Great location in the heart of Ocean City, within walking distance of the boardwalk, rides, restaurants, and shops. The condo has been recently renovated, includes a full kitchen, linens are provided, and the shared balcony is a nice bonus. The staff was consistently friendly, responsive, and professional.
A few things to know before booking: We were asked to upload our driver’s license and credit card before check-in, though I was able to provide them at the front desk. We received our room around 3 p.m., before the 4 p.m. check-in, but there seemed to be a communication breakdown.
The biggest issue was cleanliness. Many dishes and utensils had visible residue, the floors still had sand, and the microwave, oven, refrigerator, freezer, and windows needed better cleaning. While I understand beach properties are harder to maintain, for a property marketed as “luxury” I expected more attention to detail.
The primary bedroom does not have an en suite bathroom, and the hallway bathroom is very small with almost no counter space. Several kitchen outlets didn’t work properly, and there were no baking sheets for the oven.
Although the condo sleeps eight, there is only one couch and seating for four, so it could feel crowded on a rainy day. Families with young children should also know there is no elevator for strollers and no bathtub.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay because of the location and the excellent staff, but I don’t feel the property currently lives up to its luxury branding.
