About this property

Ocean City Escape - 7 Steps from the Sand!

The Tropicana is a PERFECT spot for families with the private area protected by the dunes, a GREAT spot for football games or cornhole...Or a great spot for the kids to play while you have a cocktail on the deck! It's a common occurrence for families…kids of all ages…to have pick-up games in the large dune-protected "sand box" in front of the condo. We think one of the best features of our place is that it is seven steps down to the sand!

In addition to FANTASTIC beach views and easy beach access, our place offers a full kitchen (NEW APPLIANCES INSTALLED NOVEMBER 2020!), sleeper sofa, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, TVs with cable, DVD and WiFi. The condo is located on 79th street near terrific shopping and restaurants. When you finally come in off the beach, there are many fun things to do in and around Ocean City and you are close to Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island – or just enjoy the view from the deck.

We've also found it a perfect spot for an overnight escape for two - or a long weekend. (Although I confess we've not been able to use it for a long weekend for it sure sounds like a great idea!)

Check in and out were seamless and easy. And Kimberly was great. Easy to reach out to and receptive to our needs. There was a small maintenance issue with the shower rod while we were there, it kept falling off the wall. Took a few days to fix, but the owner was quick to reply and was helpful in getting a handyman to do the repair. Place could have been cleaner. The coffee pot and some dishes/pots were dirty and I needed to wash prior to using, the cabinets had crumbs in them along with old oil and spices that were left behind. Kitchen overall isn't well stocked if you plan on meal prep. The bathroom floor was a bit dirty as well. There is also a musty dampness in the condo which might be because of its beachfront location, or the A/C, I'm not sure but it was very humid inside. May be ok for some but we didn't care for it. On the plus side you can't beat the location. Steps from the beach and an easy walk to restaurants and shops. The condo was a comfortable size for 4 people just needs some TLC in my opinion. It took alot for my family and I to afford a vacation year, I was just hoping for a little better. This is my honest review overall 3/5 stars. Not the worst place I've rented but not the best either.

The ocean was visible and but the beach was not. But the sound of waves crashing as I sat on the deck was so enjoyable. I would stay here again for sure. The place was smaller than pictures let on, however it was perfect for my son and I to come and get away, wish we could have came for a week.
