• We are easily accessible via text, email or phone any time except sleeping hours which are 8am-9:30pm.
• Our handyman, Mark, is close by to help with any problems if they arise.
• One of Ocean City's best-kept secrets is "Montego Bay Residential Community" where Mad Men Beach House is located. It's quiet, yet close to bus transit, and the ocean is just a short 7 minute walk across Coastal Highway. Restaurants, shopping, and bars are all within walking distance. We love being a short drive or bus ride to the Ocean City boardwalk, yet far enough away to have some peace and quiet.
We're just a mile from the Delaware line, so it's an easy drive to the Delaware beaches: Dewey, Bethany and world-famous Rehoboth Beach, with plenty of quaint shops, restaurants and eateries, boardwalk, Funland amusement park and nearby outlet shopping, all sales-tax free!
• The neighborhood is family friendly with wide streets and sidewalks and room to ride bikes, roller blades, etc. There are two community pools, two tennis courts, miniature golf and even shuffleboard available for guests. There is a community bay-front boardwalk, a pond and nature preserve with a half-mile walking path around it. Ocean City's Northside Park is located adjacent to the community with ball parks, soccer fields, running paths, playgrounds and crabbing/fishing piers.
• Assateague Island State Park and National Seashore, where you can see the famous wild horses, is about an hour away and a really fun day trip!
• The closest grocery stores are Montego Bay Super Thrift, Food Lion and 인터네숀날푸드마겥. A CVS pharmacy is a few blocks away as well. The closest place to get coffee is the Fractured Prune, with delicious hot, fresh, "to-die-for" donuts, but it's carry-out only. Nearby (and even walkable) restaurants include The Crab Bag (best all-you-can-eat steamed crabs in OC), Duffy’s Tavern (great food in a fun, Irish pub setting with an outdoor Tiki bar), Grotto Pizza (our favorite!), and The Original Crabcake Factory (best crab cakes in the U.S.!), amongst many others.
• We're pleased to be located close to a variety of houses of worship, so you needn't miss the opportunity for a spiritual uplift while you're vacationing with us! Within walking distance is the Chabad Lubovich Center on Ocean Highway by 137th street; just a short drive down Ocean Highway you'll find Saint Peter Lutheran Church, Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, Saint Luke Catholic Church and Saint George Greek Orthodox Church. The south end of OC is home to Methodist, Baptist and non-denominational churches if any of those are your preference.
•Guests have full access to the home, deck, dock, 2 kayaks, and shed to store beach gear. Fishing is free at the home’s private dock - no license is required. (Towels, linens, pillow cases, paper products and toiletries not provided).

Ocean City, Maryland has a fantastic bus system that runs up and down Ocean Highway all day and night from April 8 through September 22 for only $3 per day!!! Catch it at the corner of 130th street and get off and on as many times as you like. It will take you south to the Boardwalk in Ocean City and north to the 144th Street Transit Station, where you can transfer to the DART (Delaware Authority for Regional Transit) bus that runs all the way up to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and its nearby outlet malls. There are also taxis, Lyft and Uber, bikes, motor scooters, boats, jet skis, and even paddle boards that you can rent nearby.
•We do not provide linens, sheets, and pillowcases. (Please do not sleep on our pillow shams that go with our coverlet/quilt bedding, they are for decor only and can be easily taken off to put your own pillowcases on if you don't bring your own pillow). We do not provide towels, toiletries, soaps, paper products and trash bags. There is a Dollar Tree store at the shopping strip a short walk from our home to pick up these items if needed.
• Due to insurance liability and the rules of our HOA we cannot lease to anyone under 25 years old. There must be someone at least 25 years old present in order to rent our home.
• There are NO PARTIES ALLOWED! We are in a quiet, tight-knit, residential community. Our neighbors will not hesitate to report any excessive noise to the Police and to us! Immediate eviction with **NO REFUND** will result if there is a party on the property.
• Please, no smoking in the house! If you need to smoke, do it outside and please properly dispose of your cigarette butts! Don't leave them littered about.
• Trash pickup is Monday (Thursday as well in summer months) so we ask you roll the trash cans out to the curb Sunday and Wednesday nights (with wheels facing the house, lip facing the street). Then please bring them back up to the top of the parking pad by the house after pick up.
• If you're used to recycling, this may come as a shock to you, but there is no recycling in Ocean City! Just put everything in the trash. The city has a contract with a high-tech power generation company that uses it to generate electricity and extracts the metals from the waste byproduct.
• In the Spring, Summer and Fall, Ocean City's smallest residents, the ants, are active. Our home is very inviting and we do occasionally have these uninvited guests! Their intrusions will be minimized if you keep the counters wiped and kitchen floor swept! The good news is we have a year-round contract with a pest control company to keep the home ant-free, so if you do see any during your stay, give me a call or let me know in a private message and I will have the pest control company come out to do an extra spray. Thank you!
• Please read the complete set of rules to ensure you will have a safe, fun, pleasant and comfortable stay at our home!
• You must sign an agreement 24hours prior to your check in date to use the movie screen and projector for your stay.
