We typically make it down to Ocean City in the morning and have breakfast, rather than waiting to closer to check in time. After breakfast, we went to find the property so we could see about where it was. Since it was still before the previous renters check out time, we parked in the near by parking lot and went to the beach for a little while. Well within walking distance. Like a block from behind the boardwalk.
When we were done and got back to the vehicle, we went to park in one of two of the parking spots that was included with the unit. There was a truck parked in the other spot. At first we thought maybe there was a double booking with the unit or someone was just in the wrong spot since it was after check out time. Neither were the case and it was just the cleaning crew for the unit that were there early. They asked for my phone number so that they could let us know when they were done so that we could get into the unit once they were done. Ended up being able to check in a couple hours before check in, which was awesome for the kiddos!
After going to the first floor to our unit to take a look inside, there was a keylock on the door. We thought the cleaning crew accidently maybe put the wrong key in the box because it didn't seem to work, but we just wasn't turn the key hard enough and turn the handle with it. The pool was directly outside our unit, which was great for the all the kids. They loved it!
Once inside, it as the pictures showed. One thing that was interesting that we saw in the unit that we weren't used to was that, not only was it fully furnished, but there was lots of extras. The one closet in the hallway near the kitchen had various items for the house (trash bags, sandwich bags, vacuum, etc.). Then the closet in the laundry room had beach/pool toys, beach chairs, life jackets, boogieboards, etc. They even had extra, large beach towels available.
We could see the shark, from Ripley's Believe It or Not on the boardwalk, from the balcony of the master bedroom. The master bathroom was amazing! This would be the only place that I could really say was a bummer about the place. Everyone was excited to use the tub with the jets. Unfortunately, no matter when we tried to use it, the hot water would run out before reaching high enough to be able to turn on the jets, so we couldn't fully enjoy the that like we all had hoped.
Fantastic property otherwise! Great for Sand Duels! This could turn into a place we stay annually.
