Steps from the pristine Gardens beach. A rare find. Welcome to The Seagate.

Escape the ordinary in this super-clean, beautifully decorated, single family home on a quiet street in the Gardens. Feel the breeze as you enjoy the calming sound of surf and the ocean views from the upper deck. After sunrise yoga on the beach, walk along the ocean with your morning Nespresso. This home has everything you need. Just bring your bathing suit!

Enjoy 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2200 sq. ft. of open concept living with plenty of space to spread out. Dine inside or out, serve meals with ease in our large chef’s kitchen with Gaggenau appliances. Or for the outdoor chef, the 6-burner stainless steel grill awaits. There is plenty of room for lounging, al fresco dining or just a little quiet time.

The setup is convenient with kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and laundry on first floor, providing easy access for guests who have difficulty navigating steps. The upper level boasts a large bedroom with master bath, entertainment area with vaulted ceiling, wet bar and large deck with ocean views.

Traveling with children? Plenty of sleeping and hang out space on first floor. Have little ones that need to sleep in the same room as their parents? Two bedrooms are ready with rollaway beds.
Short on car space? Just bring your overnight bag. Yoga mats, boogie boards, bikes, beach gear and beach tags are ready for your vacationing pleasure. Plenty of family games to enjoy on cool summer nights.
Do you have a fur baby? No need to leave your pup behind. Dogs are welcome.
Return from the beach to find a refreshing, private outdoor shower. Hardwood floors throughout make cleanliness a breeze and linens are provided.

Whether from an hour away or half a world away, The Seagate is a special retreat. A short ride from New York, Philadelphia or DC, and you’ll experience a reprieve from the fast pace of everyday life. Visitors from abroad who want to experience it all can make The Seagate home base in the quaint seaside town of Ocean City established two centuries ago.

This is what our first guests in December 2020 had to say: "We LOVED your place!! We have rented places in Ocean City for 12 plus yrs but your place was hands down the best, a 5 star hotel with all the amenities. The house was clean, fresh, nicely decorated and well stocked. Good location too. We will definitely be back."

Since 2002, we’ve called the The Gardens of Ocean City our second home, where we savor the peacefulness of the shore as a retreat from our busy lives. We are thrilled to share the experience with others at The Seagate. Enjoy the tranquility of the sea, children playing in the sand, the topnotch restaurants of Margate, the fun of the boardwalk and best of all, making special memories with family and friends. We hope you enjoy your time in Ocean City as much as we do! Follow us on Instagram @theseagatehouse.

Best ocean house in Ocean City, NJ!

This is a fantastic place to stay. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The location is in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood on the north end of the island- 2 houses from the beach! The owners were extremely responsive - even sending us a PDF of the oven we were initially confused by how to operate. There were even food and water bowls provided for dogs. This is the BEST rental we’ve been to in our 30+ years of renting at Ocean City!

Amazing vacation rental, steps from the beach

This was our second time staying at this wonderful house, and it truly has everything-beach chairs, towels, lots of cooking equipment, everything needed for a comfortable stay and plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Chris, the owner, was very responsive when we had questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home; great location!

We had a wonderful time at Chris and family's home in the Garden area of Ocean City! Chris was great to communicate with me before and during our visit. The house is lovely, and the beds very comfortable. My daughter needed a table to work on from the house. Chris bought one and had it delivered to the house. We cooked most of our meals there. My husband grilled on Chris' nice gas grill. The location was great! It was right down the street from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet.
