Default Ocean City Md. vacation

My wife wants to visit Ocean City in the middle of July. I would like a hotel on the beach, where would be a good place to stay?

Want the best of the best and absolutely 1st class accommodations with concierge service and rooms with marble tile floors and jacuzzi tub? This is the place. It's a little pricey but this is far enough North on the boardwalk that you're away from the riff raff, but still close enough that you can walk to anything. Anywhere from 10th to 27th streets I would consider to be "good" if you're looking for lots of activities, bars, nightlife, etc.

edit: btw, stayed here tons of times, and would highly highly recommend it. The "Commander" hotel is also nearby, but isn't quite the 1st class hotel of the above. Interesting for a Holiday Inn, eh? Gotta check it out!

Here is a really nice place, mid priced, rooms are fabulous. In-House food wasn't great though.

BTW remember in that town you cannot have a drink in your hand and set foot on a public street, or you get arrested - yes handcuffed and carried off.

I've been there for the spring car cruise the last few years (thousands and thousands of cars) and the cops are absolutely brutal

I have stayed at the Castle in the Sands. It is around 30th st. they have rooms and cottages depending on your parties size. They have a pool, bar, restaurant.

Check it out.

Default Thanks guys

I've started checking out the websites, some show no rooms available during that time period. Is something going on the week of the 17th? I'll have to start making some calls. Thanks again.

Ocean City MD is a very popular vacation spot, and July is right in the middle of their season. Good Luck

Rehoboth Beach in Delaware is very nice also. Bought 20miles ahead of Ocean City, but its great spot for drinks, food, nice beach, outlet shopping etc.

If you want to stay for a week, say Saturday to Saturday, check here for a condo:

http://www.cbvacations.com/

Cheaper in the long run than a hotel. Two bedroom condos, on the beach, usually go for about $1200/wk. Oceanblock units are cheaper, and bayside are cheaper still. All depends on what your preferences are. We're going down July 15-21.

We are only going to be there the 17th - 19th then we're driving down the coast to Charleston and back up to Michigan.
