This amazing, spacious (2400 sq ft) beautifully decorated and well stocked 2nd/3rd floor unit is perfect for large groups who want to be close to the beach and the action of the famous Ocean City boardwalk. This home is only 100 steps to the boardwalk and beach with partial ocean views, game room with pool table, free EV (L2) charging station in garage for guests. See the photos! Address is 1404 Ocean Ave.

The rooms are spacious, inviting and comfortable for families or groups of up to 16. Enjoy the shaded main 2nd level porch or the higher 3rd floor open deck with bar table with family and friends as you sip your favorite drinks and enjoy the view of the ocean (partial view). The game room with a slate pool table and 50" UHD smart TV is great for kids, teens. and adults, and offers another space for the group to spread out. The 65" UHD smart TV in LR, Smart TVs and DVDs in each BR (except bunk room), wireless internet, 14 beach tags, 10+ beach chairs, 2+ umbrellas and 4 bikes add to the fun. There are 2 master BRs, each with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The fireplaces in the living room and game room are great in the colder months. You can use our EV charging station (Level 2 (40A/240V) with J1722 connector) in the garage for free. Shopping, restaurants and arcades are just a short stroll away.

We do not rent for proms, Senior Week or other groups of high school or college students.

We generally rent only for full weeks from late May to early October and welcome long weekends in the off season.

The layout of the unit includes 4 “half levels” in a very comfortable design that allows everyone to spread out as follows:

1st “Half Level” (back half of unit)
• Master BR #1 with king bed, 50” UHD Smart TV and DVD player, ceiling fan and bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, shower and double vanity
• BR #3 with queen bed, 43” UHD Smart TV and DVD player and ceiling fan. This room uses the large hall full bath.
• BR #4 with 2 bunk units, each with a double bed on the bottom and twin bed on top. This room also uses the large hall full bath
• Large Hall Full Bathroom – with double vanity and shower. Typically used by BR #3 and BR #4
• Hall half bath – this is typically used by the living areas on the next level

• Turret connected to game room with an additional bunk bed (twin top, twin bottom). This is unofficially BR #6. The game room has 2 dressers for anyone sleeping in the turret. Oh yes….when you lift your head from the pillow of the top bunk, you are looking at the ocean!
• Top deck with a bar table and seating for 8 with great views for happy hour or hanging out any time.

Ground Level
• An additional enclosed shower used just by this unit is along the main entrance hallway (there is also one for the 1st floor unit)

The two King, Queen, two Double and 2 Twin beds beds have premium Beauty Rest 14" thick mattresses with 1000 independent internal coils and several layers of comfort foam.

For meals, there is plenty of seating for everyone:

* A main dining table for 10
* A smaller dining table for 4 that is also great for playing cards, doing puzzles or playing games
* 5 kitchen counter bar stools
* Table for 4 on the adjacent main porch

The deck is spacious and wonderful, facing east to provide morning sun and afternoon shade (make sure you don't stay elsewhere where the deck faces west -- it's like the surface of the sun during summer afternoons!). There is a table for 4 as well as an additional 6 chairs. We have spent countless happy hours on the deck!

The top level deck with bar table and seating for 8 has the best view of the ocean and is a great spot to hang out in the evening.

We have Comcast high speed internet and "cable" TV channels (accessed by using the Xfinity Stream app on all the TVs).

There is no barbeque – sorry!

There are 2 fireplaces -- one in the living room and one in the game room -- great for fall/winter/early spring rentals!

The unit has a large capacity washer and dryer. It also has a high chair and a portable crib.

There is a children’s playhouse in the back yard. The back yard is enclosed by a fence and is only accessed from the front. The back yard is shared with the 1st floor unit (1402 Ocean) but is almost never used.

The St Damien Catholic Church is 1 block away -- at 13th and Wesley. Other churches and places of worship are also nearby but not quite as close.

The beds have bedspreads, mattress pads/protectors, pillows/pillow protectors and blankets. Sheets and pillow cases and bath and beach towels are NOT provided and are either brought by the renter or rented from local companies (many local businesses do this – just google “linens for rent in Ocean City NJ”).

The kitchen is well stocked with all the plates, glasses and utensils you need. There is a toaster, coffee maker, blender, griddle, pots/pans, etc. We get many positive comments about how well we have set up this property.

Renters must bring their own consumable supplies -- toilet paper, clothes and dish washing detergent, paper towels, trash bags. Sometimes supplies remain from previous renters, but it is best to not rely upon this.

We provide 14 seasonal beach tags (honor system to not take them!) so there is no added expense to go to the beach. (Note: Ocean City requires that you show your beach tag when you walk onto the beach between early June and Labor Day)

The unit has 10+beach chairs, 2+ beach umbrellas and beach toys in the garage, but the condition of these cannot be guaranteed.

The unit also has four 21 speed bikes for your use -- Ocean City is great for bike rides (you can even ride on the boardwalk until noon)

Parking includes 1 car in the garage and 1 car on the concrete pad. Both are accessed from Ocean Avenue as there is no alley behind the unit. During the summer, there are parking meters on Ocean Avenue, so we typically stash any extra cars on the avenues farther from the ocean (e.g. Wesley, Central, Asbury, etc.) where the parking is free. This may sound a bit inconvenient but really is not since you will almost never need your car due to the amazing location of this property.

Professional cleaners will clean the unit following your stay, but we ask that renters leave the place as close to the arrival condition as possible. For example, bedspreads should be on the bed and the beds should be made, furniture should all returned to the original location, dishes should be cleaned and returned to the proper cabinets, trash should be taken out, etc. This then allows the cleaners to focus on the remaining aspects to bring the place to 100% for the following guests. We provide a "departure checklist" in a Renters Guide that can be used to ensure a proper departure.

Access to the unit is via an entrance into a ground floor hallway used by both the 1st floor unit and our 2nd/3rd floor unit. There is a single flight of 7 steps up to the door into 1404 Ocean. Once in the door, you climb 2 flights with 15 stairs to get the first “half level” within the unit. Then there are 6 stairs to the 2nd “half level”, 8 stairs to the 3rd “half Level” and 7 stairs to the 4th “half level.” This is obviously is not ideal for handicapped individuals but is fine for any healthy person.

We keep 3 copies of the keys in a lock box in the back yard attached to one of the wooden pillars holding the air conditioner. We will provide the code for the lock box once the booking is confirmed. Renters must return the keys into the lock box at the end of their rental.

We also own 1220 Wesley (VRBO 860448) and 1222 Wesley (VRBO 1394889). Both are 5BR/3BA units that sleep 12-14. Since they are only 2 blocks away, it is possible to arrange accommodations for very large groups staying at all 3 properties.
