We loved staying at 144th street, and enjoyed both Fenwick attractions as well as Ocean City’s. We were initially disappointed at the cleanliness of the floors when we arrived as we watched everyone’s feet turn black (the area rugs may be due for a switch after so much traffic) and the lack of useable pots/pans as they were all scratched Teflon, but the owners were quick to reply on both fronts. We ended up purchasing a frying pan ourselves to use, a small price to pay for an otherwise great vacation house! I’m not sure whether the owners want renters to use the beach equipment in the downstairs closet, which was made available for us to use to stow all our gear, but if so, it would have been nice to know before we hauled all of ours. All of the 5 bedrooms are comfortable, light and airy. The three decks gave us some great spots to have coffee in the morning and cocktails at night! This was such a perfect location for us to stay with our 2 and 5 year old, and both sets of our parents. Close to food, ice cream, groceries, stores, and right across from the OC bus depot. Very easy to get around!
