About this property

Beach Block, Pet Friendly, Big Open Porch! Now booking for 2025

This is a second floor unit recently available for rental, since dad can no longer use the steps. It has 3 comfortable bedrooms and open space from the living area through the dining room into a newly renovated and open kitchen. It has a classic Jersey shore feel with updated furniture and central air conditioning! All bedrooms have ceiling fans along with fans in the living room and dining room. New washer and dryer are available. There is a back porch and Weber grill provided for cooking. The highlighted feature is the outside front porch for people watching, reading a book, taking a nap or relaxing in the ocean air with a few cocktails. The property also has a shared outside shower and changing room for rinsing off after returning from the beach.

This property is 1 block from the beach and the start of the boardwalk. Our north end of the boardwalk hosts the 1st street lifeguard station with bathrooms and first aid. Close by on the boards is Brown's restaurant, famous for their fresh morning donuts, and Anthony's Water Ice for those hot beach days. At the opposite end of our block from the beach, there is a deli, restaurant, pizza shop, and ice cream parlor within 1-3 short blocks.

Additionally, we offer 6 beach tags, beach chairs and umbrella. There may be some old rusty beach cruisers ready to be taken for a ride.
This rental has it all! Central air, great front porch, linens, basic necessities provided and location, location, location!!!! And accepts pets.

Well-Suited for Our Stay
This is an older but updated property that is within easy walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The home was clean and extremely well stocked with everything from cleaning products and towels to a beach umbrella. We loved the covered front porch and were also happy to have great TV service so we could watch the Olympics when we returned from the boardwalk in the evening. The owners were easy to work with and very helpful both remotely and onsite. Literally the only issue we had was parking because there is no driveway or alley. We highly recommend this property.

1 block to the beach in OCNJ
Awesome Memorial Day weekend with my husband and 2 kids. Home is conveniently located 1 block to the beach. Boardwalk has a breakfast/ lunch/ donut shop (Brown’s) a couple blocks from the house. Family friendly block, house came with towels and linens and kitchen was modern. Washer and dryer also brand new in unit. Beautiful front porch with plenty of seating for coffee or after beach cocktail. Loved our stay!

Wonderful beach vacation
The house was very clean and the kitchen is filled with equipment for home cooking and baking. A quick walk to the wide beach and at the start of the Ocean City two and a half mile long boardwalk. Cruiser bicycles were available and added to our enjoyment of Ocean City. We were in the second floor apartment. There is a long set of stairs - for us it added to the visit as we were looking for an active get away. But they might prove a challenge for some.

Our stay at Tristin’s home was just what we needed finish our summer vacation. We loved hanging out on the porch in the morning and evenings. Clean and cozy with easy access to the beach, Brown’s and all of our favorite spots in the Gardens. She was very communicative and easy to reach at any time. We’ll definitely be back.

Great Stay
Comfortable, clean, pet-friendly place on a quiet street at the north end, but still convenient to everything by foot or bike. Great value - had everything we needed to feel at home for a week. It's not luxurious like some of the newer places, but that's not what we were looking for.

Good house in a good location
This house is right near the beach/boardwalk which is always where you want to be in OCNJ. Our family enjoyed our time at the house as well as our dogs. The house is a little smaller than expected and is on street parking only which can be tricky at times. Besides those two critiques, this is a great pet-friendly house and we would definitely rent it again.

Great vacation!
We loved the location, close to beach and boardwalk, we loved the porch, place was clean, all basics of food and staples were provided. Tristin provided extras, including bikes, umbrellas, grill, beach chairs, sand toys. He was a great communicator, with a friend on-site for any minor issues. It is an old property, but functional for our needs. We have many memories from this great vacation!

Very nice place to stay
We were very happy with the property, the location and the price. The only thing we were not as pleased about is the requirements to make the beds upon arrival and wash the towels before departure. I dont believe these were mentioned on the VRBO listing. I understand why they are required, but for a busy family, it is one extra thing to worry about. The landlords were very kind and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Long Weekend
We stayed for a long weekend (Friday-Monday) in late September. The weather was perfect and so was this listing! We were able to get in earlier than 4pm, and the place was spotless. This was our girls trip. It was me, my sister and my mother. We each had a room to stay in, and the kitchen, dining area/living room was plenty big for us. It’s a block and a half from the beach, but we really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful homes along the way. It’s also a very quiet street at the very start of the boardwalk. So that was nice as well. We will definitely be booking this with Tristin again for next years girls trip. I highly recommend!

Great spot for family w pet
We really enjoyed our stay. First of all the booking process was easy and communication from owner was great. We didn’t have a single issue or concern with the property. Was exactly how listed. Location is great for easy beach and end of boardwalk access (we prefer being a bit away from the craziness of center boardwalk) and worked well for our dog also (not too far to the dog beach on the long port side of the bridge). We would 100% visit again.

About the host

Hosted by tristin thompson

Host profile image
Hello, I am Tristin Thompson, 3rd generation home owner to this property. I spent my summers in this house on the 3rd floor while tenants rented the 1st and 2nd floor. I was responsible for cleaning the rentals on Saturdays before I could go ride my bike or play on the beach and boardwalk. I reside in Kentucky and only get to visit Ocean City for short durations to get the property ready for the summer or to close it down. I've always loved this house, whether I was on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd floor!!

Why they chose this property

This house is an Ocean City original. It wasn't knocked down and rebuilt, but it has the comfy feel of an old fashioned visit to the shore, but with modern amenities to take it to a classy level. The location of this property is convenient to all things Ocean City: the beach, the boardwalk, downtown, and local eateries without even getting into your car!

What makes this property unique

Great location, great 2nd floor porch, central air conditioning and the boardwalk starts on this street!
