Shore Getaway

This was a great condo for a great price. Location is close to the rides and beach but not too close to the hustle and bustle/noise. Would have liked more cabinets in the kitchen for food/storage. Like to cook our meals. Had a great week.

Close to beach and boardwalk. Was great to go to pool (which was very clean and refreshing) after a day at the beach. A plus is the covered parking which made it easy to pack during a storm. Inside was clean and comfortable with great appliances. We brought our own Keurig as we prefer that over a regular coffee maker.

Beautiful and very comfortable!

We rented this year here and would absolutely return. The condo feels like a home. The proximity to the boardwalk, town, and the pool are perfect. We enjoyed most of our time out on the deck watching the lights on the boardwalk at night! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Prime location!

My husband & 15 month old son had the best time in OCNJ! This condo is in a prime location right in the center of town. We were able to walk to the beach, boardwalk, lots of restaurants, coffee shops and shopping a block or 2 away. Perfect stay for us on our mini vacation. The condo was nice and clean, comfortable and quiet. Pool was a nice plus too. Thanks so much!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Speers

Sisters, Brooke and Brittany Speers, vacationed with their family in Ocean City and have many wonderful memories of days on the beach and nights on the boardwalk. Both sisters are both presently on Active Duty, Brooke (left) Major, USMC and Brittany (right) LCol in US Army Nurse Corps. Both have served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan (total of 5 deployments). Whenever possible, they head for Ocean City for Rest and Relaxation (R&R)

Why they chose this property

Brooke and Brittany's parents, Tom and Suzanne Speers, also own a condo in Santa Barbara South. Tom's mother grew up in Ocean City and his grandfather, Capt. Jack Jernee, was the captain of the Ocean City Beach Patrol in the 1930s. So it was natural that the sisters grew up enjoying the delights of Ocean City: days on the beach, body surfing and evenings on the Boardwalk. It is our wish that you too will fall in love with Ocean City and enjoy some R&R at Santa Barbara South

What makes this property unique

This condo is simple but quite adequate for a couple or small family. There is a full kitchen complete with dishwasher, microwave, electric stove and refrigerator for those interested in cooking. The living room has a queen size sofa bed and entertainment center. The bedroom has a queen size bed and a large closet. A sliding door opens from the bedroom onto a private balcony which is a great place to eat meals or just hang out, relax and read a book.
