The Brooklyn Estate and Cottage - Berlin, MD

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. The 5,000-square-foot Brooklyn Estate offers five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and a sixth bedroom in the pool house that is detached from the home. The bathroom in the pool house is seasonal, but the bedroom can be occupied year-round. The 1930s-era Brooklyn Cottage has three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths.

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.

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.
