A Shore Thing - K1408

We overall had a very nice vacation with our family and two small dogs. This was our first time vacationing in Kill Devil Hills so I don’t have any other location in outer banks to compare. The location was an easy drive to most things we wanted to experience. Easy drive and parking to beach access at Awful Arthur’s. The fenced in yard was great for our dogs. The house was spacious with 4 Br/3ba. Our teenage boys enjoyed the hot tub. However, The hot tub guy showed up on Monday to do maintenance without any notice and we were gone and our teenage sons were there alone. Also The chlorine dispenser that floats in the tub had the chlorine tablets falling out the bottom into the water the entire week we were there. The bottom screw cap would not stay on. Needs fixing so not sure what the hot tub guy did. The house was overall pretty dirty. Granola crumbs all over nightstand and in the bedding of downstairs Queen bedroom. Master king bedroom cold water faucet so tight you can barely turn it. The fan so wobbly and loud we couldn’t use it. Highway noise very loud and not what I prefer to hear. The red couch in living room is broke and appears to have no support. I probably would try a location in a quieter location for our next vacation to outer banks.

Great location

A Shore Thing met all of our needs for a wonderful OBX vacation! Morning coffee on the screened porch, fenced yard for the dog, hot tub were favorites. When we weren't at the beach or having a meal out, the home was comfy and clean. The home is close to Croatan Highway so be careful with kids and pets. The walk to the beach was easy for us or you can drive to public parking and have a much shorter walk very easily. Definitely would recommend booking with Beach Realty. Everyone I spoke with was very helpful and friendly!

We loved A Shore Thing in KDH! We have always stayed in Buxton and while we love it there, we spent alot of time driving. The house was very nice with a short walk to the beach and the fishing pier. The backyard for the dogs was smaller than expected but served it's purpose to let our puppies get out and run their zoomies out. There is noise from the traffic but sitting on the porch and enjoying the breeze made us forget all about the traffic. On a clear day you can see the ocean from the porch. We all loved the house and would definitely stay again!

So cute & cozy. It was clean, it was spacious, everything worked just as it should and all furniture/beds were comfortable. The hot tub was relaxing & clean and I loved being so close to everything. When we come back again, we would love to stay at this property again!

The house was very spacious for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The fenced in yard was nice for dogs to run around. Only change would be to have stairs off of back deck to the yard. Only bad thing would be cleanness of the house. Floors were not vacuum and bathrooms not cleaned. The house is close to alot of things including the avalon pier and awful athurs which we walk to several times. Also the house has keyless entry which is nice to not keep up with a key. Would definitely recommend staying again but need new cleaning service.

We had a fantastic trip. The house was great. Only disappointment was that we could not get the propane grill to work. May need to have someone look at it.

House was great for our entire family. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the hot tub! Loved the covered porch during rain time.

My family stayed at A Shore Thing the week of 7/18/20. The house met all our needs and was perfect layout for our large family. We had 4 adults and 4 children with us and all had our own space if needed. It’s just a quick bike ride to the beach access and the kids loved fishing on the Avalon pier at night. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Our stay was great, we had 8 people and everyone slept comfortably. The only problem we had was the ad said that the house was only 100 yards from the beach, we measured it when we drove our stuff to the beach it was almost half of a mile. But it ended up not being bad with public parking right across the street from the beach.

Close walk to the beach-about 3 blocks-5 minutes . It’s a house so it had the usual minor house issues. (One toilet ran, one sink drain, dryer vent was off-we fixed that, one set of towels that was wrapped up and supposed to be fresh and clean was REALLY dirty-the other 9 were fine) ��‍♀️ None of these things bothered me but did some others in my party. Air conditioning worked very well. Hot tub worked. I’ve maker worked. I would stay here again. Good location and close to beach!

Our arrival was delayed by Hurricane Dorian, but we still had a great time and even better weather. The house was in a great location! We could walk to the beach, Avalon Pier, and Awful Arthur's.

We were pleased with the the rental. We had 3 small children and even though the house was not that close to the beach, we parked across from Awful Arthur's which is public parking and walked to the beach.

It was a lovely visit, the cottage was well stocked and everything was very clean. We only wish there was a more direct route to walk to the beach, we had to walk down to 5th street were K-mart is and go across..... instead of walking directly straight to the beach.

We had a very nice time. The house is within walking distance to the beach access, but rather close to the main road which made for a noisy time on the porch and we had small children with us so farther from the road would have been better for us. The layout of the house was perfect for us - grandparents on the upper level and the kids and grandkids on the lower level.

Very nice rental. For 10 people the kitchen could have been bigger. However, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Will most definitely rent again.

Nice house with a fenced yard for our little pooch! Close to shopping and restaurants. Near the pier if you like to fish. A great time was had by all!!

Most everything about this house is wonderful. There were a couple things I was not happy with. Whatever chemical is used to clean the microwave, fridge/freezer was so awful smelling, we had to wipe out everything before we put food in everything. Even after we cleaned the ice-maker out, the ice still smelled like that awful chemical. My opinion is not to use it anymore. Also, in the advertisement it said it had a Jacuzzi tub, which it did not. There was still dog hair on the couch from whoever stayed there before. So I would say that the cleaning crew did not clean very well before we got there.

This is a great location in Kitty Hawk. It is close to the beach (you do not have to cross the main road to reach) and the Avalon Fishing Pier. It is located close to the local attractions, such as the Wright Brothers Museum. A grocery store and general shopping store is just down the street within five minutes.

Great week at the beach.

A Shore Thing was centrally located in Kill Devil Hills, which afforded easy access to stores and activities. Most importantly the Beach and Avalon Pier was a short walk.

The house was nice and clean. Although we were told that the house clean, we had to wait quite a while for the "inspector" to do her job. When we arrived at the house and were unpacking the inspector showed up and asked if we wanted to do a walk through to make sure everything looked ok. By then there was sand in the house and bathrooms had been used, pointless to do a "walk through" at this point. My husband and I picked this house over a few others because of the hottub and indoor Jacuzzi that was listed on the amenities. To our disappointment there was no indoor Jacuzzi. When we called the rental office to find out what happened they asked if we had checked all the tubs because maybe we missed it. Then the lady advised they would check into it. This was our "honeymoon" as we didn't have one when we married a year ago. Very disappointed. Despite these things the house itself was very comfortable, not too big or small. We had 8 people staying at the house. Service repairman had to be called for the AC unit and he was prompt and fixed the problem quickly.

Overall great stay! Some notes:
Advertised as queen beds, but they were smaller (double?) beds. Backyard for dog, but our dog couldn't spend any time running around back there because of all the sandspurs so that wasn't worth it. Location was good - short walk to beach (10 min). Great amenities in house - hot tub, fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, nice common space for all of us to hang out.
