Great Stay
Very nice condo. The home was exactly as described and sparkling clean when we arrived. Beautifully decorated with well appointed furnishing and an updated kitchen. Amazing views from every room, with large windows and balconies. The building is older, but very clean, safe and ample parking. Building attendants are pleasant and helpful. There are 2 pools, a large outdoor pool and deck along with a warm indoor pool for those nasty weather days. This condo made for an enjoyable vacation.

4th year in a row, would book again
We have stayed at the Golden Sands four years in a row and 501 was the best of the four. You can tell the owners take pride in their property. Reasonably priced and good amenities. Will book this one next year if available!

Good time, but off to a rough start.
We love Ocean City! Our family has vacationed here for many years. This condo was the first negative experience we had. We walked into a dirty space that had not been cleaned. Sand and hair everywhere, all surfaces of tables, faucets, kitchen counter, floors and carpets were dirty. We contacted. Vacasa right away and they tried to help and resolve the issue by sending someone back to clean but it wasn’t done right until the next day when the cleaning company owner came in the morning. The local manager was very helpful and apologetic so we were thankful that she was willing to help us out. Once the condo was finally clean we could unpack and settle in for a relaxing week. We enjoyed the location and the facilities at Golden Sands. We played volleyball, ping pong, pickle ball, and corn hole throughout the week! The beach was busy but our whole family enjoyed the view and spending time on the beach during the week. The cleaning issue was unfortunate. Only other cons to this property was the old and uncomfortable living room furniture and some of the beds were also not comfortable for sleeping. Two queen beds had recently been replaced and those were fine. Note from the owners assured that new living room furniture had been ordered so maybe it will be replaced soon. Plan on brining paper supplies, any cleaning supplies you may need, and garbage bags as the starter kit that was left did not last long. Dryer stopped working a few days before we left also. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay in OCMD! We would return to the Golden Sands but would choose a different unit and ask about the cleaning company next time.
