| Cape May? It would be quiet and there are hotels. |
I stayed here many years ago and really liked it. I don’t remember it being an open view of the ocean though like you’d get at Bethany/OC. There was a pool and trees in the way. What about the Hilton ocean front ocean city? |
| Florida. Opal Grand in Delray. Lots of options in Fort Lauderdale or Miami. All close to airports. |
| So many great ideas here. Thank you! I was a bit worried some trolls would roll in saying moms shouldn't take vacations alone or something like that. |

Why do people post in this hostile tone? Why not just say "Ocean City MD"? |
Just stop. |

Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach is perfect for this. Very walkable area, beautiful beach, free hotel shuttle and free trolley anywhere on the island. Delicious food onsite and nearby. Nightly turndown service with chocolates. Ahhh. They take very good care of you.
Super easy relaxing vacation, not far from DC, and no car needed. Only 25 minute Uber ride from the Tampa airport. |
Holiday Inn 39th street in tower building is nice oceanfront balcony and hotel has indoor lazy river pool. |
WTF is your problem? There are spas, restaurants, and water views. https://innatperrycabin.com/ |
| I would cosign Miami Beach along collins ave. Sitting on the balcony at the Loews literally drops my blood pressure by 20 points. |
St Michaels is really pretty in the fall. The Miles River is beautiful. |

Hyatt Regency Cambridge--I'd call and ask for rooms with best view of the Choptank.
Seafood is decent and there are local restaurants that are good in Oxford and St Michaels. I've had a good massage there. |
The OP said she wanted to look at the water. The ocean is the ocean. OC is close |
| I just love Navarre Beach, Florida. White sand and clear water. American Airlines has a direct flight from DCA to VPS—the airport about 20 minutes away. It’s like a 2 1/2 hour flight! Springhill Suites is right on the beach and while it is not a fancy resort, it is a good hotel with some good beach amenities. |
