About this property

#1 Rated Condo, Oceanfront, with Bay View Too

Extra Large (990 sq ft) direct oceanfront 2 bedroom condo that has fantastic bay views also, This condo is very rare to have a direct oceanfront balcony and an additional direct west-facing balcony to capture the beautiful sunsets! Don't be fooled by the listings that claim to be oceanfront that is actually ocean side, or can't even see the ocean.

A lot of new guests ask how have we maintained over 8 years all 5-star reviews, we do that by reinvesting money back into the condo consistently. The Winter of 21/22 was a new water heater and HVAC system, over $7,000 spent, the winter of 20/21 was new carpet, LR blinds, and bed linens, $5000 spent, we do this every year. And every year we replace the heavily used items like pots and pans, etc. We are always keeping up with anything that shows wear or is broken.

A complete remodel of the entire unit was done that includes the kitchen with new cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters, and ceramic flooring. The bath has new ceramic floors, cabinets, a sink, and a toilet. The bedrooms have new carpet, furnishings, paint, window treatments, 40" smart HD wall-mounted TV in the master and 27" TV/DVD in the second bedroom, and a new King box spring and mattress in the master. The living and dining rooms have new paint, window treatments, a new full-size sleep sofa, and a 46" smart HDTV with a Blu-ray player in the living room.

Our unit is light, bright, and airy with windows on three sides the unit has the most spectacular views I have seen in OC.

There are 2 private balconies for you to enjoy. One is a direct oceanfront where you overlook the pool, beach, and ocean. You can see and hear the ocean and watch a sunrise. The other balcony looks directly west at the bay where you can watch the spectacular purple, pink, and orange sunsets. The direct bay view balcony has a picnic table and seating so you can enjoy those stunning sunsets while having dinner or cocktails outside.

Our kitchen is fully stocked so if you enjoy staying in and cooking meals on your vacation it's perfect for that. We also have a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience. We are located at the northern end of Ocean City where it is peaceful and tranquil, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds and traffic.

Rainbow has 2 beautiful pools, 1 regular oceanfront pool, and also a Kiddie pool. (The pool is open from Memorial Day until Sept. 25th)

We include FREE Comcast WiFi that is private to our unit, no sharing with the building, NO $40.00 weekly fee, and great speed!

There is parking for ONE car only, and there is a $30.00 parking fee per stay during the summer.

Sheets and towels are not included in the rental but are available for an additional charge.

We only do Saturday to Saturday rentals from June to September. 1, 2, or 3-week rentals.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Convenient, clean, updated beachfront condo with plenty of space for a small family. We enjoyed the views from both balconies along with the proximity to the beach and surrounding restaurants. The condo was very clean upon arrival, comfortable, and provided all that we needed.

The rental was perfect. Great location close to everything! We loved the ocean in front, the bay behind us, affording views of sunrises and sunsets. The greenery added to the beauty of the landscape and we left our bedroom doors open to hear the sound of the waves lulling us to sleep all night. The condo was clean and suited our needs beautifully. The only problem is that the week went by much too fast!

Easy to communicate with the owner. The beach view was amazing. About 7 1/2 miles to the inlet so you need a car or Uber. Lots to do and see within a few walkable blocks.

Beyond our Expectation!

The condo was perfect for our 3 night stay. The condo was very cozy and comfortable. The ocean view deck is beautiful. The bayside deck was perfect for the sunset. The bed in the master bedroom was so very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again in the future. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. It was very quiet in the area. Perfect Stay!!

Oceanside Rest

The condo was very comfortable and as advertised. I stayed for two weeks - a combination of work and vacation time. The internet worked perfectly for my work requiring dozens of files open at once, video calls etc. The master bed was super comfortable.The condo was well supplied with the basics and the ocean views, sounds and smells are what we all travel for!

Great Ocean City Location

This condo has a great view of ocean and bay with the two sepearate balconies, not every condo in this bldg have this option. Has a great pool as well, that is kept very clean by the staff. Short distance to waters edge. Condo had all we needed for our girls trip. King bed was very confy, however twin beds were much less comfortable. All in all was a great place to stay. Highly recommend.

GREAT location!

Location was awesome if you want to stay out of the busier parts of OCM. Building was old/outdated but the unit itself had been remodeled nicely and decorated super cute! My 4 YO daughter especially liked all the shells, colors, & pics in the unit. The railing of balcony was a bit concerning (the entire building needs to update that) as one of the railings was loose. BEAUTIFUL views with a quiet beach to enjoy. We went during off season but a local we met said that particular beach location doesn't really get too busy anyways in summer. lots of good restaurants near by and quick drive to the pier and busier part of OCM when you want it. We would definitely go back again!

Revisiting Ocean City!

When I was younger my family spent time in and around Ocean City. I wanted to bring my family back to a place that I had good memories of. Staying in Ron’s condo gave us great access around the city and being able to walk right out to the beach was fantastic!

About the host

Hosted by Ron Zimmerman

Host profile image
I live in Columbia, Maryland, and have been vacationing in Ocean City my whole life with 2 children. I am in the construction/hardware business so the condo is always in a GREAT state of repair. I also put HIGHEST priority on the cleanliness of the condo. My Cleaning company is TOP Notch. (included in rental)

Why they chose this property

We really love this beautiful building and had been looking at condos here for quite some time and were finally able to buy one. What we love about this condo is that there are a lot of windows (3 sides) that allow fantastic views from each room. While sitting in the living room there is a direct ocean front view as well as a bay view. From the bedrooms there are also ocean front and bay views. The living room is spacious and open, large enough for the entire family to hang out together, watch tv, read, listen to music, play games or just enjoy the views from the 10th floor!

What makes this property unique

Besides the fantastic views, the pool is ocean-front. You can lounge in a poolside chair with a view of the beach and ocean too.
