Units typically come fully furnished and equipped, making them move-in ready or ideal for vacation rentals. The building's design ensures that many condos benefit from cooling ocean breezes, complementing the air conditioning systems for year-round comfort.
Beachfront convenience with essential comforts
Ocean Place offers a selection of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront living experience. The outdoor pool provides a refreshing alternative to the ocean, perfect for a quick dip or leisurely swim. Elevators ensure easy access to all floors, a particularly valuable feature for a beachfront property.
Parking, often a challenge in popular beach towns, is well-addressed at Ocean Place. The building provides assigned parking spaces, with some units allocated two spots, a rarity in the area. This ample parking situation significantly eases the typical concerns associated with beach visits and daily life in a tourist destination.
Security is a priority, with 24-hour access control systems in place to ensure residents' safety and peace of mind. The building's oceanfront location means that many units offer direct beach access, an invaluable amenity for beach enthusiasts.
Inside the units, standard features include fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators and ranges, air conditioning, and heating systems to ensure year-round comfort. Many units also feature private balconies, offering personal outdoor spaces with ocean views.
The building's management maintains the property well, with recent exterior updates including new paint, railings, and insulation, demonstrating a commitment to the property's upkeep and residents' comfort.
Tranquil beaches meet convenient amenities
Ocean Place enjoys a prime location in North Ocean City, known for its peaceful atmosphere and less crowded beaches. The condominium's position at the Maryland-Delaware line offers residents the unique advantage of easy access to attractions in both states.
Northside Park, a significant recreational area, is within reach, providing additional outdoor activities beyond the beach. For everyday needs, Royal Farms, a convenient gas station and store, is just a 10-minute walk away. Grocery shopping options include Montego Bay Super Thrift, about a mile and a half from the property, and Food Lion, a short drive further.
The area caters well to shopping enthusiasts. The Village of Fenwick Shoppes, a quaint shopping center, is within a 5-minute walk. For those seeking more extensive retail therapy, Gold Coast Mall is about a 50-minute drive away, offering a wider range of stores and services.
Dining options in the vicinity are diverse. Grab & Go Taco, a seasonal favorite for quick Mexican bites, is just a 5-minute walk from Ocean Place. For those craving American classics, Five Guys is about a 15-minute walk. PrimoHoagies, known for its hearty sandwiches, is roughly a mile away, perfect for a longer stroll or a quick drive.
The neighborhood balances the serenity of beachfront living with the convenience of nearby amenities. While some services may require a short drive, the trade-off is a less congested, more relaxed beach environment. The proximity to both Ocean City, Maryland, and Fenwick Island, Delaware, expands the range of entertainment, dining, and shopping options available to residents, making Ocean Place an ideal spot for those who appreciate a quieter beach setting without sacrificing access to urban conveniences.
Beach-oriented transit with car-friendly options
Transportation in the vicinity of Ocean Place is tailored to the beach town setting, offering a mix of options that cater to both car owners and those preferring public transit. The area's layout supports a moderately walkable environment, particularly for accessing nearby beaches and immediate amenities.
Public transportation is available, with several bus stops in close proximity to Ocean Place. The Coastal HWY & 142nd Street bus stop, serviced by the Coastal Highway Beach Bus, is about a 10-minute walk from the condominium. This line is particularly useful for exploring Ocean City's attractions along the coast. Another nearby option is the De1 & S Carolina Ave stop, which connects to the Dewey / Bethany Fenwick Ocean City line, providing access to neighboring beach communities.
For more comprehensive transit connections, the 144th St Transit Center is less than a mile away, offering access to both the Coastal Highway Beach Bus and the Dewey / Bethany Fenwick Ocean City line. This transit center serves as a hub for exploring the wider Ocean City area and beyond.
While public transit is available, the area's layout and services suggest that having a car can be beneficial, especially for reaching more distant attractions or for convenient grocery shopping. Ocean Place's provision of assigned parking spaces, including two spots for some units, is a significant advantage in an area where parking can often be challenging.
For those needing air travel connections, the nearest airport is Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional, located about 34 miles away or a 55-minute drive. This proximity provides relatively convenient access for both domestic travel and visitors flying in.
Biking is a viable option for local transportation, with the area's flat terrain making it suitable for cyclists. However, dedicated bike lanes may be limited, so riders should exercise caution, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Overall, while Ocean Place offers some public transit options and is somewhat walkable for immediate needs, having a car provides the most flexibility for exploring the wider Ocean City area and accessing a broader range of amenities and attractions.
