[quote=Anonymous]Local MD Beaches - the last week of August is the cheapest because MD schools are back in session before labor day. Rates go down significantly.  Also, the early weeks of June in case your kids are out from school then. But then you might also run into high school kids celebrating beach week.

Hotels at local MD beaches - look for clean.  Almost all are old that are located on the beach or ocean block. 70's decor is standard. They really are fine and work for a few days at the beach.  There are a couple of higher end hotels but they cost quite a bit in.  Newer hotels and renovated hotel chains are not normally on the beach or close by and require a drive or a walk. It's something to factor in when you have young kids and lots of junk. We prefer to stay at the clean, old decor place that is right on the beach.

Condo rental - it's a good deal if you can get another family to go in on it. Otherwise for one family of 4 or less, the hotel option works better. You can email a few realtors and ask if they have any rentals in a certain price range and/or for "mini weeks"- 4 days, 3 nights.

Before renting any place, look at a map of the area to determine how far it is from the beach (ask how many blocks walk and if you must cross a major road) and also ask if parking is included, if it's on sight and how many spaces. You would be surprised as sometimes it's street parking or in a lot that you have to walk to.
