Shire is Beautiful earns the name
This is a second visit to the property and we love the location and the view. Just a few suggestions-- the sliders need some work-they stick and one did not have screens-so we could not enjoy the ocean sounds. We appreciate the linen service very much.

Beach house
The stay was great. The house was not maintained well and I had to contact VRBO immediately to help me get in. I cleaning out the bathroom drain myself because the person bringing batteries for the door lock that did not work when I got there did not know how to do that. There was no offer to get a plumber. The stay was great after that.

Location and views beat everything!
The view, and location to the quiet beach was incomparable to any other. The shower downstairs and hose on the deck made up for the small bathrooms inside and honestly made the trip 10x better and easier!

Wish we could have stayed longer...
5 teachers came down for the weekend. It was cold and rainy most of the time but we didn't care. The views of the ocean were easily enjoyed on the couches with coffee or cocktails, music, puzzles, and books. The view is incredible. Cozy and divey beach town. We loved it.

Winter Girls trip
We enjoyed a winter girls trip with four ladies. Overall the property was nice. The location was great and the views and deck were fantastic. The deck was very recently built/updated and was nice!! The living room furniture is different than the pictures and pillows and such were very worn out.(but useable!) We paid for the sheets and towels, and were given a good number of towels for four people. The sheets were terrible, unfortunately. They were very very thin with lots of pilling and worn out. (I saw other reviewers had complained about this) Recommend bringing your own. Kitchen gadgets are very worn out. Can opener is not really usable and would recommend bringing your own. Overall cleanliness was ok. Shower curtain was moldy and bathroom rugs needed washing. Bring your own hairdryer as there isn’t one on property. Overall, this was a decent stay, and would be a really great stay with a few updates or improvements. Nothing that will stop you from having fun and enjoying the beach.

December is a great time to go to the beach!
Shore is Beautiful was truly the perfect spot for our week long family vacation! Sunrises and sunsets were glorious! The house had ample space for all 8 of us and the kitchen was well stocked. There was a slight glitch when we arrived, but that was soon taken care of as was a toilet in need of repair on another day. The sliding glass door needs high-powered elbow grease to get it open and shut. Over-all Shore is Beautiful was a good choice!

The views were amazing and the location was perfect. The house had everything we needed to cook. There was also plenty of beach gear to use. Beds were comfy and we enjoyed spending the evenings on the deck listening to the ocean.

We had an amazing time together with family staying at Shore is Beautiful. Hopefully this will be a place to stay for years to come unless the family keeps growing. Do wish the house was a bit larger to accommodate another 1-2 bedroom but it worked for our crew

Gorgeous oceanfront home!
This house is located right on the ocean with gorgeous views, open layout and everything you need for an awesome stay! The kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfy and it's located in the middle of the beach front strand. The hosts were very accomodating and communication was great! Would highly recommend - we really enjoyed our stay!
