Grayce on Dollhouse Row -a 1920's Original Beach Cottage
About this cottage rental
Grayce is one of 9 original historical and iconic "dollhouses" on Dollhouse Row in OCNJ. The calming charm of this piece of history, located only 300 ft from the bay, will captivate you the moment you arrive. Every amenity is thought of for you so that rest and relaxation is all you need to do. The 2-story cottage comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed in each of the 2 bedrooms. Read a book in the cozy meditation corner of the master bedroom or in the macrame swing by the front door (250lb max). Savor your morning cup of coffee in our tangerine Adirondack chairs on the front porch while you watch the neighborhood awaken. Or unwind with an evening glass of wine in our newly redone semi-private backyard alcove - complete with ambient lighting and Adirondack chairs. Grill up dinner on our new gas grill to bring to the beach or enjoy in our eat in kitchen that comfortably sits 4-6. Beach tags for 4 along with 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, beach cart, blanket, cooler bag, large beach bag, and beach umbrella are waiting and ready to go in the outside shed. Challenge your friends and family to a game of Paddleball or corn hole! Go for a morning bike ride on the boards with the 2 included beach cruisers (tire pump and tire repair kit are in the shed). Oh and don't forget to shower off in our enclosed outdoor shower after your day at the beach! The whole energy of Grayce is centered around your comfort. Our goal is to make your stay one of pure replenishment so amenities such as bath towels, bed linens, pillows, and blankets are provided for our guests. All bed pillows and mattresses are covered in waterproof bed bug protectors and are changed in between guests and ALL linen (sheets, comforters, blankets, sham covers, and couch throws) will be laundered using anti-viral techniques to ensure the ultimate level of protection and cleanliness. Both Queen beds feature Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets (which are thought to be the softest sheets in the world! In addition ALL guests of Grayce receive a 40% discount code to use in the future with Cozy Earth!). Waterproof slip covers on the sofa and ottoman are also laundered and changed between guests. The newly redone kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, silverware, serving platters/bowls, bakeware, Charcuterie boards, and cookware along with grill utensils for the outdoor propane grill. Basic spices, sugar/sweetener, and fully stocked coffee nook are provided. Small appliances included: drip coffee maker, pour over coffee maker, Keurig, crock pot, stove top espresso maker, mini waffle maker, toaster, mini griddle, hard boiled egg maker, air fryer, indoor s'more maker, and hand held mixer. Grayce is the perfect seaside retreat for anyone looking for all that the shore has to offer. She is walking distance to many stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and of course - the world famous Ocean City Boardwalk! Make sure to sample OCNJ's most famous morsels - Manko's Pizza, Johnson's Popcorn, and Kohr Brothers - just to name a few! OC is a family oriented "dry" town however there are liquor stores conveniently located right before coming onto the island. Every water sport is available nearby including whale/dolphin watching, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, fishing, paddle boarding, and more! The sunset on the bay is a *must*. Simply walk out the back door and within 300 ft you will have a front row seat of the some of the most beautiful sunsets ever! The beach is only 5 short blocks away - a perfect distance for your daily venture to the beach or for a relaxing evening stroll to stargaze on the sand. Visiting Dollhouse Row is listed in the "The Ocean City New Jersey Bucket List" as one of the top 100 ways to have a real OC experience. Grayce and a few other of the Dollhouses were featured twice on the cover of Ocean City magazine. Be prepared for the popularity of Grayce and her 8 siblings as Dollhouse Row is a favorite of bikers and passerby's! We will be happy tor provide recommendations for dining and activities -just ask! We also can provide "concierge" service and arrange for alcohol, flowers, snacks (Ask about our AMAZING homemade charcuterie boxes!), etc that can be all ready and waiting for your arrival! We hope you have a peaceful stay at our tiny cottage by the sea!

From the moment upon arrival, it was the little touches that amounted to the excitment of exploring all the fun amenities Ginny had prepared throughout the cottage.
She thought of everything one needs to relax and enjoy the shore! Thank you for providing a great start to 2024!

We loved, loved, loved our stay at Grayce on dollhouse row. It is beautifully decorated and cozy! The location is great as the bay is the next street over. Everything was as expected or better!

My stay at Gracey….I spent Christmas there this year and I was beyond blessed by how wonderful my host was. The moment I opened the door and stepped into Gracey I felt at peace. This was the most warm and cozy, beautifully decorated property I have ever visited. Exceptionally clean and very well maintained. If I could give 10 stars to my host and Gracey I would.
Gracey is simply magical, perfect in every way.
Forever thankful Ginny!

This was the perfect home for a weekend getaway with my mom. Ginny was incredibly responsive and was the perfect host! She thought of everything down to the tiniest detail. Even the smell when you first walked in made you feel cozy and welcomed. I would definitely stay in this hidden gem again. Ginny was one of the best hosts ever (and I use VRBO frequently).

Renting from Ginny and being able to stay in such a beautiful property has been nothing but a dream. Ginny is extremely responsive and very accommodating. The House was so well maintained and anything that may have been difficult to figure out a video was provided by Ginny for it. When you stay at this place you'll feel right at home and my fiancee and I are already looking to plan out when we can return for our next stay!

This little gem of a property is EXACTLY as you see pictured. It is THE coziest, loveliest, most relaxing SPACE I’ve ever stayed in. Ginny, the owner, made this home so comfortable and inviting. My visit was in the beginning of November and the little seasonal touches did not go unnoticed. There were hints of autumn all through out the house…decorative pumpkins tucked away, fall design coffee mugs and pillows. And the house smelled AMAZING…like a warm pie! All the while still feeling like a cozy beach cottage. Every inch of this home was so inviting! And as inviting and warm as the house was, Ginny was even more warm and inviting. She was super helpful with check in, responded quickly to every text, and I felt she was genuinely thrilled for me that I was on vacation!! She was amazing. The house was amazing! I can’t thank Ginny enough and I can’t wait to plan another stay.

Ginny was a wonderful host! The personal touches that she brings to the property are very much appreciated. The house is very cute and in great shape. Ginny checked in on our group a couple times during the stay to be sure that everything was going well. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again if I find myself in Ocean City in the future!

From the moment we pulled up we knew "Grayce" was going to be a life long friend! So beautifully decorated with each space perfectly utilized. She had everything we needed to make our getaway care-free and relaxing. From the coffee bar set up each morning to bikes and beach chairs & umbrellas, we started every morning with a smile. At the end of each day we rode bikes to the 12th Street Pier on the bay for amazing sunsets -- so beautiful -- came home to Grayce to prepare dinner in her perfectly stocked kitchen (she even had fresh basil growing out back!) while enjoying our own Spotify play lists using the portable speaker she also had ready for us! Bedtime was a treat as shower was fab, fluffy towels, bathrobes -- SUCH A TREAT! -- and comfy beds tucked us in perfectly!
If you have the chance to stay with Grayce do not hesitate. She's thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and care-free.
This has been a dream come true for me to stay in a 'Doll House'. I've ridden bikes past here for years hoping/wishing I could live here. So quiet and such easy living. I'm still smiling as I type this note!!
PS -- it's actually Ginny who has given Grayce life and so kind to share with lucky guests like us. Ginny YOU are wonderful :D

We enjoyed our weekend in Grayce! There are many cute touches that show how much the owner enjoys decorating her property. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. I will caution that the flight of steps to the upstairs bedrooms are quite steep, so it might not be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. There are 2 queen beds, so if there are 4 guests, all must share. The living space was quite roomy and comfortable, given the small size of the house. It’s a long walk to the beach, so you’d most probably need a bike or car. The bay is very close, so the sunset views would be a plus when the weather is good. The owner was very easy to contact and quick to respond to questions. She obviously takes great pride in ownership!

Grayce is the cleanest property we've ever stayed in anywhere! Ginny left nothing out in making our stay comfortable, cozy, and enjoyable. She has thought of every amenity and her personal touches to the property and the way she welcomes guests is way beyond what you might expect. Ginny was available to answer any questions we had during our trip. You will not be disappointed in the property or the hostess!

We had such a lovely time staying in this adorable little cottage/dollhouse. It was clean, stocked, comfortable and absolutely charming. We have stayed in many rentals; my daughters constantly commented that this was their favorite. There are extra touches throughout the cottage that made this such a special and unique stay; we would absolutely love to return!

My family and I were very happy with this property and the host was friendly and accommodating from start to finish.
The host equipped the house with everything needed to enjoy the beach (chairs, umbrella, toys, cart) and rest comfortably in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, coffee, etc. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom very clean. And despite the summer humidity and temperatures in the 90's every day, the house always remained cool and dry with sufficient AC units. The property was easy to get to and parking was always available.
The location is ideal for families with small children, too. It's on a very quiet road with virtually no cars passing through, a municipal playground is just up the block on Bay Avenue, and it's a short walk to the beach where you can easily reach both the busier areas and the quieter areas of the boardwalk from the 15th Street entrance (depending on what experience you are looking for that day).
Every morning started with Mallon's Homemade Sticky Buns located conveniently around the corner from the property. Mario's Restaurant was also a great option located close by. I only wish we stayed longer! Perfect place to stay.

We stayed at this charming little house and enjoyed every minute of it. It is a block from the bay so you can watch the beautiful sunsets every evening. The house was very clean and every little detail was thought out to maximize the space. The owner is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough about how perfect this house was for my husband and me. We enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait to return!

Such a perfectly decorated and equipped historical little "dollhouse" cottage with the most perfect little reading nooks and comfy beds. The home was filled with plenty of things to do from beach games to books to board games. Perfect location to the beach/boardwalk, sunsets by the bay, to bike or to get a sweet treat. We were welcomed so warmly by her and her neighbors. Ginny was the best and so was her home!

This property is even better in person than it looks online. In addition to the beautiful decor, amazing amenities, and comfortable beds, the host could not have been more helpful and accommodating at all times. Thank you!

I cannot say enough about Gracye. In the 40+ years of coming to Ocean City, this is the loveliest place I’ve ever stayed. My son and I loved coming back for breaks in between beach walks and boardwalk fun. The street is so peaceful and the house has such wonderful energy. And Ginny was absolutely wonderful. I can’t wait to come back!
