We are from the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland and as a result we know a lot about Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island, north. My family has always preferred Fenwick because of its lack of high-rises, the lifeguard protected beaches, its suitability for families, and its ease of access. The home that we used to visit was sold a couple of years ago, so finding a replacement that was large enough, had the right bedroom configurations, that was oceanside, and that we could afford, was difficult. #2 King Street ended up being the perfect solution for our family. Things we liked:
The owner
Large private upstairs bedroom for Nana and Pop Pop
Great bunk room for the kids (ages 3 - 9)
Extra powder room downstairs beside the full bathroom
Plenty of dining space
Porch and deck (Although 100* weather prevented much use)
Proximity to the beach and a beach access parking pass
One street south (James) has a traffic light for access to Route 1
And, as the next to the last street heading north out of Fenwick, there isn't a lot of "infiltration" from folks coming over to the beach from the bay side, so the beach wasn't nearly as crowded as it is further south.
We can honestly recommend this property to others and we hope that this home continues to be offered as a vacation rental and that we are able to come again. Thank you very much and hopefully you can enjoy this home as much as my family did.
