Wonderful Retreat Away

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at A Shore Thing. House was very comfortable and maintained well. We echo others' comments that the owners keep it very well-stocked for the travelers--- from tennis rackets for playing on the courts to ziplocks in the kitchen! Thank you for a perfect vacation.

Lovely Home

We had our extended family of 10 for spring break vacation. Something for everyone! Grandma loved the short walk to the heated pool while the pre-teens enjoyed biking in the neighborhood. Young adults could hop in the golf cart and head to the beach or the village to grab a drink and some pizza. The host was very responsive and the home was lovely. Everything as described. Great use of space in the house.
