About this property

Beach Block, Pet Friendly, Big open porch, lots of added amenities

This is a second floor unit, available for rental, since dad can no longer use the steps. It has 3 comfortable bedrooms and open space from the living area through the dining room into a newly renovated kitchen. It has a classic Jersey shore feel but with updated furniture and central air conditioning! Bedrooms have ceiling fans along with fans in the living room and dining room. Washer and dryer are available. There is a back porch and Weber grill provided for cooking. The best part is the outside front porch for people watching, reading a book, taking a nap or relaxing in the ocean air with a few cocktails. The property has a shared outside shower for rinsing off after returning from the beach.

This property is less than 1 block from the beach and the start of the boardwalk. Our north end of the boardwalk hosts the 1st street lifeguard station with bathrooms and first aid. Close by on the boards is Brown's restaurant, famous for their fresh morning donuts & Anthony's Water Ice for those hot beach days. At the opposite end of the block from the beach, there is a deli, restaurant, pizza shop, and ice cream parlor within 1-3 short blocks.

Sheets provided. Additionally, we offer 6 beach tags, beach chairs and umbrella. There may be some old rusty beach cruisers ready to be taken for a ride.
This rental has it all! Central air, great front porch, linens, basic necessities such as tp, paper towels, laundry detergent and more. Best of all... location, location, location AND you can bring your dog!!!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was a great place to stay for our family vacation. It had everything we needed, an amazing porch, so close to the beach and our pup was able to travel with us. The beds were probably some of the most comfortable for a shore house we’ve ever had, and the kids loved their “shark room.”

Great Stay

Comfortable, clean, pet-friendly place on a quiet street at the north end, but still convenient to everything by foot or bike. Great value - had everything we needed to feel at home for a week. It's not luxurious like some of the newer places, but that's not what we were looking for.

Very charming property, very clean, cute beachy vibe without being over decorated. Spent a lot of time on the porch and the street was very quiet and peaceful, especially compared to other places we have stayed. Very bikeable and walkable and near quieter less crowded beach areas. Parking and single shared bathroom were tricky but no real problems.

Tristin’s place is perfect. 2 blocks from the beach and everything you need in a 3 BR. The access takes you directly to the boardwalk at the North end where some of the best donuts ever are sold. My kids and I enjoyed the perfect week.

About the host

Hosted by Tristin Thompson

Host profile image
Hello, I am Tristin Thompson, 3rd generation home owner to this property. I spent my summers in this house as a family of 5 with a collie on the 3rd floor while renters used the 1st and 2nd floor. I was responsible for cleaning the rentals on Saturdays before I could go ride my bike or play on the beach and boardwalk. I reside in Kentucky and only get to visit Ocean City for short durations to get the property ready for the summer or to close it down. I've always loved this house, whether I was staying on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd floor!! (the 3rd floor means attic, lol)

Why they chose this property

This house is an Ocean City original. It is not a rebuild, so it has the comfy feel of an old fashioned visit to the shore. I have modernized it to today's standards but kept the vintage appeal. The location of this property is convenient to all things Ocean City: the beach, the boardwalk, downtown, and local eateries all without getting into your car.

What makes this property unique

Northend location, great 2nd floor porch, central air conditioning, start of the boardwalk and bring your dog!
