About this property

Grayce on Dollhouse Row -a 1920's Original Beach Cottage

Grayce is one of 9 original historical and iconic "dollhouses" on Dollhouse Row in OCNJ. The calming charm of this piece of history, located only 300 ft from the bay, will captivate you the moment you arrive. Every amenity is thought of for you so that rest and relaxation is all you need to do. The 2-story cottage comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed in each of the 2 bedrooms. Read a book in the cozy meditation corner of the master bedroom or in the macrame swing by the front door (250lb max). Savor your morning cup of coffee in our tangerine Adirondack chairs on the front porch while you watch the neighborhood awaken. Or unwind with an evening glass of wine in our newly redone semi-private backyard alcove - complete with ambient lighting and Adirondack chairs. Grill up dinner on our new gas grill to bring to the beach or enjoy in our eat in kitchen that comfortably sits 4-6. Beach tags for 4 along with 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, beach cart, blanket, cooler bag, large beach bag, and beach umbrella are waiting and ready to go in the outside shed. Challenge your friends and family to a game of Paddleball or corn hole! Go for a morning bike ride on the boards with the 2 included beach cruisers (tire pump and tire repair kit are in the shed). Oh and don't forget to shower off in our enclosed outdoor shower after your day at the beach!

The whole energy of Grayce is centered around your comfort. Our goal is to make your stay one of pure replenishment so amenities such as bath towels, bed linens, pillows, and blankets are provided for our guests. All bed pillows and mattresses are covered in waterproof bed bug protectors and are changed in between guests and ALL linen (sheets, comforters, blankets, sham covers, and couch throws) will be laundered using anti-viral techniques to ensure the ultimate level of protection and cleanliness. Both Queen beds feature Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets (which are thought to be the softest sheets in the world! In addition ALL guests of Grayce receive a 40% discount code to use in the future with Cozy Earth!). Waterproof slip covers on the sofa and ottoman are also laundered and changed between guests. The newly redone kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, silverware, serving platters/bowls, bakeware, Charcuterie boards, and cookware along with grill utensils for the outdoor propane grill. Basic spices, sugar/sweetener, and fully stocked coffee nook are provided. Small appliances included: drip coffee maker, pour over coffee maker, Keurig, crock pot, stove top espresso maker, mini waffle maker, toaster, mini griddle, hard boiled egg maker, air fryer, indoor s'more maker, and hand held mixer.

Grayce is the perfect seaside retreat for anyone looking for all that the shore has to offer. She is walking distance to many stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and of course - the world famous Ocean City Boardwalk! Make sure to sample OCNJ's most famous morsels - Manko's Pizza, Johnson's Popcorn, and Kohr Brothers - just to name a few! OC is a family oriented "dry" town however there are liquor stores conveniently located right before coming onto the island. Every water sport is available nearby including whale/dolphin watching, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, fishing, paddle boarding, and more!

The sunset on the bay is a *must*. Simply walk out the back door and within 300 ft you will have a front row seat of the some of the most beautiful sunsets ever! The beach is only 5 short blocks away - a perfect distance for your daily venture to the beach or for a relaxing evening stroll to stargaze on the sand.

Visiting Dollhouse Row is listed in the "The Ocean City New Jersey Bucket List" as one of the top 100 ways to have a real OC experience. Grayce and a few other of the Dollhouses were featured twice on the cover of Ocean City magazine. Be prepared for the popularity of Grayce and her 8 siblings as Dollhouse Row is a favorite of bikers and passerby's!

We will be happy tor provide recommendations for dining and activities -just ask! We also can provide "concierge" service and arrange for alcohol, flowers, snacks (Ask about our AMAZING homemade charcuterie boxes!), etc that can be all ready and waiting for your arrival! We hope you have a peaceful stay at our tiny cottage by the sea!

Relax and Recharge
12.30.23 From the moment upon arrival, it was the little touches that amounted to the excitment of exploring all the fun amenities Ginny had prepared throughout the cottage. She thought of everything one needs to relax and enjoy the shore! Thank you for providing a great start to 2024!

My Favorite
This was my 2nd stay at Grayce and I can only hope that I have many more opportunities to stay here. Ginny is the best and truly thinks of everything to make the stay enjoyable. There is nothing more I could ask for in amenities; Ginny is easy to contact if you do need anything. Grayce is clean, well-stocked with basic essentials (along with many extras), and adorably decorated, cozy, and comfortable! In my opinion, you can't go wrong with booking here!

Second time,even more charming
This was my second time staying at Grayce on Dollhouse row and it did not disappoint. With a newly renovated kitchen area and all the fall charm from before, my stay was cozier than ever! Every inch of the house has a little something to help create a warm, festive fall vibe! The tiny details here did not go unnoticed. Each room had a little something to make the space feel extra festive. The house was impeccably clean and smelled wonderful! And as wonderful as the house was I can’t say enough about it’s host, Ginny! She’s incredible! She’s helpful, available and so happy to do whatever it takes for you to enjoy your stay. She’s truly invested in helping you have the most relaxing and special time away! You will not regret staying here. In fact if you’re like me, you’ll book another stay before your visit is over.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Dollhouse Row when I was in my late 20's. I have always dreamed of owning one of the adorable cottages ever since. In April of 2021, we were able to make that dream a reality. Grayce is literally a dream come true and one that I know others will also love once they see her!

What makes this property unique

Grayce was given her name by her previous owners so of course we had to keep it! We have spent several months upgrading, painting, furnishing, and just making her our's. The reality with owning a 93+yr old home is that it is a constant loving work in progress. So we will forever be tweaking things here and there. I love what we have done and I am so excited for what we have planned!

The very location of Dollhouse Row is unique as well, tucked away between 14th and 15th streets near the bay. It is truly like a hidden alleyway from a fairy tale! You get the peace and quiet of a country lane with the benefit of being close to all that OC has to offer!
