The madmen beach house was lovely. So much to do for all ages. The location is peaceful and away from the hustle bustle but close enough to get to everything. The house itself is very comfortable. The mattresses are great and bathrooms appealing and modern. The porch is a delight as there was always a breeze so even on the hottest days you could enjoy the view from the shade. Our youngest loved fishing and our oldest did some exploring on his bike. The neighborhood is very safe so it was nice taking the dog for a walk and I was able to squeeze in a nice run around the park nearby. Restaurants in OC were amazingā¦and the hostās recommendations were spot on. We followed up on several which did not disappoint. My husband and I had a fun date night at Liquid Assetsā¦and Restorante Antipasti on 31st was some of the best Italian weāve ever had in our lives. Additionally the host was responsive and also very kind to help when something came up that we needed. We hope to return and I would highly recommend this welcoming and relaxing home to anyone looking for a beautiful waterfront view in a quiet neighborhood setting.
I rented the home as a Christmas gift for my parents. We celebrated my moms 75th birthday with friends and family. Although it rained most of our stay we had a terrific time in the house. It offered everything we needed and more. Our family plans to return again next year and stay a longer. The owners are wonderful to work with.
The house is beautiful and it was very clean. It had plenty of kitchen supplies. There were six adults and we were in Ocean City for the Christmas Lights which was only a couple blocks away. No doubt it would be a great place for a family or group of adults in the summer months. Also, we love staying in North OC where youāre away from the larger crowds and close enough to plenty of great restaurants and activities.

We had a relaxing getaway. The place was beautiful, cozy, clean, great view, & loved that it was dog friendly. The owner Rebecca was very nice a pleasure to talk too & checked in to see if you needed anything to make sure your stay was wonderful!
We will definitely be back again!
Our family (5 adults and a dog) stay at the Mad Men beach house was great. The house is as advertised. No surprises. It was very clean and comfortable.
The newly done bathrooms were very nice. None of us wanted to get out of the showers..lol. The house was well stocked with everything needed (e.g., plates, pots/pans, silverware). That said, you do need to bring your own sheets and towels and provide paper products, condiments, etc.. A starter set of paper products was provided, though. One of the highlights of the house is the covered deck! It was always shady and breezy. There is plenty of seating on the deck and there is a built in gate to close it in (helpful with dogs and kids). I could sit out and read in the middle of the day! And, the water view is wonderful. I will note that the crabbing was not good off of the dock. No fresh caught steamed crabs for us.
But, it could have been a bad spell. And, there are great places to buy them. The location of the house is great. A very short walk to Northside Park, which is fabulous, as well as to the tennis courts, pool, a few restaurants, and a little grocery store. Most importantly, the communication from and with the owner during the whole process was top notch. "Customer service" goes a long way! For those of us with dogs, our choices are limited. I am so glad we found this house and appreciate that the owners embrace it (a wall of pics in the hall for all the dogs who have stayed at the house).
We really enjoyed our stay here! After many summers of staying on the boardwalk, we weren't sure how we would like staying this far uptown. The community was wonderful and the beach was an easy walk. The house was clean and had plenty of space and all that we needed. The bay views still gave us that beachy feel and added bonus that we could bring our pup! Very communicative host made everything seamless.
The owners really pay attention to details. From the old bay spice left on the counter to the clean and fresh decor ...they care . The description of the house online is very accurate in person . The little dock of the bay in the back was great to crab and boat . I liked the keyless entry system as I am known for losing keys . We would book again for sure . The kiddos were sad to leave . Overall a great beach cottage
Rebecca's house was perfect. It's within walking distance to the ocean, and having the water in the backyard was a beautiful backdrop! Everything about the space was perfect, a very user Friendly House, comfortable and fun to stay at. We came during February, so although it was not warm beach weather, you still can totally enjoy the ocean, when nobody is there! Just know that a lot of places are not open year round. But what a relaxing week. Rebecca was very attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. What a wonderful host she is!
We had an amazing time at our winter getaway! The house was clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were super comfortable! We loved the little touches like the guest book, Xmas tree, and dog wall! Although we ate all of our meals out the kitchen looked well stocked! We enjoyed playing games and being able to take our dogs along! The location is close to great restaurants, the beach, and entertainment! I would definitely go back in warmer weather to enjoy the deck, kayaks, and outdoor movies! Thank you for allowing our family to share your amazing piece of Ocean City!
I wanted a quiet retreat, away from the hustle and bustle and I couldn't have picked a more perfect place for our getaway! The bay views are serene and always in view! I loved the reflection of the water inside the house in the mornings! The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the beach and a short walk to the Festival of Lights at Northside Park, an annual tradition for us! The house has everything you need, the beds are really comfortable, the decor is perfection and the host is communicative and has really thought of everything to ensure the best stay. We will most definitely be back. Thank you Rebecca for such a memorable time!
First time using VRBO. The wife and I were looking for a quiet and relaxing place in OC. We found it at the Mad Men Beach House. We both really enjoyed the deck with views of the bay. The home is beautiful and everything was perfect - just like the photos on the VRBO listing. The host (Rebecca) communicated with us throughout the process and her local recommendations for activities and restaurants were spot on. Great location - we even squeezed in a day trip to Chincoteague Island.
I booked this place for a nice fall getaway with my family, friends and our pups, and it was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone, very dog friendly with grass and a great deck on the water! Also super walkable to restaurants and the beach! Also wanted to note, I didn't need to contact the owners for anything, but we messaged before the trip and Rebecca was very responsive! Definitely going to try book here again!
There were 5 adults that stayed plus 1 dog. The accuracy in the photos advertising this home is misleading. Using a wide angle lense distorts the actual size of the rooms. It is not as spacious as shown especially the room with the bunk beds. One adult had to sleep in there. No place for necessities, no dresser for clothes and one small little area to walk. She had to use the adjacent beds for places to put her belongings and the mattress is terrible. A double bed would have suited this room better instead of trying to accommodate too many people. You can't even get at the window to open it for air. The master bath is nice. Newly renovated. It's just difficult to step in and out of the tub. It is very high. Handicap bars would be useful here. The second bath needs updating. The toilet seat does not fit properly. The outside of the refrigerator has seen better days unless it just needs a good stainless cleaner. The washer and dryer are great. Very new. The coffee maker is great. We just had to Google the owners manual to figure out how to make a single cup. We did not use the projector. We did use the kayaks and had a great ride to Harpoon Hannah's. Overall, we had a nice week until Friday, when Hurricane Ian was moving up the coast but we were leaving Saturday anyway so we didn't care. We got 5 great days at the beach. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share their home. Rebecca was very responsive with texting.
We had an amazing time at Mad Men Beach House! We loved having our own house. It was clean and the perfect size for 7 of us. We enjoyed hanging out on the back deck, kayaking, paddle boarding (we brought our own), and going to the beach. There are many places to eat. We enjoyed grabbing a quick bite and eating on the beach! Communication with Rebecca was great. We had a small issue that was resolved quickly. Overall, it was a nice break and so relaxing! Thanks for the great get away!
Rebecca was wonderful to work with and we loved the property. The house is updated and plenty of indoor/ outdoor space for lounging. The location is great for restaurants, the beach, and kid friendly areas. Already planning our next vacation to come back!
The location was good and very convenient. Being on the canal was nice and relaxing . The fire stick access was good for options for family relaxing together in the evening.
The room with bunk beds was a little tight for comfort for our group.
We enjoyed our two nights stay!
Our stay at Mad Men was great. Property was very clean and as described in the listing. We loved waking up and seeing the bay. The neighborhood is very nice, short walk to the beach and places to eat, even in the off-season. We loved that there was a pack and play, stroller, and toys for our 2 year old- made packing for her much easier. Rebecca was a great and communicative host.
Enjoyed a great off season stay! Pre-arrival instructions were detailed and all needed information clearly communicated. House was very comfortable - and with a good weather week in November, we enjoyed sitting out on the deck and even dropped the kayaks into the bay inlet for some afternoon paddling! Short walk(couple of blocks) to the beach for morning walks/sunrise views. Another benefit of the off season was being able to walk over to the Winterfest of Lights Celebration- which was beautiful and a lovely way to end the day. Drove to Assateague several times and overall had a great stay!
Loved staying here. The water access was very nice and a great view. The rooms are small but that did not bother us at all. Very clean! Would definitely stay here again.
