Very nice property. Great location, well maintained, furnished and cleaned. Nice gift bag provided water, hugger and sunscreen. As a practical matter, we would have preferred a box of tissues and a 2nd roll of toilet paper. The only real negative was a listing failure. Given the time of year, I selected this property specifically for the heated pool. After arrival, I learned there was an additional $50 per day fee to actually turn the heater on.

Great place to stay
This rental was perfect for our family! The view from the covered front porch is amazing!! Mick is so friendly and was quick to answer any questions. We went to the beach in the morning and early afternoon and then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in the private pool. I highly recommend this rental and we plan to stay there again.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay here! Very clean, and the pool was great! So close to the beach. The owners are friendly and responsive. Not sure if it was the time of year we stayed or if it is always this quiet and uncrowded, but it was amazing! We hope to stay again!

Perfect Spot!
Shore Thing was the perfect spot for our family vacation this year. We fell in love with Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan many years ago and can’t imagine going anywhere else. The private pool is a must have for our 3 boys, and the beach access is quick and easy. The house was everything we had hoped for, and communication with Mick was fantastic. We have stayed in many condos and beach houses over the years, and this one is a favorite. Thank you, Mick!

The property was in a great location to the beach. The house was clean and very cozy. Having a pool to keep kids entertained after coming from the beach was a big plus as well.

This vacation home is everything you would want and more. The owner is prompt and the view is fantastic. The beach is only steps away and one of our favorite spots besides the private pool was the porch swing catching the gulf breeze every night. All I can say is it is perfect!

Clean and comfortable
Great view and proximity to the beach. My family enjoyed the rockers and swing on the front porch in the mornings, and the lounge chairs and pool on the back deck in the afternoons. I wanted to sleep with the windows open to enjoy the lulling sound of the waves at night, but I was over-ruled. My folks prefer the hum of ceiling fans. The place was impeccably clean. The furnishings were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. We hope to return for an extended stay.

Our stay was really good. We enjoyed the pool so much it was an extra charge for heating the pool but it was worth the extra money. I also loved that the kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans, pot, utensils! We would recommend a stay at Shore Thing to our family and friends.

House represented listing
We were happy with the listing. Everything was clean and the location was great. The only issue we ran into was the pool heater went out the last day of our reservation. They had a repair main out the next morning to fix the issue. We enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores.

Surprise!!!
Our elderly mother enjoyed her trip to the beach. We made it even better by surprising her with her son coming in from Texas. The house is located in a very nice area just steps from the beach. The house also has a pool for added fun! The owner is beyond helpful and quick to answer questions or concerns. We found the house very comfortable for 8 ppl and would recommend it to friends and family looking for a beach get away!

Good Private Beach House
The property was clean with a nice view of the beach/gulf. The only problem I had was of no fault to the property owner, but his heater for the pool broke the day before I came. As soon as he noticed he immeadiately called, texted, and emailed me to let me know of the issue and immeadiately refunded me the cost of heating the pool. This is a great place to stay and would love to stay there again.

Amazing location!
The house was overall amazing. The location was the best part. It was away from all of the big condos so the beach was nice and quiet with not a lot of people. It was just a short drive to any restaurant or store. The kids LOVED the pool. The beach can be seen from the front porch AND the pool deck and is just a short walk away.
