A Look Inside The Shore House

Growing up “down the shore” (though, I never started calling it that until I was a few years into my Philly life), outside of quick shopping trips to Cape May, dinners in Stone Harbor, and, naturally, nights at the Princeton in Avalon, we really never spent a ton of time at beaches that weren’t “ours.”

Since living in the city, I’ve discovered that everyone here has a different shore town they love, and for really great reasons. So when I was invited to check out The Shore House, North Wildwood’s hottest new motel, I could not wait to spend some time on a new (to me) little shore getaway!

A review of North Wildwood's motel The Shore HouseI started following The Shore House on Instagram long before I knew I’d be staying over, and I was obsessed. One look and you’ll see how this place is revolutionary to the beach motel game.

When I thought about who I’d be bringing along on my pre-4th of July getaway, I knew my two best gal pals (aka my mother & sister) would be the perfect guests. But, as soon as I saw that TSH was dog-friendly, we planned for the two pups of the family – Ellie & Henry – to join us.

When we arrived, we were greeted by Kevin, the owner and designer behind the entire space. Kevin bought the property and started working on it early this year, and the transformation is truly incredible.

Around each turn of our one bedroom unit (which typically sleeps 5, and runs ~$320 ish per night in the busy beach season) was a new little detail. The artwork was carefully curated. The appliances were brand new, yet perfectly vintage. The products in the bathroom smelled heavenly. And the bar cart was stocked with mixers and utensils to fix the perfect drink. It was clean and bright, and did I mention dog-friendly? 🙂

After settling in and exploring our room, we headed downstairs for a little party hosted by TSH. The way all the units surround the common outdoor space (there’s 12 apartments total – mostly 1 and 2 bedrooms, but there is a 3, sleeping up to 12!) made me think how perfect it would be for a bachelorette party, or even a small wedding at the shore. There was tons of seating, fun outside games, and a nice big grill. The wonderful Brandon Szeker, publicist for TSH, made ~shore~ 😉 our stay was as comfortable as possible (and delivered cheese and crackers to the party goers – very important) – thank you, Brandon!

And that shore town I wanted to explore? The location of TSH is so convenient, we got to check out so much of it! For lunch, we took a very quick drive over to North Shore Bar (don’t sleep on the Orange Crush drink), and for breakfast the next day, my mom and I rode the motel’s complimentary bikes to the Market on 24th Street for avocado toast and cold brew. We were literally a block and a half from the beach and boardwalk, so at night, we took a quick stroll down to the famous Mack’s Pizza (which we carried back to our room and enjoyed at our cute little bistro table with some wine). In the morning, we didn’t have to drag our chairs forever (also provided by TSH if you don’t feel like taking up space in your car on the way down) and were able to settle in at the nice, calm, freeeee North Wildwood beach. It was really so nice.

We adopted a puppy!!! 🖤 Meet Putter. He was born in January in Mississippi, and brought to PA with his mom & siblings for adoption by @tlcrescuepa. 

I had been applying to rescue a pup for almost a year, so I am so thankful to @tlcrescuepa for giving us a shot. We brought Putter home 4/26/22. 🥰

Putter is fitting into our family so well, and we are loving watching him grow and learn new things. Jim & I are taking him to puppy class every Saturday and we are excited to learn more ourselves! 

I could spam you with a million pictures but I created an Insta for the baby so I don’t go overboard here. 😂 You can follow @putterthepuppy to see more of our small boy. 🥹
The last night of @linnytharp’s Philly bachelore The last night of @linnytharp’s Philly bachelorette was such a joy it deserves its own post. 🚃

I have talked about the @foundingfootsteps tours for years. The owner, Tim, is such an asset to the Philly community, and I was excited to support his company for our ladies night out. 💃🏻

I booked us the Beer & Bands trolley tour. We (the 8 of us and 3 sweet younger gals) got picked up at Betsy Ross house with our BYO @highnoonsunsips and singing voices ready. 🎶

The trolley comes equipped with musicians and an amazing driver (shoutout Koser, Nate & Justin!) and takes you on a drive throughout the city, while the musicians play Britney Spears, BSB, & other assorted covers. Though we did make several suggestions to add more Taylor songs into rotation. 😉

The windows are open and we were loudly singing along, so early on, in our drunken happiness, we decided to start waving to people out the window. Once we started getting a few waves back, it became the sole focus of the night, singing and seeing how many waves we could secure (it was a 95% wave-back rate). 

We laughed and sang and just had the most fun tour ever. The tour also stops at a brewery or two (hence that part of the name), we stopped at @victorytaproom_phl on ours, but we were mostly happy to be waving on the trolley. 😂

I can’t recommend @foundingfootsteps for your next girls night out enough. 🖤

Our Saturday bachelorette day started off with breakfast at our @airbnb (@hot_bagels brought by @caitlyn22b were the star). We made some drinks and headed to @oldcityphilly for our surprise (to @linnytharp) @airbnbexperiences tour - “Hamilton - The Tour Where it Happens!”

Lindsay is a big @hamiltonmusical fan and this was an absolutely hysterical way for us to spend the afternoon. Our tour guide, Reid, brought along a speaker and played/rapped along to several Hamilton tracks on the streets of Philly. We learned a lot about the true Hamilton story and had just so, so much fun. 

After the tour, we got a drink at @theploughphilly and bopped over to @luchacartelphilly for a seriously delicious dinner & margs. Our night event deserves its own post, so more on that in the final Bach post! 😉
