The Perfect Place

Thank you so much for sharing your place with us. We did LOVE it and had a wonderful family vacation time. The grandchildren learned how to fish and crab right there on the dock area. The grownups (and grandchildren) enjoyed our half day pontoon boat trip, our days on Assateague Island, nights on the Boardwalk among the many things we did for week. The weather cooperated, so we were able to do everything on our "to do" list. We were all exhausted, but not so much that we didn't already start planning our next year's OCMD trip. It's a yearly thing for us. It was a pleasure working with the vacation rental homeowner.

Great location, but wasn’t satisfied with my experience

Great location! The washing machine wasn’t draining and it took a couple of days to get repaired. The hvac unit wasn’t cooling the house. After a couple of days, the repair technician told me that it didn’t have a filter in place and the unit needed a major repair. The repair wasn’t made during my stay and the home averaged 80* inside and was definitely uncomfortable.

Crumbling in nearly every room and failing air conditioning makes for a horrible vacation

While the deck looks great from the water and in the pictures, it is literally crumbling everywhere. The deck boards are similar to the ocean waves and the pickets are falling apart. Forget about sitting on the upper deck adjacent to the master bedroom, it is not safe for even the smallest child. Everyone who stayed or visited tripped on the dilapidated deck boards and the same for the flooring inside the house. I should have listened to the previous reviews regarding the cleanliness. While it appeared clean on first blush, only the immediate surfaces have ever been dusted. The bathrooms were so outrageously dirty, we had to go to the store and buy bleach, a mop and paper towels we could throw away after cleaning the gobs of nasty hair and dirt left on the walls, floors and sinks in both upstairs bathrooms. Even worse than the crumbling deck, floors and walls, the air conditioning only worked upstairs in the two guest bedrooms. The house never cooled below 85 degrees on the hottest days of the year during the 4th of July. We had to spend a small fortune on fans just to be able to tolerate the soaring heat. If you plan to allow your children to swim in this area - forget it! It is not safe for anyone to swim in the canals here. The boat traffic is not only voluminous, but constant. We were even concerned about putting kayaks in the water the boat traffic was so heavy. Good luck finding the place upon arrival as there is no street sign to indicate the direction of the townhouse. I highly suggest renting elsewhere. I would never consider staying in this run down, unkempt hot box.

Perfect family place

The place was perfect for our family of 7! Very clean, quiet relaxing community. We loved waking up every morning and sitting on the back porch watching the fish jump in the canal! We walked to the beach daily and to buddy’s one night for drinks! We got a Walmart delivery for groceries very convenient location!

We had a nice time with our boat here. It was easy to dock and when a storm blew in it didn’t get thrown. Loved all the space in the kitchen and the updated downstairs. Thanks for sharing your home.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Property was exactly as described and clean upon arrival. Our only disappointments were that the grill didn’t have propane and the back patio umbrella was broken.

Great location for a family trip

This little community on Gull Way is a great place to stay. Every house is close proximity to the pool. We chose this house because it was on the end of the row. The house was recently renovated, which was really nice, and has a boat slip (with lift). The house has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, so it’s convenient for the family. Right down the street from Jolly Roger (great place to visit) and under 10 minuets to the inlet/end of boardwalk. The owners were very pleasent to work with and always responded quickly/professionally. I would recommend this place!

Love Gull Way!

The only thing that would have made the vacation better is a new mattress in the master. The frame is broken and the mattress sinks to the middle. Other improvements to the home are very nice. Thanks for a great week!

Wonderful modern townhouse. Great location.

We stayed here in July with 3 teenage boys. The home was even better than the pictures. Clean and neat with modern decor. Everything was well organized and labeled with many nice courtesies left for guests. The home had plenty of room for us all and the location was near to everything and perfect for our boat. We found the neighbors were welcoming and friendly. The pool was also nice to have right out front. A nice addition for boaters is the lot to park your trailer. I reached out to the owner to ask a question and recieved a prompt and friendly response. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend to others.

34th Anniversary

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything that was described was on point. Very close to everything. The corner property with the deck around us made it better. Crab traps were under the deck. We were able to keep six of the crabs we caught. It was a very relaxing house.

This was our 3rd stay at this property and it was great! Only issue was with the owners of the other units. They treat renters like they're 2nd class citizens. Many of them wouldn't even greet or acknowledge us when we said hi or bye.

Great rental for families, loved the outdoor space and the sunset views.

Thanks so much for sharing your summer home, we had wonderful weather and the location was perfect. The over cleanliness of the home was acceptable but the kitchen could use a real good wipe down. The major issues we had were with the sliding door to go out to the deck was very difficult to open and shut and there was a deck plank(right in the middle) that was warped and caused a major trip hazard.(we put a chair over it to prevent issues). The flooring in the hallway outside the kitchen was cracked and coming up so we placed a carpet over it to prevent further damage. One recommendation that we have was to put a dresser in the master in place of the trunk. Since the closet space was awkward, drawers would have been helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Josh Wilt

Host profile image
I am Dr. Sharon Yoder and am a full time national speaker and a professor at Wilmington University in Dover, Delaware. A world traveler , was single Mom with 5 children and grew up in Ohio, however, the ocean stole our hearts!

Why they chose this property

We love this corner lot. with water on 2 sides. It is lovely to have a beautiful, well-cared for swimming pool about 50 steps away from our front door and a dock for boats and crabbing for the children. The view from the upper deck reminds me of Venice when I drink my morning coffee!

What makes this property unique

This property is so close to everything and yet so peacerful and quiet. Unbelieveable , but true. We are a 10 minute nice walk to the ocean, a 5 minute walk to the water park and children's rides and a wonderful, safe area for bike riding, a great pub within walking distance and a quick walk to catch a bus to the boardwalk or if you do not want to drive.
