This property was perfect for our annual 8 man golf trip. The house and property is in great shape and located close to everything you need including restaurants, grocery stores, beer and liquor stores and beach access. The host is very friendly, easy to communicate with, responds very quickly and check-in was a breeze. I would recommend this property as a vacation rental.

Great place, great location

We were there in the off season, so I can only imagine it's that much better when it's beach weather. Place was big and clean. Owner was on point, and readily available if needed.

wonderful family stay!

My family of 14 stayed at this beach house for a week in June and had a wonderful stay! We especially loved the large family rooms and the well stocked kitchen. Our favorite part was how close we were to the beach :) Brigitta was so helpful and communicative. Will def stay here again if we get the chance!

Great family vacation

Our family group has had a summer vacation together for over 30 years. We have stayed at many nice properties on the bayside so this was a special treat being Oceanside. The house was wonderful and accommodated our large group very well. Also we were next door to another group of family members. Great location and very close to everything. Highly enjoyed our stay.

Great Experience at the Big Yellow House

This property is in a great location with easy access to shops and restaurants and any easy walk to the beach. The house was terrific with ample parking and was very clean. The owner/property manager communication was excellent with very clear instructions ahead of our stay The owner was very attentive during our stay with any concerns/questions addressed immediately and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Fenwick Island/Ocean City Maryland.

Absolute Perfection!

I can't stress enough how wonderful our stay was! The house is awesome, with more than enough room for all of us (15 women) and everything you'd need for cooking, beaching, etc. Very clean and comfortable. It really is "steps from the beach," making it so easy to relax on the beach all day but pop back for lunch. Communicating with Brigitta was easy - she was accommodating and quick to respond. 10/10 would recommend!

Beach perfection

Everything about Brigitta's beach house was excellent. The location is perfect - a 3 minute walk to the beach. The house is extremely well-equipped, and it was impeccably clean. Brigitta is super responsive, and she answered all of my questions clearly and quickly. We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend, and this was largely due to her wonderful house!

Fantastic find!

We loved this big yellow house! It was absolutely perfect for our party of 9. Very spacious, comfortable, and clean. All the bedrooms are a good size and the common area is nice and open. Lots of parking spaces. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The location is fantastic!! Less than a block to the beach, easy walk for food, water park, go-karts. Highly recommend and would love to stay there again!
