“Just north of Ocean City, this spot provides a quieter beach experience, yet puts you within walking distance of dining and attractions. Every room comes equipped with a kitchenette and balcony, which is a real find at this price point. I particularly appreciate the option to rent kayaks right on site, making the bay easily accessible.”
