Bachelor Party

I had 13 men in this house for my bachelor party and we had an amazing time. The house was beautiful with views of the beach and Ocean City. I’ve been vacationing here my whole life and this property is one of the best I’ve stayed in simply because of the views and layout. Shawn was very responsive and pleasant throughout our communication. On a side note, the neighbors are awesome! I recommended 100% and would definitely go back.

Thanksgiving 23’

We stayed last year at the same location. There has been a significant amount of upgrading done ! New kitchen and appliances, flooring the house has nothing Pine planking and it Works well throughout the house, Since we stay for Thanksgiving, I think that the basic cleaning isn’t done, a few things that are a good thing, Beds are made with additional Blankets, there are a few issues regarding the Deck & balconies, however the Supplies to replace the Deck are there. So it seems that the Deck and Balconies will be addressed We enjoy the house and the location, it gives you a Sense of Summer, with The views, however there is a need for Basic Cable or a better connection instructions, there’s no live local Channel or standard channels,

Robert, glad you enjoyed another Thanksgiving in our beach home and pointed out new flooring/carpet, brand new kitchen and appliances updates since your last stay as well as your requests from last year like extra blankets etc. There is cable, you just need to change the input. Quick message would've resolved the "issue" even though there was no issue. YES, the decks are in the plans on getting replaced, however old decks are just old wooden decks, not sure what issues you speak of. The place has been cleaned prior to your arrival as well as beds made for you. Hope this addresses all of your concerns.

Great location but unit needs work.

The good news about this property is its location. Situated right next to the Hilton on the beach. Unfortunately, there is more bad news than good news. First of all, the owner charges $150 for a “beach necessity package“. What that means is he leaves the shed door unlocked and you get to use his beach chairs and umbrellas. Secondly, if the unit is ready early they hold you to a 4 PM check-in. If you want to check in earlier it’s $25 per hour. The unit is very outdated. Needs a lot of work. Very difficult to walk on the deck and stairs barefooted. Nails are popping out and wood is very dry and prone to splinters(which happened to my wife.) Nearly every other unit in the complex has already replaced their deck and railing. Not here. Carpeting throughout the house. Should have been replaced long ago with hardwood or laminate floors. Better for sand. In spots they also smell like cat urine. Listing also said bicycles are included. They are not. Curtains in a couple of rooms are completely shredded and some could not be opened or closed. Behind a couple of dressers we found a cup, an old toothbrush, a used sock and a washcloth. The listing should have mentioned that there are four levels to this home. You need to climb 15 stairs to get to each level. I was traveling with my 94-year-old mother and my in-laws. This property should be avoided for anyone who has stairclimbing issues. It’s pretty clear the money being made on the weekly rentals are not being reinvested back into the property.

Jim, thank you for staying at our beach property. Glad we could let you check in early for No Additional charge and you are still complaining about it....Beach necessities package is optional, you could've brought your own stuff... Yes, additional services come with additional cost. You are absolutely correct, the place needs updating and we are well aware of it. We purchased it in April and unfortunately had limited time for repairs and updating to make it rent ready. But you also paid very low accommodation fare for the 4 nights you have stayed, so low, one bedroom hotel would have cost you more than you have paid for a 4 bedroom oceanfront place. In the future you might want to inquire if there are stairs to climb if you are traveling with someone who has difficulty going up and down the steps, just a suggestion. There are stairs visible in the listing pictures, but you could have also asked before booking. Thanks for your suggestions on how we should update OUR home and what kind of floors and decking to install...

Thanksgiving Get away

The only negatives would be for Seniors the Stairs and the Mattress and the Plastic mattress covers. You can’t get a better Location, sand from the Door to the Ocean! Fabulous Sun rise. Plenty of Room for Large Families A little pricey for the time of year! And the TV systems are complicated, every room is different and can get Standard Channels! The cleaning could be better, the Recliners are a Snack collector and needs to be opened and under and vacuum the sides! Heavy Blankets would be good for this time of year or let renters know that there are no Heavy Blankets. Otherwise this could be a New Holiday get away! Thank You for sharing your Property.
