Family Times Together
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "It's a Shore Thing". It met all of our expectations...especially the fact of its location right on the beach! It was so enjoyable to sit on the deck and listen to the crash of the waves, watch the sunrise, and to see families enjoy the water. The kitchen had all that we had need of for our meal preparations. Even the table was large enough to have our meals together. The only recommendation would be to have more seating available for the back deck and maybe some beach chairs, umbrella, and sand toys. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for us to enjoy our family!

Great location but worn
On the water but house needs minor maintenance and updates. The floor was the best part of the house to be honest. Bathrooms need some serious TLC, mattresses are worn, furniture is old and screens are either missing or have holes. If not for the location, I would not rent this house again.

Great location! Good layout, however, the house needs a lot of work. The ceiling fans need to be replaced. Water damage on ceiling visible in all rooms. Back porch furniture not safe to sit on. I hope they fix it up. It’s a good location!

Shell Seeker, fishing and boogie boarding
Property was adequate, does have some age and needs new refrigerator. Nice to have linens provided. Power went out on Friday and was out for several hours, but Dominion Energy did great restoring service. Nice to walk out front to beach. Within walking distance for food, groceries and sweet treats. Children loved riding waves on the water and fishing was good for Sheepshead fish.

Not a shore thing
Location was great for what we needed for a family reunion however the house was very outdated. The kitchen had rusted appliances and the bathrooms were very out dated. The closet and kitchen drawers were very cluttered and not clean. The washer and dryer were also rusty on the inside. Could also use a fresh coat of paint. The patio on the outside had a gate that wouldn’t stay locked which is very unsafe for littles. This could be a great place to stay if upgrades were made.

Great location, but in desperate need of TLC
You can't beat this location. But it is extremely overpriced, even given the location. We stayed in this house only because it was the last house left available on the beach for our selected week with family from out of state, and wanted to be beach front since we have children under two. I knew the house was "no-frills", but again, that's all that was left available. There are a few major concerns, including but not limited to the rusty, sharp nails poking out ALL OVER the beach front porch spindles, the dryer vent under the house being completely clogged (fire hazard), but in addition, the plumbing fixtures are in desperate need of replacement. The kitchen cabinets are very cluttered, yet somehow the kitchen is still ill-equipped. All needs to be emptied and replaced with basic, full sets of things. Luckily my parents have a home on the island and were able to bring larger pots for us. The permanent "dog gate" on the beach front porch was a plus with the small children, but we quickly found the lock is rusted and does not hold (again, not safe). The bedding is extremely dated, especially for something not washed, it should be replaced from time to time. All in all, it's a fine house. But you simply shouldn't charge that much for a house that needs SO many repairs and maintenance.

Adequate
Old refrigerator, old stove, second or third hand washer dryer - dryer doesn’t dry btw. Lots of age showing in this house. Needs corroded door locks replaced and corroded faucets replaced. For the money they are charging, they could/should upgrade these things. Killed several roaches too. But hey, at least the AC worked.

Great Location
We enjoyed our stay at A Shore Thing. Location was great. I was worried about being close to Coots and the gas station but no issues with noise or traffic. House is comfortable, new living room furniture, comfortable beds and linens provided. There are televisions in each bedroom But they only have local network channels. Views are fantastic. There is no access to the beach from the house but the public access is only one house away.

I had never stayed directly on the beach before and this home blew my mind. It was comfortable, airy, and a wonderful place to overlook the ocean and sands when you wanted to get out of the sun.

A Great Location for a Great Vacation
You cannot find a better beach house in a more pleasant location. We thoroughly enjoyed our too short family vacation and will most certainly be back, as our exploration of Edisto Island was curtailed by the desire to 'hang' at the beach and this wonderful home!

Awesome beachfront location
This house is right on the water. I mean literally. During high tide or low tide the ocean view and sounds are amazing. It’s walking distance to the market and several good restaurants. The house is comfortable and well equipped. There have obviously been some upgrades done recently. Good floor plan. We brought our dog and she loved being able to lie in the sun on the deck and walk on the beautiful beach. Would definitely return.
