Perfect for long weekend
We love Ocean City and typically stay in the South End. We wanted to have our pup stay with us this trip so this was a good choice. Owner is terrific-easy to reach and responsive. Location is on a rather busy street, set back from the street. House is tiny, well stocked with one small bathroom. Overall very comfortable for a short stay. We will bring bikes next trip!

Charming, Comfortable, and Convenient
I live in Florida and visit my mom every summer. This year, we decided to get away for a few days in Ocean City, NJ. We needed a first floor option for my elderly mom & pet-friendly accommodations for my dog. With its fenced in yard, convenient location, beautiful decor & comfy beds, this place was perfect. Alison was a pleasure to work with, too. Highly recommended!

Second time renting, still exceeds expectations!
This was my second time staying here. The cottage did not disappoint! Beautifully decorated, clean and best of all pet friendly! Located within walking distance from the shops on Asbury and the boardwalk, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this gem. The property manager is a dream to work with. She’s personable and takes care to ensure your stay meets your expectations. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfy relaxing stay in OC NJ!

Homey Comfortable House Close to the Bay
House was just as described in the ad. Our family had a great time staying there for our 4 sunny days in Ocean City. Communication with Alison was very helpful, and she is a very friendly, enthusiastic partner. Pros: Very clean, just big enough for everyone, well-equipped, walking distance to shops, restaurants, mini-golf and the Acme. A/C was welcomed. Very short drive to the boardwalk and beach. Cons: Being so close to the bridge, traffic was usually very heavy and constant outside the door (however the front yard helped to buffer it a bit). And while the plentiful decorations gave the house a very cozy feel, sometimes less is more. It was often hard to find places to put our stuff, as there were knick-knacks everywhere (also very surprising in a house that welcomes pets). Just a personal preference I guess, but nothing that can't be instantly adjusted. Overall we very pleased with our choice and would recommend it.

This property is just as listed ! Besides being adorable it’s loaded with state of the art appliances. The fenced in yard was great for our fur baby and front porch was spacious and private! The kitchen was fully stocked with pots,pans and ,plenty of dishes and silverware. It’s a lovely cottage and well maintained. We all agreed it was the best place we stayed in in the last 20 years!

Quick getaway in the heart of Ocean City
The home is beautifully decorated and feels like a home away from home. The area is very quiet and walkable. I took my family for a last minute long weekend and Allie and her home were very welcoming. Also note the home is decorated in lots of Paris decor, perfect for our upcoming Olympics. Very enjoyable!

Great little cottage tucked away in ocean city nj
The cottage was really cute and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Allison was a great communicator in terms of what she had available to how to access the place and to checking in to make sure everything was OK. My only comment would be that there are a lot of beautiful decorative pieces throughout the cottage that gave it the charm but if I had younger children with me, I would be concerned that something would get broken. We did move some things out of the way during our stay, just so that none of our dogs accidentally knocked something over. Was a cute comfortable place for couples- & the mattress in the master bedroom was VERY comfortable - Thank you Allison for sharing your cottage with us!

Great place to stay.
This is our second time renting this cottage and we had another wonderful stay. The place is immaculate and each room is beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is very quiet and we were close to shops and great restaurants. Furniture was comfortable and the television was easy to use. Great coffeemaker and plenty of dishes and utensils. Our favorite part was sitting on the large porch with our pets. Thanks Alison, you are a terrific hostess!

Hanging at the Beach
We had a great stay, the property is fantastic if you have pets because the fenced in yard gives them somewhere to hangout and not just be stuck in the house. The neighborhood is great for walking pups. While the beach is walkable- it is not exactly close to the cottage- would recommend either driving and parking or bringing a beach cart, beach tags were included which is great because they did get checked. The only 2 things that would've made our stay even better- newer window AC units and a few more cable channels- ESPN, MSNBC, HGNetwork. Another great feature is location- easy to get to and easy to get to Atlantic City etc. We had a fantastic stay overall.

Cutest cottage at the shore - 5 STARS!!!
My mom and I stayed at this wonderful cottage for 8 days with my Boston Terrier. The location was close to everything in a safe, clean neighborhood, with friendly neighbors and a perfectly sized yard for my pup. The yard was maintained and gorgeous, with a large covered porch which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage was clean, decorated beautifully and very welcoming. The owner thought of everything you could need during your stay (including night lights and a clock radio!) She also had a guest book for you to sign (what a sweet touch!) You can see the care and love that she puts into the property. Booking was easy and communication with the owner was outstanding. She provided clear check in and out instructions, called me prior to our visit and provided recommendations for dining and things to do. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a pet friendly, cozy stay at the shore. We will definitely be booking our next vacation here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. We had an amazing time and made some wonderful memories. Anneen, Doris and Holly Farney

I’ve stayed at the sane place for 15 years prior to this week and in addition to needing a pivot for scheduling reasons, we wanted to try a space with a yard. We travel with dogs; they are our family. The cottage did not disappoint ! We loved the porch, the yard, and the cozy spaces. Alison was a great host and stayed in constant communication as needed but was not over- bearing. We loved it and will be back!

Lovely cottage but tech not working
I was thrilled to find a house with a fenced yard who accepted 3 small dogs! It's a lovely cottage. I was so stressed and needed a no-drama vacation. We loaded up and arrived at the cottage. We couldn't get in the gate (I read it gets stuck from another review...and still does). Got in, put the wifi code in my phone...couldn't comnect. Phoned owner...she forgot they changed network/nerwork name. So new code and now I could order dinner. Turned on the TV ( advertised Comcast/Xfinity AND smart tv LR and main). Every channel..need a subscription, so no news or local channels. We put in our Prime password and watched a movie. Took dogs for a walk then we were tired so put the pups to bed and went to bed. Turned on the TV...nothing. Found the network...unable to connect. Texted owner...advice was to turn it off and on, unplug. We did that before calling. so no TV. Got up early and was going to watch the news and have coffee. It was 50 degrees...so too cold to head to dog beach. Turned on the TV to watch the news. Tried to connect multiple ways. Frustrated. So we packed up and left. We relax by watching TV. It was an advertised amenity and not available. I believe as an owner, you have a responsibility to make sure things work before tenants move in...not during. It just made my stress worse. So if you rent this house just know that the tech could be a problem.
