Perfect Getaway!

Alison's house is adorable!! She really puts a lot time and thought into her decor. I appreciated this because it created such a nice atmosphere vs. some rentals that are just bare bones. The front porch and front yard were my favorite; comfortable and clean furniture and the house is set back from the road so it's quiet and relaxing. The location was great-such a quick walk to Asbury Avenue which is where the local downtown shops and restaurants are. It was also nice to go for a run on the 9th street bridge in the mornings. Alison was also very responsive and informative through the whole process. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things! I will definitely be coming back!

Cute Cottage in Ocean City

My husband, pup, and I spent a couple of relaxing days in this cottage at the Jersey Shore. The size was perfect for the three of us and the fenced yard was a bonus. The cottage was in walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. The owner, Allison, was a pleasure to work with stores, and the boardwalk. Alison

Perfect for long weekend

We love Ocean City and typically stay in the South End. We wanted to have our pup stay with us this trip so this was a good choice. Owner is terrific-easy to reach and responsive. Location is on a rather busy street, set back from the street. House is tiny, well stocked with one small bathroom. Overall very comfortable for a short stay. We will bring bikes next trip!

Charming, Comfortable, and Convenient

I live in Florida and visit my mom every summer. This year, we decided to get away for a few days in Ocean City, NJ. We needed a first floor option for my elderly mom & pet-friendly accommodations for my dog. With its fenced in yard, convenient location, beautiful decor & comfy beds, this place was perfect. Alison was a pleasure to work with, too. Highly recommended!

This was my second time staying here. The cottage did not disappoint! Beautifully decorated, clean and best of all pet friendly! Located within walking distance from the shops on Asbury and the boardwalk, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this gem. The property manager is a dream to work with. She’s personable and takes care to ensure your stay meets your expectations. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfy relaxing stay in OC NJ!

Homey Comfortable House Close to the Bay

House was just as described in the ad. Our family had a great time staying there for our 4 sunny days in Ocean City. Communication with Alison was very helpful, and she is a very friendly, enthusiastic partner. Pros: Very clean, just big enough for everyone, well-equipped, walking distance to shops, restaurants, mini-golf and the Acme. A/C was welcomed. Very short drive to the boardwalk and beach. Cons: Being so close to the bridge, traffic was usually very heavy and constant outside the door (however the front yard helped to buffer it a bit). And while the plentiful decorations gave the house a very cozy feel, sometimes less is more. It was often hard to find places to put our stuff, as there were knick-knacks everywhere (also very surprising in a house that welcomes pets). Just a personal preference I guess, but nothing that can't be instantly adjusted. Overall we very pleased with our choice and would recommend it.

Great little cottage tucked away in ocean city nj

The cottage was really cute and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Allison was a great communicator in terms of what she had available to how to access the place and to checking in to make sure everything was OK. My only comment would be that there are a lot of beautiful decorative pieces throughout the cottage that gave it the charm but if I had younger children with me, I would be concerned that something would get broken. We did move some things out of the way during our stay, just so that none of our dogs accidentally knocked something over. Was a cute comfortable place for couples- & the mattress in the master bedroom was VERY comfortable - Thank you Allison for sharing your cottage with us!
