About this property

Fresh and Clean! Ground Floor Apartment in Beautiful Historic District

This entire apartment is beautifully appointed. Fresh, clean, pet friendly, family friendly rental. 617 Central Ave, Ocean City, NJ. Ground floor (ceilings are shorter). This rental has three bedrooms - one with two twin beds, one with a full-sized bed, and one with a queen bed, - one bathroom with full shower, full eat-in kitchen, living room and laundry.

No off street parking; however, it's rarely a problem in the Historic District. There are no parking meters on our block.

Ocean City Historic District is a wonderful wholesome neighborhood. It’s perfect for any size family but geared towards a large family or groups interested in a beach vacation. You’ll enjoy the greenery and privacy. Take advantage of the farmers market and pony rides on the Tabernacle grounds 1/4 block away. There is so much to see and do in the original HEART of Ocean City.

Our lady is gracefully updated and centrally located to beach, boards, bay, parks, tennis, churches, shops and restaurants.

4 easy blocks to the beach, boardwalk. 3 houses to the Tabernacle greens. Three blocks to playground, tennis, basketball courts, soccer field, track and shuffleboard.
Relax on your own covered patio. You can save money and enjoy more family time by cooking in our well appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances or have the chance to enjoy the leftovers from that great restaurant.

1/2 block from the shopping and dining on Asbury Avenue.

Convenient to Bayside Center, exhibits and activities.

Ocean City, New Jersey is a world famous seashore community located in the heart of the Jersey Shore. At the northern tip of Cape May County, it is perfectly situated for a vacation; just 20 minutes from Atlantic City, 60 minutes from Philadelphia, and two hours from New York City.

It's all good! The beach has opportunities for swimming, surfing, boating, fishing, para sailing and more. The bay offers boating, jet ski, kayak, paddle boarding and fishing of all kinds. However, away from the more crowded venues there are many other kinds of enjoyment, many based on the environmental resources of the island, which do not receive the same kind of publicity.

The flavor is a cross between seashore casual and Philadelphia, and it is uniquely Ocean City. The light side of culture is also well represented in the fun-filled activities that are sponsored by the city for the benefit of visitors and residents alike. The Martin Z. Mollusk day and Miss Crustacean Contest, to the decorated boat parade on the bay in July known as Night in Venice, the Baby Parade in August and First Night Celebration and beautiful fireworks over the ocean on New Year’s Eve, with a large number of events in between, the city has made a concerted effort to welcome and entertain folks.

Most of these events are held at Ocean City's Historic and beautiful Music Pier for info and events see www.ocnj.us

The History!: The Ocean City Tabernacle was built between Wesley and Asbury Avenues and between 5th and 6th Streets. Camp Meetings were held by the following summer. In 1879, four Methodist ministers, Ezra B. Lake, James Lake, S. Wesley Lake and William Burrell chose the island as a suitable spot to establish a Christian retreat and camp meeting on the order of Ocean Grove. They met under a tall cedar tree, which stands today in the Lobby of the Ocean City Tabernacle. Having chosen the name Ocean City, the founders incorporated the Ocean City Association, laid out street and lots for cottages, hotel and businesses.

Fall in Ocean City NJ
The weather was great all week. High around 80 with nice breezes. Property is about 4 blocks from ocean and boardwalk. And just 1 block from shopping and eating. Summer visitors are gone so no crowds. This property has nice patios and NO steps which is great for me and my dogs.

Quaint apartment style condo, great locale and nice set-up.
Overall, this is a great rental, very fairly priced, cleaner than most rentals I have been in. My only draw back was parking is tricky for any large SUVs, due to the make up of the neighborhood. Also, great rental for dog people as the rental is directly across from the Tabernacle with lots of grass. Thumbs up! R. Allen

Amazing Vacation!!
It was a great week! Super close to the boardwalk, main drag with restaurants and shops. The only time we had to get in the car was to go to the dog beach, which was right over the bridge. Perfect weather, thank you Monique! I hope we can rent from you again!

Ideal location
The apartment was clean and cozy. I would not consider it a three bedroom, as the third bedroom was just room for a futon and no closet or AC. However the rest of the unit was very clean and comfortable. Close to shopping in the beach there was always plenty to do even if the weather was not perfect. The doggie beach was just over the long port bridge, and used it frequently with my dog. The owner was very accommodating and cooperative at all times. We definitely consider going back again next summer, God willing.

Great location-not cracked up to what we thought
The location is ideal! The porch is large but was moldy. The house is booked as 3 bedrooms which is not correct. 2 small bedrooms and a storage room that fits only a full size futon. Window air conditioning cooled bedrooms and main living area but not kitchen and ‘3rd’ bedroom. ‘3rd’ bedroom leaked from crazy storm and owner had repaired immediately next day. Wires sparked on our porch and was taken care of right away. Noise from tenants above was ridiculously loud. We had to buy ear plugs. Monique was always available when I called with an issue and fixed it within 24 hours. The tenants above is for last 10 days of our stay had small children that were not attended to and left to run late into the night above our unit😩.

Wonderful Week
We loved our stay at this location. The proximity to the boardwalk, downtown, places to walk our dog and the mature landscape of this street made it a delight! Monique is top notch with responsiveness and friendly dialogue. We appreciate that very much! We are already booked for next year! Thanks, Monique!

Lovely get away
A week at Ocean City in a cozy little beach house was just what we needed. The house is perfectly located to walk to the boardwalk, beach or the shops on Asbury Ave. We spent many hours sitting on the front porch watching the world go by and sipping on cool drinks. The only bad part was having to leave. :)

Great location near boardwalk and downtown shops and restaurants.
This place is cute and clean. Dog-friendly, which was great. Nice little park a block away to walk a dog. 5 minute walk to the beach. Very central location for boardwalk and all restaurants and shops downtown. Porch furniture could use some updating. Quite pleased with everything else.

Just What We Needed!
This was a great September beach rental. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of room, friendly neighbors, pet friendly, nice porch for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails, convenient to downtown and the boardwalk, about a ten or fifteen minute walk on Sunday morning to church and then Brown's for donuts, five minutes to Wonderland, and even more that I can't think of right now. We had three cars and parked right in front of the house all week long with no problems. Monique was a pleasure to deal with, as were the people living upstairs. The place was clean and inviting and I have nothing but good memories of our stay here. Thank you Monique!

WONDERFUL STAY
It was exactly as advertised - close to the beach, stores and restaurants. The kitchen, master bedroom and living rooms were spacious and well designed. The other rooms were totally functional and bright. There is an outside shower, which we used to clean our dog before re-entering the apartment. We'll book again!

Great September Get-a-Way!
Really enjoyed my stay in this unique and pet-friendly unit! Located in the historic/residential district, the street was both quiet and friendly and convenient to places to walk my dog. The unit was clean and smelled fresh, and every comfort was provided. I enjoyed the décor - old charming building but with a bit of urban flair inside. Monique, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and responsive and flexible in every way. Could not be happier and will definitely stay here again.

Very Nice Pet-Friendly place
Our fam ily stayed in this pet-friendly, lower-level place the last week of July, 2013. It was just as it was advertised and did not disappoint. Pluses are the spacious kitchen and the seating on the front porch. We loved the location, which is about a ten minute walk to the boardwalk and just one block from Asbury Ave with all its shops and restaurants. Having Ocean City Tabernacle just steps away was and and unexpected bonus. We LOVED the service there on Sunday morning, plus the farmer's market on Wednesday was terrific. I was a little conc erned that being so close to the firehouse would result in lots of sirens, but that wasn't the case at all. Some minor cons I would mention include lack of food storage in the kitchen (which has lots of counter space but little storage) and one other thing is that there is a rental property directly above, which results in some noise in this unit. In our case, we heard kids running around during the waking hours, but to us that wasn't a big deal. Also the neighbor to the north played his music slightly loud, but it was harmless stuff from the 80's and wasn't too annoying, and was only noticeable when on the front porch. Parking was never an issue. We could usually snag a spot right out front in the evening; in the day we typically used the municipal lot about a block away. My only complaint about the listing is that it says linens provided, but you do need to provide your own bedsheets and mattress pads plus your own towels. Maybe this is typical for OC, but since we're newbies we weren't sure. Good thing we brought our own stuff just in case. It's impossible to list all the nearby attractions we recommend, but here are a few: OC Tabernacle; Annie's 8th Street Cafe; Nonna's Trattoria; Primos Hoagies; and the coffee shop at 9th and Asbury whose name I can't recall.
