Ocean City NJ Vacation Rental:
1404 Ocean Ave. 2nd & 3rd Floor - OC23-55CB

Description

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. See the photos!

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 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, TVs and DVDs in each BR (except one), wireless internet, 14 beach tags and 4 bikes add to the fun. There are 2 master bedrooms, each with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The fireplaces in the living room and game room are great in the colder months. Shopping, restaurants and arcades are just a short stroll away.

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

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 other games
5 kitchen counter bar stools
Table for 4 on the adjacent main deck
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!

We have Comcast high speed internet and cable TV.

There is no barbecue -- 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 but is almost never used.

The St Augustine 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, pillows (with 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 in our guest book 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. Often some 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 an assortment of beach chairs 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 find you 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 obviously is not ideal for handicapped individuals but is fine for any healthy person.
