The Indoor Pool
Heated and open all year; in summer it converts to an open-air pool on the bay deck. Posted hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
About the building
A 96-Unit Bayfront Mid-Rise Built in 2007
Makai went up in 2007 on the Isle of Wight Bay side of Coastal Highway at 42nd Street. It is a 96-unit condo building with two elevators, a sliding-door lobby entrance, its own parking lot and a set of shared amenities most midtown buildings do not have. We manage nine of the units.
Indoor Pool, Open-Air in Summer
Heated and indoor year-round; each summer it converts to an open-air pool on the bay deck. Hours and closures are set by the condo association.
Fitness Room and Sauna
Treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines, plus a sauna to warm up after a March walk on the beach.
Billiards Room
Two pool tables in their own room off the lobby. Somewhere for teenagers to go after dinner.
Two Elevators, Free Parking
Two elevators serve every floor. Parking passes come with the unit: two for the two-bedrooms, one for the efficiencies.
Our Makai units
Nine Condos, Two Layouts
Seven two-bedroom, two-bath condos that sleep six (one sleeps seven), around 850 square feet with a private balcony. Two efficiencies for a couple traveling light. Every unit is set up the same way: full kitchen, washer and dryer in the unit, linens and bath towels included.
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.
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 and sandy clothes through the wash mid-week and pack half as much.
Linens and Towels Included
Beds are made and bath towels are stocked when you arrive. Nothing to bring, nothing to rent.
Balcony on the Two-Bedrooms
Every two-bedroom has a private balcony with outdoor furniture. Bay-facing units look west over the water; street-facing units look east toward the ocean blocks.
Wifi, AC and Heat
Central air, heat for the shoulder seasons, ceiling fans and wifi in every unit.
Arrival Made Simple
Most units have self check-in with a smart lock. Our local team sends everything you need before you arrive, and we are a phone call away after hours.
Shared amenities
Downstairs at Makai
Three rooms off the lobby that make the building worth choosing over a standalone condo. The Makai condominium association runs them and sets the hours, not OCVH, so they can change for maintenance or by season.
The Fitness Room
Treadmills, ellipticals, a weight machine and free weights, with a sauna next door. The association posts both as open 24 hours.
The Billiards Room
Two full-size pool tables, bar stools and big windows, posted as open 24 hours. Rainy afternoons and after-dinner hours sorted.
Where Makai sits
What Is Nearby: Convention Center, Beach, Seacrets and the Boardwalk
Getting around. Makai is at 4201 Coastal Highway, on the bay side at 42nd Street. The beach is a block and a half east: cross at the light and walk straight down 42nd. The Route 90 bridge, the quickest way in from the west, is about a mile and a half north, and the Coastal Highway bus stops outside all day.
Eat and drink. The Dough Roller at 41st Street is next door for breakfast and pizza. On the Bay Seafood sits directly across the highway for steamed crabs. Seacrets, the bayside bar and restaurant at 49th Street, is about a third of a mile up the road, and Seacrets Distilling next door runs hour-long tours that end in its tasting room.
Things to do. The Roland E. Powell Convention Center is two blocks south at 40th Street. Jolly Roger Amusement Park is at 30th Street. The Boardwalk is roughly 3.5 miles south, a short drive or bus ride. Ocean City lifeguards are on the beach from Memorial Day weekend through mid-September.
Is Makai right for you?
Who Books Makai, and Who Should Look Elsewhere
An honest read from our local team, so you pick the right building the first time.
Convention Center Weekends
Dance competitions, cheer, trade shows: the venue is a two-block walk, and parking at the building is included, so you skip the event lot.
Families Who Want a Rainy-Day Plan
The indoor pool and billiards room mean a wet day is not a lost day. Two-bedrooms sleep six with a full kitchen.
Couples on a Budget
The two efficiencies are the least expensive way to get the same pool, gym and midtown location, with one parking pass included.
Not for Pets or Big Groups
Makai is not pet friendly, nothing here is larger than two bedrooms, and reaching the beach means crossing Coastal Highway. Guests must be 25 or older to book.
From our local team
What We Tell Guests Before They Pick a Makai Unit
The bay side is the west side: 213 and 613 have balconies over the water and get the sunsets, 308 faces north up the bay, and 112 and 611 look east over Coastal Highway, where the upper floors catch a strip of ocean horizon. The marsh at the base of the building is not open water, but it is where you will spot egrets and herons working the edge, fiddler crabs in the mud at low tide, and in late spring the horseshoe crabs that come ashore all along the coastal bays. Book early for Convention Center event weekends, when midtown fills months ahead.

Thinking About Renting Out Your Makai Condo?
We already manage nine condos in this building. Our cleaners know which elevator to take on a Saturday turnover, our maintenance people know the parking pass rules and the pool hours, 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.
