Lovely cottage beautifully decorated with the convenience of a front porch and fenced in yard. The location is excellent! Close proximity to the boardwalk which made it easy to come and go. We enjoyed the beach and the boardwalk daily and made a special trip down to Cape May for a dolphin and whale watch excursion which was only 45 minutes away. And, made a pit stop to Adventure Aquarium on the way home which was a lot of fun. Parking was a little challenging, but once you figure it out, it’s smooth sailing. I would definitely stay here again.

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

A perfect getaway!

Beautiful little cottage packed to the gills with amenities! There is nothing to want for. We bought our suitcase, two dogs and had a blast. The fenced in yard was everything for the pups. We had such a great time, we booked again before we left.

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!

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!

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!
