Golden Sands: Oceanfront Condos at 109th Street
About the building
A 360-Unit Oceanfront High-Rise Built in 1975
Golden Sands went up in 1975 at 10900 Coastal Highway, on the ocean side at 109th Street in North Ocean City. It is a 360-unit high-rise that runs more like a resort than a condo building: two pools, food and drink on site, courts out back, 24-hour security, multiple elevators, locker rooms and assigned parking. We manage seven of the units, from a studio up to a three-bedroom on the seventh floor.
Two Pools, Indoors and Out
An outdoor pool and sundeck facing the Atlantic, plus an indoor pool under a glass roof for a cold or rainy day. There is a kiddie pool as well.
Tiki Bar and Snack Shack
A poolside tiki bar, an ice cream shop and a sandwich shop and grill, so lunch does not mean loading everyone back into the car.
Fitness Center and Sauna
A gym with cardio machines and weights looking out at the ocean, with a sauna alongside it.
Tennis and a Game Room
Tennis courts behind the building, plus a game room with billiards and an arcade for the in-between hours.
Our Golden Sands units
Seven Condos, from a Studio to Three Bedrooms
A three-bedroom on the seventh floor that sleeps eight, three two-bedrooms on the 14th, 15th and 17th floors, two one-bedrooms, and an oceanfront studio for a couple. Every one of them looks at the water, and every one includes a parking permit, with assigned spaces June through August.
In every unit
What You Will Find When You Open the Door
The list below comes straight from our listings, so there are no surprises at check-in.
A Balcony Over the Ocean
Every unit we manage here is oceanfront with a private furnished balcony. Sunrise is the reason people rebook this building.
Full Kitchen
Stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and the dishes to cook a real dinner instead of eating out every night.
Washer and Dryer in the Unit
Run the beach towels through mid-week and pack half as much as you would for a hotel.
Linens and Towels Included
Beds are made and bath towels are stocked before you arrive, along with a starter kit of soap, paper goods and detergent.
One Parking Space Included
One parking permit comes with the condo. Spaces are assigned June through August; outside summer it is general parking. A second car can sometimes get a permit from the front desk for $20 a day.
Self Check-In
Smart locks and a local team that sends everything you need before you leave home.
Shared amenities
From the Penthouse Level to the Pool Deck
The reason people book this building instead of a standalone condo. The Golden Sands association runs these spaces and sets the hours, not OCVH, so they can change for maintenance or by season.
The Indoor Pool
Up on the penthouse level, glass-roofed and heated, so a grey day or a cool October week does not cost you the pool.
The Fitness Center
On the penthouse level: treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines along a window wall facing the water, with a sauna next door.
The Game Room
Pool tables and bar seating with the same ocean view, plus an arcade for the younger half of the family.
Where it sits
What Is Nearby: Northside Park, Gold Coast Mall and the Quiet End of the Beach
Getting around. Golden Sands is at 10900 Coastal Highway, on the ocean side at 109th Street, in what locals call uptown. The beach is directly behind the building. The Coastal Highway bus runs the length of the island and stops outside, and the Route 90 bridge is about two miles south.
Eat and drink. Ropewalk is about a mile down the road on the bay side. The uptown blocks around 109th have the everyday things a week needs: groceries, coffee, takeout, ice cream.
Things to do. Northside Park at 125th Street is the closest and the best of them: 58 acres with piers, playing fields, a playground and the Winterfest of Lights in December. Gold Coast Mall is three tenths of a mile away, the Ocean City Branch Library is two blocks off, and the Boardwalk is a bus ride or a short drive south.

Who Books Golden Sands, and Who Should Look Elsewhere
An honest read from our local team, so you pick the right building the first time.
People Who Want the Beach Behind the Building
No crossing Coastal Highway with chairs and a cooler. You walk out the back and you are on the sand.
Families Who Want a Rainy-Day Plan
Indoor pool, game room, arcade and a sauna mean a wet day is not a lost day, which is why this building books solid in June.
Two Families Travelling Together
The seventh-floor three-bedroom sleeps eight and a two-bedroom on 14 sleeps ten, so a group can split across two units in the same building.
Worth Knowing Before You Book
Golden Sands charges a $75 registration fee per stay, not per night, paid to the building and not to us, and it includes your parking permit. Guests must be 25 or older, and pets are not permitted.
From our local team
What We Tell Guests Before They Pick a Golden Sands Unit
Uptown is the quieter half of Ocean City, and 109th Street is where that starts to show. The beach here is wider and less crowded than midtown in July, the parking situation from June through August is an assigned space instead of a hunt, and Northside Park gives you somewhere to take the kids at six in the evening. The tradeoff is distance: the Boardwalk and the inlet are at the far south end of the island, so plan on the bus or the car for a night down there. Higher floors get the long view up the coast, and the units facing south look down the whole beach line.

Thinking About Renting Out Your Condo?
We already manage seven condos in this building, so our cleaners know the service elevator on a Saturday turnover, our maintenance people know how the building handles a work order, and every guest gets a local number that a person answers.
You do not need a manager with a desk in your lobby to rent your unit well. What matters is who picks up the phone on a Friday night, and who shows up when the air conditioning quits in August.
Zachary, Alex and Max will walk you through what your unit should earn and what they would change to get there.
