The Beacon Ocean City | 7BR Near It All

Welcome to the Beacon House – The Ultimate Ocean City Getaway!
This spacious and charming property offers two separate living units, making it an ideal choice for large families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for plenty of space to spread out and enjoy Ocean City together. Nestled in the heart of Ocean City, this home is just 7 blocks from the beach. With a prime location close to a variety of eateries, shops, and attractions, you'll have everything you need right at your fingertips.

The two units together offer 7 bedrooms, 2 full kitchens, 2 cozy living rooms, and 4 bathrooms—plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. There's also a driveway with room for 2 average-sized vehicles and a spacious yard, perfect for enjoying the outdoors after a day of fun.

HONESTY and EXPECTATIONS:
At "The Beacon Ocean City", we want our guests to have a clear understanding of the distinctions between vacation rentals and hotels. While we diligently maintain our properties, wear and tear are inherent aspects of vacation rentals. Although we address issues promptly, the high volume of guests may result in occasional delays between stays. Any significant damage or serious concerns are prioritized and resolved before a guest's check-in, provided we are made aware of the issue.

CLEANING:
Our dedicated cleaning team meticulously sanitizes and cleans each home. Unlike standard hotel rooms, homes entail a more detailed cleaning process due to their larger size. Despite our team's efforts to ensure optimal cleanliness, minor oversights may occur. For substantial errors, we are committed to rectifying the situation promptly. While we take pride in our cleaning standards, we ask for understanding that, as in any human endeavor, perfection is not always attainable, especially when minor details have no direct impact on your stay.

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS:
As private residences, it's important to recognize that household items may break or require repairs during your stay. While we understand the inconvenience this may pose to our guests, it's equally disruptive for us. Appliances such as water tanks, HVAC systems, dishwashers, and refrigerators may experience issues. We cannot guarantee immunity from such occurrences, but we pledge to address and resolve any situation swiftly. While we assure our commitment to guests' well-being, we're honest about the potential for unforeseen issues.

AMENITIES:
-WiFi included; exterior ring camera security for added safety.
-Linens, towels, and basic amenities provided.
-Guests must purchase their own amenities when stock runs out.

OUR COMMITMENT:
We strive to provide each guest with a 5-star experience, enabling them to truly enjoy their getaways. However, we acknowledge that achieving absolute perfection in a private residence may be unrealistic. If a flawless experience is your expectation, a vacation property rental might not align with your preferences. Our aim is to be transparent, manage expectations, and ensure a comfortable stay for all our valued guests.

We take pride in offering a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Please review and follow our house rules to ensure a great experience. – Cozy Cohost LLC
