Review for 120 Pine Tree Rd, Ocean City, MD
The best thing about this property is its location. Walking distance to the beach, Northside Park, Food and drink was what we were after.
The property condition however, left quite a bit to be desired. And I am doubtful this property would pass inspection to earn an Occupancy Permit from the County. Vacasa should think twice about representing this property. Among the issues we encountered:
• There were multiple outlets and switches literally hanging out of the wall – including in a bedroom obviously intended for children (the one with the bunk bed), and another right next to the kitchen sink – these are obvious code violations, that will be reported to the County.
• The floor looked fairly new but was very much like the ocean – very wavy (as in NOT FLAT OR LEVEL…….AT ALL). Multiple places are trip hazards, and I could see an elderly person being at risk just walking around this place.
• There are no windows in this property. Window sashes have been removed and replaced with storm windows both inside and out. It’s no wonder the AC doesn’t cool the place when it’s hot outside. Also a possible code violation.
• Wall hangings are not actually hung. Two different things fell off the wall while we were there. One landed softly – and I hung it back up – but it was just a screw in the wall supporting the frame – no hook, no wire. The other I brushed up against and caught before it hit the floor. I didn’t hang it back up because it had obviously hit the floor and broken before we got there. And again – no hanging wire or hook to actually keep it on the wall. I put it under the TV.
• Why provide an iron but no ironing board?
• Ants on the kitchen counter were relentless. Delivering extra ant bait/traps during our stay was appreciated – but really an unacceptable condition.
• Doors throughout the space were not properly hung. Both Bedroom doors would not latch without forcefully pulling them closed. The MBR bathroom door could only be closed by forcing it shut.
• The front bedroom has a day bed/bunk bed with drawers underneath. Unfortunately, the bed is set right over the only vent in the room so there is no airflow in this room making it very uncomfortable.
• I noticed about ½ way through our stay that the ceramic planter on the coffee table was cracked. We never touched it or moved it during our stay.
• There was no welcome or instruction document in the space sharing info about local amenities or when trash
