Fountainhead Towers Ocean City MD Vacation Rentals
Direct oceanfront condos at 116th Street in North Ocean City, from 1-bedroom getaways to 6-bedroom layouts for up to 14 guests. A seasonal outdoor pool and tennis courts sit on a beachfront courtyard, and many units have separate ocean and bay balconies.
Quick Overview
Fountainhead Towers is a 159-unit oceanfront tower at 116th Street, built in 1973 and rising 17 stories. Floor plans run from 1 to 6 bedrooms, including two-story penthouses, so the building works for a couple's getaway or a large multigenerational trip. With 159 units, groups can also book several condos together for reunions.
Many units have a den that converts to a second bedroom, and a large share have two balconies: one facing the ocean for sunrise and one facing the bay for sunset. The building has a seasonal outdoor pool, tennis courts, elevators to every floor, an outside shower, and a gas grill you can rent for cookouts. The beach is steps away, Pizza Tugos is across Coastal Highway, and Gold Coast Mall is a block south. Parking is off-street and registered at check-in; the building registration fee covers one spot, and additional parking costs extra. Central Reservations has no office in the building, but the team at 6200 Coastal Highway supports guests throughout the stay.

Fountainhead Towers Amenities and Features
About the Building
Fountainhead Towers went up in 1973, in the part of North Ocean City where most of the town's high-rises stand. Many of its one- and two-bedroom condos run a little over 800 square feet. They have a balcony on each side, and the two views change through the day: sunrise over the Atlantic from one, sunset over the bay from the other.
The beachfront courtyard with the pool and tennis courts is where the building's life happens, and it feels more like a neighborhood than a tower. Gold Coast Mall is a block away, with Northside Park a short distance north on the bay. You can handle meals and errands on foot, then retreat to a building that stays quieter than its size suggests.

Our Local Insights on Fountainhead Towers
Booking Timing
Larger units book up by February and 2-bedrooms by May. One-bedrooms stay available through July, typically booking about a month ahead, so smaller groups have the most flexibility.
View Orientation
Many units have an ocean balcony for sunrise and a separate west-facing balcony toward the bay for sunset. Orientation still varies by stack, so confirm the view before booking if it matters to you.
Rainy Day Advantage
Gold Coast Mall, Ocean City's only indoor shopping mall, is a block away and includes a Fox movie theater. Shopping and a movie make an easy rainy afternoon without a long drive.
Location Tip
With Pizza Tugos across Coastal Highway, Gold Coast Mall a block south, and Food Lion a couple of blocks north, dining and grocery runs take little driving.
