Cutest house in Ocean City!

We had a wonderful weekend at the Bella Cottage! Was close to the bay, but yet could walk to the beach and boardwalk with ease. Great house with a perfect yard! We would definitely love to stay here again! Thanks Alison for being a perfect host and sharing your beautiful house with us!

Cozy cottage in a great location!

Our family had a wonderful time here! Lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance-Asbury Ave especially! The cottage is accessible for my son's wheelchair- which was necessary for us. Also our dogs loved the fenced in yard! Beautifully decorated! Everything we needed for a relaxing vacation in Ocean City!

Lovely unique cottage w/ all the comforts of home

We loved this little place. It was the only place on the island that met all our needs: all on one level for grandma and a fenced yard for the kids. There are so many fun things to do in Ocean City, especially for the children. We had our daily adventures and were always glad to come "home" to the cottage. Lovely home away from home, decorated adorably and comfortably. We all slept well - it's quiet at night even though it's near main streets. Its a short walk to lovely shops and restaurants.

Really perfect

I’ve stayed at the sane place for 15 years prior to this week and in addition to needing a pivot for scheduling reasons, we wanted to try a space with a yard. We travel with dogs; they are our family. The cottage did not disappoint ! We loved the porch, the yard, and the cozy spaces. Alison was a great host and stayed in constant communication as needed but was not over- bearing. We loved it and will be back!

Hanging at the Beach

We had a great stay, the property is fantastic if you have pets because the fenced in yard gives them somewhere to hangout and not just be stuck in the house. The neighborhood is great for walking pups. While the beach is walkable- it is not exactly close to the cottage- would recommend either driving and parking or bringing a beach cart, beach tags were included which is great because they did get checked. The only 2 things that would've made our stay even better- newer window AC units and a few more cable channels- ESPN, MSNBC, HGNetwork. Another great feature is location- easy to get to and easy to get to Atlantic City etc. We had a fantastic stay overall.

Lovely cottage but tech not working

I was thrilled to find a house with a fenced yard who accepted 3 small dogs! It's a lovely cottage. I was so stressed and needed a no-drama vacation. We loaded up and arrived at the cottage. We couldn't get in the gate (I read it gets stuck from another review...and still does). Got in, put the wifi code in my phone...couldn't comnect. Phoned owner...she forgot they changed network/nerwork name. So new code and now I could order dinner. Turned on the TV ( advertised Comcast/Xfinity AND smart tv LR and main). Every channel..need a subscription, so no news or local channels. We put in our Prime password and watched a movie. Took dogs for a walk then we were tired so put the pups to bed and went to bed. Turned on the TV...nothing. Found the network...unable to connect. Texted owner...advice was to turn it off and on, unplug. We did that before calling. so no TV. Got up early and was going to watch the news and have coffee. It was 50 degrees...so too cold to head to dog beach. Turned on the TV to watch the news. Tried to connect multiple ways. Frustrated. So we packed up and left. We relax by watching TV. It was an advertised amenity and not available. I believe as an owner, you have a responsibility to make sure things work before tenants move in...not during. It just made my stress worse. So if you rent this house just know that the tech could be a problem.

Perfect Getaway!

Alison's house is adorable!! She really puts a lot time and thought into her decor. I appreciated this because it created such a nice atmosphere vs. some rentals that are just bare bones. The front porch and front yard were my favorite; comfortable and clean furniture and the house is set back from the road so it's quiet and relaxing. The location was great-such a quick walk to Asbury Avenue which is where the local downtown shops and restaurants are. It was also nice to go for a run on the 9th street bridge in the mornings. Alison was also very responsive and informative through the whole process. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things! I will definitely be coming back!

Cute Cottage in Ocean City

My husband, pup, and I spent a couple of relaxing days in this cottage at the Jersey Shore. The size was perfect for the three of us and the fenced yard was a bonus. The cottage was in walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. The owner, Allison, was a pleasure to work with stores, and the boardwalk. Alison

Perfect for long weekend

We love Ocean City and typically stay in the South End. We wanted to have our pup stay with us this trip so this was a good choice. Owner is terrific-easy to reach and responsive. Location is on a rather busy street, set back from the street. House is tiny, well stocked with one small bathroom. Overall very comfortable for a short stay. We will bring bikes next trip!

Charming, Comfortable, and Convenient

I live in Florida and visit my mom every summer. This year, we decided to get away for a few days in Ocean City, NJ. We needed a first floor option for my elderly mom & pet-friendly accommodations for my dog. With its fenced in yard, convenient location, beautiful decor & comfy beds, this place was perfect. Alison was a pleasure to work with, too. Highly recommended!
