Welcome to The Captain's Cottage at The Saltwater House! Built in 1920 and renovated in 2024, the cottage is a part of Ocean City's historic district, centrally located to all Ocean City has to offer.

Warm wood tones, calming colors, and thoughtful furnishings make this space feel like a retreat! The space was thoughtfully designed for four guests with modern minimalist décor, marble countertops, and a dedicated workspace. These are just a few features that make this space feel like home.

The space
With a short 10-minute walk to the beach and boardwalk, this modern minimalist space is a great place to call home for your beach vacation!

Easily walkable to Positively 4th St. for coffee, Annie's Carousel for ice cream, the farmers market on summer Wednesdays, and the shops downtown on Asbury Ave., there is something for everyone to easily enjoy! This property is in the perfect part of town as you are close to everything but the neighborhood is quiet.

Guest access
The entire unit is for guest use.

PLEASE NOTE that the cottage is at the rear of the property, off of the alleyway.

There is one assigned parking spot suitable for one car in the driveway. Additional street parking is free and does not have any limitations.

Please note that this property does not host guests under the age of 21. Any guests, or parents of guests that book on behalf of their child for senior week, will be asked to show an ID upon arrival. If guests are not 21 or older, they will be asked to leave without a refund.

Families traveling with children for a family vacation are more than welcome!!

This property is not available for senior week. Thank you in advance.

Other things to note
The bedroom is on the second floor, featuring a queen size bed. Additionally, there is a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room on the first floor. The unit is best suited for a couple or a family of four traveling with two adults and two children. Would not recommend for more than two adults.

Please note that the interior stairs are slightly steep. They are carpeted to ensure guests' safety. There is no door at the top of the stairs.

Guests over the height of 6' tall might find the unit small. For reference, the ceilings are 8' tall.

There is a maximum of 4 guests on the property, including infants. The house/yard should not be used as a place to gather, with more than 4 people at any given time. Any guests not on the reservation will be asked to leave.


Two beach chairs and four beach tags will be left for guest use Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

This property is not pet friendly. If guests bring a pet to the property, they will be asked to leave without a refund.
