Great rental right on the beach. Unit is clean, well organized, and well furnished.
My wife and I stayed with our 3 kids (10,8,2.5) and wanted the three bedrooms so that our little one could take naps in his own room. The first room in the unit worked well for this, as it is located behind the kitchen and away from the main area. Very spacious and comfortable week for our family.
Kitchen is well stocked with utensils/pans/bagel toaster/glassware/etc. and the griddle was great for cooking eggs and sausage for breakfast.
Main area is tidy and comfortable with the glass slider to the patio giving a beautiful view of the beach. Patio furniture was comfortable and nicer than most other units. Slider to the left of the patio leads to master and big glass windows combined with the patio give a gorgeous panorama view to wake up to the sunrise (shutters will not block out the morning sun in the master, so if you're not an early riser you may not like it). Patio was great to sit and enjoy a meal or take in the sights, sounds and smells of the rolling waves and birds nature provided.
The beach in front of the flying cloud was consistently the least populated, which was nice; probably due to this building being one of the smallest on the beach. 2 minutes from our your door, to down the elevator, to in the beach. Beach is immaculate and well kept. Soft sand, horseshoe crabs- lots of osprey, blackhead seagulls, heron, storks and more make for awesome bird watching.
One elevator leads up to the unit on the 5th floor and there is no real lobby, just a small waiting room with glass doors and walls on both sides to access the elevator. Bring a beach cart to carry stuff up and down the elevator because the stairwells are smaller.
20 minute drive to Assateague to see wild horses, 5-10 minute drive to boardwalk. Layton's donuts and breakfast one block over was a great place to eat. Highly recommend for families.
