I stayed there last summer and will be back next month for a week. The units are small but has everything you need. Our unit faced the ocean. It is so close to the board walk. There is no parking unless you want to pay. You just need to drive around alittle and you will find a free place to... More

This place is dirty and small. Our key to get in the place didn't work. It was VERY hot because the air conditioner didn't work. There was a creepy old man everywhere we went. They said there was ice but we couldn't find it anywhere. It was in a good location but not a good place to stay in. This... More

. This was a wonderful place to stay. First you have to understand that these are privately owned units. Our unit although small had a nice view of the boardwalk and some of the ocean. It was clean and nicely appointed. Bathroom was small as was the entire unit. This is an older building so things were not as big... More

This place is the gateway to hell. I made reservations with my family. It is certainly not a family hotel. It would be much safer to sleep on the beach or under the boardwalk. We were very disappointed because the website is deceiving. Be warned.

Myself and a friend stayed for a weekend and rented from the landlord Bill Mich. We were surprised to see such a negative comment about him - we thought he was nice and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed as he said he was a new owner in this hotel. The room was... More

As others have mentioned, these units are individually owned. I found this rental on vrbo.com and contacted the owner for reservations, making payments through paypal. Payment and return of deposit went smoothly. This is an efficiency rental,not a full service hotel. The apartment is small and nicely decorated, as pictured. A cozy space for 1 or 2 people. Kept the... More

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the Homestead this past weekend. I was calling around last week to try and find a hotel in Ocean City that was close to the action and reasonably priced. After having about 10 hotels tell me that they have a 2-night minimum stay I talked to Beth at the Homestead. She... More

Beth, the front desk attendant, was possibly the nicest person I have met on my travels in a long time. She let my girlfriend and I check in 2 hours early, and had a bag of chocolate kisses waiting in our room for us for our anniversary. She was such a doll.
