    One block from the boardwalk! The location is the biggest perk. Such a convenient location. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants. The property is very well loved, but sturdy and well kept. Kitchen has all the basics and a few more things. Nice outdoor patio space. Some beach equipment is available to borrow (boogie boards, etc). Street parking on 4th of July weekend was very challenging. Hosts were extremely easy to communicate with!

    We are very glad to know our location fit your needs well. However, we are very confused by the 3 star review. We did not receive any communications from you at all during your stay or after. If you were unhappy about something, we really wish you would have reached out to us during your stay. We are very proactive hosts and take our guests satisfaction seriously. Without knowing something isn’t up to your standards, we cannot address the issues you may have had, or learn what we can do differently to create a better experience for our future guests. Please keep this in mind for any other hosts you may stay with. Most of us really take our guests needs seriously.

    We had a great stay over Labor Day Weekend. We were super lucky that the house was available. It had everything we needed including an outdoor shower. It was just across the main road from the beach access, and close enough that carrying all our stuff was easy. The house was adorable, really cute decorations, and clean. We did notice something amiss when we checked in, alerted the owners, and they responded immediately. Parking was not dedicated, but when we got there, we messaged the owners about any hidden parking we may have missed and they got right to us also. Given that it was LDW, we were expecting parking to be difficult, but even so, were able to find parking within a few blocks, so even with it being a busy weekend, it was totally fine. The house is close to so many things, and we were able to find a bunch of gluten free restaurants and things to do within walking distance or short drive. We wished we could have stayed longer, because it was just dreamy, and our kids all said it was the best vacation they've ever been on!

    The property was ideally located and the hosts were Uber responsive!

    We had a great stay in this ideal situated property. It is near the boardwalk…but on the calmer end of strip so proximate to the better restaurants and still close enough for the kids to walk down to the honkytonk section or the boardwalk. The hosts went the extra mile in returning a toiletry bag we left there and were incredibly responsive!

    Great Condo and Location

    We stayed here for a quick getaway and loved it! I took five teenagers to the beach before many of them went off to college and the condo was perfect - we weren't all over each other. It was cute and cozy - one night I ended up falling (and staying) asleep on the couch and my older bones didn't ache in the morning. Will be staying here again!

    Very comfortable, great location, very cheerful interior decoration, well equipped. Close enough to the boardwalk to easily enjoy the ferris wheel and other rides, and far enough away from the rides to enjoy peaceful days at the beach and quiet mornings on the front porch. Overall, all we could hope for!

    Perfect Location in OCMD

    We stayed for 5 nights and had a blast! Very clean, the host was super responsive to our needs, and the location is in the Heart of OCMD. This place is a 1 minute walk from the boardwalk and super close to anything you’d like to do in OCMD. Make sure you take advantage of the porch area. We absolutely LOVED sitting out there at night to relax and enjoy our company. Also only 1 minute away from Crepe Daddy and hammerheads. Don’t miss out on a great place!

    Perfect hideaway

    Impeccably clean and nicely furnished with all the necessities for a home away from home feel. Very conveniently located with quick access to the beach and boardwalk. Parking can be a bit tricky, but not impossible to find spaces within a block or two if adjacent spaces are filled. The shower is very small and may not accommodate larger guests though. All in all, highly recommended! -Jonathan S.

    We are happy to know you’ll be coming back in the future. Let us know, and we’ll make that happen! We are working on the washer/ dryer, but found out one of the water supplies doesn’t actually have water running through it. Unfortunately the noise from above is difficult to overcome, without a full remodel. -Matt and Julie

    Host profile image
    We bought this home so others can vacation the way we like to, with family and friends. It is our hope, your stay with us will create meaningful memories full of joy and relaxation! Stay with us as you experience all that Ocean City and the surrounding area has to offer. JoyUsVacations is happy to offer this wonderful home for your beach getaway!

    Why they chose this property

    We chose this property for several reasons. Main reason...Location, location, location. Situated on a corner lot with a fenced yard, you are just steps away from the Beach and the Boardwalk, all while having the appeal of being at your own home away from home. The off-street parking next to the house is a hard to find amenity in Ocean City!

    What makes this property unique

    The home has two separate units each with a full kitchen, dining area, and living room.
    Every level provides great family gathering spaces inside and out. A large wrap around deck on every level allows you to unwind with your morning coffee or favorite beverage.
    We are very close to many points of attraction, both walking distance or a short ride.
