Great Spacious Getaway for Large Groups with Great Host!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making it ideal for our large group. The location was convenient, and the outdoor space was a great bonus. The property owner was extremely polite, responsive, and reasonable to deal with, which made the entire experience even better. Highly recommend A Shore Thing for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Very nice. Only problem was that I mistakenly thought that it would be ADA compliant because it had an elevator. As I said, it was my mistake and we worked around it.

Perfect vacation…. Awesome home!

This home is beautiful and fully stocked, comfortable beds, loads of kitchen supplies and right next door to the community pool. We rented a couple golf carts to run around in and so happy this community has access for them from the beach. We loved all the different sleeping areas and especially how clean the home was!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us. The littles especially loved the room at the top. Short walk to the beach was a plus. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
