Does a stress-free holiday in a beautifully decorated, immaculate home with plenty of space, yet plenty of privacy, sound appealing? Let us help! Our inviting home can easily accommodate up to 43 members of your family in three separate, but adjoining units, allowing everyone to be together when they desire, or have a break when they need one. We will clean and decorate our gorgeous, antique-furnished home so you can actually ENJOY the holidays. If you love to cook, we have a huge, fully stocked kitchen with LOTS of Corian counter space for you to prepare your favorite meal. If you rent the entire home, you have the use of three full kitchens! If cooking is just another chore, we can suggest caterers. My father made the beautiful kitchen table in the Main House for our farm-house kitchen when I was a child. Hundreds of families have shared meals and memories around this table, and I know my father smiles from heaven every time! Between the kitchen and adjoining bar, approximately 24 people can be accommodated. The family room and living room have additional seating for 16, so up to 40 people can enjoy a meal on one floor of our home. Weather permitting, our lovely courtyard is available with seating for 40 outdoors.
Valentine’s Day (February 14th): Surprise your better half with a romantic weekend in our marvelous home. Wake up to fabulous ocean views, stroll the beach and boardwalk, shop the 100+ stores on Asbury Avenue, dine at one of our terrific restaurants (we recommend The Tuckahoe Inn), enjoy a Cabaret of Broadway Love Songs at the Music Pier (tickets are $15), relax in our oversized Jacuzzi while sipping champagne and indulging in chocolates… We will be happy to assist you in making the weekend special by ordering roses, chocolates, etc.
Easter Weekend: Many sunrise worship services, an Easter parade, The Great Egg Hunt on the beach with many thousands of filled Easter Eggs (in different areas for various age groups), the famous HALF PRICE ride ticket sale, and Breakfast with the Easter Bunny, the Woofin’ Paws Pet Fashion Show, the Easter Fashion Promenade. Quite a few shops are open on the boardwalk for Easter weekend – a very popular holiday in our town. Many places of worship for all denominations are open throughout the year in Ocean City.
Halloween (last two weekends in October): activities include: FREE hayrides on the boardwalk, a Halloween parade, kid-friendly Haunted House, Little Shop of Horrors, Candlelight reading: an Evening of Mystery and Suspense, and trick or treating! Have a fun Halloween party in our courtyard (see courtyard photos) or a costume party in what some people swear is a TRULY HAUNTED HOUSE. See for yourself if the old woman in a Victorian dress will add to your night of fright….
Thanksgiving: What could be better than gathering your family for a memorable, stress-free Thanksgiving celebration in our beautifully furnished home? Complete with lovely mums and autumn decorations, the smell of a roasted turkey and all the trimmings, a 32-inch flat screen televisions so no one misses the games… And don’t worry, only 20 minutes away you will find two malls, several electronics stores, book stores, arts and crafts stores, Kohl’s, Walmart, Kmart, Lowe’s and Home Depot (unfortunately our favorite store) for ALL of your Day-after-Thanksgiving Shopping. Worried about missing Cyber Monday deals? No worries ~ we have WIFI!
Christmas: We decorate the outside of our home with hundreds of white lights, lots of wreaths and garlands. The inside is decorated in the Victorian style with many greens, lots of white lights, wall hangings, beautiful crystal and Lenox, Christmas stockings, a nativity, and two life-like, artificial Christmas trees (one in the kitchen, one in the living room) with dozens of Victorian-style ornaments. Many places of worship for all denominations are open throughout the year in Ocean City. See the photos of our fireplace and staircase – absolutely beautiful!
