We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue House. The house is located just a few blocks (about a 5-minute) walk to the beach. It's at the northern end of Ocean Beach, so about a 15-minute drive to the Boardwalk. We went during the offseason, so Ocean Beach was pretty quiet and rainy overall, but we still found things to do, like mini golf, an escape room, Ripley's Believe It or Not, surf shops like Ron Jon and Quiet Storm, fresh cut fries at Thrashers, etc. The house is also about a 25-minute drive from Assateague Island where we got to see the wild horses on the beach. Definitely worth the trip! We started our morning with walks down to the park where the kids played pickle ball (also included with the house) and box soccer on the racquetball courts! It's a great place to walk the dogs, with lot of grass and doggie bags. :)
The layout of the house is really great for a family. My kids loved waking up each morning and sitting at the kitchen bar to eat breakfast and watch our favorite shows on the large flatscreen TV. We loved the open floorplan, well-equipped kitchen, complete with coffee grinder, french press, and an espresso machine. Our dogs loved the front porch off the front of the house, a safety gate is included if you want to block off the front steps!
Neil and Heather were awesome hosts answering all our questions before and during our trip. They even had fresh donuts delivered on our first morning. Highly recommend the house and hosts! Hope to be back soon!
