Great place to stay!

Loved our stay at this location! Everything was great. Rooms were clean, and the place was stocked well to make the stay smooth. Host was friendly and helpful. Appreciated the notice that the property was ready for check-in a little early. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, silverware, appliances, etc for cooking. Would definitely stay at this location again!

Lovely condo

Beach Box was clean, comfortable and convenient. The deck was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. The condo was well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were very responsive to our questions and quickly resolved any minor concerns (like what kind of coffee maker there is…it’s a Keurig!)We look forward to staying at the Beach Box again!

We immediately understood why Tom and Melena call this their "Beach Box" -- it's like your own private habitation cube with a direct view of the beach and ocean! And it's not even physically possible to see any of your neighbors when you're out on the balcony LOL! It's extremely private in that regard. Other places we've stayed at have metal dividers between the balconies that have large gaps in them, but at the "Beach Box" it's full concrete walls all around. It's like being inside of an adorable shoebox diorama, looking out and watching the waves and hearing them amplified by the walls of the balcony. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. I'm attaching a picture of the amazing "moonrise" we saw, which was a bonus on top of the usual morning sunrise!

Relaxing Beach Vacation

Our family very much enjoyed our stay at the condo. The children immediately commented on how much it offered, and we agree, with the fun whimsical beach decor to the added amentities of games, seating, and beautiful view. The extras provided made it an entirely stress free stay and we appreciated not having to pack our entire home just to vacation. It was comfortable and thoughtful touches made it easy for the guest to enjoy the maximum relaxation of the ocean and beach. The location cannot be beat. We will definitely be back at the Beach Box.

LOVED IT!

Rarely are online descriptions truly accurate, but this one was. The condo is very nicely decorated and has everything you could possibly need. And the view? Oh my goodness. It couldn't get much better! The beach is right there - feet away. Communication with Tom was easy and fast. I do wish the elevator didn’t require a key, so you don’t have to walk up to the condo, get the key, and go back to the rest of your stuff, but that’s not the owner’s fault. I’m a stickler for cleanliness and the entire place was CLEAN! We did find long hairs in some places but, because the place was otherwise spotless, I’m assuming the hair was from the cleaning person and not sure that can really be helped. I’m hoping that the hubs and I can stay here on our way back from Hampton next month, after we take our youngest back to school. If you’re on the fence about this place, get off and book it!

This condo is exactly what it looks like online. I will be staying there again because it was just what I needed. It was clean, they had coffee pods for the Keurig, they have a ton of different kitchen appliances if you need them, the hosts were tremendous with communication. I would not hesitate to stay anywhere that these hosts are responsible for. It’s not fussy, it’s not fancy, it feels like being at home. Fun additions to the home that I did not take advantage of were a modern Atari system with a bunch of built-in games and directions on how to use the whole thing and I think a Nintendo with built-in games. Their selection of books ranges from a board book to fiction and nonfiction books from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Dave Berry - and everything in between. They also have some board games and books about Ocean City, Maryland. I didn’t need any of those things cause I brought my own books and sat out on the balcony with nothing impeding my view of the amazing sunrises and waves hitting the beach. The parking lot and on the exterior of the building itself are well – lit and I was comfortable comfortable coming and going by myself when it was dark outside. I ordered groceries while I was there, and the delivery person had no trouble finding the place. The only thing I would add if it were my own personal place is a full length mirror. And maybe there is actually one and I didn’t see it. :-)
