OCEAN AND FRONT VIEWS! - 17th Flr ~winter/spring deals~ INDOOR POOLS YEAR ROUND

Well Renovated 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom Condo in the Carousel! Beautiful views from the 17th floor unobstructed by other parts of the building that can block beach views if you are on the 11th floor or lower.

We also just did new floors from the front door to the Beach Side Balcony! Older (actually it was only 5 years old but not living up to our standard!) carpet and engineered wood flooring was replaced with new top of the line flooring.

Second bedroom features QUEEN, FULL and Twin (Full under Twin Pyramid bunk). Unit also has the largest hot water heater we could fit in the unit so that when the whole family comes up from the beach to go to dinner, everyone gets a hot shower, not just the first 2 people.

New Couch updated in Spring 2023! Flat screen tv in EVERY ROOM.

Bay side balcony furniture update in Spring of 2023 as well!

PERFECT FOR REMOTE WORK OR STUDIES!
Dedicated Wi-Fi with a cable modem and router in the unit just for this condo. Plus it has increased bandwidth so everyone can be online at the same time. 3x the bandwidth that the carousel shared Wi-Fi has for the whole building so when parents need to work remotely and kids need to attend classes online or everyone wants stream different movies on a rainy day you will not be lagging like the guests of other units without a dedicated connection. Then when finished with work/school there is still a lot to do in Ocean City! Visit https://ococean.com/events for the latest details on up coming events like the many St Patrick's day events this year. Or come for the amazing ocean and bay side views as you and your significant other spent Valentine's day together in romantic Ocean City. If you have never been in the off season you don't know what you are missing. With parades and other holiday season events Ocean City MD is a great location for a long weekend away from the house or even more.

Are you a first responder, front line medical worker, teacher, member of law enforcement or military looking to book during the off season? If so message me before booking for details to request an extra discount to thank you for helping keep us all safe and healthy during these crazy times!

If your kids still attend school remotely, my guests have found that with the dedicated Wi-Fi and good amount of desk space they rarely need to leave the safety of the condo for work/school from home and multiple students can study without feature of low bandwidth.

Imagine sitting on a private balcony drinking a hot beverage while watching the waves as you attend your zoom/skype/slack calls. Not a person who likes it even a little cold, then sit at the table just inside enjoying panoramic views of the ocean warm because the brand new HVAC unit does an amazing job keeping you comfortable at any temperature.

Peak Season (Mid May to end of Sept) 7 day weekly Rentals only. Rentals run Sunday to Sunday (avoid the lines for Saturday Check-in which is a huge plus!).
Off-Season (Oct to Mid May) 3 day minimum with check-in any day of the week. In the off season discounts are available for longer term rentals.

Every room in this unit has been renovated in the last 4 years. You will not be disappointed with the beds or appliances! Don't just take my word, our guest reviews are honest and from people just like yourself who have had hit and miss experiences with other rentals. Our 5 star rating is something we are very proud of and we take our guests needs extremely seriously so we maintain that score! We do a major project each year and this winter was the flooring (again). We had new engineered wood flooring that was supposed to be great for the sea and salt air, but just didn't hold up to the standards we have for our home. This is a home away from home, not a rental we are trying to get the most money out of. Each thing we put in is done based on the criteria that it is what we would have at home if we lived there full time, not what we can get the most money out of renting. So in 2023, we replaced the wood flooring that was separating with new porcelain tile from the front door to the ocean side balcony! It looks great and some of the photos show the new flooring while some still have the older carpets. If there is any question which is updated, the pictures with wall to wall carpet in the living room are the older photos.

Our goal has always been to make it look like we would want if we lived there full time. We have never cut corners on what we purchase for the condo because we believe that quality matters and good renters will want to return to somewhere they know will be great. The last thing you want to do on vacation is deal with broken or broke down appliances then try to sleep on the lumpy old mattress someone brought from their home when they got new mattresses at home (this happens far more often than you would like to think with rental homes). We budget for repairs and renovations every year. For example we had a renter report the washing machine was not spinning the laundry well so everything needed at least 2 times in the dryer to get dry in July. Instead of playing games trying to patch the problems we ordered a brand new washer and dryer which was there within 2 weeks (ok, the dryer actually took an extra 2 weeks due to back order but the old one was working great and we did have a tech there the next day to patch the washer so it would at least work for the 2 weeks needed to get the new washer delivered).

Like taking warm showers? We installed the largest hot water heater allowed by code for the condo (close to triple the capacity of standard units found in other ocean city rental condos. That means you don't have to wait 30 minutes after someone else took a shower to get warm water! We have had families of 8 come up from the beach and everyone got a hot shower (1 in each shower, 2 at a time) back to back and no complaints from the last people that they ran out of hot water. Most units still have the 25 gallon unit tucked in a corner or under a counter somewhere. With a 25 gallon unit you are lucky to get 2 maybe 3 people showered before you need to wait 30 minutes for more hot water.


Master Bedroom: King Size Bed (replaced mattress in 2019), Flat Screen TV with xfinity cable, On Suite Bathroom with new shower stall (renovated in spring of 2019). Inside bathroom is door to laundry room with extra large size washer and dryer (in unit, no need to go somewhere else). The new washer/dryer are so quiet I cannot tell if they are running without going all the way into the laundry room, so if you have lite sleeper and need to wash clothes overnight you are not going to be bothered by your overnight laundry.

Second Bedroom: Queen Size Bed, Full Size/Twin pyramid bunk bed. Small tv with Xfinity cable. Ladder to the top bunk can be easily removed and set on the top bunk if you have children and don't want them up there. Even with the 3 beds multiple guests have commented that they still have room for a pack&play for smaller children.

Second Bathroom: Renovated in 2018. New Tub, New Sink, New Floors.

New Chef's Kitchen: Renovated Spring of 2018. Granite counter tops, Soft Close Cabinets, tile backslash, All Stainless Steel Appliances, Ice Maker in freezer and under cabinet dimming lighting!
(What you would build if you wanted to renovate your own home!)

Living Room: Sofa with queen pull out. Twin cot bed which can be placed in Livingroom or foot of the bed in the master bedroom.

Brand New HVAC unit installed in Fall of 2017. Extremely COLD even during the hottest days of summer.

Look at the photos (all taken in January of 2020 and updated with new flooring in Feb 2022) and compare to any other unit!

UPDATES (06-19-2020): A bench was added at the foot of the master bed to give somewhere to sit down while getting ready if needed. Washing machine has been replaced with an updated unit. Dryer was replaced July 2020.

Please note that due to high linen rental costs, linens are not provided. Guests should bring sheets and towels. Pillows and comforters are on all beds with pillow liners and mattress covers, but not fitted sheets or pillow cases. If a guest is looking to rent linens, I can provide the contact details for a company we wanted to use, but VRBO will not let me put in an optional fee, so that guests can pick if they want to rent linens (and it was too high of a cost for me to require it with every rental)

Also note that the building charges a $50 check in fee during summer session that must be paid in cash at check in. this fee goes directly to the building and owners have no options to control or waive this fee.

Well stocked kitchen with everything one would need. Condo was very nice, but some items needed replacement such as lamp shades and shower curtain liners. The living room could use a few comfortable chairs. The owner was available to answer any questions.

Great place to stay! Look forward to booking again!
This place was clean and we love the Sunday to Sunday bookings available! It makes traveling from PA a breeze. The communication with Paul was great and he answered everything we needed (which wasn't much). The 17th floor was also nice when it came to the elevators which are usually busy... the ones to the 17th floor were less busy. The rooms, beds, kitchen, were up-to-date and very clean. The beds were comfortable for all of us including our 2 year old daughter. The Carousel is a great place with tons of amenities (ice skating, arcade, 2 swimming pools, hot tub, bounce house, corn hole, pirate ship playground, outside bar with live entertainment, bar & grill, + dine-in restraurant) We hope to book again next year with Paul!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Rizza

Host profile image
My trips to Ocean City Maryland started when I was so young I cannot remember how old I was when I started. I remember packing the whole family into my parents mini-van, following my grandfather in his wagon and stressing about leaving as early as possible because we needed to make sure we got 1 of the rare parking spaces that let you block in a second car so we had a parking space for both cars all week. I also know I was in college before I got a BED during the family beach trip each year, and that was only because I finally could rent my own place for the trip. My sister, my cousins and I were always on sleeping bags (each year there was at least 10 people in the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo). At the time we rented something that may have had 3 queen size beds between the 2 rooms and a pull out couch. We always traveled to ocean city as kids with my parents, grand parents and aunts/uncles. So when I finally saved enough to put down a down payment, we did that as a family as well. The family all takes turns each summer taking care of the upkeep and in the off season loves to come and stay/work from the property!

Year round I (Paul) manage the property and would be the primary point of contact for rental guests, but the whole family believes in karma and wants the guests to feel like they are guests in the family home, not just renters we want to get every penny out of. If a product or feature doesn't live up to our own standards for our home, why would we make our guests deal with it. If something breaks, we remember how much went into planning that one big vacation each year and we don't want a broken pipe or stove to cause someone else to miss out on a great vacation so we always try to resolve issues ASAP and often just replace with new vs trying to make someone wait for replacement parts.

Why they chose this property

We always loved ocean city as a family, and when I was little my parents always wanted a place in ocean city since we rented there EVERY SUMMER. I picked the carousel because it is top of the line as far as buildings in Ocean City condos go. With an ice rink, hotel and all the other great features, plus a full time condo office that helps the owners give guests that true onsite support experience! When looking for somewhere to stay in the off season, many of the other buildings are staffed with maybe 1 or 2 locals, the carousel is staffed full time year round. They have many conferences and often even have things like children's ice hockey tournaments! Just remember if you are coming to an event at the carousel, renting directly from an owner is FAR cheaper than the conference rate the hotel charges, and then you get a whole condo instead of small bedroom!

What makes this property unique

This is a home away from home, not a rental where every corner is cut to save a few bucks. If you want newer beds, nice kitchen pots/pans and all the features you would need to live somewhere, not just sleep and need to go out for every meal, you found the correct property! One other note is that with me you will have an owner who makes response to inquiries a priority, I try to answer most emails within an hour if during the day, and first thing the next day if over night. If you read our reviews you will see how much past guests have enjoyed great communication! We have repeat guests who come back and cook large meals like thanksgiving each year, and without complaint have always marveled at how stocked the kitchen is to cook meals you just would not think you could cook in a beach rental. We even have everything you need to steam crabs if you are really trying to take the DIY crabbing experience to the limit (but personally on vacation I prefer crab bag on 130th). We also remember all those times as a kid when I didnt get a bed, so the second bedroom is filled with a queen and full/twin pyramid bunk so everyone can get a bed (all the mattresses are also new, so you can get a good night sleep, not a lumpy hand me down rest other others brought down after they replaced the ones at their own home).

Finally, I also love that everyone can get a warm shower. I remember having to decide between going to dinner smelling like the beach or taking a cold shower after the first 2 people used all the hot water. With the unit we installed (the largest we could get) everyone gets a warm shower and there is still hot water to spare since it can keep up with the load!
