OC MD is pricey regardless. Anything that might be inexpensive is down right nasty. My wife and i tried going the cheap route...we changed that in hurry.

It may be cheaper to stay in the surrounding areas (Bethany, Rehobeth, Fenwick Island) which are a 10-20 minute drive to Ocean City maybe even closer....I live in lower Delaware so i visit these places pretty frequently but dont stay in hotels.

Yeah I heard of bad stories of people going the cheap route. We go there almost every summer but the place we wanna stay at this year is more then we ever paid, its a nice place right on the boardwalk and the main thing we like about this Hotel is it has a kids pool with all kinds of stuff. I have a 4 and 2 year old and I know they would have a blast in the pool.

The things we will do for our kids!

Hey HellRaiser, where in Bucks county are you? I'm in Doylestown, Buckingham to be specific off of 413 and long lane.

It's been a while since I hung out with F-body guys.... just curious where you're at.

Back to subject at hand, we stayed at a hotel that was at the northern end of the boardwalk last year but can't remember the name. It was I think 10 floors and every room had a balcony. It was pretty expensive though, over $200 a night, but it was clean and pretty nice. I saw some of the less expensive hotels and would not consider them unless it was in my drunken college years for spring break.

Let me know how you make out. I think this year we're gonna spend a week in Cape May instead. My parents live 2 miles from the beach.

I live in Telford not to far from ya.

We ended up going with the first week in September and it will save us $700. The only reason we are going with this place is because they have a killer setup for the kids otherwise we would stay at the Castle in the sand. Thats where we stayed the last 3 years and its great there we just want something a little different this time.
