This is what our first guests in December 2020 had to say: We LOVED your place!! We have rented places in Ocean City for 12 plus yrs but your place was hands down the best, a 5 star hotel with all the amenities. The house was clean, fresh, nicely decorated and well stocked. Good location too. We will definitely be back.

Since 2002, we’ve called the The Gardens of Ocean City our second home, where we savor the peacefulness of the shore as a retreat from our busy lives. We are thrilled to share the experience with others at The Seagate. Enjoy the tranquility of the sea, children playing in the sand, the topnotch restaurants of Margate, the fun of the boardwalk and best of all, making special memories with family and friends. We hope you enjoy your time in Ocean City as much as we do! Follow us on Instagram @theseagatehouse.

    The Seagate house on Seacrest in Ocean City is a gem! We have stayed there 4 siblings and their significant others) multiple times and it never disappoints. The rooms are nicely appointed, the beds are all comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you might want including great cookware and even a crockpot. The 10 beach tags were great. A beach is literally steps from the door. If you like birds, piping plovers nest nearby. Two of us did some work there and the internet worked flawlessly. There were some burned out lights when we arrived on June 7, 2026 but the owner sent a handyman right away who obtained the specialty bulbs needed. We used the bikes (and the grill) that were in the garage. My only quibble is that the bike locks, which in past years we have stayed here worked perfectly, no longer opened with the code supplied - so I hope they fix this before the next family visits. Highly recommended for families!

    Another fantastic time at Seagate. The weather was perfect this trip, we enjoyed several days on the beach and in town. This house is better equipped than any we’ve stayed in (and we’ve stayed in several) and it’s just so comfortable. It feels like home away from home. We just love it and Chris is a fabulous host. Thanks for another wonderful time!

    Beautiful house - excellent host. Loved being close to the beach - kitchen laid out very odd, not a full size oven and a little tricky getting everything working. It was a great week though and thank you to Chris for allowing us to rent your wonderful beach house. And for saving the day with the grill - much appreciated!

    We just returned from our 4 week stay at The Seagate. The property was perfect for our party of 10! It was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and more. Check in and check out were a breeze and the house was spotless upon our arrival. We had a couple very small issues that were addressed immediately. Chris and his family were excellent hosts. I highly recommend a stay at “The Seagate.”

    We stayed during our family reunion week and The Seagate was fantastic. We hosted a family dinner for 28 and arrayed the buffet on the wrap-around stone counter. Since the place has essentially two living-rooms and a dining room, there were plenty of areas for folks to settle, chat and eat comfortably. The owners do any outstanding job of equipping the place for short stays, including clean, comfy sheets, plenty of clean towels and a fully stocked kitchen. I baked and cooked there & had everything I needed. The owners could not have been nicer.

    The space was perfect for our family with small children. The short walk to the beach was handled by all the kids without a problem. This block does not have a life guard on the beach so keep that in mind. And you will need to drive to everything else. But if beach relaxation is what you’re looking for they have it here! Nice quiet neighborhood!

    The area is like a neighborhood but steps from the beach, which was quiet and thoroughly enjoyable. People were incredibly friendly. Wish the weather had been a little more cooperative but we will definitely come back. Our dogs loved being there and Chris thought of everything. From having linens, toilet paper and even a sewing kit, it felt like home away from home. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home! See you next year. :)

    Great property for multiple families. The two living spaces and separate floors offered privacy for our sibling trip. We enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets on the beach which is steps away. The house has everything you need for a great beach vacation. We rode bikes to the boardwalk and we walked (only 1 mile) The house was very clean and comfortable. Great spot.

    Our stay in the Gardens of Ocean City was wonderful. It really worked for our family. The neighborhood is lovely and the location is steps from the beach. Check-in was a breeze. We struggled on how to get the oven to work (imported brand?) but a quick google search had us on our way. Trash from previous renters was still in the garage, but we took it to the curb on pick-up day. No problem. Appreciated the miscellaneous items in the closet (like tape, etc) and added some to it for others. Of five different high-end OC rentals, this was the first and only one with a clean washing machine! No mold, yay!Thank you, we hope to return again.

    This is a fantastic place to stay. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The location is in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood on the north end of the island- 2 houses from the beach! The owners were extremely responsive - even sending us a PDF of the oven we were initially confused by how to operate. There were even food and water bowls provided for dogs. This is the BEST rental we’ve been to in our 30+ years of renting at Ocean City!

    We had a wonderful time at Chris and family's home in the Garden area of Ocean City! Chris was great to communicate with me before and during our visit. The house is lovely, and the beds very comfortable. My daughter needed a table to work on from the house. Chris bought one and had it delivered to the house. We cooked most of our meals there. My husband grilled on Chris' nice gas grill. The location was great! It was right down the street from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet.

    The Seagate location was perfection! The Gardens district is simply gorgeous and the house is 3 houses away from what feels like a private beach entrance. The beach was clean, flat, and had fine sand. Now let's talk about the house! Everything you could want was provided at this home as the kitchen was well appointed and the house felt super-cozy! We loved the two living areas and although our gang hung out close to the kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed the upstairs living room for the Eagles game on Sunday. We loved that we could bring our two dogs and there were plenty of sheets to cover furniture in the linen closet. They felt instantly at home too. This location is 3 minutes from the Long Port dog beach- another bonus. I should also mention that the garage was filled with grills, bikes, chairs, etc. There was also plenty of parking in the driveway and on the street. Our hosts were responsive with initial contact, but we everything was so great that we didn't need to reach out to them further. Do not hesitate to rent this property!

    From the moment that I pulled up to the house and saw the proximity to the ocean, I was sold. When I walked into the house and looked around, I had a huge smile on my face. The house was perfect for my family, which included myself, children, spouses, grandson and a dog. Well stocked kitchen, spacious bedrooms, expansive upstairs with large TV, deck where you can actually SEE the ocean and hear the waves. We enjoyed the beach, long walks through what may be the loveliest section of OCNJ, the boardwalk, bike rides, burgers on the grill and of course fudge :-). I look forward to booking again next year and highly recommend this home. Maryellen Walter
