Relaxing Beach Stay

No need to overpack when staying at this property, and the hosts are very responsive to questions. We loved the privacy and view from the back balconies. It really felt like a home away from home. We will definitely return in the future.

Great location, beach and overall stay

We had a great stay at this house. The pictures online actually sell it short a bit in my opinion, there are decks off the two Queen bedrooms and off the living room area. There are a few sets of steps that can be challenging for toddlers- we had a 2 year old and on the first day went to Walmart and bought a play yard style gate to block the steps - highly recommend this if you have little ones. The nice thing about multiple floors if you can get some space and it’s helpful at nap time/bedtime for the kids. The outdoor shower was also great for the kids after the beach - it’s a true shower stall where you can fully rinse off versus the usual open hose/sprayer. The kitchen has all you need to make meals etc. we had a beach cart with us but the house also has one with toys and chairs. We did not use it but there is also a small backyard area which is lined by trees so on 2 of the decks you get that view and lots of birds in those trees - a nice sound upgrade from busy ocean city highway noise we were used to. The beach is wonderful, everyone we encounter was friendly. This is a great little neighborhood! Short drive to everything .

Hot Fun in the Summer Time

Arrived on a Saturday for an eight day stay. Had only one day of cloudiness with some rain. Enjoyed seven days of sun, fun, ocean and sea air. Visited fun land and the boardwalk. Played Putt Putt and feasted on crabs. Last night ended with Rainbow sherbet. The property was perfect with just a short walk to the beach. It had all the accommodations you needed. The decor was beachy and super comfortable. Couldn’t ask for more What a great vacation!!!

Love Tower Shores

Loved our trip. The location and neighborhood is ideal for family vacation, short walk to the private beach that doesn’t get too crowded, playground, etc. the house was lovely for a trip with our children and parents. Bathrooms really need a significant upgrade, but were very clean and livable. Otherwise the house is absolutely perfect!

Spacious House and Great Location

Our family enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the accommodations inside and out. With 2 decks and a patio there was plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors while on location. Being close to the beach without having to cross streets was necessary since we had young children, so the location was perfect. The younger ones enjoyed the playground and the older ones enjoyed playing pickleball at the adjacent court. Catherine and Dennis were attentive hosts, were very accessible and answered our questions promptly. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

Spacious, surprisingly private, perfectly equipped!

Catherine's home was perfect for our 12th August week in Tower Shores. The room are spacious, many, many decks, backs to the parkland, quick walk onto the sand. The beds were very comfortable and it was so nice to have far fewer steps to the 3rd and 4th floors than any other home we've rented in Tower Shores. Instead of an entire story between the top 2 bedrooms, they are cantilevered and easy to access. The home was clean and have everything we needed and then some. We will be back!

Fun at the Beach

Awesome beach rental! Catherine was on top of everything I needed to know about her home. I felt well prepared for a first time stay. We had a young one - 20 months - be prepared for stairs. Great location, playground and pickle ball / tennis courts in great proximity; it was a great little playground for the "littles". Bedroom / bathroom on main level with living room and kitchen was nice in not having to climb additional stairs for grandparent(s). Decks on each level enabled greater privacy. Highly recommended!

Great location

We couldn’t have asked for a better location. This house is right down a private road from a private beach. The beach was never crowded and we always got a great spot. Bethany beach boardwalk was a quick drive away. The house itself was nice, but dated. It’s not a great house for families with little babies since there are four levels, with one bedroom on each. The lowest level is an efficiency suite, with an electric stove. Luckily the knobs could be easily removed so the kids could t turn it on. The outside table was perfect for group dinners and the tv room was great for relaxing after a Long Beach day.
