Lovely, spacious home with great amenities & attention to detail. Our family of originally 5, now grown to14, has enjoyed BHI vacations for 32 years. This house & all interactions with owners definitely 5 STARS! Great location another bonus. Love love love this house & John & Annmarie. Would definitely rent again. Absolutely everything we needed from ample hot water for so many people to great A/C to state of the art kitchen appliances & gadgets. Beach chairs & toys & bikes too. Spotlessly clean. Kids bunk room was so fun for our “littles” with parents’ bedroom close by. Two masters, 1up/1 down was great. Oh & almost forgot !THE PORCHES!

My we filled all the rooms with family members . Everything was perfect ! Spices - pots and pans that are all in excellent condition to use ! to help us cook a nice meal - Fantastic refrigerator - Thermidor cook top ! Loved it The jacuzzi bathtubs ! We did not need them yet but great to know ! two cribs ! The couches and furniture bathrooms - impeccably clean ! Within walking distance to the beach ! We will be back

We had so much fun reconnecting with family from all over east coast. It was our first trip to BHI. Can’t wait to plan another trip! This home has such comfy beds, linens and an amazing kitchen. Weather was too cold but outdoor porches look amazing!

We loved our stay at A Shore Thing. The home was beautiful, clean, and spacious for all 4 families.. John and Annemarie were extremely helpful, as this was our first big family trip to Bald Head. Thank you!!

This was out second time staying at A Shore Thing and the home did not disappoint. John and Annemarie are tremendous hosts, with not just one, but two beautiful homes on BHI. If youre looking for a great family home with everything needed for a holiday stay...A Shore Thing should not be missed...

Very easy process. Excellent communication from the owners as questions came up. Highly recommend the property and owners.

Wonderful house for large family gathering. I loved that each of the 6 bedrooms offered a private bathroom and most had access to one of the beautiful porches! The home was also well stocked throughout.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The homeowners are quick responders and have a beautiful property. We would consider another stay.

The property is tucked away in the woods at Cape Fear Station, and there is a beautiful path (great for family pictures) within 0.10 miles of the house that takes you to the beach and Shoals Club. The owners are very responsive, and were understanding with the few issues we had. Small, but the range hood has temperamental lighting, and we fixed a golf cart that just got lifted and the front drive shaft needed tightening (not the fault of the owners). They were extremely grateful and accommodating. Plus, having a third golf cart is a great touch and super helpful when more than two families are using the house. We stay at BHI annually and this house, like all the others, has roaches at night, especially on the first floor. The owners indicated it was recently sprayed, but some made it back to the mainland with our luggage. The owners do a great job of outlining in detail those items at the house for our use to include appliances, spices, etc. I would recommend you bring extra paper towels, Lysol wipes and spices you enjoy on a daily basis as many are picked over. Also, we purchased plastic cups and paper plates for the kids to use so to not have to use any glassware. The refrigerator and ice maker are awesome and very spacious. The kitchen is great to cook in with the griddle and six burners, and gas is a huge plus! The beach towels were great. Luggage racks would be a great touch to keep items off the floor. We were disappointed that the floors were not mopped very well, in which we spoke with the owners directly.

We had a great time here and the house was really nice and perfect for us!

This is an older home in need of repair. Notified the owner of several issues and they were responsive. However for the money you are paying we were all disappointed with the quality and broken items. Location is nice but house needs work.

Beautiful property that is well appointed. Gourmet kitchen was terrific. Bedrooms were all beautiful. The crofter above the garage was terrific. Tons of outdoor seating on decks. Spacious and convenient to the beach! Great communication with the owners. 11 of us used the property and it worked out well.

We arrived a bit early and the cleaning crew was still there we introduced ourselves and left our belongings on the porch. Golf carts were charged and we took off exploring. Returned at 4:15 cleaning crew was still there. At 5:30 I took the crew to ferry terminal as there was no transportation arrangements for them. No big deal. Upon return we noticed beds had sheets folded under the pillows, we had to make beds, showers had black sludge and bathrooms need to be cleaned, we swept the house on the main floor. Garbage was over flowing and trash had to be picked up outside. By Monday we couldn’t figure out the thermostat and would default to 75. Gas grill would not light we reached out to owners and they were made aware of all our concerns and already knew of some of the problems. All in all the place is in need of cosmetic repairs, a good cleaning and updates there was plenty of bathrooms and beds. For our family of 14 it was a good week at the beach.

The best house we have ever stayed in at the beach ever. It was definitely well equipped in the kitchen. Great location, great people to rent from.

Great place with plenty of room for all.

We had 14 people stay here with all age ranges and the house was amazing. Plenty of room, multiple king size beds, two master bedrooms, crofter and open-concept kitchen/living/dining. The owners were very responsive too. Would definitely recommend staying here!

We loved our week at A Shore Thing! Perfect location for the beautiful beach and market access. The house had all we needed; we have never stayed at a better equipped property. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us and being so accommodating!

Often when we rent vacation homes, we find that the pictures and descriptions are more glowing than the property actually is. That is not what we experienced here. Any house is going to endure some natural wear and tear. This property met our expectations. We would gladly consider this home for a return visit.

Annemarie and John are extraordinary hosts. They were responsive, helpful and welcoming throughout our entire stay. They added an immeasurable quality to our visit. The home is very spacious and it easily accommodated our family for a wedding week. The large kitchen, dining room and family room made all of our entertaining easy and convenient. The kitchen was particularly well stocked. It was wonderful to have access to three golf carts and the garage is filled with every imaginable item for a week at the beach. I recommend this home without any reservation and again, Annemarie and John make this an even more delightful experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful property. I do suggest that the area rugs be cleaned as soon as possible. Only thing missing was a cork screw for our wine bottles. Bought one on the island so all good. Did not leave. Thanks so much for the stay.

Room for everyone, comfortable beds, great amenities, outdoor porches/decks were superb. Great access to beaches. Slight snafu with missing keys to let us in, but John was over in a jiffy to help out. We appreciated the constant and clear communication before our vacation stay!

Our stay at Shore to Please was excellent! The house was beautiful, & Annemarie was on top of her communication with us prior/throughout. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a pleasant stay, and the individual bathrooms in each room made for an easy location for a group of 12 of us to be comfortable getting ready for a wedding. While it was a bit far from the tram (and navigating the island can be complicated), the house was quiet, spacious and only a few steps from the Beach and the Scholls club. Thanks again for having us!

The owners were very accommodating and great to work with. The house had all of the amenities we required. Great location on the island near the Shoals Club.

Our group of 11 family members (ages 12 to 88) celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at Shore Thing. There was room for everyone to be perfectly comfortable in this gorgeous home! Perfect location (near the beach and the club). The host, the Marinelli's, were so kind and accommodating and help make our weekend getaway so memorable. Thank you again for everything!

Great experience renting from great people. We had everything we needed to make the trip amazing. We spent so much time relaxing in the house and exploring the island. We will be back!

Great home for a large group. We enjoyed the island, but the weather was so cold! Golf carts were fun but no enclosures for cold weather made it hard to get out and explore. Would rent again if visiting BHI.

Will definitely look forward to booking with Annemarie and John again. The house is well equipped and the location is great, just a short walk to the beach, park and Turtle Conservancy. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We had a family get-together at the house and it was the perfect place for our visit! Thank you for being great hosts and we hope we look forward to going back again.

The house has a great set up for entertaining a large group of people. We were specifically looking for a house that could accommodate couples and this fit the bill. Particularly love the kitchen and the very large dining room.

We had a blast at this property. AnneMarie and John were great at communication and ver proactive. They even had a hand written note welcoming us to the house. We will use this property again. Bedrooms were great, tankless water heater was big time with all the people. The kitchen was baller with lots of things needed to cook as well as a wet bar with fridge. And last but not least the crows nest for star gazing!

The island was beautiful! We had a nice stay!

We had a great experience in renting this house for our wedding held at the Shoals Club. It was conveniently located near the Shoals Club which made it easy to get to the wedding in my dress. Annmarie and John were a pleasure to work with before and during our stay.. Highly recomnmend!
