About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beach-block and ocean views!

Located in the Lower Chelsea area of Atlantic City, this home is just 1 mile from the Trop and 10 minutes from the Borgata while being in a residential area with little to no crime making it safe to travel by foot for the entire family. This beach block beauty has grand architectural heritage. Detailed wood carvings, enormous fireplaces, and a elaborately carved staircase are earmarks of the first floor. Central air conditioning, custom dining table, high speed WIFI, and flat screen televisions, also make this home a functional destination for the entire family.

At this home, you have wonderful ocean views from multiple rooms and windows!

There is also great parking that accommodates 6 cars.

The ocean and boardwalk are only 60 yards away and you can walk the boardwalk from Margate to the Ocean Casino without getting off.

The beaches where the home is located are free, lifeguard monitored, clean, never crowded and wonderful for children to swim in as there's no "cliff" when they get into the water so they can easily enjoy themselves.

The house was perfect for our party of 12, with lots of bedrooms and open spaces. The dining room table was a perfect size for our Italian Feast dinner. The house is well-lived in but has old-world charm in the details. The beach is very close. Rebecca, the host was very easy to communicate with, I would stay here again

The property was exactly what we were looking for on this trip. Big, spacious house with a dining room table, two TVs, outdoor deck, near the boardwalk, plenty of bedrooms. As other reviews mentioned, the house is older, but it was clean and fit our needs for this trip. Already recommended to other people.

Beach Block location

Overall happy with our stay. Owners communicated well. Our location to the beach was perfect. Large old house, 3 stories. Spacious. Newer bathrooms and kitchen. Clean. Not the easiest access to unload and bring stuff into the house due to 1 basic entry. Other entry was at the back of the house with stairs to deck passing many garbage cans. And a very nice neighborhood and manicured lawns except for this house. That would really enhance the appeal to this property. We enjoyed our time at this house.

Perfect for my Bachelorette Party!

I stayed at this beautiful property with 12 of my friends and family members for my bachelorette party, and it was perfect for our large group! There was a ton of space for parking, the property manager was very prompt and helpful, and there was enough seating on the first floor for us all to hang out together. There were more than enough showers, bathtubs, and bathrooms on the second and third floor so everyone was easily able to get ready. The bedrooms were adorable and spacious, but with enough air conditioning and fans to keep us cool on a very hot and humid day. The location is ideal, being a quick walk from the beach and a quick car ride from the casinos. All the beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The departure check list was easy and manageable, which was great after a fun night out on the town. I couldn’t have stayed at a better property! I would absolutely recommend this house for large groups who want to be close to the beach and the nightlife of Atlantic City! It’s beautiful, comfortable, and convenient.

Buyer beware

We were so excited for our last minute family vacation. While this home was in a location with easy beach access, the home itself was an awful experience. The home had rats and my kids were scared the entire trip. The rats tore into our snacks and we felt gross just being there. The homeowners should've discounted our stay as staying in a rat infested home is not what i paid for however I've yet to get a response to my inquiry for compensation. Hopefully they get exterminators so other guests don't have to deal with this issue! Ugh!

Amazing location, interior needs some work

We had a family reunion in Atlantic City and rented this house and another down the street for their close proximity to each other. The location is perfect - just a steps away from the beach and walkable to the busier parts of Atlantic City. Plenty of large, airy beds/bedrooms; some rooms had their own A/C units which was essential because the heat of the third floor bedrooms. We did struggle a little with the central A/C which required texting the owner - we received timely responses but would’ve loved the flexibility to adjust on our own. The bedrooms were very sparsely appointed -- two rooms had no dressers and so we had to put our clothes on the floor which was hard for some of our older family members. The bathrooms varied in size and age --- the jetted hot tub turned out to be unappealing in its age and many of the bathroom floors had water damage and were uneven which was not ideal for our older family members. The kitchen was a great size, and there were some great pots available for cooking, but there were not nearly enough mugs and other items to host a larger gathering. In terms of house access, we would suggest switching to a keypad system or having additional keys ready for the number of guests considering the size of the house. Three keys among our group was difficult to coordinate transfers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved the location. We appreciated the hosts’ responsiveness, and we want future renters to be aware of the details we observed.

Could be Very Good But...

Use caution renting this house. There are many good things here. Location is great and the beach here is beautiful and only a short walk. Downstairs common areas are pretty good but getting tired. Powder room sink worked but the facets and the handles are loose and free floating almost. You could see the air filter while going up the stairs and it appeared to be very dirty. Second floor bathroom had a very bad packing leak around the shower facets. The hot was basically pouring out around the handle and the hot water temperature was so hot, you could scold someone. I called them on Tuesday. Plumber showed up on Friday. There are no shutoff valves except the main in the basement. So, he tightens the packing nuts and removes the handles. No more leak but no more shower. We paid for a place to sleep 22 but only got beds for 16. Owners list the property as having a capacity of 22 people and claims Atlantic City told them to list it at that number. Their bedroom illustration shows capacity for 17 people in beds. We figured there would be fold out couches. We rented house needing sleeping for 21 people. Good thing 4 people cancelled on us. One person slept on a couch. First night there, we tried to use the outdoor grill. We noticed the grease trap was full almost to the top. We cleaned the grease trap and didn’t use it again. Listing 6 cars and 2 parking passes. Then they tell you there is off street parking for 3 cars (we squeezed 4).

Great owners/ not so great house

We had 17 traveling with our group, ranging from 40-9. I have to say this property did not have an accurate description. The floors are far from refinished and the house is definitely not newly remodeled. They advertised 5 bathrooms, my error for not checking that closer. There are 3 full baths and one has a slanted ceiling making it very uncomfortable for anyone with a little height. That leaves you with two, one of which is in a bedroom. There is a shower outside to rinse sand ( they included this as a bathroom) as well as a toilet on the main floor, making 5 total “bathrooms”. The first day we were there we contacted the owners because the third floor had NO air conditioning and it was very hot. They did arrange repair for the following day. For the next three day men were in and out of the house regularly and frequently. They spent a great deal of time in the upstairs bedroom which meant we couldn’t sleep, change or use our room. They also say the house is equipped with Smart T.V.s. It is indeed , it’s equipped with two smart TVs. One in a small family room and the other in the dining room. The house is very old, with chipped paint, chipped flooring and a musty smell. Prior to arrival you will be told that if a neighbor complains about loud talking you will lose 500 of you security deposit and if the cops are called you will be charged another 500 and evicted. We didn’t have an issue with this and can appreciate a good neighborhood but the last min add. Of fines?

2024 Annual Family Gathering

The house itself is a charming property with beautiful carved stair railings, spacious bedrooms, and cozy fireplaces. Unfortunately, the VRBO listing did not accurately portray the property upon our arrival. The yard was neglected, with overgrown bushes and uncut grass, detracting from the house's overall appeal. Additionally, one bedroom had a missing ceiling tile, that left a hold, directly above the bed, and the house was unusually cold due to the hurricane's aftermath, requiring remote thermostat adjustments. While these issues were disappointing, the owner was accommodating in addressing the temperature concern. Basic amenities such as toilet paper were lacking in some bathrooms, and several mattress covers require replacement. Despite these shortcomings, our family thoroughly enjoyed the house, its location, and our overall stay. We would recommend the property with the hope that these minor issues will be addressed for future guests.

This house is beautiful, it has the character of old AC which we loved. Super close to the free beach, the tide was low and a sandbar. With 17 women ages 30-40 for my sister’s bachelorette we felt comfortable with tons of space, had an awesome dinner in the dining room and never waited for a bathroom or shower. Would def go back!!

Group Bachelorette Stay

We really enjoyed this house. It was perfect for what we needed it for. There is plenty of bedrooms and room within the bedrooms. We had plenty of common space for the group to gather. Contacting the host was very easy and she was very responsive. We very much enjoyed our visit at AC. It was close enough (if you don't mind a walk 1ish mile. This group enjoys a walk) to get to the active part of the boardwalk, but far enough away that you weren't right in the mix of everything AC. The neighborhood felt very safe. Would stay here again if we would come down for a visit.

August 2022 in AC

The owner was helpful in her pre-arrival communication. The onsite manager was highly responsive and helpful. The house is huge and on a good beach block. Most of the houses on the surrounding block were beautiful. However, the one next door looks like it should be condemned. The boardwalk and beach were close and beautiful. The house looks, in the photos, to be in much better condition than it actually is. It is a historic property and must have been incredible years ago. However, now the furniture is worn out and wobbly. The floors and walls need to be cared for. Not all of the bedrooms have adequate drawers to unpack and store clothing. The bathrooms are in working order, but are in need of updating (the powder room sink had a punch crack in it). The kitchen was fairly equipped with supplies; it could use more wine glasses to accommodate large groups. The upstairs patio had a great view and the table was large, but the benches were wobbly. Overall, we had a wonderful time and did not complain during our visit; however, I want to let subsequent renters know what they are getting. I feel it was overpriced for the condition it was in, but the location and the kind onsite property manager made up for that a bit. Thank you

Misleading Photos and Listing

This property was likely renovated as described/pictured many years ago, but is now in rough shape with significant wear and tear. Was very surprising given the positive reviews. As a group of 14 celebrating a surprise 40th for a dear friend, we had planned for months with the house being a key part of everyone’s excitement.The disappointment was felt by all, especially the birthday girl’s husband, who had wanted to give her a weekend she’d never forget. What we won’t forget is a friend falling within a second of sitting on the patio table bench because it was missing a leg, another cutting herself on an old, broken metal towel rack on the back of a bathroom door among other issues. I'm a go with the flow person who doesn't complain much so I wish I could post the pictures shared with the owner, as I don't want others to overpay (3.5x the avg for 2 nights!!!) or expect a beautifully renovated home that is part of a ‘luxury collection' and walk into: - broken furniture like the missing leg on long patio bench and broken support on dining room table (we actually fixed these while there) - Several hardwood bedroom floors that were significantly scratched, with peeling paint that got into your feet, and some are stained - Multiple broken light fixtures with exposed bulbs/without covers including sconces and fans, outdoor large-bulbed string lights were broken all over the patio (we cleaned up so we could use the patio) - Fans that don't work including main living room - Cigarette hole burned in the sheets in second floor bedroom - Ants on wood bar in kitchen - Peeling wallpaper on every wall in the dining room - Gashes in walls, peeling paint throughout - Powder room sink significantly cracked The highlight of our experience was interacting with the property manager Amy and dining at the nearby restaurant Ryfe, which we found out after paying for a tasting menu reservation in advance was owned by the owner of this house. It was a tough sell to tell our group we were going to the owner's restaurant after the not-so-great condition of the house, but the restaurant was a great place with very good food. I do want to note that the owner acknowledged the problems, saying that he would ‘do something for us’ given the issues and the amount we had paid (which I greatly respected). However, as of this writing he has twice conveyed he is busy and will get back to me and has not. A learning lesson and in future I'll ask how recent photos are. :)
