Our family had a great vacation at this location. The condo is just perfect and the host is great. We all loved it!
5.0
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!

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.

Kathy was great to deal with, she got right back to me when we had a question. We really enjoyed our stay! Didn’t want to leave. The view of the bay is amazing!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Home Away From Home
It’s was a perfect location for our National dance competition at the convention center. It was very clean , up to date , and felt like a home away from home . I will most likely be booking the same location for next year . Thanks for your wonderful hospitality.

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.

Great place!
We loved this place! Everything was clean and beautiful! There is a cart in the front closet—would have been good to know that before we unloaded lol. Also food stuck to the pans when we cooked. But the beds were super comfy! Will def stay again!!

Awesome!!!!
Superb!!! I will never go to Florida again on vacation. The house was amazing and that view went beyond my expectations. I would give 5 stars for the cleanliness of the house. We go on vacation every year and this was one of the best.

Great affordable stay
Property owners were a pleasure to speak to. My fiancé and baby came down and everything was clean. Not a spec of hair to be found and we were comfortable having the little one roam around.
Will return next year again!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo! The views of the bay are amazing!
We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was easy to check in and loved having a code to access the front door. It made it really convenient for everyone. The views of the bay were amazing and we enjoyed watching the sun set every night. It was an easy walk to the beach as well. We rarely drove our car the entire stay. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to book again next year!

Spectacular Sunsets on the Bay
Spectaculat sunset views from your balcony whch seems like it is right on top of the water. We really enjoyed the privacy and comfort of this well equipped and very nicely appointed unit. The location is very convenient, right on the bay with a pool and boating docks, The Ocean and boardwalk are a short drive away. Restaurants shopping and golf courses are nearby. A terrific vacation spot. Owners were very nice and accomodating. We'll come back anytime!

Beautiful Bay View and Good Size
We stayed with an infant, my husband and in-laws for the week in July. The bay view really makes this place special and you can spend a large part of the morning having coffee and reading outside. The pool on the property is really nice overlooking the water! The parking was easy and elevator to bring stuff up and down. We found that two beds and two baths fit us perfectly, the bed in the living room is great. The only thing that could be improved for future visits is updating the furniture after many great vacations. Also, having linens provided would have made the trip a lot easier with packing. However, it was really nice, fit our budget, and allowed us to experience OCMD! The owners are super responsive and kind, you can tell they love the area.
