Music Dancing Food Drinks

Cover charge can be high so get there around dinner time. Parking is in various areas but they will send golf carts around to pick you up free of charge. It’s always a fun time at Fager’s island. Lots of live music, great food and various price points, and they play America the Beautiful every day as the sun sets. The sun pics from the back of Fager’s island is one the best spots to see beautiful sunsets in all of OCMD. You won’t be disappointed by your night out at Fager’s Island. Go for the food and party and stay for the drinks and music.

It’s huge and phenomenal - and something for everyone. Highly recommend the crab toast and a drink called “a pain the a$$” (it’s frozen strawberry daiquiri and frozen piña colada. Swirled together. It’s not the cheapest drink you can find in OCMD but I promise you - you won’t be disappointed.

Great for locals and visitors. Decent food, fun environment. Check age requirement if traveling with children under 21. They normally allow children during the day. At night it turns into a bar scene. Still a lot of fun if the bar scene is something for you.

City advice

Getting around

City bus - ride all day for 3 dollars. Buses run 22 hrs.

Buses run 22 hrs. - from the inlet to the Delaware line. No need to for a designated driver or expensive Ubers - the bus will get you there. Closest stop is 94th and coastal highway.
What to pack

All summer stuff

Beach attire accepted everywhere. Sandals or flip flops are wise for the beach - the sand gets hot. Bring beach and bath towels for your stay. Don’t forget your linens. Sets of sheets required by guests: 1 king, 1 queen, 3 full. Contact host for local linen rentals if it’s easier for you - The host will provide you with a current list of companies offering beach and linen rentals. Bring pillow cases too!! Sunscreen is a must to keep you protected. Sand toys for the kids of all ages. An appetite for funnel cakes Caramel popcorn, salt water taffy and fresh seafood.
Ways to save

Check out the sunny days booklets for all season savings

Check out the sunny days booklets found in most store fronts hotels lobbies and restaurants. I try to leave current editions for the guests at the condo for you too.
Useful phrases

Learn the language.

You’re “down the shore now, Hun.” The language is the same - but different.
Travelling with kids

Strollers are welcome on the boards and busses.

Strollers are welcome on the boards and busses. For the swimmers - watch the undertow /rip tied. When there are flag warnings keep kids and adults out of the waves. They can pull you out quickly and without notice. Pay attention to high and low tides. Use sunscreen often.
Customs and culture

Disclaimers security and outdoor cameras

Unit features outdoor security cameras that are active year round. They record sound and video. They may not be turned off or tampered with. Cameras are outdoors only. They activate recording w/movement / loud sounds. We rarely monitor the devices in season but are there for both the security of the property and to protect the hosts and the guests. There is a security alarm on the property. Alarm is turned off during your stay. System monitors opened windows and doors for 5 minutes or longer will send the hosts a notification and turnoff HVAC for a period til reset
What to pack

Essentials for your trip

Remember to bring all linens, including sheets/pillow cases for 1 King, 1 queen, and 2 full beds and all bath and beach towels, wash clothes and hand towels. You will need trash bags, (tall kitchen and small bed/bath room trash cans). Most being ample supply of paper products to replenish what is left and use during your stay (paper towels, extra toilet paper, paper plates and solo cups). A small amount of dish, laundry, and body soup will be available. Most bring their own as there is no guarantee of brand or kinds that will be available during any particular rental week. Bring beach things
What to pack

Beach stuff you might want to bring

Sandals/water shoes; swim suits, beach toys (some available but limited), beach blankets that can remain outdoors and can get Sandy (please do not use any bedding from condo on the beach). Fishing gear if that’s your things, crabbing gear if that’s your thing. You will be steps from the bay - so enjoy being up close to nature.
Don't miss

Sundaes in the Park at North Side Park

Most Sundays from June 1st to Labor Day, OC holds “Sundaes in the Park” at North Side Park (124th st bayside). You will find music entertainment all afternoon, sundaes and ice cream (for purchases), and a fireworks (or laser drown) show at dark. Entrance / admission is free. First come first served for locations - remember to take beach chairs or a your beach blanket to enjoy your day.
Getting around

All paid parking is by Park Mobile in Ocean City, MD.

Highly recommend downloading the “Park Mobile” app to your phone and get acquainted to the app before you try to park down town. It’s not hard but if you are new to the app - it can be a little confusing. ALSO- it’s all done by satellite and tag readers. You will get a hefty fine and could be towed (with even higher towing and storage fees to get your vehicle back) if you attempt to park without paying for parking in advance. The app will let you add time if you end up staying longer than originally thought. Please assure you pay for your parking when going down town and enjoy your trip
Travelling with kids

Extras on TVs and Apps Will be Charged via Airbnb.

Please be sure that all guest and visitors during your stay are aware that any charges to TVs or streaming Apps will be reported and charged to you via Airbnb. The existing line up is pretty deep - and you are on vacation. :) so go enjoy the beach and the town. Please do not order extras on the TVs.
