    5 childhood friends and our spouses met at BHI for an annual friends weekend, this house was perfect. The sleeping arrangements and bathrooms allowed each couple a queen or king plus their own bathroom. The kitchen was fully stocked, there was absolutely nothing we needed that was not available. We had a ball!

    Great home and perfect for large families. We definitely appreciated the large dining table and several outdoor spaces. Conveniently located in Cape Fear Station and everyone had a great time.

    “A Shore Thing” was perfect for our three-generation family! Huge refrigerator, gas cooktop, and double ovens along with accessories galore made making meals easy and fun for our cooking teams. Six and a hal bathrooms was fantastic — every bedroom had its own bath. Hosts were helpful, friendly, and gracious. We’ll be back!

    Just returned from celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday with friends. The house was fantastic and exactly as described. We enjoyed the golf carts and the proximity to a beach access was wonderful. The owner’s communication was responsive and really helpful when I had questions. Thank you John and Annemarie for a weekend we’ll always remember

    Twelve adults, friends and family, stayed for five days over Thanksgiving holiday. Nice location. Comfortable layout and furnishings, with well-equipped kitchen. Two screened-in porches and three decks were a great place to lay out and read. Hosts very responsive to all questions and issues we had during our stay.

    Our family of 13 stayed at A Shore Thing June 15-22 and had a fantastic time on the Island and in the home. The home is very spacious, yet warm and inviting. Our tightknit family loves to cook together and gather in the kitchen and this home is perfect for that. The very large and well equipped / stocked kitchen and huge dining table allowed us to unwind and relax after a long day at the beach and BHI Club over homecooked meals. The house location has a short-cut walk to the beach and is a very short golf cart ride away as well. It is our experience that you really only needed to bring your clothes and personal items as the house provides all you'll need to enjoy a week at the beach - including three golf carts in excellent shape, beach items such as chairs, and umbrellas, and all house amenities to make it feel like home. The hosts were easy to communicate with, although we didn't need a thing while staying at the home. We would not think twice about staying at this property again - it was a great experience.
