Big Bold House on the Dunes, Easy Walk to the Mighty Pacific Ocean

The living area features large windows, looking out onto a deck, and beyond, the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

A wood stove is available for use year round.

ABOUT OCEAN CITY

Visiting during the warm weather? Get ready for the best time of the year to visit us. Ocean City is also a great spot for bird watching. The Pacific Northwest offers great spots for bird watchers.

The warmer days also mean horseback riding along the beach or whale watching tours, all within a short distance.

Want to head to the beach during Winter, too? That's not a problem! The views are just as beautiful and it's still a great getaway from your every day life. The main drag is still just as active with bowling alleys, shops and galleries to keep you busy.

She could use some love
Upon arrival, it was obvious that it wasn’t ran through for a touch up cleaning same date of arrival. We had a dead field mouse in the master tub and ants all over the kitchen counter. The bathrooms need serious updating, decks need to be painted, she just needs some love. It’s a cool place, we had a great time. If you put about 10k for some upgrades, it would be a more pleasurable stay for your future guests.

If you're looking for an unclean house in disrepair, look no further. Read all the negative reviews, as they are true. As soon as we got in, or socks we're collecting dog hair from the floor (as it had not been cleaned). The fireplace in the bottom floor did not work. Luckily, there is central heating. Also, the bottom floor TV does not have cable. Tons of dust and dog hair under furniture; no deep cleaning done. One of the towel bars in the downstairs bathroom is broken and the vent grate in the ceiling was not screwed in all the way. The shower hardware is also rusting. One of the swivel sofa chairs in the upstairs is tilted at an angle that makes it uncomfortable to sit in. The stove has only two actual burners; the other half is a grill, which didn't produce much heat at all. This made cooking for a large group difficult. Just the basic salt and pepper in the cabinet, so bring your own spices. The knife set was good though. The view is great from the large deck. Short 10-15 min walk to the beach. Make sure your trace your steps back to the house as the trail goes through some brush. You have access to the garage (one remote), which is a plus. I'm conclusion, great place if you just need a bed and beach access. Not so great place if you want cleanliness, working appliances, multiple cable and TV's.

Wonderful and private location. 6 adults, we enjoyed walks to the beach, view of the ocean and weather conditions. Convenient kitchen, dining table for games and plenty of seating for enjoying a movie together.

Making the best out of it
My family and I enjoyed our time together here, however there were lots of issues with the functionality of the home and it was not very clean. Our son had an allergic reaction the first evening there, the window seals and bathroom have mold and moss. The master shower is rusting, the curtains have pink mold. The master bath was in very very bad shape. The two burners on the stove would not work no matter what we did to remedy it, there’s tons of grease in the vent of the stove top. It was very cold in the basement, the heat doesn’t work, the wood stove would not light. The fan to move upstairs heat doesn’t work. There was a a ton of dust all over the house. We made the best of our stay and we appreciate having the time to get away but the home requires attention and updates.

Pretty Nice
Overall, this fit the needs of our group well. Property was a short walk to the beach, had plenty of parking, was quiet, and was clean. Drawbacks were as follows: 1) Stove did not work. We had to call maintenance twice to fix the issue. While they were responsive in coming over, we were in the middle of a big dinner both nights when the burners stopped working. Dinner was delayed by nearly 2 hours, which was frustrating for kids. 2) No pull out couches as advertised. The couches were nice, but we needed them for sleeping and the listing said they were sleeper sofas. 3) The house wasnt well appointed. There were no cleaning cloths in the kitchen, there wasnt a good selection of family size dishes such as baking dishes, and no basic items such as plastic wrap.

Beach House
The location and beach access were great. The property was somewhat run down. Most significantly, the listing says that there is a sleeper couch and a futon couch. The sleeper was broken and we did not find a futon. This created some difficulty for the children and the family as we planned for children to sleep in those locations. This was disappointing.
