    This beach house was absolutely perfect for our family spring break getaway! It was spacious, well stocked, and had plenty of room for our family! There was parking onsite for our 3 cars which was super convenient. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The house was perfectly decorated and the kitchen was stocked with every you needed. The hosts, Matt and Julie, were especially awesome and kept us informed and answered all our questions with a super quick response! One of the best things about this house was the location. We were only a block from the boardwalk and beach! We highly recommend this house and would give it 10 stars if we could! Will definitely stay here again!

Great location, good parking, easy walk to the beach and boardwalk. The hosts were responsive when we had any questions through the VRBO app. Plenty of kitchen amenities and very clean.

    The property was exactly what we wanted for our family vacation. Location was perfect, with easy access to the beach, shopping, & restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked & very clean. Living room/dining room easily accommodated our group & wrap-around porch a lovely spot to relax. Bedrooms were very comfortable with multiple sleeping options. Be aware that there is a lower level rental unit that was occupied during part of our stay. We never heard nor saw the other renters, but as early risers with younger children we tried to keep that fact in mind.

    A perfect getaway

    A perfect getaway or myself and my children. I rented this beautiful home for the week of Fourth of July, and let each of my children bring a friend. The home was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect We were able to walk to the beach and the boardwalk and back home quickly to grab things throughout the day… The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The decks were a great location to hang out after a long day at the beach or early mornings with coffee before the kids woke up… I would definitely recommend this location to anyone considering ocean city!

    Wonderful Stay

    This was by far the best property we've stayed in in Ocean City! The house was cute and clean. Plenty of seating in the family room for large groups. Sitting on the porch at night after the kids were in bed was a treat! Having linens provided, as well as "starter" toiletries was extremely helpful, as it cuts down on all of the extra items that we had to remember to pack. Not needing to make all of the beds, as well as not needing to strip them all down at the end was also a huge plus. Checkout mornings are always hectic, and this checkout process was the easiest we've had. The hosts were also extremely responsive with communications. We will 100% stay here again!

    Much Need Family Get Away

    Due to 2020 what it was we had not been able to see much of our family. This home was just what we needed as we were able to roll through seeing different family over our stay. More than enough room in the bedrooms, on the decks and for cornhole in the yard. Grilling is convenient and the access to the boardwalk and beach for the kids to come and go or walking to dinner was very easy from this location. I was able to not drive my car for 2 weeks. We will look to return next summer! #2022

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for the feedback. We truly do appreciate receiving feedback from our guests. Our apologies for the inconveniences. We have already taken care of a majority of those things and the rest are scheduled or will be. -You were the first guest who made us aware of the the toilet leaking at the base, and we have taken care of that; immediately after your departure. -Not sure why the sliding door wouldn’t open for you, because it opened just fine for our maintenance team just after your departure. -Table size and armoire are in the space in order to have enough seating and storage for the large groups and longer stays. I see how they can be considered large for the area, but the benefits of these (in our opinion) outweigh the negative. -Bathroom fan, this is the first we’ve been made aware of this. We will correct that during the off season -Gates: prior to your arrival we messaged you (so you were aware) that the previous guest broke the gate upon their checkout. This was the same day of your arrival, so there was no time to correct this before your arrival. It was taken care of immediately after your departure. -Lights in living room are on the schedule for an electrician to take care of. We were having difficulties scheduling them without disturbing guests. -DVD player must have grown legs and walked away at some point. However, we do have a smart TV, in order for our guests to stream content from their own favorite streaming platforms
