Wild Dunes Inn

Wonderful! The Wild Dunes Inn is newly renovated and under new mgmt in 2024. We called Fox Real Estate 609-399-5377 for our reservation for this year! Steps from the beach & boardwalk, near Prep’s pizza, Steel’s fudge and Playland! You will love it!

We have been coming to Ocean City in one form or another for 30 years. This year we decided to stay at the Wild Dunes since we heard the rooms were recently renovated. You can't get a better location! We walked up to Prep's Pizza (our favorite), Ocean City Coffee Co. and Playland several times each day! The beach is right there and you could see and hear the ocean from our room. We forgot our room code once and Dan from Fox Real Estate helped us out in minutes. He was so friendly and helpful! We will definitely be staying here next year.

We have stayed at Wild Dunes Inn many times before. Pros: -We went this season during Family Week where we were given vouchers for each day for breakfast at several different places in Ocean City, which was a great perk. It gave us the opportunity to try a number of different restaurants. -The room was extremely clean. -The lights in the bedroom were like charging stations with USB ports and plugs...so convenient. -There is a fridge, microwave, small stove top, small dishwasher, garbage disposal...they even have a can opener and a toaster. -The location couldn't be better. -The bed was comfortable...we didn't use the pull-out sofa bed. (note: It says that up to 6 can stay in this hotel...we thought this would be challenging but it was perfect for 3 people for sure). -It is across the street from the amusement park (pro tip: there is an entrance right next to the Impala Suites so you can get in there without having to go on the board walk...it saves you a couple of blocks and a lot of crowd weaving). Cons: -The WIFI did not work. We were told they were having issues with it and were trying to fix it, but over the course of the week, we never were able to use it in our room or even on the balcony. Although it wasn't our goal to be on devices the entire time we were in Ocean City, my daughter was finishing an online class and my husband was having some urgent issues at work...it made it extremely difficult to have to wander to other locations to get on WIFI to do these things. We will say that the management was very apologetic and offered a resolution, but it was still frustrating. -The bathroom needed some upgrading. There were cracks on the tub, the mirror was stained along the bottom, there is very little counter space in the bathroom for toiletries. It's my hope that they will work on the issues mentioned. Would we stay here again? The WIFI was such an annoyance that we would need to call first to be assured that this was fixed before staying here again.

We have been staying at the Wild Dunes for years. It was always very nice and very close to the beach. Not this year. 1) The card key system was not working at the property, we along with numerous other guests got locked out. The front desk tried to tell us we didn't know how to use the card key. 2) The building has structural issues and the town zoning has been out to review the property--take note of the structural work being done in the underground garage. 3) They now charge 2% if you pay with a credit card, this was not told to me when I booked the room directly with the property. We would've paid cash had we been advised of this. It is noted on the reservation but the print is very small and is lighter than the rest of the print. Shame on them for being sneaky. 4) We had to beg to have our room made up but on check out day housekeeping was standing outside our door watching us take our luggage out. They also did this to another room that was checking out.
