About this house rental
This custom, handicap-accessible home with a boat slip is located adjacent to a bay canal in the much sought-after community of Heron Harbour Isle, a quiet bayside, family-oriented retreat situated in one of America's best east coast beach towns for families. The community amenities include two outdoor pools, lighted tennis courts (fees may apply), open green space, trails, and waterfront walking piers. There are quiet side streets for walking and biking and it’s a short walk to the beach, food stores, restaurants and shopping. Also nearby is an indoor ice skating rink (at the Carousel resort) and Northside Park, a 58-acre municipal complex that includes a large playground, ball fields, a gymnasium, picnic areas, jogging paths, a fishing lagoon and a 1/4 mile fishing/crabbing pier.
Tastefully appointed, the home features a spacious open floor plan, 10-foot first floor ceilings, exotic hardwood flooring and comfortable furnishings throughout, providing the perfect setting for a memorable vacation experience.
The first floor includes a large master suite; plus two additional en suite bedrooms, each with its own private bath (one with handicap shower and vanity) and TV; a large great room with a gas fireplace, wide screen TV and a built-in bar with a beverage refrigerator.

The owners were very communicative and easy to get in touch with. The house is spacious and spread out so everyone had their own space but plenty of room in the great room and kitchen to hang out together. The house is as pictured. Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook a big meal! Our family had a great time and will hopefully book again next year!

It was a fantastic family vacation. The property was everything as advertised. Very clean, spacious accomodations, scenic views. The location was convenient to all that OC offers. The community pool was refreshing. Brad and Judy were fine hosts and responded immediately to our communications. We will be checking with them next year!

The house is great for families and it is very medically accessible. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
The only major issue we had is that the property is next to a marsh/tall grasses so there were a lot of flies.

We traveled to Ocean City to stay in this home with a group of family and a few friends. Booking and having our pre-travel questions answered, were simple and thorough with the friendly and responsive owners. The house is immaculate and spacious. Every small decision of how it is laid out and designed is thoughtful in accommodating a large group including plenty of open cabinet, space for food, and a very large dining table to accommodate group meals. The beds were all comfortable and bathrooms very spacious. Despite our number of guests, everyone had hot water, and one of our teenagers even said it was the best shower she’s ever taken. The location on the bay is serene and the neighborhood is quiet, but very close to anything you might need including public beach access. The ping-pong table was very fun for our teenage guests in both sitting areas were accommodating for our large group.It overall felt like a luxury home and everyone with us felt pampered. I would not hesitate to book again should we find ourselves in the area. It would be my first listing to seek out.

Access to the house was easy and having a place to stay for wheel chair access made this the best experience for my entire group. The house fit all of our needs and we couldn’t have asked for a Better layout. Overall a great experience. We plan to use it again for future get togethers. Worth every dollar spent

Our family enjoyed this home and its amenities, the open space, well stocked kitchen and the deck was a great place for our family to relax and catch up. The bedrooms are spacious and baths were plentiful. We would recommend this home to a large family or a few couples wanting a relaxing get away.

Several of my brothers, sister-in-laws and our adult children traveled to Ocean City for a long weekend. We loved the spaciousness, layout and decor of the house. The location was fantastic. Far enough from the crowds but easy distance from the Ocean City bus stop, Wawa convenient store, grocery store and great restaurants. It was quite easy working with Brad and Judy. We'll be back!!

Beautiful property and great location for a large family stay! Plenty of space to enjoy your get together with more than enough activities for all ages within walking distance or a short drive, if preferred. Owners were great to work with and very responsive.

The house was perfect for our needs, 17 family members celebrating our 50th anniversary! The location was perfect for beach going, shopping, eating. Kitchen well stocked with glasses, cups, plates, utensils, pots and pans for home cooking. We would definitely come back!

Not on the water as pictures indicated. Pictures are outdated. They show 6 bedrooms with 5 queens and 1 with 2 sets of bunk beds. Property actually had 5 bedrooms with 4 queens and 1 with 4 full size beds. It worked for us except out 16 year old grandson had expected a room of his own and, instead, had to share with his 3 much younger cousins.

This home was perfect for our multi-generation family vacation with tons of space to relax, play, and connect. I loved the kitchen/dining/living room configuration to chat and watch the kids while prepping meals. The location was amazing too, with the house being in a quiet, more peaceful part of the city with gorgeous views, but also super close to everything we needed or wanted to do. Brad and Judy were quick in responding to messages and answered all of my questions. 100% would recommend.
Thank you Brad and Judy for sharing your home with us!!

We absolutely loved this property. It was perfect for our big family that was coming into town to celebrate my mom and dad's 64th Wedding anniversary! It was big enough for all of us to stay and to not feel cramped. Communication with Brad and Judy was very good and the kitchen.....oh my goodness, in the entirety of our 10 year experience staying at VRBO's this is the first kitchen that was actually fully stocked!! We love cooking together as a family and this is a wonderful kitchen to do that! If we come back again to Ocean City we would definitely rent this place again! Thanks Brad and Judy for making your place available to families like mine.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and very spacious. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and the men enjoyed the dry bar in the living room for making cocktails. The kids had the upstairs to themselves and we didn’t even use the second living area space. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also huge plus having a brand new washer and dryer to clean your clothes before packing!

My three siblings and along with our families rented the Heron Harobour home for our first annual family getaway.
The home was the perfect place for our stay as it provided ample space for our large group, a beautiful location on the water in a prime area of Ocean City, and great amenities.
If we decide to return to Ocean City next year we are likely to rent this space again.

Nice house - Most of the rooms had their own bathrooms and that was a plus for the team. Old school rules with bring your own sheets and towels! Would have been challenging if we hadn't driven. We worked around the front door passcode not being remembered with an old fashioned key.

Brad and Judy were very accommodating with all of our questions and requests. There was no hesitation when we asked for a slightly earlier check-in and check-out since we were leaving on New Year's Day with 7 kids! Thank you for allowing us to rent your home.

Here are the top reasons we will book again if it is available:
Location - The bay was beautiful and we were able to kayak, the sunsets delivered a show, walk to the beach was definitely doable, and beach was not overly crowded, convenient to grocery and Starbucks (and many other conveniences)
House - Two ovens and extra beverage refrigeration was awesome for our group of 16! Plenty of dishes and cookware! Appreciated the Keurig and regular coffee pot !The bedrooms on the first floor (3) were spacious and had bathrooms , upstairs bedrooms were also spacious . Beautiful hardwood floors. Lots of light. Clean. Back porches were amazing with breeze and view . Neighbor was friendly (bonus)!
Brad & Judy provided numbers in case we needed to reach them, and things went smoothly!
I would recommend !

Our group did not want to leave! The house is beautiful and the views are spectacular! The house is very clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had five in our group, so we all had our own bedroom, however the house can easily accommodate 10 or more. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in. The fireplace was a nice feature on a chilly night. The views from both decks are outstanding! Nothing like watching the sunset over the water! The neighborhood is very nice and quiet, however we were there in November, so summertime might be a bit different. Winterfest of Lights right up the street at Northside Park...beautiful! We had varying ages in our group and mobility levels and the house proved to be accommodating for all! Brad and Judy are wonderful hosts! They readily and quickly answered any question and re just super friendly! Highly recommend their beautiful home! We will definitely consider returning to Heron Harbor Isle!
