Walk to beach and shops! 3BR/2BA, sleeps 10, Pet Friendly, linens included

I’m Maryellen, your host here in beautiful Ocean City, New Jersey. I’ve been a property owner in OCNJ since 2011, and for over 14 years I’ve gained firsthand experience in every part of the short-term rental world—from renovations and maintenance to guest support and daily operations.

As a local resident, I know the community, neighborhoods, seasonal trends, and what guests look for when choosing a home at the shore. My goal is simple: to make your stay enjoyable, comfortable, and worry-free.

I’m hands-on, detail-oriented, and passionate about creating a smooth and welcoming experience for every guest. Over the years, I’ve overseen numerous property upgrades, from full interior remodels to exterior improvements and complete rebuilds—all designed with comfort, safety, and experience in mind.

I also work with a trusted network of cleaners, handymen, and service providers to ensure every home is well cared for and perfectly prepared for your arrival. Communication is just as important to me, so I’m proactive, transparent, and always ready to help when you need assistance.

My hosting philosophy is simple: owner-minded care, guest-focused service. I treat every property as if it were my own and every stay as an opportunity to create a memorable beach getaway. Whether it’s ensuring spotless cleanings, maintaining high-quality amenities, or offering helpful local insight, I strive to deliver an experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and effortless.

Outside of hosting, I enjoy staying active in the Ocean City community, connecting with other homeowners, and continually learning how to enhance the guest experience.

What You Can Expect When Staying With Me:
✓ A well-maintained, thoughtfully prepared home
✓ Clear and responsive communication
✓ Local insight and reliable guidance
✓ A warm, caring, guest-first hosting style
✓ Peace of mind knowing your host is local and experienced
