About this property

Downtown Modern Loft Home - Within Walking to Boardwalk & Beaches - Pets OK.

This beautiful, vaulted-ceiling loft home features three bedrooms (master bedroom loft overlooks living room); two full baths; Cathedral Ceiling living room with two-story, floor-to-ceiling, sound-proofed windows and hardwood floors; full kitchen, dining room, and additional Family (TV) room with hardwood floors, front porch and large rear deck with gas grill, table and chairs, and greenery.

Furniture is a fine mix of new and antique pieces. It is located 4 blocks from the center of the world-famous Ocean City Boardwalk and award-winning beaches. We are just one block from the downtown Ocean City shopping and restaurant district between 10th and 11th Streets on West Avenue.

This 'downtowner' is a must-see for families looking to rent an affordable LARGE home for vacation, but still have the convenience of walking to all Ocean City attractions. This is not your typical rental. It's a home away from home. This smoke-free property rents quickly for the summer season.

The location was great - easy to walk to the Boardwalk and other shops and restaurants nearby. Almost no need to move the car unless you wanted to go somewhere besides Ocean City. The check-in process was super smooth. The owner sent videos to explain the nuances of the door locks, the TVs, etc. - so helpful!

Our experience exceeded our expectations! This is a beautiful & unique home. The photos barely do it justice. Very spacious; plenty of room to spread out, even on the outdoor balcony & deck. Communication with the host was great. Super helpful & responsive. It had everything we needed. We skipped on the linen rental and brought our own, but it’s a very convenient offer in case you don’t want to go to the trouble. Plenty of walkable shops nearby, and even a Dunkin right across the street. Parking was provided in the rear driveway which was also very helpful. Overall, we were very comfortable during our stay and would definitely consider returning next time we plan to be in that area.

Amazing time in Ocean City at Steve’s place! Before we arrived Steve sent very clear information about parking, entering the home, basically everything you need to know when you first arrive somewhere new. The home itself is super centrally located—we walked to the boardwalk, beach, shops, restaurants, and morning coffee spots! The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Steve was very attentive during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and plan to return!

Steve is a very gracious host, and was quick to act on a couple minor things that occurred at the beginning of our stay. Overall very nice place to stay. Master suite is a loft, and open to downstairs living, which needs to be put into his add.

We liked the size and location of the home. It is next to Asbury Ave., we sat on the front porch a lot, Steve is very nice & told us about the fireworks from the bay which we watched from front porch, the walk to beach is good, there is a restaurant called Cinco de Mayo 3 houses down that is great. The home is decorated nicely too. We would stay there again. Steve is a pleasure to work with.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Aug, 2023
We enjoyed having you as guests and appreciate the positive review. For future guests reading this review's headline: The house is professionally cleaned and turned-over within the short, 4-hour period between check-outs and check-ins each week. We are pro-active with the cleaning staff when we receive comments such as the headline in this review. We host approximately 30+ families throughout the year - weekly and weekends in the off-season. That's a lot of people and furry friends. The carpets and furniture are professionally cleaned each spring before the season begins. Obviously, there isn't time to have carpets and furniture cleaned during the season, since there would be no time for drying. We are a pet-friendly home, and we provide a spot cleaner for our guests to use for any pet mishaps. The bedroom carpets will be replaced in the Spring of 2020. All other floors in the house are hardwood with "oriental-style" area rugs (cleaned each spring). Unlike most all other "pet friendly" properties, we receive great reviews and comments about the cleanliness of our home as seen in the other reviews on this and other listing sites. I am always available to our guests should they find something not to their standards. We aim to please and will do everything we can to make sure our guests are happy and satisfied with our home. They just have to communicate any issues that aren't quite right for them, so we can have an opportunity to make it right. Thank you and we look forward to hosting your family and your furry, house-trained friends.

Steve was a great host. A huge home. We certainly enjoyed staying there Loved the 2 Living rooms. Out the back door and onto Asbury ave. Lots of neat shops and good places within walking distance for eats. A little walk to the boardwalk but certainly doable for us. Would like to come back again

Wonderful Place & Neighborhood

I stayed at Steve’s place with 7 other people for my 26th birthday and we all had a BLAST. The space was not only huge, but beautiful inside. We enjoyed lounging around, playing games, having breakfast together, all throughout the stay. Plus, the area is a short walk to the ocean city boardwalk which is 10x better than Atlantic. Would stay again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Kearns - OWNER

Host profile image
Hello, I am Stephen Kearns, a semi-retired Broadway and Concert tour manager. Over the span of my career, I have managed Broadway and family entertainment shows including the 'Grease' National Tour starring Frankie Avalon, 'The Will Rogers Follies' National Tour starring Larry Gatlin, 'The Color Purple' National Tour, 'Sesame Street Live', 'The Wiggles', and many more. That's a picture of Frankie Avalon and me in San Diego.

Why they chose this property

My Grandparents owned a summer cottage in Ocean City. We spent our summers 'down the shore.' When it came time to buy a home, I chose Ocean City. My friends in show business can easily visit from NYC, and its a great location to host friends and family.

What makes this property unique

One of the things that I love about our home is the fact that there are TWO large living areas separated by French doors. Most properties in Ocean City only have one great room. The place just has a good, comfortable vibe. Not your typical OC rental.
