2-star beachside inn with free parking and beach tags in Ocean City
Amenities & Facilities
The Cove offers an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas, open seasonally. Free off-street parking is available in the hotel's own lot, a rare find in Ocean City. Beach tags are included for guests who book directly, saving the daily purchase fee.
Rooms & Suites
All 27 rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, and heating, with family rooms that sleep up to six. Each room has been renovated with carpet-free floors, walk-in showers, and a mini-fridge and microwave. Guests can use the Keurig coffee maker in the lobby, with cups provided free of charge.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel is located two blocks from the Ocean City boardwalk and beach, accessible by a three-minute walk. This quiet part of town ensures a restful night, while remaining close to shops and restaurants. Auggie's breakfast spot is a few blocks away, and an ice cream shop sits next door.
Family & Group Offerings
Family rooms are available, including double queen rooms and a two-bedroom suite with two full bathrooms. The front porch with tables, chairs, and sofas provides a shared space for groups to gather. Free beach tags for direct bookings reduce the per-person cost for families.
Guest Services & Comfort
Express check-in and check-out are offered, with staff available by text or in person during office hours. The shared lounge/TV area and picnic area on the sun terrace add communal relaxation spots. CCTV cameras operate in common areas and outside for security.
Amenities: Outdoor pool, front porch with seating, free coffee
“The hospitality here is genuinely warm, with a welcoming feel that balances a comfortable, lived-in atmosphere against recent, impressive renovations. Its location truly shines, placing you steps from the beach and boardwalk while maintaining a peaceful quiet. You'll find yourself drawn to the large front porch, a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the surroundings.”
