What a great week we had! We love staying in the northern part of Ocean City - still close to restaurants, mini golf, etc., but far from the Boardwalk/night life/younger renters. The street and surrounding ones are quiet and offered a nice area for a morning walk. The street the house is on has a crosswalk across Coastal Highway steps away from public beach access, so it's a straight shot each day. Our feet were in the sand after an under-10-minute walk. The lighted intersection also means that it's an easy left turn onto the house's street - no OCMD U-turns needed.
The house was great for our family of three, but we easily could have had another couple (or a couple more kids) with us and it still would have been comfortable. The living area is bright and open, with no bedrooms adjacent. The kitchen has a nice pantry with open shelving for food and supplies for the week, and the kitchen is stocked with dishes and spices. The main bedroom has a big TV that my gamer husband was glad to see (be sure to bring a HDMI cable so you can connect your gaming system or a laptop for streaming). Having the washer/dryer in the main bedroom's en suite also was really convenient, as I could do late-night laundry without waking my kid in the next bedroom. We loved the rear deck with the canal view and nice-sized screened-in porch (with overhead fan - a great place to enjoy your morning coffee) - plenty of spots for relaxation.
Brian, the owner, was nice and very responsive when we were reserving the house, the week leading up to our reservation, and during our stay. Any questions were promptly and completely answered. I really appreciate being able to work directly with the owner rather than a property management company responsible for multiple properties.
Thanks for a wonderful week - we hope to be able to stay here again!
