On the peaceful south end of Ocean City, this quiet 1st floor at 54th & Simpson is conveniently located four blocks from the beach, two blocks from the 53rd street playground, short stroll to Ala Mode ice cream, Mallon’s sticky buns and other 55th street food options, close to Boardwalk Jitney stop, less than a mile from Corson’s Inlet State Park and just over the bridge from Strathmere restaurants. Enclosed patio and large grass yard are perfect for family meals and relaxing after the beach. Both bedrooms (I queen, 1 full) have their own AC and fan and the air-conditioned den/dining room has a twin daybed and trundle to sleep 6 comfortably. The well-stocked kitchen includes fridge, oven/stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster. Separate living room has 44in Roku TV and wifi. In addition to a full bath there is a small powder room/mud room with washer and dryer off the porch and an enclosed outdoor shower (shared with 2nd floor) for after-beach rinse as well as a covered storage area for stowing beach gear beneath the steps. There is plenty of on-street parking. Small dog will be considered on a case-by-case basis. ($200 cleaning fee for the week will be added for any dog approved to stay.) First and Second floor can be rented together if both are free for larger family/group stays. (2nd floor is a 2+1 efficiency - 1 queen, 2 twins - with large deck and outdoor steps to its own entrance.) NOTES: As is typical of Jersey Shore beach rentals we do not provide linens or towels. Renters bring their own. Ocean City beaches require beach tags, which can purchased on the beach. For those unfamiliar with Ocean City, New Jersey it is a "dry" island - alcohol can be brought on and consumed, but is not sold in stores or restaurants on the island. As a result Ocean City tends to be family oriented and very quiet at night. Strathmere, just over the 55th street bridge has "full service" restaurants, just minutes away. Atlantic City is 25 miles, about a 30 minute drive, north. The south end is the quietest end - the boardwalk is on the north end, and accessible by Jitney or car. Corson's State Park is great place to walk, birdwatch, fish or launch a boat or canoe.
