Built in 1972, The Polynesian is a 6-story, 50-unit condominium complex that offers a prime oceanfront location right on Ocean City's famous boardwalk. The building's exterior evokes a retro beach vibe, while the well-maintained interiors provide a comfortable home base for enjoying all the coastal delights just steps away. Residents can spend their days soaking up the sun on the wide stretch of sand, cooling off in the Atlantic waves, and strolling the three-mile long wooden promenade bustling with amusement park rides, arcades, shops and eateries. In the evenings, colorful sunsets paint the sky before the boardwalk comes alive with bright lights and lively crowds.
The Polynesian features studio and one-bedroom floor plans ranging from 528 to 660 square feet. The compact yet efficient layouts make the most of the space, with open living areas, full kitchens, and ample storage. Many of the units have been recently updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, new cabinetry and flooring. The star attraction is the private balconies that directly face the beach and boardwalk, offering stunning ocean views and a front row seat to the action below. Residents can start their day with coffee while watching the sunrise over the Atlantic and wind down to the sound of crashing waves in the evening breeze.
Residents have access to several on-site amenities for a hassle-free beach lifestyle. Elevators service all floors, making it easy to get to and from the sand with beach gear in tow. A parking lot behind the building provides one designated spot per unit. For those who need extra space, storage lockers are available in the basement. The Polynesian also has a coin-operated communal laundry room as an alternative to the stacked washer/dryers found in some of the units. Central air conditioning and heating keep the condos comfortable year-round, while ceiling fans offer added air circulation during the warm summer months.
Situated on the southern end of the barrier island, The Polynesian is immersed in Ocean City's vibrant beach scene. A designated landmark, the boardwalk is a hub of family-friendly attractions, including a Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other classic rides at Trimper's Amusements. Thrasher's French Fries has been an institution since 1929, serving up buckets of hand-cut spuds, while Dolles Candyland is known for its saltwater taffy and caramel popcorn. Just steps from the condo, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum showcases the history of local rescue operations. For a quieter escape, residents can head north to the serene sands of Fenwick Island State Park or explore the natural wonders of Assateague Island National Seashore, famous for its wild ponies. The area also offers numerous golf courses, fishing charters and water sports rentals.
Getting around Ocean City is a breeze, with many attractions accessible on foot or by bike via the boardwalk. For longer trips, the Coastal Highway Beach Bus stops right outside The Polynesian, providing service along the island's main thoroughfare. Residents can also hop on the bus to the West Ocean City Park and Ride to connect to routes running to the mainland. Those with cars will find municipal metered parking lots and street parking throughout town, as well as the option to purchase a long-term permit for the Park and Ride. The nearest major airport is Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport, about a 40-minute drive from the condo.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
