My family and I recently enjoyed staying at this beach condo. The condo was clean and well-maintained. The beds and pillows are okay. It helped that I brought my own pillows.

Ocean and Bay views with a pool

DouglasRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This condo is clean and modern with plenty of space. The four of us had plenty of room and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It is located a short ten-minute walk from one of the best restaurants in Ocean City and a two-minute walk to the dune crossing for the beach. The view of the Bay and Atlantic is very good. Sunsets over the Bay are spectacular. We had a minor issue, that was quickly resolved by our host, Leland. The early check in was greatly appreciated since it was quite warm when we arrived. It’s a great place to stay and we would definitely return as schedules allow. Stay here, you won’t be sorry!

Ocean Front 802 Midtown Oasis Pool & Parking

MoniqueRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I enjoyed staying at this location. The view once you enter the condo is fantastic. Access to the beach and to other ocean city restaurants are great very walkable or very very short drive . The building is undergoing some kind of construction so when you walk into the building it’s clearly being worked on and is a bit dusty but once you get in the condo everything melts away. The condo also comes with some beach chairs and umbrellas.

This place exceeded our expectations. Our family and dog absolutely loved it . The house was clean and ready for us upon arrival. Everything was within driving distance. After busy long days we came back to a nice and quiet area and slept well. The beds were so comfortable. Loved that we all had our separate bathrooms and had enough space. Highly recommend staying. We enjoyed our stay. Yue was welcoming and kept in communication throughout our stay.

Bethany Beach 116 5th St Oceanblock

JamesRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We were a group of 10 and spent Thanksgiving week with our kids and grandkids at Paul's place. The house was perfect with plenty of space, nice furnishings and comfortable beds. It was walkable to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants. The weather cooperated and we spent time walking, sitting and playing football on the beach. The kitchen was so well equipped with everything we needed to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the perfect place for our family to gather for Thanksgiving! Thanks Paul

Luxury Canal Front 2 Bedroom Condo-5 Star Reviews

MadgeRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We were very impressed with Terri and Kate’s place. It was easy to get to and easy to access. It met all our expectations and exceeded them as we were treated with a gift basket of yummy treats and a bottle of wine. House rules were easy to find and easy to abide by nothing extreme was asked of us. They responded quickly to our questions and even offered an extended check out on the day of departure since no one else was booked for that day. Highly recommend!

WHAT DAY IS IT???????

KarinRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We had a wonderful stay at Brian’s place! The house was very comfortable, beautiful, clean and well equipped. The welcome basket and the baskets of samples in case you forgot something was a nice touch. He was very responsive to any questions I had. The beach parking pass was perfect - we took advantage of that on 2 days. I would definitely recommend this house. I wish we had more time at the house to enjoy it even more.

Your guide to Ocean City

All About Ocean City

With 10 miles of soft sand along its free public beach, waters perfect for surfing and boating, and buckets of coastal charm, Ocean City, Maryland, has long been a top choice for summer vacation rentals. The wooden boardwalk offers quintessential coastal fun, no matter your age: classic fairground rides, retro arcade games, and spectacular views from the Ferris wheel never get old. Watch the sunset as you stroll along, frozen custard in hand. Crack open crab legs, brought in straight from the sea. End the night listening to live music as fireworks burst and crackle over the ocean. Nearby, explore enchanting wilderness on Assateague Island, where wild ponies graze. With a warm, friendly atmosphere, this small town offers plenty to do for young families, groups of friends, and couples alike.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocean City

Ocean City comes alive in summer. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, families flock into town for the sun, beautiful beach, and a lively atmosphere that includes live music every night, weekly fireworks, free movies on the beach, and, best of all, the peak of crab season. Keep in mind that it will be busy, so be sure to secure your Ocean City house rental in advance. Come at the end of September for the city’s biggest festival, where you’ll find live music, food stalls, art, hayrides, and kid-friendly activities. The weather will be cooler, but still pleasant enough to spend time walking around outside, hiking, or boating (though maybe not swimming).

Ocean City quiets down over the winter, and many shops as well as boardwalk activities close their doors. The festive season from mid-November to New Year’s sees the town turn into a winter wonderland. Things start to slowly pick back up in April, when the first warm rays of sun signal the return of beach weather.


Top things to do in Ocean City

Eat crab

Crab is a fixture of just about every menu in Maryland, and Ocean City does this crustacean particularly well. Boiled, fried, steamed, or cooked into a cake, there are multiple ways to enjoy it — and no shortage of places around town to get it fresh from the ocean. Even better: All-you-can-eat seafood buffets are something of a hallmark around here.

Assateague Island

Assateague Island, with its seemingly endless coast, feels like the tip of the world. Spend the day here exploring the untouched wilderness. But what really makes this spot magical is that it’s home to herds of wild ponies — and has remained so by being diligent about the conservation of their habitat. You can’t get too close, but seeing them gallop across the horizon and graze in the fields is pretty incredible.

Ayer’s Creek

Ayer’s Creek is a short jaunt outside of town, and is well worth it for a day of paddle boating or kayaking through salt marshes and forested wetlands. The sunsets here are pretty spectacular, as is paddling under the light of the full moon, which you can organize with tour operators on the ground.
