We have been coming to Ocean City for many years. As our family grew, this year we need to add additional rentals and Berger made it easy to find summer rentals through their highly competent staff and large selection of available properties. They also make it easy to coordinate finding rentals and making payments remotely via their superior internet system. They are always available to help! We worked with Michael Maina. Great service.

We have stayed twice at this location hosting family reunions both times. Everyone loved the big open floor plan with functional kitchen and huge dining room table! The porch was great for hanging out in the morning or after dinner. It is walking distance to the boardwalk and is located on a nice quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of beach traffic. Couldn't have asked for a better place to rent in Ocean City! Dori Adams our real estate agent is fantastic and is always available if you need anything

Our family has rented at Ocean City for approximately 30 years using Berger Realty and agent John Greiner, to assure a successful and enjoyable vacation. John is a highly competent professional rental and sales agent who has never failed to provide a issue free vacation. Starting with a simple phone call a list of available rentals suited to our requirements is generated. Whatever our choice John does his home work to ensure there are no hidden issues that could create problems. John is a knowledgeable and friendly professional and I would highly recommend his services to all potential clients.

My family has worked exclusively with John Greiner at Berger for almost 35 years (sorry John, it has been that long!) and we have never considered changing our agent or company. John has always found rental properties that suited us perfectly. He has managed any issue that has come up while we've been on vacation, quickly and efficiently dealing with the problem. I can't imagine there's a better agent in Ocean City and my only regret is that we haven't been able to buy a property in our favorite vacation town from John and Berger. Perhaps the next generation will fulfill that dream.

My husband and I have been renting through Berger Realty for quite a number of years with no issues. Our agent, Lauren Greiner, has been wonderful. We always check out properties online, and since we live only an hour away, set up an appointment with Lauren to see them in person before we rent. She is always friendly, helpful and makes herself available should there be any issues with the rental. We enjoy working with her every year.
