My family of 5 loved our stay here! The condo is modern with seemingly every appliance brand new. It was very clean, bright, and had the beachy feel we love. It was decorated beautifully without any extra clutter. Attention to detail, like charging stations with multiple outlets/usb ports on the side tables, were a nice surprise. The balcony furniture was some of the most comfortable I’ve seen at a condo. The view was amazing. The building itself was very well maintained, with a wonderful outdoor pool deck too. Lorie was a wonderful, responsive, kind host. She was available to contact with any questions and concerns, and messaged during our stay to make sure everything was great. We definitely recommend Lorie and her beach condo. We will be returning for sure!

The house location is super close to the pool and bay beach, which was so nice to walk back for meals or a break when needed, instead of hauling everything. The house was great, comfortable and clean. We love sunset island, the amenities are unmatched. The hosts are very responsive if any questions need answered.

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! The photos truly don’t do it justice—everything was even more beautiful in person, from the thoughtfully chosen decor to the stunning views. As a parent of a curious 1-year-old, I really appreciated the child-friendly touches like cabinet locks and corner bumpers on the furniture. They even had a selection of adorable children’s books, which was such a sweet surprise!The bed was incredibly comfortable, the AC worked perfectly throughout our stay, and the shower had excellent water pressure and temperature. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of everything we wanted to see and do. It’s the small touches that really stood out: clearly labeled washer and dryer, laundry soap provided, plenty of towel hooks, chargers, and even ice packs in the freezer. It’s clear the hosts put a lot of thought into making this place feel like home. We couldn’t be happier with our stay and are already planning to come back!!

My family had an unexpected opportunity to get away to the beach for a few days. As luck would have it, we found this gem. Alan did a fantastic job communicating and we were so impressed with what was provided. There were kitchen & bath consumables (ample toilet paper, soaps even laundry detergent!) Our family loved eating lunch on the deck watching life happen and playing games on the large kitchen table. The walk to the beach (pretty much from the time you leave the condo) is only 3 minutes. Geographically, there is so much right within walking distance from groceries, to decent food (Sushi, pizza and more). We didn't have to hope in our van the entire time. Ultimately, if you've got a family of 4 or 5 this place should more than accommodate your needs and many of your wants!

This was a special stay for my husband and I. 1. It was our first time staying at an Airbnb. 2. It was for our 10 year wedding anniversary. 3. It was our first time in Ocean City, MD. Tom was proactively responsive with the whole process, ensuring we had what we needed. Upon arriving inside, I immediately noticed the nice coffee bar, with a Keurig, mugs, and K-cups. They have a "Welcome" packet (which Tom actually sent to us via email prior to our arrival), brochures for local stores, menus for restaurants, etc., and a sweet little "Guest Book" to sign/and it fill out. The living room was so comfy and adorably decorated. Beautiful kitchen! They really made such a great use of a small space. It didn't even feel "small." The 1.5 baths was a plus, with the powder room being right within the perfectly sized bedroom. I loved the cute pineapple, led night light on the night stand. The ocean view was amazing! It was peaceful and close to everything. Such a great experience. We'll be back!

OMG not even sure where to begin Beach Box V is a mini slice of paradise!! So many things to appreciate, booked for 4 nights, added another night night before checkout, couldn't leave. Hubby & I celebrating an anniversary, we enjoyed the extremely comfortable beds, its honestly the best sleep I've had in a long time! The decor/design is so well put together, everytime I looked I found a new favorite piece, very unique, nothing cookie cutter. Soaking tub (no jets), Beach chairs, binoculars & 5th floor balcony (seen about 10-15 🐬, my fave) to admire all OC's beauty! Great location & Hosts are so extremely helpful, didn't need them for anything other than info on restaurants, fun to do's & some real estate questions, I'm nosey & it was my 1st trip to OC. This could be my retirement zone! Assateague Islnd is a must see, National side was my fave with the horses/foals, synsets & the shells are big/beautiful! Frankford Diner (AYCE) 49.99 Snow crab legs! AVOID BUXY'S BAR/GRILL!!

We just ended our absolutely wonderful stay at Beach Box II! Tom and Melena provide everything needed for a carefree trip! The home is beautiful, and perfectly situated with a corner view of the bay, inlet, and ocean, within two short blocks of the boardwalk and beach! We especially appreciated the little details available in the home like a brita filter, first aid kit, soaps and detergents, books, games, Nintendo and Atari, rubix cube, and a strong set of binoculars that gave us a view of the Assateague horses and beyond! The kitchen is fully equipped. The pool is stunning, and literally sits on the water. And we all know how OCMD loves to make you pack your own linens (thumbs down), but those are taken care of too! Everything was super clean and the decor was lovely. Tom and Melanie were extremely communicative, and made sure we had everything needed for a smooth check-in and truly amazing stay!

Tom and Melena’s place was absolutely perfect! From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcome with great communication and thoughtful touches throughout the home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It’s clear they put a lot of care into making their guests feel at home, and it really shows. The location was convenient, peaceful, and made exploring the area so easy. I truly appreciated their hospitality and kindness—it turned what could’ve been just a stay into a memorable experience. I would 100% recommend this Airbnb to anyone, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Tom and Melena, for being such wonderful hosts!
