The living room hosts ample seating focused around the fireplace and television area. Our dining room hosts a farm style table that seats up to eight with additional seating for 4 at the bar The balcony is spacious and provides a view of the cityscape below, or the ocean with a turn of the head.
Our first master bedroom, the Captain’s Suite, is luxurious. Ocean dreams are easy in your very comfortable pillow top king-size bed. You can relax in the oversize chair to watch the flat screen wall hung TV or which also provides extra sleeping space (twin). The balcony gives you a view of the stars. After hours, relax in the huge master bathroom with jacuzzi-style tub to add a romantic spa-like experience to your vacation.
We know families like to vacation together. We’ve planned so no one will feel second rate at our escape when they sail away to our second master bedroom the First Mate’s Suite. The sailing motif enhances another very comfortable plush king-size bed and has a coordinated private full bath. The third bedroom, our Purser’s Suite, is large enough to accommodate two queen beds with space to spare. This tranquil room has access to a third bathroom via a pocket door for privacy at night. TV’s in all bedrooms.
Our kitchen is fully equipped to delight any chef. We’ve thoughtfully provided just about every kitchen essential you can think of to make food preparation a snap, from spices to waffle iron, electric skillet and salad spinner. A Forman grill takes care of those barbeque yearnings a condo dweller might have. Bake ware, large serving items, attractive table settings help make meal prep away from home easy and enjoyable.
Sun yourself or sip evening drinks on the 7th floor roof-top terrace for a spectacular view of the ocean. Elevator access. Wide hallways and huge rooms makes our condo wheel chair welcome.
Nearby beaches include Bethany, Rehoboth, Fenwick, and Ocean City. Fenwick Island State Park is just up the road and you might want to try a day trip via ferry to Cape May or adventure south to Assateague National Park to see the famous wild horses. Shopping becomes a competitive sport at the great tax free DE outlets. Kids of all ages will love the world class boardwalk of O.C.

Map & Owner's Profile
Enchanting Oceanside Condo - Ocean City - Two Masters/Linens
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Avalon
The North part of Ocean City is very much like the more restful, family friendly Fenwick area - just 5 blocks away - and yet all the excitement of Ocean City is just to the south - you can enjoy the best beaches here - without all the people typical of O.C.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love taking care of our guests. We work hard to keep our home in tip top shape - we don't skimp on anything and we are convinced you will find our home a cut above all the rest. Our renters constantly tell us that - and the fact that they keep coming back proves it!
Owner's Map of Avalon
We have four beautiful vacation homes in the Coastal Delaware and North Ocean City area. We began our Grape Escapes vacation home adventure quite by accident after vacationing at the shore for many years. We are always seeking to provide our guests with the very best vacation experiences - and like to say we treat you like family. Why? Because we design our homes, and provide customer service in the same way we would like to be treated if we were the guest. Lots of people ask where the name "Grape Escapes" came from, since we offer beach vacations and not vineyard tours! I love purples, mauves and lavender- and began decorating around those colors - because we didn't want our home to look like every other blue and yellow beach place on the block. We are unique and think you will enjoy our unique 'grape escapes"! Who else would have a periwinkle living room!
