Definitely A Shore Thing for this family!

This house is perfect for a multi-family vacation! Loved that almost each room had its own private bathroom! The pinball machine and hot tub were the biggest hits! Awesome to be able to bring our boat. The neighborhood was serene! We will definitely be back!

Awesome property for reunion!

There were 14 of us aged 8-64. My siblings and nephew all came from the west coast. I rented a kayak and bikes, but there was plenty to do at the house already. With the game room and the dock. The kids fished and caught crabs. The house accommodated everyone. I was under the impression I needed to rent linens, but the house comes with linens and towels. Ben was great from the very start. He answered all my questions. I will definitely stay here again. Rent this house, you will not be disappointed.

Great space and location!

Our stay was great! There was enough space for us to be together and to be apart! Loved the access to the water/canal. We rented a pontoon boat, it was great to be able to have it for several days with having a dock. The beach was a very short ride and the beach itself was great! We were able to cook our meals with plenty of available cook ware-9 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 toddlers. Would love to return here!! The only downside was the dryer did not work but it was not really an issue because there was plenty of space to hang the wash!!

Great location

Perfect for large family

The property was exactly what was listed. Only thing I wish the listing said was that you need to provide your own linens. I didn't realize that until after I booked. We had 12 people stay in the rental (Myself & my husband, and then 10 kids ranging from 20 years - 6 months), there was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen had everything you could imagine needing. The kids loved going out back and catching sealife...we saw crabs, clams, horseshoe crabs, jellyfish and many other little creatures. It was a perfect place for my family!

Great Place

House was large enough to comfortably accommodate everyone. The back deck was a lot of fun for beautiful view and for crabbing. Location was not too far down ocean city hustle but was also a bit more private for some more low key beach time.

Solid large house near the beach.

We stayed in the offseason (March), so much of the town activities were not there. House was solid, had plenty of cookware, grill, 2 large tables for dinners. Plenty of rooms and bedrooms, tvs in all the bedrooms, wifi, pool, fusbal. Pretty much everything we were looking for in a large rental.

Great Experience II

Another Year, Another Great Week at A SHORE THING! Our family of 14 again really enjoyed our week from July 26th – Aug 2nd at A Shore Thing. We have always found Ben, the owner, to be responsive and flexible to our needs and requests. The property was immaculate upon our arrival. The new refrigerator and washing machine are terrific and plenty big enough for a group as large as ours. We brought an inflatable children’s pool that we put on the deck and was enjoyed by both kids and parents. Being so close we did a variety of things during the week. A couple times with the crew on the Maryland beach opposite the Fenwick. A couple times we enjoyed the waterpark just up the road first thing in the morning when it was easy to maintain social distancing. One night we carried in some excellent Mexican food from a hopping Papa Grandes just across Lighthouse Road. One morning a gourmet breakfast at Bayside Skillet where they had their patrons separated in a beautiful setting. All easily done because A Shore Thing is in such an excellent location. Could not have asked for a better experience for the second year in a row.

Basketball at the Beach

A Shore Thing is a large, convenient and well-furnished beach house made perfectly for our group of guys who enjoy basketball, board games, beach walking, and great home cooking (baby-back ribs and a few beers). My group comes every year, and the owner is extremely helpful in making our stay comfortable. And the owner makes several improvements from year to year to make the whole place a bit more comfortable. We love our get-away weekend there. Len

Great Experience

Our entire family of 14 really enjoyed our week from July 21st – 28th at A Shore Thing. We found the property to be very clean, fully equipped & operational and of course the location simply can’t be beat. We had plenty of room, (including parking) never felt crowded and you could find a quiet spot to go off by yourself to read a book or shoot some pool. At the same time the gathering areas around the kitchen and the large TV’s were designed to hold most everyone. Also, we had enough table space to sit everyone down for dinner and to carry on with large card games later in the evening. Not even including the two picnic tables on the screened-in deck. The couple of times when we needed Ben, the owner, we had no trouble at all reaching him. The first night there we accidentally blew a fuse and needed a code to access the garage and the fuse box. Despite it being late in the evening, Ben was very responsive and back to us with the answer in minutes. Ditto later in the week when some of the family accidentally locked some other of us out of the house during the day! They were good though and had properly secured all the other entrances to the house! A text to Ben and, again, minutes later he was back to us with the answer. He has absolutely been an excellent landlord to us since the moment we booked September of last year. The family has rented houses for vacation in the Outer Banks for over 20 years and loved it. The drive and the traffic finally got to us. A Shore Thing has been one of the very best experiences we’ve had. So, we have already booked it for vacation next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Benjamin Daniels

Host profile image
Native east coasters, Benjamin and Nancy have two sons, a daughter-in-law and are freshly minted grandparents. They love kicking back at Fenwick Island with family and friends at the beach, at the local restaurants like Nantucket's for dinner or Dirty Harry's for breakfast. An avid cook, Ben whips up great meals for romantic evenings on the deck.

Why they chose this property

Make A Shore Thing your vacation tradition in season and don't forget to sneak away during the off season especially during the holidays. Great for multiple families with children of all ages or vacationing with your friends.

What makes this property unique

We love the house, the location but sitting on the top deck looking down the canal into the bay at night is spectacular.
