Other than the cleaning service, everything was great. Overall it was not cleaned well before our arrival: windows, blinds, dusty furniture, dirty bedskirt, dirt under furniture, bathroom counters not cleaned well, no dishwasher detergent or enough hand soaps, rough towels, no kitchen towels…But the location was absolutely wonderful

Beautiful beach get away

We stayed at Shore Thing for week with family. It was a gorgeous house. Plenty of room for us to have our own space. Perfect for kids and a dog. We loved the deck space and the hoses to rinse off. Open kitchen/ living room was great community space. It was like we had our own private beach. There really wasn’t anything we would change. It was a small piece of paradise and we hope to return!
