This home was lovely, and the owners were the most responsive communicators from whom we've rented in the past decade. The kitchen was beautiful and very well equipped, and the garage was filled with enough beach chairs for at least 8 people (maybe more!). The beach cart was a welcome surprise! The living room was bigger than the photos suggest, and there was a rug, which added a cozy touch. The house is about a 7-minute walk from the beach, and the area is very quiet, which we appreciated. We also really appreciated that every bedroom (except the kids' room) had nightstands and reading lights, which are often missing from beach houses! There were lots of outdoor areas to relax (front porch with a table and chairs, back deck with chairs, and roof deck with couches, chairs, and a low coffee-style table). The front deck and roof deck get strong morning light and don't have any shade, but we enjoyed those spaces either prior to 8am or in the evening. (A couple of the bedrooms were also pretty bright in the morning, even with closed curtains. Any light-sensitive late sleepers might want to bring an eye mask). Although we have been renting in Ocean City for several years, this was our first time staying on the Gold Coast, and it was lovely. Also very convenient being close to Acme and CVS! All in all, we had a terrific stay and the owners were great!
