About this property

Ocean views! Pool table! 14th & Ocean. 2nd/3rd Fl. Free EV L2 Charger

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

2nd “Half Level” (front half of unit – ocean views)
• Living room with 2 sofas and 3 chairs and 65” UHD smart TV and DVD player (with collection of 100+ DVDs), fireplace and ceiling fan
• Dining room with large table that can seat 10-12.
• Breakfast nook with table that can seat 4 (or be used for puzzles or playing games)
• Well stocked kitchen with overhanging countertop with 5 bar stools.
• BR #5 with 2 twin beds, 43” UHD Smart TV with DVD player and ceiling fan. Uses large full hall bath on first Half Level.
• Main deck (covered) with partial ocean view and table for 4 plus an additional 6 chairs

3rd “Half Level” (back half of unit)
• Master BR #2 with king bed, 50” UHD Smart TV and DVD player, ceiling fan and bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, shower and double vanity. Also has a storage closet with port-a-crib and high chair.

4th “Half Level” (front half of unit – ocean views)
• Game room with slate pool table, 50” UHD smart TV and DVD player, 2 small game tables, 2 chairs, a queen futon, fireplace and ceiling fan.
• 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.

An Ocean City Gem

This property is by far one of the best places to stay in Ocean City. It is well equipped, has amenities above and beyond your normal shore house. Great location, awesome communication with the owner. Extremely comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with Henkels pans. Great views. And there is lots of room so you can gather as a group or head off to a more private area to read or take in the beautiful views.

Thank you so much!!

We really enjoyed our stay... I personally came from Florida but we had a couple friends come from different states we didn't realize how many places would be closed in December but it worked out perfectly fine considering that the house had plenty of TVs and the pool table to keep us entertained... The convenience of the boardwalk being right there and the beach being right there was so awesome the views at morning and night of the beach was beautiful I absolutely love the layout as far as the main floor being able to cook but still interact with everybody because the kitchen so open to the room the table was big enough for all of us to sit around and play cards comfortably. We had three kids with us and they stayed entertained the entire time as well. I would love to stay in this house again if we are ever back over there and I love the idea that if we needed more space he has another rental property nearby that we could rent as well though this house had plenty of space for my group. Seriously thank you so much for renting your house out to us. Also would love to mention that it was very easy to contact the property manager anytime I needed something or had a question he's very communicable and friendly. 10 out of 10 for sure!!

Off-season Perfection

We stayed at this property between selling our house and moving into another. This was the perfect opportunity to not only relax but to have a place that was perfectly located. I know a lot of stuff is closed in the off-season but having the boardwalk, the places that were open, celebrating Halloween, and overall just being a great place with my family was a fantastic trip. I would stay here every time we travel to Ocean City..

A Gem By the Ocean City Boardwalk

My family and I have stayed at many properties over the years in Ocean City. This was the nicest, most well-equipped and furnished, and well organized apartment we've ever stayed in. Nothing was lacking and the furniture was comfortable, the layout of the apartment was spacious, and the views from the two decks of the boardwalk and ocean were unparalleled. We had a large family get together with an age span of 1 year to 73 years of age and everyone had a blast! The owner is easily accessible though we didn't need to contact him at all during the stay. Thank you!

Great place for three families to have own bedrooms and bathrooms

A wonderful week with all our family (10). Ideal location to beach and boardwalk. Spacious, open and sunny layout on the main floor and an easy to use kitchen with everything you need. Great for young cooks. Ideal place and time for us to bike before summer tourist arrived. The tweens and teens could go off by themselves. Everything was organized so well for us guests. Gary was gracious and accommodating. Thank you

Great Spring Getaway!

My family and I had a great escape to Ocean City staying in Gary's beautiful beach house. He checks in often to make sure that you are enjoying your stay. Whenever I had a question he got back to me quickly. The check-in process is very easy. My husband and 2 grown son's really enjoyed playing pool by the fireplace. They also took advantage of the bikes that are left for guests to use. The bikes are in top condition. The location can not be beat. So nice to step out on the outdoor balcony and see the ocean. My husband and I even made it down to the beach one day, It was great to have beach chairs at our disposal. We also loved watching a movie from the DVDs that they have while sitting by the living room fireplace. The beach house is really big so we had plenty of room to spread out. If you are looking to have a great vacation with friends and family then look no further. My family and i would love to stay here again,

Amazing vacation house!

We had such an incredible stay at this beautiful beach home. It’s cozy, comfortable, spacious & well maintained. We were so impressed with the amount of “extras” that were provided- bikes, games, beach tags, sand toys, TVs, books, high chair, pack & play, abundance of cooking utensils..just to name a few! The location cannot be beat! It’s quiet, so close to the beach and boardwalk. The ocean view from the front deck isn’t too bad either! Gary was so helpful, friendly and thorough regarding any questions or concerns about our stay. Thank you for opening up your home-our favorite OCNJ rental by far!!

Steps to the boardwalk, Fully stocked, Neat and clean

We found this amazing property thanks to being displaced by Hurricane Florence. Having used VRBO for 10+ years, I can say this is one of the best stocked houses we’ve ever stayed at. From the kitchen to games to extra blankets to beach accessories - simply one of the best. We spent a lot of time on the decks in the mornings and evenings. We also really enjoyed having two master bathrooms with jets! We worked with Gary who was excellent at getting back to me and answering any questions we had. My only suggestion would be to add a dresser or closet shelves in the first floor master bedroom. You cannot go wrong with this house on 14th and Ocean!!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Schils

Host profile image
We have been the proud owners of this beach house since 2005, after falling in love with Ocean City during many prior family visits. We have built a great reputation in Ocean City of keeping our place very nice, and while we are relatively new to VRBO, we have had more than a decade of very successful rental seasons year after year working mostly through the many local realtors. We have been happy to open our home to so many guests from around the country and the world, and it warms our hearts to read the many entries in our guest book describing the fantastic times and the everlasting memories so many families have experienced at 1404 Ocean. We hope you can create your own memories in our lovely home as well!

What makes this property unique

The location is fantastic! This property is as close to the “action” part of the boardwalk (arcades, shops, restaurants between 6th street and 14th street) as you can get as there are actually no houses on this segment of the boardwalk. The boardwalk ramp is literally 100 steps from the front door….amazing!

This unit is also exceptionally spacious (2400 sq ft), and the unique design with four 4 “half levels” is great for giving a degree of separation and space amongst guests even when there is a full house.

The game room with slate pool table is a very unique feature in Ocean City and is a real hit with guests. We learn that the kids and teens love to hang out in the game room and upper deck, giving some “adult time” in the main level living areas and main deck.

We purchased this property in 2005 after an exhaustive search and were impressed with how spacious this unit was compared to the norm and how flexible the floor plan is. We also receive excellent comments for how well stocked the unit is and that we provide beach tags and 4 bikes.
