Off-street parking (3 - 4 vehicles) is available next to the house on the side yard

If you need more, there is free street parking all around, you'll just need to find it. We are so close to the beach, that during the day parking is hard to come by (hint: if you park a little further away than you are comfortable with, in the evening spaces nearby usually open up).

Bus stop at each north and south block; Bike rentals close by.

Access to the unit requires climbing a flight of stairs.

Situated close to numerous Ocean City attractions, this location offers unbeatable convenience.

Be sure to secure your spot on the beach early to catch all the action!

**READ ME** We recommend that EVERYONE get trip protection for any unforeseen need to cancel your reservation. This is strictly for your peace of mind! Get a policy that states “coverage/cancellation for any reason.” If you do experience an unforeseen circumstance and the need to cancel is real, you will be RELIEVED you did and you won’t be upset with us. Be upset with yourself, if you don’t get it! You can do a search and use whoever, but we have found the site (travelinsurance) to be affordable and about as simplistic as it can be. They are just a recommendation; we have no affiliation with them. We have a security camera by front door and back door which will be on during your stay. We also have Minut noise monitoring system to prevent parties, damage, neighbor complaints, track temperature and humidity to give you a 5-star experience.

Spacious Stay
My brother and I booked this house for a three day weekend with our friends. We had a total of 18 people staying in the house, which is a tough number to accommodate. We had to share a few of the larger sized beds in order to fit everyone comfortably, but that was something we all agreed on prior to arrival. If it weren't for the car show going on (which was super cool btw), we would have had a few of the guys sleep on the couches in the living room. It was just too noisy for that. Overall, the place was exactly what we were looking for in terms of location, cleanliness, and large common areas such as the living room/dinning area & wrap around porch. The hosts (Matt & Julie) communicate very well and will respond to any of your questions or concerns in a timely manner. Additionally, their check-in/check-out processes were extremely easy and straightforward. This house is best suited for a large family or group of friends looking to be within walking distance of the beach, boardwalk and the local bars and restaurants. I look forward to coming back again next year!

Great location!
I stayed at the house with a big group of friends and we had a great time. The location was perfect, walking to the beach and boardwalk which was especially convenient for our kids. Julie and Matt were also super communicative / accessible, and were overall great hosts!

Needs improvements
This was a weekend for our family, 10 adults (my wife and I, our four children and their spouse's), and five of our grandchildren, to all stay together at the same house to celebrate 3 birthdays and a wedding anniversary. The only two positive comments I have about this property is the Location and, the size was accommodating. There were many Cobwebs on ceiling/walls (wife vacuumed what she could see) an ant issue coming through the hole in the floor on the corner of second floor entry. Found roaches throughout second floor (had to purchase ant and roach spray). Furniture very used and out dated throughout the entire house. Second floor couches and pillows were disgustingly dirty and showing many stains. Carpets also very used and outdated. I would suggest an exterminator and upholstery/carpet cleaning before the next renters. For the price that I paid I was very disappointed, and my family and I were definitely not impressed. We will not be considering this property for future vacations to Ocean City.

Pre-wedding vacation
My fiancé and I planned a pre wedding vacation with some of our friends and had the best time. It was the perfect location right across from brass balls and the boardwalk/beach was a 5 min walk. Only about a 10 min drive from Fager’s island and Seacrets. The house was perfect for what we needed it for. Plenty of space/beds!

Lovely place for a family reunion
My family stayed here for a family reunion/throwback beach vacation. The house is large and spacious, but well laid out and there was room both for everyone to gather and for people to take a break before jumping back into the fun. There were twelve of us and the main living area allowed all of us to gather for meals, while having two well appointed kitchens made meal prep much easier. There was always a shady spot on the large verandas and several of us often enjoyed relaxing breezes there. The house is located a block off the boardwalk, which means it was quiet while still being close to everything. It's about half-way between both ends of the boardwalk and there are several shops, restaurants, and activities within walking distance. You don't have to drive anywhere once you're there, unless you want to go on a day trip or to the supermarket. The owners, Julie and Matt, were a delight to communicate with and very responsive to any concerns we had. They want to make sure their guests enjoy their stay, so don't hesitate to reach out to them with any questions or concerns you may have both before and during your stay. In all, we were all very happy with our stay and hope to do this again someday.

Wonderful week in Ocean City Md
Great place to stay for a large family. There were 13 of us and we had plenty of room. Everything you need is at the house except food and drink. Only a two minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. Would highly recommend 👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing Christmas Getaway
Our family of 17, which consisted of 4 generations stayed at this property for our Christmas getaway. The trip was all about making memories and enjoying family. This property made it so easy for us to obtain our goal. We had plenty of room to accommodate us all comfortably. The pictures were also accurately depicted. The house also came with some pleasant surprises such as excellent cookware and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Most of all, it was CLEAN! Along with the pleasant surprises came a MAJOR BONUS. Matt and Julie were phenomenal communicators. They made the check-in and check-out process seamless. They were friendly and sincerely cared about us having a wonderful experience at their property. If I had any critique, the house decor is a bit dated and you can’t gain access to all 3 levels from one entry point. Also, the floors on the 3rd floor are a bit un level. As noted, it didn’t take away from the experience- which is why I can honestly rate this 5 stars. We are already talking about booking this home again during the summer months. This home is perfectly located by the boardwalk walking distance. Thanks again! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Easy Weekend Getaway
We were looking for a nice location for a bachelor party, and we got that. Bike week was mind-numbingly loud, but besides that we enjoyed our stay and had plenty of fun. Home was well-taken care of.

Amazing porch with ocean view!
Family friendly corner property 1 block walk to the OC boardwalk and beach! Extremely well equipped kitchen. Parking for multiple cars. One block walk to the boardwalk and beach. But the best part was the wrap around porch, always providing a spot for sun or shade morning and afternoon, with a great breeze! Our favorite spot!

Great property in a Fantastic Location
Matt and Julie were very welcoming and have a fantastic property. We rented both units in late April for a family get together and could not have been more satisfied. House is clean and comfortable with multiple large decks and plenty of space. Beds were comfortable and contain thoughtful upgrades like a USB charger/power strips so that you don't have to find an outlet. Although not on the water, you can see the ocean from the decks and it is only a block away. Highly recommend. .
