We LOVED our vacation in Ocean City at the Golden Sands! The property and grounds were very clean. The deck had wonderful entertainment each night. The food and drinks were VERY REASONABLE and YUMMY!!! There were so many options for entertainment right on sight...volleyball, shuffle board, tennis, video games, pool table, just to mention a few. The fitness center on the 22 floor was wonderful. It had state of the art equipment and a view that postcard worthy. Bayside and ocean side beauty depending on the side of the gym you were enjoying! Our condo was fully equipped and very comfortable. The owner has a very helpful binder that gives information about EVERYTHING in the condo and surrounding area. The view from the balcony and master bedroom was BREATH TAKING. I loved waking each morning with the sun shining through the floor to ceiling, full wall window (my husband graciously allowed me to leave the blinds open so I could watch the sunrise each day from bed). During our stay, we had a minor concern. I contacted the owner and she replied very promptly and even checked back the next morning to be sure all was well, which it was. Because I read reviews to make my decisions when renting I will put my only disappointment, but you should know that it in no way would deter me from going back again. Very, very minor. The stairway is next to the garbage chute. They smell. For my family, this way not a problem. They are elevator people. I always walk the stairs. I walked them everyday, everytime. I would go back to the Golden Sands again in a heartbeat. The facilty was wonderful and the owner is friendly, helpful, and made sure our vacation was enjoyable.

Wonderful Stay!

Arrival was a bit delayed because of traffic thru Delaware. Once we arrived and I went to check in the person at the desk was not as helpful as he should have been, in my opinion. During our travel, the printed paperwork was lost. When I tried to ask if he could find Elina G.'s name and apt.number and he refused. I had to pay an additional $50 to get internet access so I could find my emails (even though it would be free once I got to the apartment) Once this was all settled, we got to our rental. It was beautiful. There were a few things we noticed. The photos show 2 bedrooms, both with ocean views. This is not true. Only one has the ocean view...rather deceiving photography and disappointing - since that is really what I based my rental choice on. The cabinets are a bit dated - but all was clean and very pleasant to stay for a week. Over all....we had a great week!

We were looking to plan a last minute vacation to OCMD and this condo unit made the stay fantastic. It had all the needed like-home features. It was clean and in a great location north of the boardwalk. The outside patio for the condo had several shops including an ice cream shop that we went to a lot. Plus the Golden Sands had super fun activities for everyone. We will be coming back.
