The Carousel House - Ocean Park - Featured in New York Times

Fantastic location, loved the porch life, only wish our stay could have been longer.

Our work team spent 3 nights at the Carousel House and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and well appointed. The location was absolutey perfect. It is walkable to shops, restaurants, the bus and the ferry. The expansive covered porch and rocking chairs provided a spectacular view of the park and ocean, and was great for people watching.

Great location, many places walkable. Great view of the ocean and morning sunrise. Easy walk to many restaurants and shopping. House is comfortable and all the basics are there. Don’t forget to bring or rent bed linens and towels. We enjoyed our stay! Kitchen is well-equipped. Beds were comfortable. Rocking on the front wrap around porch and people watching was our evening pastime, once we were done with our daily sights and shopping, and dinners. The last night we were there, we were lucky to have live music at the gazebo! What a nice bonus!

We loved staying at the Carousel House. It’s a great place in a perfect location and was very clean. Just keep in mind you have to bring your own sheets and towels or rent them. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we’d definitely come back!

Multiple small appliances including a professional waffle maker (great for big family breakfasts), a built in griddle on the stove (make multiple hot pancakes at once), a slow cooker (drop in some chicken, veggies and seasonings and leave it running while on the beach all day; instant dinner come evening), an ice cream maker (so much fun for the kids to have home made ice cream like I did back in the day when my Grandpa cranked the machine). We loved that the maids don't throw away the spices. (Of course the fridge is empty and spotless!) I needed three bay leaves for a recipe, and found them in the cupboard without having to spend 10 for one little ingredient. We added to the pantry and left behind other non-perishables for the next family including soy sauce and Everything but the Bagel seasoning.Real cooks will also appreciate a deep drawer that has all kinds of random gourmet kitchen utensils like a garlic press, lemon press, meat pounder, cheese knife, tiny whisk, small tongs, etc. If you are a foodie, you will love cooking in this kitchen!

We had a great stay. Communication was clear and the house was clean. We loved the convenience where everything is a walkable distance.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a week away. The house is gorgeous and had everything we needed. Grocery store was close by and a few restaurants and shops were still open despite going in the off season. The bedroom at the front overlooking Ocean Park was so comfortable and it was lovely to wake up to the sunrise. We will definitely stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay. Heidi was incredibly responsive to our needs and the kids loved how close we were to the Green. What a perfect location.

Location is excellent. House has many amenities

We love this house and hope to be welcomed back for years to come.
