Welcome to Good Tides Only

The beach-house vacation you actually pictured.

  • Six beach chairs and wagon included
  • Dog-friendly shoreline year-round

Wonderful location and amenities

We had a wonderful time. Really enjoyed the amenities like the BBQ pit, beach toys, wagon, and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with nice cookware. The beach access was convenient and very close. We had a great relaxing time.

Perfect Beach Stay!

Good Tides Only was the perfect place for our family of five. The accommodations were clean and up to date. All of our basic needs were met in a nicely organized kitchen. The beach was just steps away. The wagon and chairs provided relaxing beach days, and the outdoor showers and washer and dryer made beach clean up a breeze. I would definitely stay here again!
