Once Upon a Tide Waterfront Home w/ Dock, Kayaks & Private Hot Tub

• 
  Slide into the hot tub as the canal drifts by behind the trees — jets on, stars out, day officially over.
• 
  Grab a seat at the end of the dock and watch the water go still — this is where mornings slow all the way down.
• 
  Cook shoulder-to-shoulder under the vaulted ceilings while the island fills up with everyone's plates — this kitchen was built for a crowd.
• 
  Watch the kids disappear into their own little 'Beach House' in the yard while the grown-ups reclaim the porch for an hour.
• 
  Close the door on the day and let the king bed do the rest — pull out the extra sleeper if the crew needs one more spot.
• 
  Look up and you'll know exactly whose house this is — the little lighthouse banner that welcomes you home.
• 
  Pull into the driveway and you're already home — plenty of room for everyone's cars and a porch made for hellos.
• 
  Step around back and the whole yard opens up — string lights already strung for tonight.
• 
  Stay outside after sundown — the cafe lights click on over the yard and nobody wants to go back in.
• 
  Watch for deer after dark — they wander through this yard most nights, no invitation needed.
• 
• 
  Carry your coffee out to the rail and watch the canal wake up before anyone else in the house does.
• 
  Let the kids soak the turf with the sprinkler — this yard was made for exactly that.
• 
  Set the table right out here — real plates, the fence and the water as your backdrop.
• 
  Bring lunch out here — sandwiches, lemonade, something stronger for the adults — the gazebo view does the rest.
• 
  Rinse the sand off before you even walk in the door — no tracking beach into the house on this trip.
• 
  Walk the dock right as the light turns gold and the whole canal goes quiet for you.
• 
  Look past your own backyard for this view — still water, bare branches, somebody's porch light across the way.
• 
  Watch for pontoons puttering by — the canal is a whole neighborhood of its own out here.
• 
  Watch the sky go pastel over the water — every house along this canal gets a front-row seat, yours included.
• 
  Let the kids cast a line right off the dock — no boat, no license, just bait and wait.
• 
• 
  Push off from your own backyard and paddle straight into 24 miles of canal — no car, no launch fee, just go.
• 
  Point the kayak wherever you want — the dock's right there waiting when you're ready to come back in.
• 
  Grab a kayak straight out of the garage — no rental counter, no waiting, just paddles and go.
• 
  Let the little ones wade in the shallows — the beach is close enough to make it a spur-of-the-moment trip.
• 
  Get up early for this beach if you can — empty sand, rolling waves, all yours for a while.
• 
  Bring a kite down to the beach and let the wind do the entertaining for an afternoon.
• 
  Wander over to Seabrook for ice cream and a look around the shops — it's an easy trip from the house.
• 
  Head to Oyhut when you want string lights and a patio dinner without cooking yourselves.
• 
  End the night at Oyhut Grill — a few minutes away and worth the short drive for dinner out.
• 
  Gather everyone on the sectional — this is where the group actually ends up every single evening.
• 
• 
  Stay in the conversation from the couch — the sightline straight to the island means nobody's ever left out while dinner's cooking.
• 
  Start the fireplace and queue up a movie — let the skylights carry you straight through to bedtime.
• 
  Pull up a chair for eight — this table is built for the whole group to eat together, no kids' table required.
• 
  Watch the canal light up outside the glass while you finish dinner — the houses across the water do their part.
• 
  Close the door, flip on the TV, and let the primary suite be just yours for the night.
• 
  Load the kids into their own bunk room — top bunk optional, sleep guaranteed.
• 
  Put the kids to bed under the bicycle mural — built for the ones who'd rather be outside all day.
• 
  Wake up here to the same easy morning light — towels already staged so nobody's hunting for one.
• 
  Wake up in this room and the first thing you see out the window is the dock and the water.
• 
  Let the afternoon sun pour in here — the canal view follows you right up to the pillow.
• 
• 
  Get ready together at the double vanity — plenty of counter for two people racing out the door.
• 
  Run the soaking tub after a full day outside and let the oversized shower handle the sand rinse-off.
• 
  Skip the line — the kids get their own bathroom, one less thing to wait for before dinner.
• 
  Walk in at ground level with high ceilings and light pouring in — no stairs to haul luggage up on arrival.
• 
  Run a load mid-vacation — the oversized washer and dryer mean nobody's packing dirty clothes home.
• 
  Sink into this corner with a book while the sliding door frames the canal just past the fence.
• 
  Queue up your playlist on the portable speaker and let this corner become your spot for the week.
• 
  Cook a real dinner on the gas range — the Dutch ovens are already sitting there waiting to be used.
• 
  Find a little welcome waiting on the counter — popcorn and candy for the first night before you've even unpacked.
• 
  Pull up a seat at this table built for eight — plenty of room for the whole group to eat together.
• 
• 
  Get the little ones settled under the string lights — bunk-room bedtime doesn't feel like a fight here.
• 
  Find fresh towels already folded and waiting — one less thing to pack for this trip.
• 
  Grab a towel without asking — they're stocked and stacked throughout the house.
• 
  Run a hot bath in the deep soaking tub and let the rest of the trip wait outside that door.
• 
  Try the heated bidet controls — wash, dry, and a night-light for the 2am wake-ups.
• 
  Take the hint on the wall — campfires and s'mores are basically the house rules here.
• 
  Take note of little touches like this antique clock — the whole house is decorated with a story in mind.
• 
  Pick up the Ocean Shores history book on the shelf and learn the story of the town you're staying in.
• 
  Study the floor plan before you book so everyone already knows which room is theirs.

Step inside to high ceilings, skylights, and walls of windows flooding the open-concept living area with light. The living room centers on a plush gray sectional angled toward a wall-mounted TV above a teal tiled fireplace — the spot for game nights and lazy afternoons. A reading nook with a leather armchair sits beside the sliding glass door, so you can watch the canal ripple by while streaming music on the portable Bluetooth speaker.

The kitchen is a real cook's kitchen: a commercial-grade 6-burner gas range, stainless oven, dishwasher, rice maker, drip coffee maker, and a fully stocked cabinet of cooking basics and dishes. The quartz island and dining table — which extends to seat 8 — make a big group breakfast or a taco bar easy before everyone scatters to the dock.

The primary suite feels like a private escape: a king Tempur-Pedic bed, wall-mounted TV, and a convertible leather daybed that folds out for an 8th guest. The spa-style ensuite is genuinely special — dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, an oversized glass shower, radiant heated floors, a towel warmer, and a heated bidet toilet. This is the room parents fight over.

The bunk room sleeps kids and kids-at-heart, queen on the bottom and twin above, its own 50-inch TV, and playful coastal decor. The third bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed with canal views. A second full bath — glass shower, quartz counters, matching tile — serves both rooms.

Practical extras: an in-unit washer and dryer, a dedicated workspace, central heat and air, and a garage stocked with foosball, darts, cornhole, and the property's kayaks. A fully fenced backyard lets kids and pets run free, and the private dock and hot tub anchor long evenings by the water.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR

Multi-generational families will find this home effortless — three real bedrooms, two full baths, a fenced yard, and a garage full of games mean nobody is stuck entertaining themselves. We've hosted groups spanning a 3-year-old to a 75-year-old comfortably under one roof.

Couples craving a quiet reset will love the primary suite's spa-style bath and the private dock at sunset — pour a glass of wine and let the hot tub do the rest.

Remote workers can use the dedicated workspace and Wifi by day, then be kayaking on the canal within five minutes of closing the laptop.

Anglers and paddlers get direct water access — cast a line from the dock or launch a kayak without a car.

Groups of friends wanting a beach-adjacent home base with room to spread out will find this waterfront setup checks every box.
