Very nice vacation home

This home is absolutely beautiful and we had so much room to live in the home while on vacation. We had everything we needed plus more. The pool area was nice and the walk to the beach was very short. Definitely recommend for big families.

The house was perfect for our family vacation. The parking was great. We enjoyed the pool and how close we were to the beach. The beach chairs with the coolers and backpack straps were very handy. When we checked in we found one of the beds had an issue. We called and it was fixed within a few hours. We all agreed we would book the Ashore Thing again!!!

The house met our expectations based on the reviews. It was nice and modern. The community pool is smaller than it appears in the photos, but it is not shared by many so we still enjoyed it. Overall, it was what we needed and for the price it was a great deal.
