Coastal Life Vacations in Ocean City, Maryland

“Have never left a bad review, but want to give a heads up to future guests. We arrived to an empty toilet paper roll with NO extra TP, no hand soap, no hand towels, no paper towels, no dish soap, sponge, dishwasher pods, coffee supplies, or even salt and pepper. The two giant blue bags in the kitchen? Our bedding and towels. Yep...you get to make all 5 beds yourself, with color-coded instructions to figure out what goes where. 😆 Also, not a single rug or sandy-foot mat anywhere in a BEACH rental, so good luck keeping sand off the floors. I called management about the lack of toilet paper and was told they’d get back to me. Never did..but they DID remember to ask me for a review, so here it is. 😂The no-paper-products policy is buried in the listing, so WARNING BRING TP!!! One block from the beach, but the water was packed with jellyfish during our stay and my son was stung in the shore break!!😅 Honestly, Should have just paid for two hotel rooms. At least the beds would’ve been made”

“The property was materially inconsistent with its listing and fell well below acceptable standards of cleanliness, safety, and preparedness. The bed linen was soiled and visibly dirty; the bed beside the garage was unstable and excessively squeaky; and the kitchen lacked sufficient cutlery. The property was dusty and inadequately cleaned, while the garage had a strong unpleasant odor and required thorough scrubbing. Only after payment were we told that guests had to make their own beds – an important condition that should have been disclosed beforehand. Although advertised as a four-bedroom property, the purported fourth bedroom was simply the bed next to the garage. These deficiencies left us no reasonable choice but to leave immediately and seek alternative accommodation late at night, significantly disrupting our holiday. The experience was underwhelming and profoundly disappointing. Book at your own peril. On a positive note, Airbnb processed our refund promptly.”

“I cannot recommend Coastal Life Vacations based on my experience. My family paid nearly $2,500 for a three-night stay but had to leave after the first night because the property was not cleaned to an acceptable standard. We found stained bedding, food left in the refrigerator, used socks, and a box of JUUL inside drawers. These were clear signs the home had not been properly cleaned before our arrival. The next morning, my daughter woke up with what appeared to be multiple bug bites after sleeping in one of the bedrooms, which made us even more uncomfortable staying. When I contacted Coastal Life Vacations, they only stated they would address the issues with their cleaning team. Thankfully, Airbnb Support took our concerns seriously, reviewed our documentation, and worked with us through AirCover to reach a fair resolution. I appreciate Airbnb’s professionalism, but I hope Coastal Life Vacations significantly improves its cleaning standards.”

“This place was just okay. Location is great, walkable to boardwalk/beach and lots of food options around. I had asked for early check in & they said that wasn’t possible even though they asked if I wanted to come a day early since no one would be there. Upon arrival, we had to put the linen on the beds even though that was not mentioned before. The pillow covers & blanket were still on the beds which makes me wonder if they actually clean those since we were asked to leave them on the bed & remove the sheets underneath. The beds were SO old & hard. The bed frame was bad & in the first room had a huge hole in the wall due to the bed frame hitting it. The shower doors had hard water stains & in the 2nd bathroom, the water would pool when you showered. There was also dust/hair on the dressers. The location was great, I just wish this place was more accommodating especially for the price and for having to put on our own sheets, take out the trash, wash the dishes, etc.”

“Great location, convenient parking. I prefer rentals where beds are made but that’s just their policy to not make them. I question if comforters are washed because we had to leave them on beds. I was disappointed that when we checked in the clean towels and bedding were not there so we checked in to having someone else’s dirty linens in the room and not having clean towels so we could shower before our plans for dinner.”
