Along the palm-lined sweep of Scenic Gulf Drive, Once Upon a Tide occupies a coveted front-row setting in Frangista Beach, its tiered verandas and observation tower echoing the elegance of Old Florida. From the tower's covered terrace, the view opens to the Gulf, a setting equally suited to morning coffee and a sunset toast. Spanning 4,262 square feet, the six-bedroom residence is designed to bring a houseful of guests together while giving everyone room to retreat. The main living level opens onto breezy verandas and pairs two generous seating areas with an open kitchen appointed with a six-burner gas range, dual dishwashers, and a substantial island. The primary suite shares this level, while guest suites, a dedicated bunk room, and a separate den offer room for extended stays. On the ground floor, a game room with a wet bar opens to the private pool terrace. Spend the afternoon by the pool and spa, linger over dinner beneath the covered patio, then gather around the fire pit as the evening cools. Gated neighborhood beach access puts Frangista Beach's white sands within easy reach, and access to the HOA community pool is a rare distinction among the neighborhood's front-row homes. With its front-row setting, generous accommodations, and Gulf views from the tower, Once Upon a Tide is a coastal residence made for the occasions that bring everyone back to the beach.
