Loved the hot tub! The neighborhood was quiet and the location to the private beach was a nice 12 minute walk from the home. We had a wonderful stay. Would definitely return to this ideal location in Union Pier.

Great house and location within walking distance to private beach. So appreciated all the beach chairs, umbrella, wagon etc…for our daily beach days! Perfect size house for our family including teens who had own spaces upstairs. Lots of time in the wonderful screened porch too. Hope we can stay here again next summer.

Reviewer Comments:
We were very happy with our stay at Shore Thing. The home was spotless, very comfortable, kid friendly and nicely decorated. The fenced backyard was wonderful for our 3 year old grandson. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and weekend farmer's market. We especially appreciated the wagon, beach toys and games that were available. A very small criticism would be that the kitchen could use some updated pots and pans if you plan on cooking a lot. Tonya is great to deal with and I would definitely recommended this property. It is exactly as described on it's website.
