Always love to come back to this place!! The house is decorated well and very homey. The beds are comfortable and the home is well maintained. It has a community pool right out front and the community is family friendly. Jolly Roger Park and Jolly Roger Water Park are walking distance for teens. The canal and dock are great for a 20 foot boat and it's the easiest boat slip in the neighborhood and plus it's protected from storms unlike bayfront docks. Owners are great with communication and respond quickly to any questions. Plan to book again!

Perfect family place

The place was perfect for our family of 7! Very clean, quiet relaxing community. We loved waking up every morning and sitting on the back porch watching the fish jump in the canal! We walked to the beach daily and to buddy’s one night for drinks! We got a Walmart delivery for groceries very convenient location!

The Perfect Place

Thank you so much for sharing your place with us. We did LOVE it and had a wonderful family vacation time. The grandchildren learned how to fish and crab right there on the dock area. The grownups (and grandchildren) enjoyed our half day pontoon boat trip, our days on Assateague Island, nights on the Boardwalk among the many things we did for week. The weather cooperated, so we were able to do everything on our "to do" list. We were all exhausted, but not so much that we didn't already start planning our next year's OCMD trip. It's a yearly thing for us. It was a pleasure working with the vacation rental homeowner.

Great location, but wasn’t satisfied with my experience

Great location! The washing machine wasn’t draining and it took a couple of days to get repaired. The hvac unit wasn’t cooling the house. After a couple of days, the repair technician told me that it didn’t have a filter in place and the unit needed a major repair. The repair wasn’t made during my stay and the home averaged 80* inside and was definitely uncomfortable.

Crumbling in nearly every room and failing air conditioning makes for a horrible vacation

While the deck looks great from the water and in the pictures, it is literally crumbling everywhere. The deck boards are similar to the ocean waves and the pickets are falling apart. Forget about sitting on the upper deck adjacent to the master bedroom, it is not safe for even the smallest child. Everyone who stayed or visited tripped on the dilapidated deck boards and the same for the flooring inside the house. I should have listened to the previous reviews regarding the cleanliness. While it appeared clean on first blush, only the immediate surfaces have ever been dusted. The bathrooms were so outrageously dirty, we had to go to the store and buy bleach, a mop and paper towels we could throw away after cleaning the gobs of nasty hair and dirt left on the walls, floors and sinks in both upstairs bathrooms. Even worse than the crumbling deck, floors and walls, the air conditioning only worked upstairs in the two guest bedrooms. The house never cooled below 85 degrees on the hottest days of the year during the 4th of July. We had to spend a small fortune on fans just to be able to tolerate the soaring heat. If you plan to allow your children to swim in this area - forget it! It is not safe for anyone to swim in the canals here. The boat traffic is not only voluminous, but constant. We were even concerned about putting kayaks in the water the boat traffic was so heavy. Good luck finding the place upon arrival as there is no street sign to indicate the direction of the townhouse. I highly suggest renting elsewhere. I would never consider staying in this run down, unkempt hot box.

Great location for a family trip

This little community on Gull Way is a great place to stay. Every house is close proximity to the pool. We chose this house because it was on the end of the row. The house was recently renovated, which was really nice, and has a boat slip (with lift). The house has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, so it’s convenient for the family. Right down the street from Jolly Roger (great place to visit) and under 10 minuets to the inlet/end of boardwalk. The owners were very pleasent to work with and always responded quickly/professionally. I would recommend this place!

Wonderful modern townhouse. Great location.

We stayed here in July with 3 teenage boys. The home was even better than the pictures. Clean and neat with modern decor. Everything was well organized and labeled with many nice courtesies left for guests. The home had plenty of room for us all and the location was near to everything and perfect for our boat. We found the neighbors were welcoming and friendly. The pool was also nice to have right out front. A nice addition for boaters is the lot to park your trailer. I reached out to the owner to ask a question and recieved a prompt and friendly response. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend to others.
