Steps from the pristine Gardens beach. A rare find. Welcome to The Seagate.

Escape the ordinary in this super-clean, beautifully decorated, single family home on a quiet street in the Gardens. Feel the breeze as you enjoy the calming sound of surf and the ocean views from the upper deck. After sunrise yoga on the beach, walk along the ocean with your morning Nespresso. This home has everything you need. Just bring your bathing suit!

Enjoy 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2200 sq. ft. of open concept living with plenty of space to spread out. Dine inside or out, serve meals with ease in our large chef’s kitchen with Gaggenau appliances. Or for the outdoor chef, the 6-burner stainless steel grill awaits. There is plenty of room for lounging, al fresco dining or just a little quiet time.

The setup is convenient with kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and laundry on first floor, providing easy access for guests who have difficulty navigating steps.

Traveling with children? Plenty of sleeping and hang out space on first floor. Have little ones that need to sleep in the same room as their parents? Two bedrooms are ready with rollaway beds.

Return from the beach to find a refreshing, private outdoor shower. Hardwood floors throughout make cleanliness a breeze and linens are provided.

Whether from an hour away or half a world away, The Seagate is a special retreat. A short ride from New York, Philadelphia or DC, and you’ll experience a reprieve from the fast pace of everyday life. Visitors from abroad who want to experience it all can make The Seagate home base in the quaint seaside town of Ocean City established two centuries ago.

This is what our first guests in December 2020 had to say: "We LOVED your place!! We have rented places in Ocean City for 12 plus yrs but your place was hands down the best, a 5 star hotel with all the amenities. The house was clean, fresh, nicely decorated and well stocked. Good location too. We will definitely be back."

Since 2002, we’ve called the The Gardens of Ocean City our second home, where we savor the peacefulness of the shore as a retreat from our busy lives. We are thrilled to share the experience with others at The Seagate. Enjoy the tranquility of the sea, children playing in the sand, the topnotch restaurants of Margate, the fun of the boardwalk and best of all, making special memories with family and friends. We hope you enjoy your time in Ocean City as much as we do! Follow us on Instagram @theseagatehouse.

Family vacation

The space was perfect for our family with small children. The short walk to the beach was handled by all the kids without a problem. This block does not have a life guard on the beach so keep that in mind. And you will need to drive to everything else. But if beach relaxation is what you’re looking for they have it here! Nice quiet neighborhood!

We had a great week at the beach. Cleanest property we have ever stayed at. Communication with the owner was excellent. Being up at the end of Ocean City, lots of space on the beach and just a short drive to lots of activities and restaurants. Hope to stay again next year.

Wonderful stay

The area is like a neighborhood but steps from the beach, which was quiet and thoroughly enjoyable. People were incredibly friendly. Wish the weather had been a little more cooperative but we will definitely come back. Our dogs loved being there and Chris thought of everything. From having linens, toilet paper and even a sewing kit, it felt like home away from home. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home! See you next year. :)

Great beach access

Great property for multiple families. The two living spaces and separate floors offered privacy for our sibling trip. We enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets on the beach which is steps away. The house has everything you need for a great beach vacation. We rode bikes to the boardwalk and we walked (only 1 mile) The house was very clean and comfortable. Great spot.

Lovely stay in Ocean City

Our stay in the Gardens of Ocean City was wonderful. It really worked for our family. The neighborhood is lovely and the location is steps from the beach. Check-in was a breeze. We struggled on how to get the oven to work (imported brand?) but a quick google search had us on our way. Trash from previous renters was still in the garage, but we took it to the curb on pick-up day. No problem. Appreciated the miscellaneous items in the closet (like tape, etc) and added some to it for others. Of five different high-end OC rentals, this was the first and only one with a clean washing machine! No mold, yay!Thank you, we hope to return again.

Best ocean house in Ocean City, NJ!

This is a fantastic place to stay. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The location is in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood on the north end of the island- 2 houses from the beach! The owners were extremely responsive - even sending us a PDF of the oven we were initially confused by how to operate. There were even food and water bowls provided for dogs. This is the BEST rental we’ve been to in our 30+ years of renting at Ocean City!

Wonderful home; great location!

We had a wonderful time at Chris and family's home in the Garden area of Ocean City! Chris was great to communicate with me before and during our visit. The house is lovely, and the beds very comfortable. My daughter needed a table to work on from the house. Chris bought one and had it delivered to the house. We cooked most of our meals there. My husband grilled on Chris' nice gas grill. The location was great! It was right down the street from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet.

Fantastic Family Getaway

The Seagate location was perfection! The Gardens district is simply gorgeous and the house is 3 houses away from what feels like a private beach entrance. The beach was clean, flat, and had fine sand. Now let's talk about the house! Everything you could want was provided at this home as the kitchen was well appointed and the house felt super-cozy! We loved the two living areas and although our gang hung out close to the kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed the upstairs living room for the Eagles game on Sunday. We loved that we could bring our two dogs and there were plenty of sheets to cover furniture in the linen closet. They felt instantly at home too. This location is 3 minutes from the Long Port dog beach- another bonus. I should also mention that the garage was filled with grills, bikes, chairs, etc. There was also plenty of parking in the driveway and on the street. Our hosts were responsive with initial contact, but we everything was so great that we didn't need to reach out to them further. Do not hesitate to rent this property!

Just What the Doctor Ordered

From the moment that I pulled up to the house and saw the proximity to the ocean, I was sold. When I walked into the house and looked around, I had a huge smile on my face. The house was perfect for my family, which included myself, children, spouses, grandson and a dog. Well stocked kitchen, spacious bedrooms, expansive upstairs with large TV, deck where you can actually SEE the ocean and hear the waves. We enjoyed the beach, long walks through what may be the loveliest section of OCNJ, the boardwalk, bike rides, burgers on the grill and of course fudge :-). I look forward to booking again next year and highly recommend this home. Maryellen Walter
