Riviera Cottage | A Charming Dollhouse by the Bay in Ocean City, NJ

2 Bedroom Cottage in Riviera, Ocean City

The Duchess of Wovern is debuting for the 2024 Season on the barrier island of Ocean City, NJ known as America's Greatest Family Resort.
This beautifully renovated seashore cottage is one of ten historic and iconic "dollhouses" on Ocean City's Dollhouse Row. The Duchess was built in 1927 as a fisherman's cottage and was originally bayfront. Today, take a one minute walk from the kitchen door to the bay or relax on the upper rear deck to catch amazing sunsets. The cottage is walking distance to an eight mile long lifeguarded beach and the famous family friendly Boardwalk. Corson's Inlet State Park has beautiful sand dunes and estuaries ideal for crabbing, hiking, fishing and kayaking. The cottage is also a short morning walk to coffee shops and bakeries. Shopping on Asbury Avenue is also close by and has a wonderful variety of shops.
The Duchess was built as a miniature version of the classic Dutch Colonial, an early architectural style very common in parts of the Netherlands, Germany and France. The Duchess of Wovern is truly a fine example of this quaint and charming style. There are cottages on the island but nothing can compare to seeing ten dollhouses all in a row!
The two story cottage will provide you with a unique experience. It is an original tiny home! The secluded location is off the beaten path. Many locals aren't even aware of this quaint place! The open concept utilizes space efficiently. You will find it's all you need. The front porch entry is the perfect spot to relax under the shade of a rare Dutch Elm tree. Step inside and see the complete and beautiful renovation. The shiplapped living room is bright and sunny and leads to a cozy dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped and a cook's dream! There is a laundry and a full bath with a shower on the first floor. The kitchen door leads to an outdoor cedar shower (coming soon). There is a mini split system that provides heat and AC to this floor. There is a natural gas fireplace located between the living and dining areas which heats the entire cottage in the fall and winter months without using the mini split
The second floor is accessed by a carpeted staircase. Although narrow, it's easily navigated by the use of multiple teak handrails - the type you would see on a sailboat. Just go slow and take your time! At the top of the staircase you will find an open area with a half bath between front and rear bedrooms. The ceilings are pitched, opening up the space. The front bedroom has a more open concept and is divided by a partial wall for privacy. The rear bedroom has a door and also an exterior door that leads to the rear upper deck. Both bedrooms have queen beds and ceiling fans. This floor also has a mini split system that supplies heat and AC.
In days gone by, the charm of the shore was all about tiny cottages by the sea. Many of them have been demolished and replaced. Luckily some have survived! It is truly a unique experience to see how simple life can be in a tiny home. Time spent at the Duchess of Wovern will take you back to a time when summer homes were truly cottages but now with all the modern amenities. Come and see how beautiful and creative a small space can be at the Jersey Shore!
*** Ocean City is not just a summer resort! There are numerous events and festivities throughout the year! The Duchess is available all year. 2 night minimum.
A lot of time and effort has been put into restoring The Duchess, please treat with love and respect!

Summary: We loved Elaine's Doll House. It is beautifully renovated and decorated. It is small but it has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The street is very quiet and parking is right outside the house. The house is about 9 feet wide and very long. Along both sides of the walls have windows, so light isn't a problem. There are plenty of seatings and storage rooms. There is a full bath on this floor and a full kitchen. The ceiling is not your normal 8 feet but it is still plenty tall. We are 5 ft 4 in and 5 ft 11 in. and we felt fine in the house on both floors. The stairs curls. It is narrow and steps are small. Many handles are built in as you climb down or up. Upstairs to the right has a bedroom with closed doors. The bedroom has a private balcony where you can dry your swim suits. Upstairs to the left has an equal size bedroom with window facing the front. But this one doesn't have a door, if that is important to you. Upstairs has a half bathroom, with a toilet and sink. Surprisingly there are plenty of seatings on the second floor too. There is a small desk. Also it has plenty of storage. I highly recommend this amazing house for your vacation. PS on the first floor, the front windows have full blinds but the second half of the house the windows have only half blinds the along, so if privacy is important to you at night, then dim the light
