Welcome to Tails and Tides, an affordable and pet friendly vacation rental destination in Ocean City, NJ.

3324 Asbury blends classic beach-town charm with comfort, offering something special beyond the newer look-alike homes. If you love classic OC style with  touches like dormer ceilings and cutouts, original wood bannisters, and cozier spaces, but you also want some modern updates (like a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom), this is the place for you!

Relax in a clean, comfortable space. Enjoy central air, a fully enclosed outdoor shower with hot water, stacked washer and dryer, roomy kitchen with gas stove, parking for one mid-sized vehicle,  and a pleasant shared front and rear porch for morning coffee or an evening beverage.

About us

We have owned the Cute Cottage for over fourteen years now, and we love its charm and fantastic location. We reside in Montgomery County, PA, and have raised our now-grown children in OC at the Cottage. We love that it is a dry town, preserving its family friendly atmosphere. 

This condo is one of four total units, and it is a quieter building.

Parking is a shared space in the rear of the building, with one spot that can accommodate up to a minivan or mid-sized SUV. Oversized vehicles must find street parking. Fully enclosed outdoor shower in the rear.

Non-shedding pets up to 50lb are accepted with fee, once cleared with the owner. Larger pets will be considered.

The kitchen has been renovated! Now with new white soft-close cabinets, quartz countertops, and new sink and fixtures. It is a full sized space with a set of Carote pots and pans. Kitchenware, dishes/glassware/flatware and blender are provided, along with a pop up toaster, gas range and oven, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer, plus a Keurig and drip coffee maker. Basic spices and olive oil are provided at the start of each season.

Four beach chairs,  four beach tags, starter hand soaps, kitchen trash bags, laundry and dish detergents, as well as basic paper products are provided at the start of the season, but not guaranteed at the time of check in. We try to restock throughout the season.
