About this property

Celebrate Ocean City's 150th Anniversary! Stay in a 1928 Cottage in Old Town!

Light and spacious ground-level 2-bedroom apartment sleeps 4 comfortably. Complete kitchen, dining room, and living room with washer and dryer. Central air conditioning and heat. Covered porch with table and chairs offering views of both Boardwalk and Bay. Onsite parking and hot water outside shower. Bus stop located across street allows for car-free travel from Inlet to Fenwick 24 hours/day. We're located on the corner with a traffic light 6 houses to the Boardwalk. If you are looking to pack a house and party this is not the place for you. If, however, you want to be close to the action yet want a quiet, clean (we clean it ourselves), and roomy apartment with off street parking, then this is the place! Ideal for family of four, one or two couples, or Girls Getaway. No matter where people stay in OC, the Boardwalk is where they all end up! And remember, Ocean City's beaches are free! No need for badges to walk onto our 10 miles of beach.
Park here for free and walk or bike to OC's many restaurants and local pubs. On the Boardwalk at the end of the street you'll discover Thrashers Fries, an Ocean City Landmark. 5 streets to the South is the oldest Municipal Skateboard Park in the country. The Ocean City Lifesaving Museum at the South end of the boards is another must-see. If it rains one day of your stay why not head to the White Marlin Outlet Mall. And, if you get the time, a trip to Assateague National Park is recommended.
Ocean City, being 150 years old this year, has 150 Days of Celebrations planned featuring festivals, concerts, and family friendly events to mark this special occasion. Visit ococean.com/events for more info.
You must be 21 to stay. We no longer rent to graduating seniors. Weekly rentals from Saturday to Saturday.

Comfortable and convenient

This was our 2nd year in a row and we loved it! Great spot for our family, surprisingly quiet inside the apartment in such a busy area. Don is a caring and responsive property owner. He even came to our aid and fixed our child's toy so we didn't need to run to the hardware store for a screwdriver and batteries.

Great vacation rental for our family!

Great vacation rental, was very clean, had everything we needed. Only 1 block to the boardwalk and beach. Parking at the property was amazing! Oh and so was the host. The property is in old town so we were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go.

Calming getaway

The location was amazing. Just one crosswalk away from the gorgeous board walk and about 3 crosswalks away from the bay side. Almost everything is in walking distance. If we weren’t walking the boardwalk or on the gorgeous beach, we were relaxing on the comfortable front porch and making friends that would walk by the house. For the apartment only being 2 beds and 1 bathroom, it was very spacious and comfortable and very clean! The large parking area behind the house was definitely a rare and welcoming sight! Even being so close to the boardwalk, it was one of the most calming vacations we were ever on. There was no noise from the boardwalk at all, even during Jeep Week. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic Stay

This cottage apartment was perfect for us as a couple of couples staying five nights in OC. Our floor was completely separate from the rest of the cottage with easy access from two doors. It provided not only good lodging for the nights but also a comfy location to relax in while not out on the beach or visiting shops. It was so nice to load/unload everything on the ground floor and not have to mess with stairs or anything. Not featured in the listing is that there's a really nice garden just outside that gives the place a calming aroma. We very much appreciated being so close to the boardwalk and beach! Being able to take just a short stroll out to the ocean (which seemed less crowded than the beaches over by all the hotels) gave the whole visit a very casual and relaxed feel. The owner was very accommodating and looking to fix any issues we had. The whole experience was very smooth. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because my wife (who's admittedly VERY particular about such things) noticed a few dusty spots and some makeup from previous visitors on our dresser. All the main areas (living room, bathroom, and beds) were very clean though. Overall, we loved our stay and will likely look to stay here again if we return to Ocean City.

About the host

Hosted by Don Bloom

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We always said, ' it's not a Beach House unless you can walk to the Beach.' Don began visiting Ocean City as a child. This wonderful seaside home was built for the Trimper Family in 1928. The Trimpers have operated the Amusement Park at the inlet for over 100 years! We were the winning bidders when it came up for auction 20 years ago. We lovingly restored this survivor installing all new systems yet still managed to keep the old beach cottage charm.

What makes this property unique

Not at all like the cookie-cutter condos that tower over much of Ocean City, Blooms By The Sea is located on what was for years called 'Cottage Row' because of the many family homes here. It is one of the few great Ocean City homes still clad in cedar shingles. She has weathered many a storm since 1928 including the one in '33 that carved the Inlet which is still here to this day.
