Large estate & cottage with private pool, firepits, & game room

The Brooklyn Estate and Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Make your next family reunion or group retreat a memorable one at this eight-bedroom West Ocean City property, an expansive estate and adjacent cottage with incredible amenities that include a private swimming pool, a well-stocked game room with a wet bar, and plentiful outdoor space for barbecues and celebrations.

This lush, three-and-a-half-acre property includes two separate homes that sit a few miles west of downtown Ocean City and north of Assateague State Park.

Your vacation begins at the main house, where a beautifully manicured lawn welcomes you home. Step inside to find an air-conditioned living space full of natural light, with two-story ceilings, polished tile floors, and a wood-burning fireplace with an immense brick facade.

The elegant kitchen is at the heart of this home, offering pristine stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), granite countertops, and richly hued wood cabinets. Get the whole group together to make pancakes each morning and enjoy sitting down at the eight-person dining room.

Spend the glorious days of spring and summer outdoors, splashing with your children in the private pool (which is open from May until September), practicing your jump shot in the pool-side basketball hoop, and hosting friends for fun-filled get-togethers. The patio includes an outdoor fireplace, a bar, a gas grill, and plentiful seating, while the lawn has space for the kids to run around.

Back inside the main house, mix a few cocktails at the wet bar in the game room, and challenge your loved ones to a few rounds of foosball and pool.

There's no better place to end the evening than on the plush sofas in the living room, gathered in front of the big-screen TV with upgraded Comcast cable to have 200 plus channels and streaming capabilities. Most rooms have smart TVs as well to stream Comcast, Netflix, or Amazon with ease. Choose a movie from the DVD library, use the WiFi to plan the next day's activities, or enjoy a bit of privacy by watching one of the 12 other TVs in the kitchen, game room, barbecue area, and bedrooms.

In the main house, you'll find five bedrooms with one king bed, five queen beds, and two double beds. The cottage features three bedrooms with two queen beds, a double-over-double bunk, and two twin beds.

The cottage is also a wonderfully equipped home in its own right, offering partial air conditioning, its very own kitchen, a six-person dining room, and a charming sitting room. You'll also find a sunroom and an outdoor patio with a bar area, a firepit, and plentiful seating for evening cookouts. Don't hesitate to take a dip in the new above-ground pool.

With a beautiful country setting that's just a short drive from Maryland's shore, this West Ocean City property is ideal for families in search of summer sun, entertainment, and relaxation. Head to Ocean City for the day to surf and sunbathe, peruse the eateries and arcades on the historic boardwalk, and test your nerves on the thrilling rides at Jolly Roger Amusement Park 10 miles east.

Spend a day exploring the gorgeous expanse of Assateague State Park just nine miles south, or tee off at the Glen Riddle Golf Club or the Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club - both of which welcome non-members. Your kids will also delight in a visit to the Old West in Frontier Town, where they can pan for gold, witness gunfights, and see a Wild West Show just five miles south.

Treat your loved ones to a summer vacation they'll never forget - reserve your stay at this West Ocean City property today!

Absolute Basic Necessity NOT Provided
This is the 2nd time we stayed at the property. Location and amenities worked for our group. Problem is, is that we went for a college get together for the games to relax together at a house so we could BBQ and enjoy beverages without having to leave. As soon as we arrived, no internet service provided which also meant no TV as they run Roku. Tried for 4 DAYS to get this resolved. All I got was the runaround, promises of "local team resolving". No one ever contacted me back. I communicated with them 2-3 times a day and still no action. Even after checking out, no one has contacted me. This completely changed the outcome of the entire weekend as we now had to leave the house to watch the games, leaving behind the food and drink we brought, meaning additional costs and now people having to drive. The whole idea was to be together at a house and not have to leave. We were so disappointed that the weekend was ruined over something that could have been resolved in hours. I didn't feel there was any real action by Vrbo or the home owner to take the problem seriously or resolve it. All I got was the same "is there anything else we can do?" texts.

Disappointed with residence
Spent three nights at the Brooklyn Estates to celebrate 50th birthdays - we were 5 couples. As others have said house needs some TLC. Biggest issues we had were - the oven was extremely dirty, only one oven worked (and for that one the door didn't shut all the way so getting to temp was challenging), and the fan did not work, and the burners were spotty. Griddle also did not work. We had not hot water the last day and half (warm at best for showers). Lots of flies/knats in the house. There was also someones underwear balled up in one of the closests - so suffice it to say cleaning people need to do a better job. A lot of pots / glasses were also dirty. Pool area was excellent and that is where we spent 95% of our time. That part was excellent and the company was awesome so dispite the house not living up to expectations we had a good time. I contacted the property mananger 5 times - several emails over the course of the time we were there. One person did come out and looked at the oven/stove agreed its was very dirty but couldn't really do anything to fix the issues - he did provide us firewood. Otherwise I just kept getting a standard response of we will look into it. Great size and potential but even after reading other reviews I reached out and was assured everything was in working order and would be good to go. I wouldn't stay here again.

Long Golf Weekend with Friends
We enjoyed our stay and met our criteria and perfect location for us. Property is in need of repair and cleaning could have been better. Assume the property is often used by large parties and wear is showing. Hot tub was broken. Had 4 engineers with us, downloaded manual to try and fix, but its needs expert repair. Pool as more liner tears in it that prevents it from holding enough water. Oven and vent hood have not been deep cleaned in a long time and caked in grease. Rugs, paint, exposed wires, broken (but functional) faucets, and typical wear throughout is showing. Provided what we needed, enjoyed ourselves, just needs some TLC to bring it up to the standard it can be.

A big, nice house with a lot of potential but.....
It's hard to write a dissatisfied review but as our stay went on, it just felt like more issues arose. Upon arrival, things seemed ok. The house did not smell. It seemed to be furnished well. I had emailed prior to arrival to confirm the status of the hot tub b/c I saw the one at the main house was not working properly and was assured it was fixed (or that we'd get some money refunded if it didn't, which to me, wasn't a real commitment to having it fixed even though it had been broken for some time). Here are our observations: 1. Someone came to look at the hot tub soon after our arrival. He started running it and said it was ok but the water was very cloudy and it wasn't warm. We never used it (just the one at the cottage, which was fine but not optimal) 2. THE FLIES! We were less offended by all the flies (though there were a lot) than we were by the fly paper in the house. There was one hanging in the kitchen and one in the back bedroom by the pool. Neither had been changed prior to our arrival so we walked in and saw old flypaper with dead insects stuck to it. the one in the bedroom was hanging literally above the bed. We would have expected it to be changed out before we got there. 3. The garbage cans were already half full by the time we got there. We then had no room for our remaining garbage. It clearly hadn't been taken out before our arrival 4. The propane tank was nearly empty the first time we used it. We had to drag the heavy one from the cottage to use. Someone did come by soon after I reached out about this but it was a nuisance. 5. The pool water level was low so the 2nd to last day of our day I texted to have someone look at it in the afternoon b/c we needed the water treated (the water line was below the filters and the water was getting cloudy). I didn't hear back so emailed around 9pm. I was then told I'd hear from someone in the morning. By ~10:30am I'd heard nothing and it was our last day so I called again. Someone came after noon and we couldn't swim until ~1pm so we lost a 1/2 day, the last day of our stay 6. Overall the house is good for a big group but needs lots of little fixes (shower faucet didn't work right, no temp control in the shower, not nearly enough pots/pans, wasps outside, etc.). We had a great time b/c we were happy to see each other. The house is big and has a great pool and a lot of potential but it does need some work.

Beautiful House, But STAY AWAY...
I was super excited about it. I read the reviews that weren't so great, but was hopeful for review issues to be taken care of. I was wrong. This house was DIRTY. We were immediately hit the face with a pungent of odor of cat pee/litter as we entered. This stench was impossible to ignore, from the first day to the last. Guests were uncomfortable the whole time. You could not escapes stench. The listing specifically states that the house is pet free. A friend staying with us had a nasty allergic reaction the entirely of our stay. This is a HUGE issue. They were miserable the entire time. On top of that, no one was there to fix the root of the issue. I appreciate that we were given air fresheners and were reimbursed for purchasing air fresheners and allergy first aid, but this was simply a bandaid. The issue was not solved, and it did not make up for the guests that suffered and were miserable. The next big thing was the hot tub was BROKEN, completely out of order. I don't know about you, but when I book a house with a pool and hit tub, I booked BECAUSE it has a hot tub and pool. We were told that we were supposed to be notified a head of our stay, but no such contact was made. We were offered a small refund for the hot tub, but this doesn’t make it better! We booked a house b/c of the promised amenities that were no longer available. Unacceptable. Yes, we’re aware the adjacent property has a hot tub. It’s not appropriate having paying guests walk along the road (day/night) to access the other property seeing as we were asked to not walk on the grass. There were serval other things we noted with the house in addition to the stench/hot tub. The carpets/rugs were very dirty/stained. The pool was gross/dirty. Lights don’t work, and we could not easily determine switches, more labels would be helpful. Lights were broken, we replaced bulbs. There was a temperature delta between the house/rooms of 15 degrees, we could not make the temp the same throughout, rooms were extremely cold. Baking sheets were disgusting, we would expect the house to be cleaned, especially mid pandemic. There’s broken glass bulbs on the ground where people are barefoot. This house as expensive and such a massive let down. The only redeeming factor was Imry, with Vacasa. She heard our frustrations & real tried to improve our experience. The owner of the house has 8 properties. With this visit, I will absolutely stay away from all of their 7 other properties.

Wonderful retreat with a few things that need some work
I’ll start by saying this is a great property. It’s a great space for a large group to gather. The families there loved the pool and the outdoor space. The proximity to the beach is a short drive and works well. It’s an awesome place and I would like to come back again. However, we did have issues that I would point out and hope Vacasa and property management would address. The biggest one being the timeliness and ability to communicate with property management regarding issues that come up. The biggest issue was that two of the bedrooms had a smoke smell in them. One of them was very strong. This is really disappointing when the home is advertised as no smoking. When I contacted Vacasa after we arrived on Saturday they responded that they had forwarded the issue to local staff. Local staff didn’t contact us until Sunday evening and said he would drop off some spray to help. I asked when he would be there and he then said we could pick up some spray if we were out and they would reimburse us. I declined because we were in for the night and asked that they bring it. No one ever came. I contacted him again Monday night and let him know. He said someone would be there in a few minutes. They came and handed me one bottle of Febreeze the night before we were checking out. The hot tub at the cottage was not warm when we arrived. Luckily, the man who checks the hot tubs just happened to come on the property the first night we were there and I ran out to the driveway and told him about the issue. He said he couldn’t fix it if something was broken but could try flipping the breaker. Fortunately, it then worked. When we arrived at the property, a lot of the rooms were very warm. The window air conditioning units were all shut off and it felt like they had been for some time. The grill at the estate wouldn’t heat above 200 degrees, so it prolonged our dinner prep and some people had to take things over to the cottage grill to speed things along. There’s a bit of a bug problem: wasp(s)/flies in the estate. And I believe spiders in the cottage. They do provide a good number of fly swatters - but I wish something else could be done. I know that no property is perfect. These are just issues I would hope to have fixed. Despite the issues, we enjoyed our stay, had a wonderful time, and would recommend it to others.
