Once Upon a Tide is a charming century home steps away from Lake Erie in the historic Chautauqua community of Lakeside, Ohio. Whether you're seeking slow mornings on the porch, days by the lake, or evenings under starry skies, this is your storybook getaway.

This is a two-story, two-kitchen, three-bathroom, four-bedroom home with heat and AC, with one of the best locations in Lakeside. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms (bedroom 1 with a queen and bedroom 2 with a double) with full baths, and upstairs are the bonus kitchen and sitting room, with two additional bedrooms (bedroom 3 has a double and two twin beds, and bedroom 4 has one queen) and one full bathroom.

Outside is a covered porch with a table and an umbrella, seating for six, and extra seating. The grill is by the back door and easily accessible to both the kitchen and the outdoor table. The garden blooms from mid-May to late September, with "taller than you" sunflowers sprouting up mid-July.

In the summer, you can enjoy the cool atmosphere inside, perfect for unwinding after a day of swimming, boating, shuffleboard, miniature golf, or reading on the cozy porch. This soothing retreat offers a phenomenal blend of comfort and style, ensuring guests feel right at home.
