3rd time we have rented at this location, which is charming, affordable, and convenient to beach/town center. We will definitely rent again!

Just a quintessential Old Bay Head Cottage! We hope it doesn’t change and family can do it again!!!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2020
The beds were comfy, the shower is great, the tv is great, the WiFi was less than acceptable.. The location was perfect...away from Rt 35 and on a lagoon which was very quiet. So if the landlord can slap some paint on the interior., clean up the outside, it would be a real GEM!
