Thoughtfully Stocked & Kid-Friendly!
As a farm wife and momma of four little ones under the age of four— I know exactly how much stuff it takes to travel with kids (and how exhausting that can be!). That’s why I’ve thoughtfully stocked The Shore Thing with everything I’d want in a vacation home—so you don’t have to bring the kitchen sink. My goal is simple: to give your family the same kind of getaway I’d want for mine—restful, fun-filled, and low-stress. Our home includes:
- 2 Pack ‘n Plays
- Highchair that straps to a chair and dinnerware (plates, silverware, sippy cups, bibs)
- Kids' games, puzzles, books and toys
- Blackout curtains, white noise machines, and audio monitors
- Two strollers for easy outings
- Extra lawn chairs & yard games
Your Home Away from Home
The fully equipped open concept kitchen features granite countertops, full-size appliances, and everything needed for cooking: pots & pans, silverware, basic spices & oils, crockpot, electric skillet, toaster, blender, coffee maker and Keurig (K-cups & coffee not provided) and more! Enjoy meals together at the dining table (seats 6) and kitchen island (seats 4). With easy access to a covered patio with gas grill and outdoor dining setup. Or kick back in the spacious living areas with high-speed WiFi and flat-screen TVs.
Also on the main level is the Master bedroom which boasts a king-sized bed and master ensuite bathroom with updated shower head, spacious vanity, walk-in closet, towels, hairdryer and other toiletries provided. We like to use the walk-in closet as a little nursery and set up the baby monitor and pack 'n play in there. Main floor also has a new washer and dryer with detergent in the mudroom which is right off of the garage.
There's a spacious garage that's equipped with all the necessities to enjoy a fun, family-filled weekend including a full-sized fridge for drinks or extra food, room to park 1 car, 2 strollers, bikes, sidewalk chalk, pool toys, yard games and lawn chairs. There is also an extra parking pad in front of the cabin that fits 3 cars.
On the lower level you will find bedroom 2 & 3 which are queen bedrooms with a closet, linens, and luggage rack. The 4th bedroom offers full-over-full bunk beds and a Pack 'n Play. All bedrooms have a baby monitor, white noise machines and black-out curtains if desired. Also on the lower level is a spacious family room with a trundle bed (2 twins), a flat-screen TV and an oversized sectional. There is also a full-sized bathroom with shower/tub combo, towels, hand-soap, hair dryer and other toiletries provided.
