Close to the beach, short walk down the street. The place is also a short walk from a deli/grocery, pizza, and ice cream. Nice stay! Only downside would be that parking is very limited.

Not bad, just seemed like there were some cut corners on things that are basic in most rentals. Things like no toilet paper holder, no shelf in shower for soap etc, old outdated futon for main (only) seating in living room.Very small, but you know that going in. Just needs some updates and basic things to give guests a better impression.Location is great and having a porch is nice.Overall, basic no frills in nice area.

Nice porch

No frying pans. Only pots. Pretty clean. Futon a little uncomfortable. Near the boardwalk but far from the rides. No parking spot. Street parking was very inconvenient.

Memorial Day weekend

Had to park blocks away since they don’t provide parking. Shower knob is locked so you can’t make it hot just barely warm and the shower head isn’t well adjusted I had to hold it the whole time.

There should be no future issues with temperature. We're sorry to hear the shower head was not up to your standards. We will keep in mind as we do some upgrades next season!

Great stay

Beautiful city and neighborhood. The apartment is a 4-minute walk from the sea. The beach is located completely north of the Boardwalk, which we really appreciated because the space was larger and there were fewer vacationers. The apartment is old and small but the value for money is really excellent. The kitchen is well equipped. Aleays was very clean. We also have access to a laundry room (at a lower cost) which was very practical when we found our beach towels too dirty. We would come back without any hesitation.

Bday vacation

We had a very nice time staying here for my birthday. The parking can be an issue especially on weekends. We knew it was street parking only but there was literally no parking. The neighbors downstairs were kind enough to let us park in the driveway for a couple hours. We were able to find a spot eventually but it was on a different street. We walked everywhere so once we found a spot everything was good. The location is great

A small cozy 1 bdrm 2nd floor apt

I didn't quite realize how very small this place was. It was fine for just me, but it would be tight with two people. My only complaint is an odor in the living room and on the futon. It think it might be from cleaning spray, but I am sensitive to fragrances and was bothered by the smell.

About the host

Hosted by Christina

Host profile image
I, Christina, have been going to Ocean City for vacations for over 20 years now.
I introduced my husband Louis to my favorite spot in all of New Jersey and told him all about my childhood dream to have a little Ocean City getaway some day. He was very enthusiastic about fulfilling that dream for me, and now we're sharing it with you!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a small place at the beach that felt like home. Most 1 bedroom properties felt like a motel. This cozy condo felt like 'ours' as soon as we saw it.

What makes this property unique

The easy stroll to the beach, and Brown's Donuts. Enough said.
