Sunshine House - Walk to Historic Downtown Berlin

Stay just a few blocks from downtown and experience the coastal lifestyle—from the charm of a small country town. Locals know Berlin as the perfect balance: the beach is only minutes away, yet the traffic and bustle of the resort stay behind.

Berlin’s locally owned restaurants, breweries, cafés, and boutiques weren’t built by chains—they’re the result of people pursuing a vision and choosing this small town to bring it to life. Sunshine House is perfectly situated between the historic downtown district and the town’s growing north end, placing many of those local favorites just a short walk away.

Sunshine House has its own story. Originally built in the early 1950s, it has been thoughtfully transformed over more than a decade into the spacious home you’ll enjoy today. Rather than replacing the home’s character, the renovation was designed to build upon it. Original features—including a blend of old and new wood flooring, exposed ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning stove—blend naturally with updated appliances, stone countertops, and modern conveniences.

Guests often remark that the house feels much larger inside than it appears from the street. Multiple gathering spaces, a loft, game room, spacious family room, and outdoor living areas make it easy for everyone to spend time together while still finding a quiet place to relax.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Main Street Berlin. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 2.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities and a water dispenser
  • On-site recreation includes a playground
  • 13 minutes by car from Ocean City Boardwalk and 13 minutes from Ocean City Beach
As a guest of Sunshine House - Walk to Historic Downtown Berlin, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

The sweetest VRBO around!

A charming property, well appointed with all the special touches thoughtfully presented. Communicating with the property owner was a breeze. Berlin is an adorable town too and walkable from the house. We'll be back!

Very cute place, great location

It was really wonderful. The house was well taken care of and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated all the access to the yard toys. Jeb was great in sending recommendations and very responsive. The location was great, walking distance to downtown Berlin which was cute with a bunch of shops and restaurants, and 15 min to Ocean City or Assateuge. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful house in beautiful Berlin

We had a lovely time at Jeb’s place. The house is spacious and very comfortable and we really appreciated extra touches like water and beer left in the fridge. Spent relaxed mornings on the back deck and our pooch enjoyed the spacious yard. Easy walking distance to Main St Berlin and a short drive to our favourite Assateague beaches. Jeb was thoughtful and easy to communicate with. Thank you for a wonderful break!

We had a wonderful time at Sunshine House! This house was just right for the trip we wanted. We could walk 10 minutes to the downtown area for shopping, dinner, drinks, and dessert. Assateague was only about a 20 minute drive away. The house was clean and well cared for. Supplies were well organized, so it was easy to find what we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed to easily make small meals. The bathrooms were clean and in great condition. All the furniture was comfortable for lounging after a long day at the beach. The kids really enjoyed the foosball table, and I enjoyed the hammock out on the back deck. Our host was very attentive to our needs. He was quick to respond to messages. He also provided us additional information on activities and attractions in the area. Overall, we appreciated the location and quality of this home away from home. Everything was perfect!
