Positive experience: Been doing business here for years but they seriously need to hire a competent and professional cleaning company. Our last two stays the same place was filthy. I have brought this to their attention twice. This year we arrived and there wasn't even a roll of toilet paper in the unit which was insane.
Negative experience: RENTER BEWARE – MISLEADING AMENITIES LISTING We booked a place at the Braemar in OC (Unit 912) through Vrbo, but it is managed by Century 21 New Horizon, whose office is located right below the condo building entrance. The Vrbo listing specifically stated that towels and linens were provided as part of the essential amenities. However, after booking, we discovered that the rental agreement states linens are only provided for week-long stays. This information was not clearly disclosed in the listing and feels very deceptive. Advertising amenities to secure a booking and then restricting them in the rental agreement creates a frustrating bait-and-switch experience. We spoke with a manager, Jazz, and requested either the promised linens or reimbursement for having to obtain our own. Our request was denied and escalated to the company president, Kim Looney, who informed me that the company would not be providing linens, issuing a credit, or offering any reimbursement despite the discrepancy between the listing and the rental agreement. As for the condo itself, the listing photos were limited and there were no reviews available when we booked, making it difficult to know what to expect. We requested a late check-in because we were traveling with an infant and wanted to arrive during bedtime, and the management company accommodated this by placing the keys in a lockbox, which we appreciated. Upon arrival, the thermostat was set to 78°F, so the unit was quite warm and took some time to cool down. The primary bedroom is spacious and includes a queen bed (which squeaks), an attached bathroom with a tub/shower combination, and a washer and dryer located inside the room. Families with sleeping infants may find this layout less convenient. The second bedroom is significantly smaller, with two twin beds and access to a full bathroom with a shower across the hall. None of the bedrooms have blackout curtains. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and cups. We did notice one of the cabinets wouldn’t close, likely due to a bad spring. There were extra trash bags and some partially used cleaning supplies and sponges, which appeared to have been left behind by previous guests. Be sure to bring your own paper towels and extra toilet paper, as these were not provided and availability seemed to depend on what previous guests had left behind. The patio is completely unfurnished, and no beach or pool equipment is provided, so plan to bring your own chairs, umbrellas, toys, and other essentials. Overall, for the price we paid, the value did not meet our expectations. Between the misleading amenities listing, issues with Century 21 and the lack of basic supplies, we would not choose to stay in this unit again or deal with Century 21 New Horizion.
Fantastic experience: New location in 2025. 83rd St. There is the century 21 sign out front and the sign below it says new location.
Fantastic experience: Loved it. Unit was amazing and clean. Location was awesome.
So happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see again in 2025
Fantastic experience: We had a great vacation at Braemar Condominium. This was my first time staying here and will definitely be back. The condo was very clean and had great view of the ocean.
Fantastic experience: We were very pleased with this tastefully remodeled condo. We appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked and views were excellent, both of ocean as well as bay sunsets.Glad we brought our Roku tv remotes so we could catch our favorite shows streaming. Hoping we can get back again next year.
Fantastic experience: Everyday is a great day when we are staying at 504 Even Keel. It’s clean, decorated perfectly and has a great balcony directly on Ocean Front. The property is always kept clean and updated. The kitchen provides everything needed to cook and eat. Can’t wait to see the new appliances next time. We love the picture window in the bedroom along with the walk out to the balcony and being the end unit. Parking is never a hassle and the elevator is dependable. Thank you Mr. Owner for all you did to make sure we had a new stove and despite your efforts to provide one, we wanted to stay there anyway. We appreciate your consideration for our week’s stay. You care about your rental and treat your tenants well. Century 21 New Horizon are professional and friendly. The transition to Even Keel 504 is always smooth and organized when checking in or checking out. We like dealing with them at their location at 8606 Coastal Hwy. Ocean City, MD 21842. Properties are always maintained top notch. Sincerely, Debbie and Tom Kane September 2023
Fantastic experience: Have used Century 21 New Horizon the past 2 years now. I would not book with anyone else. Their customer service is awesome!
Fantastic experience: Sea Watch was a great experience. Room was clean and everything we expected! Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: This was our 2nd consecutive year renting this condo. We love everything about it!! Great views and location. It is well-equipped and very comfortable. We will be back to Golden Surf 801 with Century 21 New Horizon next year
Fantastic experience: I stayed at a property managed by Century 21. The property was very nice and clean. It was reasonably priced and the check in/out process was great. I recommend doing business with them.
Fantastic experience: Fast, friendly and knowledgeable rental agents.
Fantastic experience: I want to thank the wonderful people at century 21 for always going above and beyond to ensure that our vacation is a wonderful one. Even after we left we discovered that one of us left a drawer full of clothes they still provided excellent service. Upon my call they retrieved the clothes and shipped them to us. In fact they responded to the situation immediately and contacted us within 10 minutes to say that items were found and safe. Now that is service! If there are any problems with rental they are always quick handle them. Thank you again for always making us feel like VIPS.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Always available. My go to whenever I’m in the area looking for a vacation rental or purchasing. Keep up the great work ladies.
Negative experience: Very disappointed with your company. You've been our property managers for 2 years and it was horrible. To reach someone from your office is next to impossible. It takes weeks for you to answer emails. You weren't doing good job and renting out the place. Its was vacant for the whole month of August despite oceanfront and excellent location. Cleaning company you are working with doesn't do their job at all. Place was filthy. On top of all that you are not covering damages to the property.
Fantastic experience: We've been using Century 21 for years. Always a good experience.
Fantastic experience: The condo that we had stayed in was not rented the week before so I asked them if it was okay for us to get in there a little earlier and they said it was okay. We actually got in there around 12:30 instead of having to wait till 3:00. We probably could have gotten in even earlier.
Negative experience: Most of the rides Were either mediocre or broken. The worst ride in the park was definitely the zombie house. It was not scary in the slightest and the ride broke while my kids were on the ride. They said the inside looked like a metal box with broken zombie robots inside. Truly a mediocre park.
Negative experience: Do not here. Condo 1209 is not what’s advertise. Not only 1209 it’s the whole place. Rooms are not cleaned. Once you walk in there are duffel bags with the linens. The floor is never swap. Then when you check out you have to put the lines back into the duffel bag and make the beds. But the comforter is never washed. Then you have to wash all dishes. They had given us 2 set of keys. On Saturday when we got there. On Sunday the key broke. So the next day I went to the front desk and she said they had to order a key. She said 2 days. We got the key on Thursday. We had to drive to pick the key us. This place is not worth. We couldn’t relax because we had to clean the whole place. Very rude staff. So don’t rent through century 21
Positive experience: Reasonable prices!
Thank you Teresa. Hope you are looking forward To your vacation.
Fantastic experience: Best rental agency in OC!!
Negative experience: The agent was not responsive to questions, and was attempting to rush me for no reason. Also hung up the phone me for no reason as I was asking a question. I would not recommend this brokerage caring for your leased property, if they can't even have a conversation.
Positive experience: We have always gone through this company. They have always given us peace of mind while staying here.
Fantastic experience: Great place to rent a condo. People are really nice and helpful
Negative experience: Non responsive to complaints and they allow kids to rent units. I would stay away if you are an owner. Use an agency that will do a better job vetting clients.
Negative experience: I’ve been coming down here for over 10 years with my parents which we book through a owner, and it’s amazing down here, but century 21 is honestly very unprofessional and just rude. I asked to speak to a manger cause I want to book a week in August 2019 and I would be legit 24 and 11months and she said that wouldn’t be a problem but I would need a letter from my employer stated I’ve been there for over a year ( which I never heard of in my life) and background checks which I have no problem with, but she said me and my girlfriend would be considered a group ( 2 people? Lol) so I told her we are getting married in July and this is our vacation and then she had the nerve to tell me I would need to bring in my marriage certificate ( how dare they!!) this was the most unprofessional conversation I’ve had booking rentals and it’s sad cause this used to be one of the best down in ocmd, but since 21 century I would say they went down hill sooooo much. Such a rude women.
Hi Alex,
I'm so sorry you felt your conversation was rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, policies throughout Ocean City and its complexes restrict group rentals to persons under the age of 25. In the vacation rental industry, a "group" is considered any number of young adults under the age of 25, even if it is just two people. For persons who are under the age of 25, CENTURY 21 New Horizon allows those rentals with proof of financial stability, which is why we request a letter from the employer and proof of line of credit (we do not perform background checks); this is a courtesy we provide for those who don't meet the minimum age requirement. We are responsible for owners' 6+ figure investment properties, and it is our priority to protect their property and interests. It is up to the owner if they will allow group rentals without the proofs of financial stability, and at this time, we do not have any owners who will allow them & we cannot violate their Agreement with us to make exceptions. The rental manager did suggest other companies you could try that may have group rental properties available, in an effort to guide you to locations that you would have better success with, as there are very few companies in Ocean City that will rent to persons under age 25. The Ocean City Chamber of Commerce website has a resource publication that also lists these locations, which you may want to check as well. We wish you the best of the luck in your search.
Negative experience: We made a reservation via the website for two nights. We received an email confirmation confirming our stay and total payment and a notice that said we would be contacted within 48 hours. We were never contacted. When I called to make payment they informed me that my reservation had been cancelled due to a 3 night minimum. I asked why the website allowed us to process as two nights which the representative could not answer. My biggest issue is that no one ever called us to tell us. Now we're left looking for a place and I will absolutely never use this company again.
Dear Becky,
First, I am terribly sorry for the experience you had with our company. I have looked into the events leading up to your reservation, and those that followed, and I am equally as disappointed in how it was handled.
I see that you booked a reservation online for 2 nights, which, as you were eventually told, does not meet our company’s minimum stay requirement. Just as you had questioned, I wanted to know why the website allowed you to book it so I looked into that as well. Each of our properties have custom-written “Booking Rules,” which tells the system and our website what the owner’s stay requirements are for specific weeks or periods of the year during which the owner accepts reservations. The property you booked is available only through the end of August (referred to as the “post-season”), and the owner requested that it be completely blocked from Sept 1 through the end of the year. That period of time was erroneously entered for only 1 week, instead of the span of several weeks. And since the owner was not keeping their rental on the market after the summer, the Booking Rules were not written for that period since it should not have been open for reservations. It is also concerning that rates were entered for this time period, even though the owner clearly indicated they would not be renting their condo during the post-season.
I see that when the reservation came in, a manager noticed the 2-night booking and looked into how it happened, at which time she noticed that the off-season block was not entered correctly. She immediately forwarded your information to a reservationist and asked that she reach out to you to apologize, and see if we could find you something for 3 days but in the same price range. Then I see that on August 1, a voicemail was received from you because your payment due date had approached and you still had not heard from anyone. This voicemail was forwarded to a reservationist and it was requested again that we look into what we can do to find you something for your stay.
I then ran our call logs to see if there were any outgoing calls made to you, and found that no calls had been made to you or a number similar to yours (in case the reservationist had mis-dialed the number), and only found the calls from when you reached out to us on August 1 and again today. To see that you were never contacted is very disappointing, and not how we strive to run our business.
While we do make mistakes, such as the post-season block being entered incorrectly, we always aim to “make it right” and do whatever we can to not make a guest be inconvenienced because of our error. I do thank you for bringing this to our attention, so that we may make the necessary changes in practice to hopefully avoid similar experiences in the future. I also would still like to offer to make this right for you, if you have not already made other plans. The condo you booked is unavailable, but we have comparable properties available and CENTURY 21 New Horizon will pay for the 3rd day of your stay, since you are only able to stay for 2 days. You are welcome to call me by dialing our office number and asking for me directly. If you have already made other plans, which I certainly understand, I offer my sincerest apologies on behalf of CENTURY 21 New Horizon and wish you a memorable and enjoyable stay in Ocean City.
Regards,
Laurie A. Murray

Fantastic experience: BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN AND CLOSE TO THE BEACH
Positive experience: This unit is a little dated and it definitely needs some cosmetic upgrades. There were places where the wallpaper was taped, the p The dryer had no lint trap in it making it unusable. The “headboard” on one of the beds in the downstairs bedroom was just sitting against the bed. It wasn’t attached at all. The decor is cute and we aren’t terribly picky, but the couches are old and looked dirty. I have stayed at the Century 1 before And I don’t mind the service elevator for beach access, but it can be a pain on check in and check out days to wait and wait for the one elevator. I would stay here again but not in this unit.
Good Morning, Gayle:
Thank you so much for your feedback on your stay at one of our rental properties at the Century I Condominium. We provide our property owners with a summary of guests’ comments at the end of the year, and we will be sure to mention these items, along with our own suggestions. We certainly understand that the service elevator for loading/unloading your luggage can sometimes be inconvenient, so this year we are encouraging some owners in the Century I building to provide alternative check-in and -out days so that the Saturday rush isn’t as cumbersome. If you’re able to adjust your stay with an arrival & departure during a different day of the week (Friday or Sunday, for example), we might be able to find something to accommodate you & your family for 2018! We hope you have a lovely holiday season, and hope to see you next summer :)
Positive experience: Great place to stay! The pool was a bit small if you come with more then one child.
Good Afternoon, Amy:
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at the beautiful Mahalo #102! We love the location of the building, and especially the spacious layout of the condo. We certainly understand the pool can get a little crowded in the peak of the summer season, though! Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Hope to see you again next year :)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful condo!! Perfect location!!
Good Afternoon, BJ:
So glad you enjoyed another stay at the Decatur House! It’s not hard to see why it’s such a popular place to stay… It’s right on the Boardwalk, but far up enough that you’re not overwhelmed with the noise from all the attractions. And of course, it’s always a perk when you don’t have to pay for parking to enjoy the Boards! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, and we hope to see you again next summer. Only 250 days away… not that we’re already counting or anything ;)
Negative experience: If you are looking for someone to manage your condo keep looking. Very disorganized. Lack communication skills.
Negative experience: Terrible - They hang up if you call close to 5PM and I have been waiting over 65 days for the return of my security deposit. There are a ton of better options in Ocean City, by far the worst experience I have ever had with a rental company.
Fantastic experience: Very willing to work with customers to ensure their happiness
