Beautiful home

(York, PA)
Date of Stay: 01/13/12
Review Submitted: 01/17/12
This house is beautiful and fully equipped. The pictures do not do it justice. The neighborhood is pristine and it is in a great location. The only downside is that renters can not use the clubhouse and indoor pool. Other than that, this house is top notch.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car.
Great getaway for November

This was our third stay at this beautiful home. All have been for a weekend in the early part of November. A few of us went for a nice bike ride up the coast (and back), a few played tennis, and the kids went to the boardwalk to ride bikes. The kitchen is awesome and has everything you need to cook a great meal. The kids went and found us some mussels that we steamed up and ate. The adults hung downstairs and the kids loved the upstairs and ping pong and TV. Overall, a blast. We plan to make this an annual event and look forward to our fourth trip in November 2012! Great location, well decorated, just a nice relaxing home to chill for the weekend.

This property most certainly was as well-maintained as the photos reflect. It is clear the owners take pride in their property. I am confident that the owners will continue to upkeep this property. The home was clean, including bedding, walls, and flooring. This is a quality that will make us return renters. The owners were timely in returning phone calls and very helpful. It is perfect for all generations! We wish the owners "gentle renters" in the future.

Family Vacation

This home is extremely beautiful the pictures does it no justice. There was a space for all the adults and separate quarters for the kids who so enjoyed their own area. This home is decorated beautifully not too overdone where you can't relax but not too casual where you don't feel special. The kitchen is to die for! the owner spared no expense in thinking to supply all your needs for family fun and adult pleasure. Fireplace for romantic eves, big screen for sports shows, great sound system for dancing, beautiful glassware for those pina coladas, game/family room equipped w' ping pong and stocked with family games... I can't stop mentioning how wonderful my stay was...we had plenty to do each day while in ocean city, home is near everything... but it was an extreme highlight each time i re-entered; i gasped because of the beauty of this well kept home... Must stay for all seekers!!

The home and property were very well maintained and very spacious. The view out to the bay was relaxing and the deck and deck table and chairs were used by the whole family quite often. Getting to the pool and across to the ocean was very convenient to walk or some were shuttled that did not want to walk due to the heat. The house was well equipped with everything you need to function as a large family group. All in all it was a very enjoyable place.

This house was a fantastic idea for our trip. It offered so much space and it was very close to the shore. The view of the bay was spectacular and we couldn't have wished for anything more. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the use of the house. We are starting to plan next years adventure and we are hoping to rent it again. Thank you!!!

We rented the house early April for a girls weekend. The house is AMAZING! We had such a great time. It's so comfortable. We can't wait to stay again. Brad & Judy, the owners are so accomodating and easy to work with. The house is so beautiful and the perfect location! Couldn't ask for anything better:)

This home is simple beautiful!! From the decor to the floor:) My husband and I & four other couples spent my birthday weekend at this lovely home and we had a ball. It was so comfortable. We will be back! The only thing I would recommend is a jacuzzi. Thats just my preference. In the winter time sitting in a hot jacuzzi with a few friends is really fun. Overall I highly recommend this home! Thank you Mr. Bras & Ms. Judy!!

An Absolutely Awesome Home

Review Submitted: 01/21/11
WOW! That is the first thing each of us said when we first walked in the door! WOW! This house is so gorgeous and spacious--the pictures do not do it justice! Four families rented the house for a few days, to celebrate New Year's Eve together. Each of the adults had their own, beautiful and comfortable bedroom, while the kids had the HUGE bunk room (with their own bathroom)!! The kids enjoyed hanging in their room, as well as the second floor game room. They spent their time playing ping-pong, board games on the game table, and video games on the TV! We barely saw them--they were having so much fun! The adults hung out in the family room/kitchen area, where we could all sit comfortably and watch movies, or play games at the LONG kitchen table We have some great chefs in our group, and they were so happy with all of the amenities in the kitchen---the double oven, the LARGE stove, and plenty of prepping space! The bar area is a nice touch too---with it's own wine fridge, and plenty of space! Our group has rented houses together for over 10 years (winter and summer), and this was by far one of the nicest house we have rented! The owners are a pleasure to deal with, and were always available to answer our questions! We are looking forward to returning next year!

Rental Home with all Amenities

My family stayed at Brad & Judy's home in Ocean City during the week of Thanksgiving. The home is beautifully furnished and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pictures on the web site really don't do the house justice. We were able to comfortably cook Thanksgiving dinner in the gourmet kitchen (multiple cooks) and we had everything we needed. I think the only thing we did not have was a pie plate, but who goes to the ocean and cooks a pie? The dining table seats 10, so we brought a card table so everyone could sit down at the same time. The card table also came in handy when we had competition card games running simutanously. There is a card/ game table in the upstairs game/tv room and it had seating for 6. I highly recommend this house for rental. The location is very convienient to shopping, groceries and restaurants. Even in November there are plenty of things to do in Ocean City. We went antiquing and geo-caching. We also went to a winery in Delaware. And of course there are the outlets for shopping. The holiday lights at Northside park were awesome though it was quite cold. Bottom line - do not hesitate - go and enjoy!
