Birthday Getaway

Went down to Oak Island for my hubby’s 60th birthday and had a great time. This property is in a perfect location and we walked to the beach in just a matter of minutes. It was well maintained and suited our needs perfectly! Communication with Naomi was effortless and she responded right away when we had a question. Highly recommend this place!

Had a wonderful Memorial weekend with my husband and friends. The house had everything we needed and more! We loved finding this house walking distance to the beach as well as being dog friendly! We will definitely consider this house for our next Oak Island Vacation.

Enjoyed our stay, great location, short walk to the beach.

Really enjoyed our trip. The house was just as expected, newly updated with just a few small things that may still be needed but overall a great place for a nice beach getaway. Property owner was very responsive, and accommodating. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she was to work with and how quickly she responded to us when needed. Great experience and would rent again.

Perfect to walk to beach only 2 short blocks

Love the place and Naomi was great to work with. Only issue and not a big deal, remodeling on the house next to us so there was building materials and contractor trash on that side of the house. But in all honesty, had no impact to our stay. Location for us was perfect.

Perfect Beach Cottage

Just as explained in the description. Beautiful beach cottage with everything you need! We had a broken shower head when we arrived and it was fixed in about 5 hours after messaging the host.

Beautiful when you walked in, my friends where ohing and awing. The house was spotless!

I would definitely recommend renting A Shore Thing! As a matter of fact I want to come back in the fall. Close to beach and a small Beach Pantry. Needed some milk we forgot so the Pantry was not even a block away. Most everything was furnished in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Cute house, great beach access

We stayed for a week and while the weather wasn't the best, we had a nice time with beach strolls and just relaxing. Property was quiet and peaceful and a short 2 to 3 minute walk to the beach. We encountered no issues with the property but host was very responsive so I'm sure anything would have been handled promptly. We stayed with one dog and there were food and water bowls available and extra dog bags. We enjoyed our time and it's definitely a town to visit in the on season too!

Great Location

We had a nice stay, the house is a 3 minute walk to the beach. The house was nice. The floors needed to be mopped better my 1 year old was getting dirty crawling but not the worst problem! It would be nice to have a grill but the patio was great for relaxing. The owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We would stay here again!

Beach Weekend!

We needed a relaxing get away beach weekend, we found the cottage and it looked perfect. Everything was perfect and as described in the listing. The house is about a block from the beach, it was perfect. The check in and out process was smooth, and the owner responded to questions quickly (I am the type of person who asks one question at a time)! It was a great weekend just what the doctor ordered

Like staying at a friends house !

What a beautiful and tastefully decorated home. Plenty of towels,soap- dishwashing, dishwasher, hand and even laundry soap! Paper products were supplied also. Along with clean linens. Truly felt like staying at a friends home! Communication was more than amazing , in fact there was a glitch with reservation because of MY error and the owner was so very kind and patient. I’d recommend staying here 100%. We had everything we needed and more!! Such an easy walk to the beach and we hung out on the perfect sized covered porch in the AM and evenings. Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a great home,great location and great hostess- this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Abel

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Naomi and I'm a realtor! I live on Lake Norman and love being by the water. It calms me and brings me back to my center. I have two kiddos who are my everything. I bought this beach home for them so we can make as many amazing memories as possible, and my hope is one day, it's paid for and they can begin to bring their kids to the beach!

Why they chose this property

I was on the hunt for a beach property! I wanted something cozy and a couple rows back from the ocean. When I found this home, it was a gut job! I'm a realtor though so saw the vision and value in the proximity to the ocean and went for it! I put a lot of love into this home and I hope you enjoy it as much as my girls and I do!

What makes this property unique

I love the proximity to the ocean. It's a 1 minute walk to the beach access so you don't have to have any sand in your car, can come and go from the beach for food and restroom breaks, easily!! I wanted the home to be cozy and comfortable, which I hope you feel when you arrive!
