When you come back from the beach be sure to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with both hot & cold water. Morning sunrises to late night talks can be spent on the covered front porch which offers plenty of seating and three rocking chairs. Other amenities include Satellite TV, TV’s & DVD’s in all bedrooms and living room, an outdoor grill and a very well stocked kitchen.

Shorething was a perfect Spring Break Getaway!

Mick was friendly from the moment I booked and continued to respond quickly when I had any questions. The house was perfect for our family & grandparents. The kids loved the heated pool and the very short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower with hot water is what every beach house is missing! I kept the kids shampoo out there and would go ahead and bathe all three when leaving the beach. Fort Morgan is so peaceful-none of the spring break crowd.

great stay

Thank you Mick and Kim for an awesome stay. Everything from start to finish was easy. your house is very comfortable, homey, clean and we could not have found a better location. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch having morning coffee, watching the sun come up, and meeting all the great neighbors walking by with a friendly good morning. The pool was amazing. Very clean, and warm. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again for a great vacation.

Spring Break

Our stay was really good. We enjoyed the pool so much it was an extra charge for heating the pool but it was worth the extra money. I also loved that the kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans, pot, utensils! We would recommend a stay at Shore Thing to our family and friends.

3rd time staying in this home!

This was the 3rd time my family has stayed here and we continue to be pleased each year! The beach is a few steps away from your front porch and the pool on the deck is the perfect spot to hang out when the beach is too hot!
