From the reviews
I have not once walked into a hotel in Ocean City Maryland where I have not had to personally clean first in order to feel "comfortable". I called to ask if we could have sheets for the pull out couch later in the evening and instead of having to go personally get them, they delivered them to my door.
Absolutely loved our stay at Princess Bayside Beach Hotel! The bay view from the balcony was stunning, especially during sunset. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect—quiet yet close to the beach, restaurants, and attractions.
I love the location and private beach was nice,clean and convenient especially with children. The rooms was clean and bed were comfortable. The bathroom was also cleans . We had a suit w/ a pull out couch and small kitchen with a stove. We didn't use it bc we enjoyed the area.
I was there with my gf over the weekend for the st. Patrick’s day parade. Hotel is directly on the route. Bayfront rooms are great with a nice view. There was so many people, felt like summer. I’d stay again for sure.
Getting married at Princess Bayside Beach Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
