Superb Waterfront location on the St. Martin River in Ocean Pines with 2 dock slips

A true vacation oasis for the family that loves beach and boating! This gem is located right on the wide St. Martin River in Ocean Pines, with a water view unmatched anywhere in Ocean City. Pull your boat up to the dock, load up the family and head straight out to the open water. 'River Bliss' is renovated indoors and out, with modern kitchen and updated bathrooms, delightful decor and 2 fantastic decks overlooking the deep shimmering water right outside the door. The yard is a sandy beach that kids adore, with fishing and crabbing right off the dock. Ocean Pines is the perfect destination for families, away from the hubbub of Ocean City but with a private block-long beach at 49th St. with included parking and beach club, so you don't have to fight the crowds when you're ready for the ocean. Lots to do for everyone, with swimming pools, tennis, championship 18 hole golf and private walking and jogging trails right outside your door . 'River Bliss' says it all--book your vacation today.

This is the Home for Your Vacation: This house is truly special and is reserved by the same families year after year, who value the privacy and quiet of Ocean Pines, yet want quick access to fun in Ocean City. The boat dock right outside your door is fantastic, right on the deep St. Martin River. The view from the shore and from the decks is one of the best in Ocean City. The opposite shoreline is the last long stretch of undeveloped riverfront in the entire area, still quiet and mostly natural. Sunrises and sunsets are equally stunning. The home has been renovated with new kitchen and bathrooms, and a complete exterior renovation. It has to be experienced to be understood, so peaceful yet so close to everything. There is nothing like the feeling of 'River Bliss'.

Amazing family vacation home!
Myself, my husband, our daughter (22 months), and my Mom had a wonderful week here. The river views from the upstairs balcony and dock couldnt be beat. Our daughter loved shoveling the backyard pea gravel into her bucket and sitting at the adult and child sized picnic tables on the back porch. Loved all the outdoor seating to watch the river boats and birds. Having access to the Ocean Pines pools, playgrounds, and beach club (with parking) was perfect. It was an easy 15-20 minute drive into/out of Ocean City (as long as it was a week day). We loved having tasty restaurants just a few minutes away (Pines Public House, Southgate Grill, Don's Seafood, PopCs ice cream). We loved having 2 stories of nice open spaces for all of our daughter's toys and books. The rooms on the upper level are bright and sunny. The kitchen was plenty big enough, and we really appreciated that Kevin provided a new on counter microwave while waiting for a new above stove one to arrive. The washer and dryer worked well, and we always had hot water and great water pressure. If you have a young child, be sure to bring a standard size baby gate for the top of the stairs. I gave a 4 star rating on cleanliness because of having a toddler - i.e. I'm on my hands and knees all the time so see a lot of dirt and hair on floors, in bathtubs, etc. “Normal” adults probably wouldnt even notice (lol) The carpets were freshly vacuumed upon arrival and most surfaces were clean. We're used to having a lot of reading li

Great water view, but house needs attention
Upon arrival the initial impression was that the house seemed mostly clean/dated, but workable since the river + the beautiful decking was pretty amazing. In the first 2 days we quickly learned that the description on the website, which had to be pretty old, was no longer valid. "Renovated...inside and out, updated modern kitchen and updated bathrooms"; this is not what we discovered; issues w/shower doors sliding unattached; the positive is the water pressure was always very good/maintained shower temperature well. The bedrooms, particularly the "twin" bedroom + kitchen both had an abundance of ants. We had to take our granddaughter out of that bedroom when she saw the ants climbing. We switched rooms, cleaned everything. Went to Ace, bought a bunch of recommended Ant Bait/Killer for bedrooms/kitchen. It was disturbing when an ant walked up my hand while I was sitting upstairs living room reading., I thought we had taken care of the problem. Another positive note, the furniture in both sitting areas is very nice and clean. First day - dishwasher was full of dishes that we assumed prior renters had run for us. Started putting dishes away, discovered most were clean top shelf, bottom shelf apparent breakfast pans and dishes w/dried eggs etc. Dirty dishes in cabinets/drawers. This was not the family vacation I had requested add'l information about.We bought $$ of frozen foods for quick meals - microwave did not work.Will not rent again. Disappointed.

Our time was excellent at River Bliss. The house was well-appointed and perfect for our family of four. It was incredibly clean and the kitchen was updated with lots of pots and pans. The views were breathtaking and the neighborhood was lovely. We hope to visit again next year. Kevin was great with answering questions prior to our trip. I would highly recommend this house.

Great family spot on the River!
Perfect location for a family vacation. Great views of the river. 20 minute drive to beach with private parking. Close enough to enjoy all that OC Md has to offer yet far enough away from the noise, etc. The property was everything that was advertised which is more than what we've experienced with past rentals. Would definitely recommend and would like to return next year.

Great waterfront property
River Bliss was very clean and it had an easy check in. All information was provided for the property and labeled well. The waterfront can't be beat, especially if you have a boat - we loved the ease of getting in and out of our boat and the view can't be beat. The owner got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions and we are hoping to again rent this next year.

If you are looking for a quiet place on the water, this is it! There are lots of seating areas to curl up with a book, and/or listen to songbirds in the morning. The upstairs deck offers a magnificent view of the water. Sunrises and sunsets are both beautiful from the deck as well. The street is quiet and safe for kids to ride bikes with almost no traffic. The dock can easily handle 24 foot boats. My family rented a pontoon boat from Island Watersports. It was great being able to take a relaxing cruise from the house. The property is an easy 5 minute drive to Food Lion, and 15 minutes to the beach club. We highly recommend this house for your vacation!

Perfect spot!
House layout is great = one couple In master bedroom upstairs, one couple and their child in 2 bedrooms downstairs. We both had a bathroom. Stunning views of St Martin river - wide open ( not on a canal) so wonderful breezes. We used the 2 decks every day. The grandchild, age two, loved the sand in the back. House is clean and well supplied, and we enjoyed the Ocean Pines amenities, including a fantastic new playground close by.

Wonderful Ocean Pines Waterfront Home
Our family of 4 (including 2 age 4 and under) loved River Bliss! Everything was tidy and clean. The location was great and it lacked nothing we needed. Surrounding community of Ocean Pines is charming. We easily took advantage of the beach parking, pool access, and nearby playgrounds. Kitchen had everything we needed as well. Climate control kept the house temperature comfortable during a pretty intense heat wave. Netflix was nice for the kiddos on a rainy afternoon. Our family loved waking up at sunrise and watching the shore birds, herons and rabbits outside. It was a lovely, natural retreat from the hustle of O.C. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This is a heavenly spot with a great floor plan. From the terrific upper deck, we could see the sunrise and sunset over the water. The kitchen was fairly well equipped. The separate sleeping spaces would be nice for two couples to have their own space. Owner was prompt to respond to any inquiries. Look forward to staying there again!

Peaceful escape with everything you'll need
We loved staying here. It's a quiet street and unless you're in a bedroom, you have a stunning view of the water from all parts of the house. It's unreal at some moments. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed to make yummy meals. Great laundry machines, etc... We had an issue with the kitchen trash can which had a flimsy lid. This led to countless fruit flies all over everything in the kitchen. I would recommend a new trash can with a secure lid that opens by foot to avoid that for other guests. Also there were parts of the home that had unused decorative spaces that had accumulated a lot of dust. Like thick layers even on the shelves of the bathroom, cobwebs in some corners, things like that. This was really hard on our allergies. Finally, the bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. I had back pain the entirety of the trip because of it. I would suggest some upgrades and monthly deep cleaning of the home to elevate the full experience and reflect the price of the rental. Truly, with all that said, we had a wonderful time. Visiting in October was lovely and if you need an escape from the city, this place is all you need!

If water views are your zen, this is the best home
I stayed 9 nights. I kept the sliding glass doors open much of the time. I loved hearing the water, wind, birds chirping, and rain. I woke up to a beautiful scene each morning. The house has everything you need, is very organized (and labeled), and is very clean. You can sit at the picnic table on the lower deck, or in the chairs on the upper deck. You can also sit in the chairs near the dock. The owner, Kevin, is amazingly responsive and a joy to interact with. This was my favorite adult vacation in decades.

Great relaxing stay
My family of 8 vacationed here and had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The clean property is the right kind of size, not too big that you're all spread out but big enough to comfortably accommodate sleeping etc. The decorative touches throughout made you feel like you are in a special shore destination. Beach passes made going to the beach an easy fun adventure. The view cannot be appreciated enough, many evenings watching the boats go by were quite memorable. The open river has some current and with storms can kick up the water a bit so be mindful if you bring a boat. There's a nice stretch for tubing kids behind a boat right in front of house in the river. We probably caught close to 45 crabs with trap we brought though some are provided too. 3 amazing meals resulted! Kevin was a wonderful owner to deal with, so easy to talk to. If you want to have a nice "relaxing" fun vacation this is the place!
