We had a wonderful week at the beach. The home was clean and beautifully updated. There was plenty of space for 3 generations to enjoy the week together. It made it even nicer to be able to bring our senior pup along with us. Overall, the house was on a beautiful quieter street that allowed us to walk to the beach, boardwalk and Asbury without needing to move the car.
The hosts were extremely pleasant, and the check in process was easy. Our dog loved the fenced in yard! This property is in the perfect location to walk to the beach, boardwalk, bay, and the town. Note, there are hardwood floors throughout, which can be difficult to keep clean. A broom and vacuum are available but they really need a swiffer. Our one note for improvement would be cleaner linens. Some were stained, and the mattress protector had not been cleaned. We’d book it again but bring our own linens.

We’re sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Our goal is always for our guests to feel comfortable and well cared for. Our linens are washed with detergent and bleach, with stains pre-treated, and we have consistently received compliments on the cleanliness of our home. If something did not meet your expectations, we would have gladly addressed it right away had we been notified. We’re always happy to help and would have appreciated the opportunity to make things right and improve your stay while you were here.
Great location; we were able to bring our dog: he enjoyed a nice fenced in area. Owner was extremely helpful and available for anything we needed. Will definitely stay again!
We enjoyed another NYE holiday at the shore. The house is perfect for our family. Very clean and the extra Christmas decorations was a nice added touch to keep us in the holiday spirit. We will be back! Thank you!
Everything was wonderful. House was amazing.. outside front porch was our favorite.. walking distance to Everything.. will definitely becoming back next year.
Beautiful 1st Floor Condo on Central Avenue near downtown in Ocean City. Great layout, amazing kitchen, comfortable furniture, and pet friendly. We had an amazing time.

We had never stayed in the north end of Ocean City before and loved the location. Quiet and quaint with a lovely park across the street. Great for walking our dog! Also easy access to downtown and a wonderful farmers market and street fair on Asbury Ave. The home is charming and the front porch was a great place to relax and enjoy the refreshing breeze. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at Grace’s beautiful home. Gorgeous home with all the amenities. Quiet street, Asbury shops close by. Beach is a short 10 minute walk. Fenced in yard for your fur baby is a huge plus. My little yorkie didn’t want to leave. Communication with Grace was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much Maria! We hope to see you all come back soon.
This was our second time staying and the location can’t be beat. The property looks great after the remodel, and we were very comfortable as a family of 3. I really appreciate dog-friendly rentals, and this one was very dog friendly. We’ve stayed here before, so we knew what to expect, but there’s not much insulation between floors, so you do hear even normal walking and talking in the apartment above. It was fine for us, but if you’re sensitive to noise, might be something to think about. Overall, another great stay!!!
A perfect location for beachgoing: near boardwalk, an excellent coffee shop, local shops, and short drive to nature preserves, dog beach, and surrounding attractions. The house is well-stocked for foodies, with ample kitchen gear for the chef in the group. (We took advantage of the crock pot!) Comfortable both in- and outside for small gatherings. The owner was responsive, responsible, and welcoming throughout our stay. All in all, a good choice for our family over the long Thanksgiving weekend.

My family and I liked everything about our stay at this condo. The neighborhood is charming, the yard is lovely and the condo was perfect for us. The photos are very good but the real thing is better. It all works and you can see the attention to detail. Grace is an excellent host and guided us from beginning to end. We look forward to returning in future. Thank you, Grace
We had a great time during our week in OCNJ! This is our second time staying at this location. We especially like it because we can take our dog. It’s very comfortable for hanging out in the morning and evening. We cooked in for dinner and had everything we needed between the kitchen and grill. The location is a real selling point. You can walk or ride a bike to most anywhere you want to go. We enjoy exploring the north neighborhoods - good eats at Barefoot Market, TJs and Island Grille. Plenty of routes for long dog walks. It was a great week.

Cozy, Comfy Home
This is great home! My family and I enjoyed staying there over Memorial Day Weekend. So many extra features that other houses lack, including a sprayer at the front of the house to remove the sand from your feet, the gorgeous outdoor shower, the comfy couches and propane fire pit in the back, completely fenced in for dogs, and the inclusion of linens. One thing that would have been helpful is a parking spot in the back. Luckily, we found one on the side street, but I would imagine it would be more challenging to find a spot in the summer.

We would love to have more parking in the back however, the city doesn't techically consider that approved parking. In the summer most guests don't have an issue finding parking on the street. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again. Thank you for choosing our property and we are glad you enjoyed your stay☺️
We thought this unit was just about perfect for our family group of four adults, a 16-month-old and a dog, and could only have been improved if it were a few blocks closer to the beach and the boardwalk. The kitchen had a very sensitive smoke alarm, and we'd suggest a note alerting renters to turn on the fan, even when using the toaster. We enjoyed the gas grill, the fenced in yard for the dog, and being just a few blocks from shopping on Asbury Avenue.
Perfect for a family of 3 with a 5 year old. Could have easily slept two more people and been comfortable. The place was clean and has everything you would need in the kitchen. The walk to the beach is not bad at all, 10-12 minutes tops. We decided to rent bikes for the week which was a great decision, it saved us 40 minutes a day of beach/play time. Something to think about. 4th street beach is at the quieter end of the boardwalk with Oves being right there. About a 20 minute walk to Wonderland Pier. The Farmers Market next door on Wednesday was such an easy mid week grocery grab. First time staying around 4th Street and I really enjoyed it. Will book again.
I love rentals that are dog friendly, so I always want to give them the benefit of the doubt. First the good- this place has a great location, very central to town and the beach. It has basically everything you need (barring a dishwasher, but we don’t mind washing our dishes by hand.) There’s plenty of street parking so not having a space isn’t an issue. My trouble was the mattress- it was so hard that it was literally like sleeping on the floor. I barely slept all week and then to make it worse, our final night the cleaning crew or someone was cleaning and vacuuming the second floor at midnight, making it sound like someone was sawing through the ceiling in the middle of the night. There are warnings not to make noise after 10 because it’s a historic house for good reason. We heard every footstep or moved chair upstairs but the renters fortunately went to bed not too long after us most nights. The cleaning was the kicker. I would consider renting an upper floor next time. We had fun at this house, other than sleep troubles.

HI Carolyn, I am sorry about the mattress sometimes its a matter of preference. I replaced all the mattress last year. Please could you tell me, which room? I will check that matress and just to note cleaning staff only come on Saturdays mornings. Those guests upstairs left early that Friday. I did reach out to you by text and hope to hear back from you soon. I appreciate your feedback and the business.
Thank you

The apartment is very comfortable, clean and cozy. We booked it for a long weekend over Labor Day and we brought our basset hound. First, I loved that it is located in the historic neighborhood where most of the homes still retain their original charm. We loved walking the dog and admiring the houses. The entire yard is fenced for your furbabies. It is located only a few short blocks within walking distance to Asbury Avenue and the shops and restaurants. It's a bit of a walk (15 minutes?) to the beach and boardwalk especially when you are hauling all the beach gear. The bathrooms are upgraded as well as the kitchen. The kitchen is tight if you want to cook but there is a nice Weber grill outside. We didnt do any cooking though. The beds are comfy. There are TVs in every room but didnt have any need to watch TV. Overall, great stay and would highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Grace
I grew up with my summers down in Ocean City where we rented a couple weeks at a time. The youngest of six kids we did pretty well having our vacations down here. We had big family gatherings, beautiful days at the beach, and the nightlife of walking the boardwalk. My mother always loved Ocean City, I told her one day I would own a house down here. This place makes me feel close to her. Its a beautiful house and a dream of mine come true. Its just simple, i want to share the joy of our Shore home with all of you in hopes that you find the magical in Ocean City, N.J. as we did as a children and as we still do.
