Place was great and in perfect location between crabcake factory and the beach. Parking was great. The only reason why I was hesitant to leave a review because I don’t want it to be more popular and limit the amount of access for us in the future for booking

We loved staying here!

My boyfriend and I stayed here while visiting for a family trip and it was amazing! She let us check in an hour early and when we entered it was incredibly clean and smelled wonderful! I love how close it is to the beach! But if you are coming for July 4th, be aware it can get noisy from teens and such.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m glad to hear you and your boyfriend had a great stay and enjoyed the clean space and beach proximity. I always try to accommodate early check-ins when I can, so I’m happy that helped! And thank you for the heads-up for future guests about the July 4th noise—definitely a lively time in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Hanson

Host profile image
While growing up and attending college in upstate NY, I took road trips with friends to Ocean City, MD and have countless fun memories of the beach life. Through the years we have traveled to OC from Western MD for weekend getaways with family and always dreamed of owning a place near the ocean. Eric and I have been married nearly 25 years and have two teenagers, one in college and one ready to go. We're beyond blessed to own this beautiful, clean, and spacious unit just steps to the relaxation and peace the waves always bring to us. My dream has always been to own a small condo near the ocean where we can escape and share this dream with others. We seek to provide you an affordable getaway that's convenient to restaurants, shopping, miniature-golf and memories of a lifetime. We take great pride in our immaculate condo and its numerous amenities and wish you the best of times on Assawoman Dr.!

Why they chose this property

I've enjoyed long weekend beach trips with my sister and daughter over the past several summers and we offer what we always looked for when we were searching: cleanliness, space for 6, and location on a beach block. Dragging a heavy beach cart across Coastal Highway, waiting for the light in the hot sun, and running off the beach when a storm was coming were NOT the highlights of our getaways! This property offers a private walkway to the beach from the covered parking area and is perfect for travelers like us that love a short walk, especially at nighttime, to hear the ocean and view the stars.

What makes this property unique

Did we mention 50 steps to the beach?
