Attention dog and cat lovers! As you may already know, most Ocean City hotels do not allow pets. Rather than leaving your pet at home consider bringing them along and making accommodations for your furry friends at the Dogtel Hotel.
Located on route 50 just 2 miles west of Ocean City the Dogtel Hotel is an easy place to stop on your way to your Ocean City hotel. I recently met with Dan, the owner of the Dogtel Hotel, along with longtime employees/dog whispers Cindy and Judy. They both stressed that you have to be cautious and safety conscious to work at the Dogtel.
“You have to be a dog whisperer. Everyone we hire has animal experience.”
They encourage you to visit your pet or even take them for the day. From May 1 - Sept 30 no pets are allowed on the beach or boardwalk in Ocean City, but there are plenty of places to take your pet for an afternoon or a whole day. Herring Creek nature park at the end of nature park drive is a short drive from the Dogtel Hotel and has a nice looping trail by the bay. Assateague Island National Seashore also allows pets on the beach and makes for a nice day trip.
The Dogtel Hotel offers two types of accommodations for dogs, Suites and Runs. The Suites are equipped with lots of space for your pet, carpeted floors, a personal bed and they resemble the look of a horse stable. The Runs are for our more adventurous pets, they are fully enclosed by chain link fence (for dogs that like to jump out of the Suites) and also come with a personal bed. Even though it’s called the Dogtel Hotel, they have an area for cats too, named “Kitty City”.
Here are some tips if you are considering the Dogtel Hotel for your pet:
Dan joked that they often have people calling to make reservations for themselves. “Unless you’re in the doghouse, we can’t help you”, he said.
The Dogtel Hotel is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this Thursday, April 5, 2012 and the OC Chamber of commerce is helping them celebrate with a ribbon cutting. Congrats to the Dogtel Hotel!
If you make a reservation at the Dogtel Hotel, mention this blog post and get $10 off your pets first night! Find out more about the Dogtel Hotel on their website or call them at 877-364-835.

How does Ocean City Golf Club stand out from the others? For starters, not only is it a yacht club but it also has TWO golf courses. Secondly, other courses don’t have Buddy Sass. It is not every day you meet a man like Sass; he has been head of the pro shop for Ocean City Golf Club for nearly 14 years. His air of confidence on the sport convinced me he was capable of answering all of the amateur-ish questions I could muster up.
As I sat and spoke with Sass about the courses he ...read more

Being an amateur to everything golf I am excited to embark on an adventure where I learn from the best about the sport. For ten weeks I will be sitting down with head professionals at golf courses surrounding the Ocean City area.

Tucked away next to the bus station on the corner of South Division and Baltimore Ave, Henry’s Hotel was built in 1895 in a time when Ocean City was deeply segregated.
It’s astounding to think there was a time when music legends like Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Count Basie and Louis Armstrong came to Ocean City, performed in major hotel ballrooms yet were not permitted to sleep in the same hotels where they performed. Instead they stayed at Henry's Hotel.
"I remember coming ...read more

There's nothing like the smell of fresh salt air. But mix in the scents of some newly laid boards and it only gets better.
The Ocean City boardwalk project is a 2 year project but the south end is already looking great. The North end is getting there too, but they still have a few streets to go.
Check out some more Ocean City boardwalk construction pics on flickr.
On the corner of S Division and Philadelphia Ave (a stone's throw from the Oceanic) there's a sweet little spot where you can enjoy the bay and take in an amazing Ocean City sunset.
