South Beach Ocean City MD Vacation Rentals
Direct oceanfront 3- and 4-bedroom condos right on the Ocean City Boardwalk at 7th Street, with both an indoor and outdoor pool plus a fitness room — up to 12 guests per unit. Secure, covered on-site parking means guests can park once and walk to everything Downtown has to offer.
Quick Overview
South Beach Boardwalk is a 36-unit oceanfront condo building directly on the Boardwalk at 7th Street, built in 2006 and rising seven stories — a smaller-scale option for a Downtown oceanfront property. Units run 3 to 4 bedrooms and fit up to 12 guests, suited to families and multi-generational groups; the 3-bedroom units work well for a family with kids, while the 4-bedroom units handle larger or multigenerational trips, and the building's size makes it a solid option for reunions or wedding parties booking multiple units.
Guests enter a secure building with elevator access to every floor, and both an indoor and outdoor pool plus a fitness room keep the building usable regardless of season. Some 2nd-floor oceanfront units get oversized terraces that extend right over the ground-floor shops below — a detail that's rare in a typical oceanfront stack. The beach and Boardwalk sit right at the building, with Downtown dining, shops, and attractions all within walking distance. South Beach doesn't have an on-site Central Reservations office; the team operates from Central Reservations' main office at 6200 Coastal Highway with the same local responsiveness. Parking is secure and covered on site, with some units offering keyless entry.

South Beach Amenities and Features
About the Building
South Beach Boardwalk sits directly above its own slice of the Boardwalk's retail strip — the ground floor holds shops like Wockenfuss Candies and a surf shop next door, with the second-floor units built to extend out over that rooftop, giving those residences an oversized terrace you won't find in a typical oceanfront stack. It's a small design detail that says a lot about how the building was planned: rather than just sitting on the Boardwalk, it's woven into it.
What actually separates South Beach from most of its Downtown neighbors is the combination of amenities — an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, and secure covered parking, all inside one building this close to the Boardwalk. Most buildings this far downtown pick one or two of those; South Beach has all three, which is a rare pairing this close to the action.

Where Is South Beach in Ocean City?
South Beach Boardwalk sits at 7th Street in Downtown Ocean City, directly on the Boardwalk — the busiest, most walkable part of town, running from the Inlet to the Boardwalk's northern end near 27th Street. Street parking here is metered and paid from April through October, so the building's on-site covered garage is a real advantage.
Is South Beach Right for You?
South Beach Is Best For
- Families and multi-generational groups who want real space — every unit here runs 3 or 4 bedrooms.
- Guests who want both an indoor and outdoor pool plus a fitness room, all in one building.
- Anyone who'd rather not deal with Downtown's metered street parking — South Beach has secure, covered parking on site.
- Groups planning a reunion or wedding party who want to book multiple units in the same building.
- Guests who want to be right on the Boardwalk, not just within walking distance of it.
May Not Be the Best Fit If
- Anyone traveling with a pet — South Beach doesn't allow them.
- Guests looking for a 1- or 2-bedroom unit — every unit here runs 3 or 4 bedrooms.
- Anyone who wants a quiet, secluded stay — Downtown is the busiest, most active part of Ocean City.
- Guests who want an on-site rental office — South Beach is supported remotely from CR's 62nd Street location.
Our Local Insights on South Beach
Booking Timing
South Beach books fast, thanks to its Boardwalk location and the quality of the building. Peak summer weeks are typically gone by January, and there's not much left by March — this isn't a building to wait on.
View Orientation
South Beach faces the ocean directly from its spot on the Boardwalk, so oceanfront units look straight out over the Atlantic. Standouts include the four penthouses spanning the 6th and 7th floors, and the -09 stack's wraparound balcony on the west end, which pulls in views that stretch for miles.
Rainy Day Advantage
The indoor pool and fitness room both stay usable no matter the forecast, so a rainy afternoon doesn't put much of a dent in the stay.
Location Tip
With the Boardwalk right at the building and a secure garage on site, guests can park once and do the rest of the visit on foot — a real advantage Downtown, where street parking fills up fast and requires payment in season.
