Directions
From New York, take the New Jersey Turnpike south to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, then Interstate 95 south. Continue south on Delaware Route 1 to Fenwick Island. From Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis, take Route 50 east about 95 miles beyond the Bay Bridge, then take the exit for Route 90 East to Ocean City. From Norfolk, follow U.S. Route 13 North to U.S. Route 50 East near Salisbury, Maryland, then take Route 90 East to Ocean City.
“What strikes me most is its position, a sweet spot near the beach yet just removed from Ocean City's intensity. I appreciate that every room has a kitchenette and balcony, giving guests a measure of independence, and the option of kayak rentals adds to the appeal for active travelers.”
