The Best VRBO's & Airbnbs in Ocean City, MD for Families: Beach Vacation Rentals & Condos (December 2024)

Ocean City, Maryland is a popular beach destination for families coming from Washington D.C. and other nearby metropolitan areas. The beach has a fun and lively vibe with plenty of activities for kids. There's a Boardwalk that draws a crowd on summer days when you can enjoy a classic beach snack while wandering the promenade.

Accommodation in Ocean City is predominantly high rise condos and hotels, but some areas do have smaller houses. Location can dramatically affect price, with properties right on the beach costing the most.

Boardwalk/Downtown

Inlet to 30th Street

Downtown Ocean City is where you'll find the city's iconic Boardwalk, which offers the quintessential beach vibe that people love. It's lined with restaurants, shops, food stands, games, and rides, so it's the perfect place to grab a hot dog and snow cone or ride a classic beach roller coaster.

This is the place to stay if you want to be at the center of the action. The area attracts the largest crowds, particularly during festivals, so parking can be a bit challenging. Fortunately here's the Ocean City Beach Bus that offers all day rides with a full day pass for only $3. There's also a more expensive Boardwalk tram that you can take.

The area is filled with high rise condos that offer beachfront views, modern amenities, and often pools or other fun activities. Below are just a couple of the best AirBnbs in the area.
