so happy that your family enjoyed our home and found it to be comfortable during your stay. We would be thrilled to welcome you back next summer!

Allison
We have rented this home for the past two years and it is fabulous! The home is clean, well stocked and everyone is able to sleep in a bed! The beach is beautiful and not crowded like it is in front of condominiums. Dee is a fabulous host that will respond quickly to any questions that you may have.
Thank you Allison for your very nice comments! We are so happy you enjoyed your second visit to our beach house; it is a pleasure to share our home with nice families like yours! <3
Lisa Divine
We have stayed at this home 10 times now we love it that much! From the amazing views to the privacy of the beach yet close to everything, it's all great. You can walk down the beach to restaurants.This home has everything you need to enjoy an amazing beach vacation. It's so convenient and easy for us to get our kayaks to the water and enjoy fishing or just playing with the dolphins. We come back every year and sometimes twice a year. Owners are quick to respond to any questions. We will be returning for years to come!!!!
Lisa, You guys definitely win our Most Frequent return visitors award, but I didn't realize it was 10 times already-- time flies! Thanks for the nice review, and as always we look forward to hearing from you each year. Dee
Donna
Our family stayed for a week last June and are coming back in July for another week. The home is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. We especially love the living area where all of us can hang comfortably. We have 6 adults and a teenager. Gorgeous white sand beach, crystal clear water and beautiful views from two decks. You can't go wrong with this beautiful property.
The Rudolph Family
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Once Upon a Tide! It is absolutely beautiful, and it was so nice not being on a crowded beach. We were the only ones on the beach in front of the house for the entire week. The house was welcoming and comfortable, and the care and attention to detail to accommodate guests was much appreciated. I completely agree with other reviews that Dee is a delightful and accommodating person to work with in every regard. Hopefully, we’ll have the opportunity to come back for a future stay!
Gary A Dorland
My wife and I have been going to Florida panhandle locations for decades, so we have many experiences to draw upon. So believe us when we say that you won't do better than "Once Upon a Tide." It's in a great location, with a great beach and the house is everything you would want. The house is kept in wonderful condition and the amenities are exactly what anyone needs. And let me be quick to add that Dee is a delightful and accommodating person to work with in every regard. Finally, if you are concerned about COVID exposure, this place is your answer. Even in early July, the beach in front of the house was nearly "private" and social distancing was no problem. Book it, and have a great family time.
Gary, we are so happy that you enjoyed our home and felt safe here to enjoy precious family time on the beautiful beach! It was a pleasure to share our home with you and we hope to hear from you again in the future. Take Care--
Janet Howell
We loved this house and the owner was super sweet with emails and text! Private beach, plenty of room and oooh the beach was wonderful! We made some wonderful family memories here and will be back!
The Walkers Family
This home was absolutely stunning! From the views, to the sunset to the short walk to the beach! It’s everything we could have dreamed of. Dee was super excellent and truly cares about your stay. Thank you for allowing our family to make amazing memories.
Thank you Terry for your kind words— We truly do enjoy hearing that our guests enjoyed their stay in our home. Your week is being held for you next summer. 😎
Cindy
We have had a great time staying at your house last week. We spent most of our time on the decks enjoying the ocean / beach. We have stayed in several areas of the panhandle, but this was our first trip to the Perdido Key area, and the five of us really enjoyed it. The serenity of this beach front home was awesome. Thanks for the hospitality. Your house is very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week. We will definitely be back.
Hi Cindy, thanks for your kind words! We are thrilled that you all enjoyed your week at our home and we would be happy to welcome you again. Please keep in touch--- Dee
Jacob McMurtry
My family has stayed up and down the gulf coast, but this place has by far been our favorite stay. The house was immaculate when we arrived. The views are fantastic and the beach is very private - we rarely saw anyone even walking the beach in front of the house. Close enough to several markets and restaurants. We took a quick trip to Gulf Shores for some things to do with the kiddos like Go-Carts (I recommend "The Track"). We also used "Littleheads Kayak Rental" which is right up the road from the house on the bay. I highly suggest this to anyone vacationing here, as we were able to kayak out to 4 different islands. One of the main highlights of our trip. Dee was so helpful right from the first phone call. Professional and very friendly. She made us feel very welcome at her home and supplied us with a TON of information about the area. I look forward to renting from her again in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
Jacob, thank you for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure to share our home with your sweet family. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your week and made lasting family memories! We would be happy to have you return for your next vacation to 🖠lovely Perdido Key.
