Wonderful weekend trip!

This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend. We had a basketball tournament and the location was literally a two minute walk to the front door of the convention center. The bay was quiet and the sunsets were beautiful. The entire unit was spotless and the pictures do not do it justice. The owners were very responsive and extremely accommodating. I would absolutely book this condo again in a heartbeat!

Great condo / location for Oceans Calling Festival

Property was well kept and clean and suited our needs for the Oceans Calling Festival. Property is right next to the Ocean City Convention Center which served as parking for the Oceans Calling Festival and there was a bus stop that picked up and dropped off concert goers by the parking lot so the location was great. Property owners were responsive and would rent again for a beach vacation as the location was walking distance to a lot of things.

Wonderful spot in the OC

This was the best choice I ever made for booking in OC. Hotels are a hit or a miss around there, and sometimes you really want a guarantee somewhere is clean and close by. The hosts were diligent in communication too!

Fantastic property

One of the best properties we’ve stayed at off VRBO. We were in town for the weekend for an event at the convention ctr and the location was perfect for that. The unit was SUPER clean and very well maintained. The view from the balcony was incredible w spectacular views of the sunset. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The owners were an absolute pleasure to work with. Would definitely stay in this condo again.

Relaxing

We were original owners at the unit next door for 30 years and it was a very familiar, comfortable feeling. The unit was well-maintained and there were upgrades throughout. Always enjoy the option of bayside because of the pool and fishing/boating pier and docks. The grounds are immaculately maintained as well and the upgrade to the facade looks nautical. Highly recommend as it is also centrally located which makes it convenient as well as it sits next to the convention center on the bay away from Coastal Highway traffic.

A perfect spot

We rented this unit for one week for my family of four. My daughter was competing in a dance competition at the convention center which is right across the street and was very easy to walk to. Easy 2 block walk to the beach and spectacular sunsets from the balcony. Owners were available and promptly answered all my questions and have great dining recommendations. Only negative thing was the all beds are very firm. Regardless we will definitely book here again for her next competition.

Dance Competition Week

We stayed here because the location was perfect due to the dance competition being held at the convention center. It was so easy to walk back and forth all day. The unit was very well maintained and the owners were very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us!

Gorgeous

This was our first time as a family staying in a condo as opposed to a hotel. The location of the property was perfect...away from the craziness of the boardwalk. It was truly a home away from home. Beautiful and clean. The view was amazing to wake up to every morning. Also, the master bed was so comfortable! We could not have been happier with our stay.

Lovely vacation spot! Great owner responsiveness.

My husband and I took my parents here for my dad's birthday. It was very relaxing (best sunset view ever). We had some craziness around the air condition unit when we first arrived and the property owner dealt with it immediately and was incredibly kind to us. We are long time visitors to OC Md (my parents are two- time owners of properties, one on the bayside and one on the ocean side with high standards) and we really did appreciate the professional communications / responsiveness of the owner, the cleanliness of the property and the opportunity to stay here.

Wonderful mini vacation

We were in ocmd for a cheer competition at the convention center. Staying at this condo was perfect for us! We could just walk across the parking lot for the performance! The condo itself was the perfect size for a family of 5. The balcony overlooking the bay was phenomenal. We got to view the sunset over the bay which was beautiful! The owners were amazing and their communication was great! All instructions to check in and check out are written perfectly to make it simple and quick. The owners even made sure my family made it safely to our location! I hope we get to visit this condo again!

An Amazing Gem

We had an amazing getaway due in part to this beautifully appointed condo that has a million-dollar view of the bay. Much of the unit was recently renovated and has all of the comforts of home. I interacted with the owners and they were friendly and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this unit. You will not be disappointed.
