4BR, 3 Bath, sleeps 10, Arcade, rooftop deck - The Selah Shore House has it ALL!

I’m Maryellen, your host here in beautiful Ocean City, New Jersey. I’ve been a property owner in OCNJ since 2011, and for over 14 years I’ve gained firsthand experience in every part of the short-term rental world—from renovations and maintenance to guest support and daily operations.

As a local resident, I know the community, neighborhoods, seasonal trends, and what guests look for when choosing a home at the shore. My goal is simple: to make your stay enjoyable, comfortable, and worry-free.

I’m hands-on, detail-oriented, and passionate about creating a smooth and welcoming experience for every guest. Over the years, I’ve overseen numerous property upgrades, from full interior remodels to exterior improvements and complete rebuilds—all designed with comfort, safety, and experience in mind.

I also work with a trusted network of cleaners, handymen, and service providers to ensure every home is well cared for and perfectly prepared for your arrival. Communication is just as important to me, so I’m proactive, transparent, and always ready to help when you need assistance.

My hosting philosophy is simple: owner-minded care, guest-focused service. I treat every property as if it were my own and every stay as an opportunity to create a memorable beach getaway. Whether it’s ensuring spotless cleanings, maintaining high-quality amenities, or offering helpful local insight, I strive to deliver an experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and effortless.

Outside of hosting, I enjoy staying active in the Ocean City community, connecting with other homeowners, and continually learning how to enhance the guest experience.

What You Can Expect When Staying With Me:
✓ A well-maintained, thoughtfully prepared home
✓ Clear and responsive communication
✓ Local insight and reliable guidance
✓ A warm, caring, guest-first hosting style
✓ Peace of mind knowing your host is local and experienced

We chose this neighborhood because it showcases the best of Ocean City’s North End—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from the beach. The scene here is quintessential Jersey Shore: morning bike rides along the boardwalk, ocean breezes drifting through the streets, and the sound of waves never far away. Unlike the busier sections of town, the North End offers a more relaxed atmosphere while still being close to everything that makes Ocean City special.

What we enjoy most is the ability to walk everywhere while still feeling tucked away in a quieter coastal setting. Whether it’s grabbing breakfast at a local café, watching the sunrise over the ocean, or taking an evening stroll on the boardwalk, this neighborhood delivers the perfect blend of relaxation, convenience, and classic Ocean City charm.

This home stands out for its rare two-level “upper cottage” design, offering the space and privacy of a single-family home while enjoying a prime beach-block location. The highlight is the private top-floor king suite, complete with its own bathroom and rooftop deck featuring beautiful ocean views—a unique retreat within the home itself.

What truly sets this property apart are the thoughtful extras: two ensuite bedrooms, a newly remodeled 2025 gourmet kitchen, multiple outdoor living spaces, and built-in arcade games for family fun. Combined with its coveted North End location just steps from the beach and boardwalk, Selah Shore House delivers the perfect blend of luxury, entertainment, and coastal comfort for an unforgettable Ocean City vacation.
