4th year in a row, would book again

We have stayed at the Golden Sands four years in a row and 501 was the best of the four. You can tell the owners take pride in their property. Reasonably priced and good amenities. Will book this one next year if available!

Overall great experience

The condo was clean and the bedroom/bed set up was perfect. The back patio of the complex was really great to gather with a larger group. Our only complaint was the stairwells smelled terrible. The elevators were busy so we wanted to take the stairs but it required holding our breath the whole time.

House excellent but not clean

This is our second year staying at 501. Beds are firm and TVs are all nice with cable. Decent stock of cookware. However when we arrived we found that two of the three bathrooms were not cleaned at all. There was used soap 🧼 in the soap dish and scum and hair on the bathtub and shower walls. The toilets were dirty. Bathroom floors were sandy. There was sand in both tubs. In the kitchen we found that the coffee maker still had used grounds in the basket and the entire thing was nasty and dirty and worn out. The toaster didn’t work unless you held down the lever. The sink and tub in hall bathroom were clogged. Vacasa sent someone to unclog and the drains were full of scum and hair which he put into our trash can. Yuck. All dishes and utensils in the cupboard and drawers were dirty. The utensil drawer was disgusting. Needless to say I spent the whole first day cleaning everything. The linens were on the beds but I decided to check out the mattresses and under the sheets there was hair and dirt so I had to wash all the linens. The mattress pad and master bedroom comforter had blood stains on them. I didn’t use them. The towels vacasa supplied were hard and thin and smelly. Luckily I had brought my own. The pillows seemed nice but I brought my own. All of the floors were filthy and sandy. So although the unit smelled like cleaner one wonders if they sprayed it around to appear like it was cleaned. After I called to alert vacasa about the condition of the unit they offered to send a cleaning person the next day but I had already cleaned as there was long black hair and dirt everywhere including in the bathroom and bedroom drawers. I’m supposed to get my cleaning fee refunded but hasn’t happened yet. Vacasa delivered a new coffee maker and toaster the second day. The sofa and love seat are very worn and dirty. I feel bad for the owners as they made great effort to provide a nice rental but the cleaning service is very negligent and lacking. Golden sands is in need of remodeling and some updated entertainment but all in all it’s still a nice family place to go. As usual the staff was burned out since it was the last week of summer but that’s expected.

Good time, but off to a rough start.

We love Ocean City! Our family has vacationed here for many years. This condo was the first negative experience we had. We walked into a dirty space that had not been cleaned. Sand and hair everywhere, all surfaces of tables, faucets, kitchen counter, floors and carpets were dirty. We contacted. Vacasa right away and they tried to help and resolve the issue by sending someone back to clean but it wasn’t done right until the next day when the cleaning company owner came in the morning. The local manager was very helpful and apologetic so we were thankful that she was willing to help us out. Once the condo was finally clean we could unpack and settle in for a relaxing week. We enjoyed the location and the facilities at Golden Sands. We played volleyball, ping pong, pickle ball, and corn hole throughout the week! The beach was busy but our whole family enjoyed the view and spending time on the beach during the week. The cleaning issue was unfortunate. Only other cons to this property was the old and uncomfortable living room furniture and some of the beds were also not comfortable for sleeping. Two queen beds had recently been replaced and those were fine. Note from the owners assured that new living room furniture had been ordered so maybe it will be replaced soon. Plan on brining paper supplies, any cleaning supplies you may need, and garbage bags as the starter kit that was left did not last long. Dryer stopped working a few days before we left also. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay in OCMD! We would return to the Golden Sands but would choose a different unit and ask about the cleaning company next time.

Room was very nice, clean with a great beach view and spacious to accommodate 7 people. Couch in living room was a little outdated compared to everything else in the house but was still fine. Only complaint I had is that one of the bathrooms tub and sink clogged up the first day of arrival and could not be used at all. Then another bathroom sink clogged up on the last day there.
