They took 3 weeks to tell us they double booked our unit after repeated requeststo send the contract. By then there was no inventory available and we had to settle. They were no help, didn't care at all and made no effort to go out of their way to help. We ended up renting from Berger. Never again.

Good service. Was disappointed that they had no public bathroom. I had driven 3.5 hours. It Was noon, but they refused to give me the key for my rental unit until 2 pm even though the unit had been cleaned.

I purchased our place in Ocean City from Grace using Carolee who was fantastic. This is the second season I'm using them for summer rentals. They have been a joy to work with, very professional and yet with a down to earth touch. Very concerned about the satisfaction of homeowners and renters. Carolee, Pat, Phil, Bev and the girls are the best. I only list with Grace because of their honesty, expertise, follow through and approachibility. Great company.
