Adjust your expectations. This is not a hotel. You will need to bring your linen, toilet paper, paper towels, and knife if you have groceries. Be prepared to carry everything upstairs. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, but the condition of the room is dated. If you can pass this, you will have nice beach vacation. The parking is one car provided right by the entrance. Nice view from semi-private balcony. Rooms are small. Location is great. read more

Boardwalk Terrace - Vacation Rental Agents Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

See all

A long time ago in a place far away (well, nearly 50 years ago, and as far south as you can go and still remain in the north)... ...there was a place called Residencial Vaca. It was a hotel that set a very high bar; a bar so high that a bedbug couldn't peer over it. For that reason alone I've always assumed the bar was permanently set. But we all know that when you take such a stance, you make an ___ out of U and ME. I say that because, ladies and gentlemen, the bar has indeed moved. Its new placement grants our loveable bedbug pal an unfettered view. This leaves it's neighbour, a poor and unsuspecting paramæcium, with the blocked view. But where, pray tell, did this monumental event happen? Why, I'm so glad you asked! It happened at none other than the astonishing Boardwalk Terrace Apartments in Ocean City, MD. Incidentally, before we get too far away from "lofty heights", please note that a few areas in the property aren't friendly to anything larger than a bar of soap. For example, the nook passing for the office in the basement has a ceiling on the high end of the 5' range, and the superfund cleanup site posing as the boardwalk access is a smelly, dirty, litter filled, slippery trip hazard that is barely 4' wide. The actual and sole entrance to Boardwalk Terrace Apartments is at the rear of the building. I mention this because multiple mapping/GPS routing methods all direct you to its front (which is on the boardwalk). The aforementioned rear is located off an alley that is barely wide enough to fit a car, let alone the trucks making deliveries to adjacent businesses. Heaven help you if a delivery truck happens to be in the alley when trying to get through, because that scenario results in a blockage that can make atherosclerosis look like a cakewalk. However, this and the boardwalk access situation, are more a series of municipal issues that had the misfortune of getting entangled in the bigger picture. The aforementioned alley also happens to be the only _fully_ ADA compliant element on the premises. Depending on the disability, accessibility will likely end at the structure, which is a walk-up. The narrow stairway has no anti-skid features, misaligned handrails, and is hazardous to the visually impaired. If you occupy the "penthouse", you'll use an even narrower stairway behind a private door on the third floor to gain access. Those stairs have a low overhang at the top.  If you're still with us, let's talk about the accommodations: Unless you get really lucky for some mysterious reason, you'll find damaged drop ceilings, rust and mould, damaged wall paneling and drywall, damaged floor tiles, doors and floors that aren't plumb, damaged cabinets, furnishings made at the start of the first millennium, iffy outlets, and appliances even a charity would reject.  The Old Testament only cites ten plagues befalling Egypt because no words could be found to describe the eleventh: The state of the bathrooms. These wonders of the world proudly feature dingy fixtures, and commodes that were already well past their prime when Moses was born. They're also likely the real reason why his parents sent him floating down the Nile. Putting it another way, some of the sinks are clamoring on u-bended knees for a plumber to euthanize them! The ceiling lights give off a harsh light best suited for a sporting facility. If you prefer a softer light, there's a few table lamps. However, not all of them worked because they were missing bulbs, had burned out bulbs, or because the CFL's glass was broken! Please note that CFLs contain Mercury, a neurotoxin, so specific cleanup procedures are required (see https://www.epa.gov/mercury/cleaning-broken-cfl). If after all of this you're _still_ considering a stay here, know the following: * Management provides fitted sheets, pillows, and bedspreads. Please bring all of your own bedding. * The cleanliness of the dishes, cutlery, and cookware is dubious, so bring those too. * Bring hangers, TP, paper towels, bath towels, and bath mats. * The property claims to clean the suites before check-in, but our findings were quite the opposite. * Garbage bags are not provided. Long story short: Camping in the wilderness is much more appealing. It's a far less expensive option, comes in at a fraction of the cost, and includes none the aforementioned headaches or biohazards. That staying at Boardwalk Terrace Apartments will require a set of brass balls is an understatement. Fortunately you'll find those at the saloon next door. In all fairness, I should also mention some positives about Boardwalk Terrace Apartments: * Pets are welcome upon request, albeit for a fee.  * The boardwalk is a few steps away, but avoid the passage. * Your room key at the pizza shop at the front of the building nets you a 10% discount.  * And finally, there's a nighttime noise curfew in the building, so there won't be any wild parties going on. read more

Boardwalk Terrace was great. We were surprised after reading so many poor reviews. The view was fabulous and it was VERY convenient being above the boardwalk right next to the beach! Now this isn't 5 stars - but you are paying for location. Everything in the room was clean. Reviews said to bring dishes so we did but we were pleased to find that the kitchen was stocked. silverware, pans, dishes, toaster, blender. and even a small coffee maker. The shower wasn't the nicest (but again, paying for location). I only wish that there was stair access from the balcony down and that the patio furniture was taller for people watching. Other than that it got the job done and did what we needed it to. :) read more

If anyone writes a good review, they were paid by management, because this place was dirty...the manager refuses to help to get any type of service. Don't stay here..... read more

I love going to ocean city but i regret choosing to stay here. I literally left the next day after sleeping here waste of money and a scam too. I got there early because my check in was at 1pm I even got called a month early to confirm my stay and they said my check in was at 1pm. The day I get there this rude lady on the phone said I would have to pay $60 extra because check in is at 4pm not 1pm so I had to pay the extra $60. I get inside the place is just dirty, the beds had crumbs and sand they don't wash the bedding, pubic hair on the bathroom floor and toilet, all the drains were clogged I didn't even wanna wash dishes or shower there, and I was getting a ocean view but got the view of a parking lot like what. The pictures are so photoshopped. And the cleaning lady's I feel so bad for them I saw there cleaning supplies and I see why nothing is cleaned there literally dollar tree brooms and mops. So disgusted. read more

Terrible people and terrible building and if I'm being 100% honest the place should be torn down! Don't stay here! While I didn't want to deal with the hassle of finding a new place nor fight for the $1500.00 we paid for 3 nights I wish I had! Seemed like decent people in the beginning, not so much when a problem occurred! First off walking up 4 flights of stairs that felt like you may fall through at any moment put me on edge right off the start! The owner told us we would need to "man handle" the balcony door because it had broke! Oh it broke alright! No handle and the handle probably broke because it doesn't open or close properly! Barely latches to lock! Heater/air conditioning vents have mold as well as walls and ceilings near doors and windows as well as bathrooms! Looked as though the place is cleaned in between stays but nothing like most places I've ever stayed! Railings on beachfront deck were broken which made it hard to enjoy with children as one slip of a lean and I was scared someone would go overboard! As well as spots on patio feeling like there so soft you may end up under your balcony and on the next level downs! Patios had screen doors however no screens in them! I tried to see past this until the last night and it poured out side only to wake up and find a puddle all in the hallway l ReeRee adding into the bathroom! But even worse we packed some of our luggage the night before except what we needed or anything valuable that I didn't want in our vehicles overnight because we new that the weather was going to be nasty and didn't want to pack in the rain! Well I packed and my belongings "13 people" was put in that hallway to be brought right out in the morning! My clothes and bags can be washed of course a headache but it can be fixed! However my sons computer and Nintendo switch cannot! The owner Said he was sorry but nothing he could do! So I will fight my fight and not stop until I see justice! However as a decent human being I would never put someone in this predicament! The owner tried to deny the leak screamed at me! Told me I was shit because I am from New York! And said I'm lying about the leak as well as the bucket that I put under the leak to help him out! After I had to clean it at 6:30 am! I heard him multiple times say people need to do better and be better! Well Mr. you need to do better! And you definitely need to be better! -A genuine New Yorker! read more

Cons: You look @ the award-winning pictures & think this property is on the boardwalk. Guaranteed, you're thinking the ocean is right outside your window. However, looks can be deceiving... 1) Warning: These are NOT hotel rooms. They are apartments in houses. 2) Amenities are few/minimal. No wifi. A limited selection of satellite TV viewing. Bring your own towels, bedsheets, paper goods, soaps, shampoos, detergents, etc. Bring 'ALL' your own personal comforts & items during your stay. The air-conditioning is aged & in windows. 3) Unless booking strictly, 'Ocean-front', these apts. are in different locations/properties/apartment buildings. The pics online are for a facility called, 'Boardwalk Terrace', a real place, but 80% (4 out of 5) of the owner's properties are NOT as the pics imply. Totally different locations w/in Ocean City and 'DEFINITELY NOT' on the boardwalk. Even the 'partial-view' apartment pics were NOT taken from our balcony. This apartment & its actual balcony view is several several houses away from the boardwalk. Honestly, its view is hardly worthy mentioning. Note: Our room is 2nd to the best!! 4) The pics imply that the balconies are private. They are NOT. This is a problem if you are concerned about safety, security, & privacy. Unfortunately, we had to share ours w/ four young, rambunctious, party-loving men who drank day & night. Looks as if they never left their apartment. Between the door-slamming & the non-stop noise from our neighbors, it was bedlam. Seeing beer cans & drinks everywhere was bad enough. But, maneuvering around flip flops in order to get to our apt. door as well as looking @ wet soiled clothes & towels hanging over our shared banisters made the majority of our week's stay a visual nightmare. Renters Beware!! __________________________________________________________ Pros: If owners didn't lie or deceive, apt. has positives. Walking distance to boardwalk, takes pets, has kitchenette/refrigerator, & owners non-intrusive. Apartment very clean. - Stayed in September 2018 read more

I was getting relax from the beach but the thing I cannot listen music how f... can be possible! The way that the manager ask to stop was really bad, try to see another opción before to pick them read more

**BEWARE** **TERRIBLE PEOPLE** We booked the apartment on Orbitz because of the location and the pictures it showed us on the site. We quickly realized that it was nothing like the pictures shown. We thought we would still give it a shot. Soon after being inside the apartment my wife started getting bites from fleas inside the apartment. Also the door to the hallway wouldn't completely lock. It was easily pushed open while in the lock position. The balcony door was so rusted that the lock mechanism wouldn't budge. The secondary lock was a bent piece of aluminum that hardly fit. We called the manager to meet with him about these issues. When we did talk to him he laughed and said these were not real concerns and that we were trying to get something for free. We asked to cancel 2 of the 3 nights that we planned to stay, in which became hostile and physical forcing us to call the local police for help. *please don't go through what we did* read more

This place is a scam!!! We booked this place through booking.com and the owner didn't mention the ongoing construction next to his property. He also didn't mention that we should have brought our own toilet paper and towels (for $120 a night you can at least expect towels). Once we arrived (we have already paid online) we were very concerned about the noise caused by the renovation. Even other hotel guests confirmed the noise. The owner (Greek guy) was very rude once we decided not to stay at his place. Saying that it's not his fault whatsoever and even threatening us with court (yes he is obviously crazy). He also charged us an additional $60 booking.com fee that booking.com charged him. DON'T STAY there! The reviews were good on booking.com but this place is a nightmare! read more

AWFUL PEOPLE!! Booked a room, drove into town and called at 11pm just to be SCREAMED AT and hung up on TWICE! Had to find another hotel because there was NO ONE THERE TO LET US IN! Don't trust these people. There are too many other awesome places to stay in OC. read more

Very poor accommodations owner is rude and tries to take advantage of vacationing families apartment is besides brass balls bar which is okay but apartment is a complete disaster to live in for a week with small children owner is a rude owner and poor business man read more

Accidently parked in one of his places while checking into the hotel next door. He came in and cussed the manager of our hotel out. We tried to move the car, but he was blocking it physically so he could try and get us towed. Even tried to get one of his customers to park behind me so I couldn't get out. Got out, but almost ran over him in the process. Would never recommend doing business with these people, they are NUTS! read more

We booked a unit for the wrong date accidentally and had to deal with the owners to get our money back. It was the worst EVER. They are rude and did nothing but yell and tell me they don't care about my problems. They signed the waiver that stated they owe $50 if I cancel and they didn't want to honor that. I WOULD NEVER STAY FOR THESE 2 OWNERS. They were beyond rude and offensive when talking to them. They should never own a company and they should never be given any money for their service. read more

We booked through Orbitz and tried to email and call to see what things we needed to bring such as linens etc. We arrived and tried to check in and were told there was no room waiting due to the building having no power or sewer due to construction. They tried to substitute another place, NOT on the boardwalk. We agreed until we got in it. This place, while clean, was not what we had seen advertised. The steps were frightening to walk up and felt like should have collapsed years ago. When we went to get our reservation cancelled she was pissed but a gentleman(assuming owner) just said to refund it. We drove by where we had originally reserved, lights on with no apparent issues. When we asked why the management Company why they didnt call us to tell us there was a problem, they said they wanted to see what we said about it first!!! They knew!! Horrible service!! read more

Booked through booking.com and needed to cancel less than 12 hours after booking due to unforeseen circumstances. Both myself and booking.com tried to get a refund for me (we paid $400 deposit for first night). Spoke to both owners. Husband was very dismissive and ended up just passing me along to his wife who refused to refund any money under the circumstances and quick cancellation. We booked during peak season and they easily will rebook that same room and get money for it. They are rude and inconsiderate and from all the reviews I just read after this experience I am happy we won't be giving them more than a waste of $400. My advice: STEAR CLEAR! These owners clearly do NOT care about anyone else but getting money into their pocket, no matter how unethical it may be. read more

The pictures were misleading, the rooms looked much bigger and it appeared that the decks were private in the pictures but the room was actually a lot smaller and the decks were not private. The railing is dry rotted and if someone leans on it, they will fall and it will collapse. The cleanliness was not to my standards, I had to sanitize everything before using. The blinds in the bedroom are broken. The screen door does not lock, had to use the metal pole to secure shut. The hot water is basically non existant and the water pressure is non existant. Furniture is broken and needs replaced/fixed. There was mold on the painting in the hallway outside of the room. The outlets in the bedroom near the dresser are loose, you can't plug more than one thing in at a time. They overbooked/mixed up the rooms with our inlaws, both of us were supposed to have ocean front rooms. They gave them an alley view and the cleanliness was even worse in that room and there wasn't a towel bar. The people in the room next to us said that they had broken windows and the glass was still in the window broken. We picked up and paid for our keys before seeing the place, the owner of course said that the rooms were big and nice and we had the best one in the whole building. It's kind of scary to think of what that means was wrong with the other rooms. Also my receipt said I should have been charged 429 and some change on the day of the check-in but they charged me 440 and some change. I'm very VERY disappointed in wasting money on this room, I will never come back and I do not recommend this to anyone I know. I would gladly have paid the extra money to stay in a nicer, more comfortable and cleaner room where they didn't over book us or falsely advertise how nice the room is. It's a shame the pictures are so misleading. Also my back and shoulder are hating me right now because of the old springy mattress, and don't think sleeping on the couch is much better because that is uncomfortable too. There are not enough picture slots to show everyone what they are really paying for. If it weren't impossible to find vacancies during cruising week, I would have left this place and found much better and just ate the loss of the deposit. read more

we read reviews and all them said it was perfect, the beach view was good and good quality stuff but to our surprise, it was horrible! the quality of the house and the furniture/kitchen is very dated and ugly. I would suggest not coming here if you want amenities. they do not provide paper products, towels, and sheets. we will not be staying here again. oh and there is constant banging because they are building a house, if you knew that was going on DO NOT PUT US IN THIS HOUSE. read more

This place is TRASH and the owners don't care about anything but locking down your money. The apartment is filthy and needs to be shut down as it is a health risk! We travel a lot and we can say this is the worst place we stayed in and customer service we have experienced. read more

Both the owner and the wife came to the apartment we were renting multiple times, the first to show yell at me and my parking (he yelled: "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING?" When I was confused about his parking instructions), second- we had friends also in ocean city over for dinner and the wife came and kicked them all out and claimed the contract said that we couldn't have guests, when we said we never read that she said "IM THE OWNER I MAKE THE RULES NOT THE TENANTS." The third as we were packing and leaving and cleaning up. The two owners are INCREDIBLY rude to us- cussing us out, cursing the neighbors out, anyone in their way would get screamed at. The group that I was with and I were nothing but respectful- calling them sir and ma'am and trying to be respectful of what they were asking. They told us to "get the fuck out" multiple times and said they should have kicked us out sooner (this was while we were in the process of cleaning up and packing our cars, so there was some trash not cleaned up just yet). Honestly, I could write a novel on our experience with these two. The neighbors said they would call the police on the owners so I hope they did. I didn't stay around long enough to find out. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! read more

Beautiful apartment-style rooms with great ocean/boardwalk view. The price was great, also. Owner was very friendly and helpful. 10/10 would stay again. read more

I don't even know where to start with this place. The maximum occupancy for this place is 8, so we had 8 people going. The total cost was over $3,800 which is EXTREMELY overpriced. When booking, we were told we would have four beds and a pull out couch. We arrive, there's only three beds and a small couch. There's two and a half rooms in the whole place. We were told there would be no need to bring cups, forks, spoons etc because they would be provided. There were only about 3 of each provided, it was great when we tried eating dinner. The refrigerator leaked, security knocks on your door four times a night when just trying to have a normal toned conversation, you'll NEVER get your deposit back, the fuses blew out multiple times, maintenance had to go out the window and onto the roof in one of the bedrooms so we had to keep leaving him in and out of our place...at least 5 times. The neighbors were so noisy and we couldn't sleep. There were flies everywhere, especially in the bathroom. There were cigarette butts all through the stairwell and the hallway. Please, don't stay here. I promise you can find a much more decent place that's less expensive too. read more
