"Affordable" Oceanfront - Antigua 304 in Ocean City

This beautiful, DIRECT (most units are partial in this building) OCEANFRONT 2 bedroom/2 bath condo is located on the THIRD floor in the unique Antigua (recently renovated) building.

Parents, kids and AARP members will certainly appreciate this desirable and convenient location  ~  high enough to provide privacy and stunning views, yet low enough so you won't have to wait long for elevators  ~  quickly run up to unit for bathroom breaks, snacks and drinks  ~  while relaxing on the porch  ~  avoid vertigo (top floor units)  ~  wave at friends, family or holler at the kids  ~  and best of all  ~  you're steps away (about a 100' from balcony - couple hundred feet from lobby) from a quiet and uncrowded beach (even during primetime)!

"Tony,

Just wanted to thank you for your AWESOME condo July 4th weekend.  My family had a wonderful time and your place is GREAT.  WHAT A VIEW.  We are definately interested in renting it again.  As soon as we have dates we'll let you know. 

Thanks again, Michele"

Upon entering you will immediately notice this is not your typical "shoebox" condo  ~  instead you will find a unique and open plan  ~  20 feet of glass sliders provide fabulous views which invite you to relax and enjoy the private and spacious 5' x 20' balcony!

Oops!  Almost forgot to mention the oceanfront master bedroom with 18 feet of windows and access to THE balcony referenced above courtesy of a 5' sliding door :)

Unit #304 sleeps up to 6:

• oceanfront master bedroom = queen bed
• front bedroom = pyramid bunk bed
• living room = pull-out sofa bed

Amenities include:

• full kitchen
• refrigerator w/ice maker
• range w/over-top microwave

and...if the beach and attractions aren't enough:

"Tony,

I just wanted to thank you for allowing us to do a mini week rental at your condo. We had a great time.  You have a beautiful place on the beach.  I hope we left everything up to your standards.  We are planning to come back next year if you have an opening that will work for us again.  I loved how the kitchen is decorated.....If you ever have anyone that would like a recommendation, let us know & we will gladly give one.....Once again THANK YOU so very much for the use of your lovely place.  We really enjoyed it & ourselves.

Sincerely,

Joan Hess-Bogart"                                      

The Antigua, a mid-rise building between 85th & 86th street, is centrally located between the north and south ends of Ocean City.

Antigua amenities include:

• heated pool and kiddy pool
• one parking space
• manager on premises
• 24-hour security

Close proximity to the Rt. 90 bridge means arriving and leaving will certainly be more convenient  ~  this desirable location offers two traffic lights in front of the building and a city bus stop that will take you anywhere in OC for cheap  ~  gas/convenience store across the street   ~  a short walk to several restaurants  ~  a longer walk for burger/dogs/drinks/ice cream  ~  a short drive to grocery store/restaurants/movies/putt-putt golf/waterparks/boardwalk/rides  ~  about 3.5 miles to boardwalk  ~  and a longer drive to Assateague Island.

"Hi Tony,

I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Ocean City! Your condo was great and the view from the balcony was incredible. We loved the location and the easy access to the beach. Thank you for your flexibility. We hope to stay there again next year!

Take care, Erin"
 

Rates: 

Upon inquiry I will provide you with a base rate, then you add the additional costs. Yeesss... it's a pain in the tookish, but that's how all the management companies do it and reel you in.

Please provide AGE OF ALL GUESTS when you inquire for rates.

Availability:

This is a MINI-WEEK (3 or 4 night) rental: Friday - Monday OR Monday - Friday.  2 nights are only available in the off-season (Octoberish to Mayish).

You can COMBINE consecutive mini-weeks for a FULL week ~ Friday - Friday OR Monday - Monday ~ although not as "affordable", I do have returning guests that splurge - they'd rather not take a chance on unpleasant surprises.

* Senior/College graduate group (all girls only) availability: May 14 to June 18

Monday - Friday miniweeks go quick along with Memorial & Labor day, July 4th and special event weekends ~ I start receiving inquiries in late fall/early winter for the following summer!!! ~ If unit has already been reserved, don't forget to BOOKMARK FOR NEXT YEAR'S VACATION!

Check-In/Check-Out:

The majority of OC rentals are Saturday to Saturday weekly rentals with check-in at 3 p.m - thus lots of traffic coming and going! My Check-In is 1 p.m. on Friday or Monday - this allows you to beat the traffic, grab the key, get settled and still have the rest of the afternoon to catch some rays on the beach!!! Check-Out is 10:00 a.m.

Additional Costs:

MD state and OC lodging tax = 10.5% ~ yuck :(
Antigua parking permit (Memorial to Labor) = $25
Shoreline Properties reservation/admin fee = $45
(they handle my reservations, leases, deposits, keys, etc. and are conveniently located a couple of blocks from unit ~ I don't know you and you don't know me ~ protects both of us ~ fee waived for returning guests)

Security Deposit:

$300 refundable OR $45 non-refundable (accidental damage insurance - up to $1000 damage)

Payment:

$100 due upon reservation - credit card; half of total rental amount (less $100 reservation) due within 7 days - personal check or money order only.

Sorry, no pets or smoking allowed.
