Ocean City Vacation Homes

“I’ll start be saying, the communication was very responsive. I knew I’d have a $75 “resort fee,” but figured that would include the amenities. Even to play a game a pool on the 22nd floor was still $5- inexpensive as that may seem, but without any other interest, I only assumed that $75 would cover those sorts of activities. The room was easy to access with the digital keypad, but when we entered there was sand on the floors, hair on the towels in the bathroom, hair on the ground, and also the dryer lint catch looked like I hadn’t been emptied in a month. The space was more than enough for 2 people, but could be tight for more. The hot water lasted about 17-20 minutes- I’d recommend an instant hwh on the next update.”

“Buyer beware! Booked this property months in advance for a 4-night stay. Before arriving, I contacted management multiple times to ask about flooding and road access. Their responses failed to communicate the severity of the conditions we encountered. Upon arrival, we had to drive through extremely deep floodwater that came over the hood of our van just to access the property. Our vehicle displayed a battery warning afterward. We have photos documenting the flooding and evidence of road closures. This was a serious safety concern, not a minor weather inconvenience. We left the following day because we did not feel safe staying. Had management truthfully answered our questions, we would never have made the trip. Despite requesting a refund for the three unused nights, OC Vacation Homes refused to refund us. The lack of transparency when we specifically asked about conditions beforehand was unacceptable. Would never book this property again. The place was old and dusty- bed was awful!”

“This condo should not be rented out. Not only was it horribly outdated, it was filthy with excessive dust and grime on the vents, door slats, light switches, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The curtains were falling off the wall, the bunk bed was rusted and the shower curtain rings and liner were filled with rust. We actually looked for bed bugs (thankfully none). Decided to go across the street to TJ Maxx and purchase blankets and pillows to sleep upon. This condo is a disgrace and we opted to leave early. I have plenty of pictures to back up my claims.”

“Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. We booked this stay specifically for the Oceans Calling music festival in Ocean City, which was canceled due to the nor’easter, flooding, and unsafe weather conditions. I understood that the host would not allow a last-minute cancellation or refund. What disappointed me though was the lack of flexibility. I asked if we could simply reschedule our stay for another date rather than receive a refund. I even offered to return during the off-season, when the property had no other renters, so there would be minimal impact to the host. Unfortunately, they still declined. I understand having cancellation policies, but I had hoped for some compassion and willingness to work with us given the unusual circumstances. We were left feeling very disappointed with how the situation was handled. We will not be booking with this host or company again in the future.”

“We came for OC festival weekend for my daughters bday. Festival was cancelled due to extreme weather but don’t let that fool you about my review. Being mostly cooped up inside an Airbnb during a miserable weekend wouldn’t have been so bad if accommodations were better. First this unit isn’t marked with number. Second, upon opening door - the smell of must and mold and/or old cigarettes or something is overpowering and stays throughout. Beds are hard, very uncomfortable and minimum, old linens. Main bathroom shower wouldn’t turn on fully and half came out of spigot filling the tub with water while you shower. Hot water does not last. Floor felt dirty and was dusty under bed badly where I had to retrieve a shirt that got pushed under. No central heat or air, a/c units are taped in the wall. Baseboard heaters are rusty. Place needs updated terribly and the price was very high for what we got. Only redeeming quality is that the the kitchen is decent and it is a block from the ocean.”

“The condo was generally nice and very accurate based on the description. There was bad weather; rain and high winds while in town and the first night one of the bedrooms leaked water from the ceiling and walls. Water was coming in a dripping on our guests heads. We reported the issue promptly and the host was quick to respond and get a handyman out to check. We were told it was a bad storm, there was nothing they could do until the rain stopped and offered no other assistance. They also mentioned they have had re-occurring issues with this property with leaking water. They did not offer an compensation for the leakage/disruption and when asked they offered us a very small credit, which we had to negotiate. Ultimately we were dissatisfied with the outcome, credit and how they handled the situation overall. When we asked them to replace the bedding, they set two large bundles of sheets, blankets, etc. outside our door to deal with ourselves. I personally wouldn't use this company again.”

“Great location, great views, furniture is dated it would be nicer if there was lounge furniture on patio. It should have been cleaner. Very dusty and floors were dirty.”

“Upon entering the residence, it was very clear that it had not been cleaned for our stay. There was hair on the master bathroom floor, baseboard, sink & shower. There was food garbage in the kitchen sink & several dirty dishes. The surfaces had a greasy, streaky residue as if they hadn’t even been cleaned either. The Master shower & sink were not draining & the secondary toilet was not flushing properly. I contacted the number for the host who offered to send someone to clean, but we had already cleaned the space as it was disgusting. They did send a handyman to do the repairs, however the shower continued to not drain almost to the point of flooding. It was a very disappointing place for us to enjoy a weekend for my brother-in-law as a childhood memory. They did refund us $150 for cleaning fee. I would not recommend this place for anyone to stay. I am a professional cleaner for rentals and we have had multiple rentals ourselves. I would NEVER leave our spaces like this.”

“We booked for Oceans Calling Festival, which was cancelled for severe weather and floods. We did not expect rental to be refunded as it was advertised as non refundable. We requested that the cleaning fee be refunded as we did not use the unit. They declined as that is not their policy. Our request is extremely reasonable and keeping that fee is extremely greedy, a very poor business practice, and leads me to believe the owners are people of questionable character. We will not use this host ever again.”

“I would not recommend booking with this host. Our plans were completely ruined due Ocean City was experiencing flooding, and the concert we were traveling for was canceled for the weekend. We were simply trying to find a reasonable solution to a situation that was no fault of our own. I reached out to the host hoping to change our dates or receive a partial refund. I wasn't asking for everything back, just some understanding and a fair compromise. Instead, the host refused to accommodate us and chose to strictly enforce the cancellation policy. I understand that hosts have policies, but there is a difference between having a policy and showing a little compassion when unexpected circumstances completely change someone's travel plans. We weren't canceling because we simply changed our minds. We were dealing with flooding and a canceled event that was the entire reason for our trip. What really disappointed me was the complete lack of flexibility or willingness to work with us.”
