Went “off the beaten path” for New Year getaway. We had a ranch-type room in NY building with 2 double beds, sofa, and kitchen. Outdated but clean. Did not realize that buildings are not connected and you have to walk/drive to the pool which is in Florida building. But not a big deal but Fl rooms would be more efficient in the winter to move between pool and room. On the first day we had pool almost to ourselves. Kids had lots of fun. We also received $ 25 gift card to use in pool concession stand which was much appreciated. We got ice cream and coffer and still have money left on the card. They also have movie night. We were only one family who showed up so we had the entire movie lounge to ourselves. We also did not like what they were showing and per our request it was change to another one. Again, great. I needed internet to catch on my work but it was very slow. Thankfully we had potable WIFI. So I wouldn’t count of their internet connection. May be was isolated incident. The one and only negative we experience its staying on the ground/first level. It’s an older building so you can hear everything around you. There was a family with two kids staying above us. I could here every yelling/screaming/crying/whining/ jumping/running… till late hours. We would definitely return but will request room on the second level. Also seems like would be extremely crowded during summer months. But off season seems perfect.

I live in the Ocean City area and it has become tradition for me to take my grandson and one of his friends to Francis Scott Key for an sleepover swim party for his birthday. The kids love it and so do I - the pool area is perfect for both young and not so young children. The kids are encouraged to have fun and it's not unusual for one of the lifeguards to join them in playing volleyball or water basketball when there are only a few kids in the pool. The resort itself is kept very clean and the staff is very welcoming, making suggestions of other activities to keep the kids busy. We go in December so it's usually too cold to do many of the outside activities, but during the summer there is a nice outdoor pool, basketball, putt putt area to keep everyone busy. During the evening they now have a nice family lounge area where you can watch the movie of the evening and enjoy free popcorn. Thankfully one of the recent additions to the resort is the concessions so during the winter months when the restaurant is closed you can pizza and snacks without having to leave the resort - although if you wish to there is plenty of options just across the street in the outlet mall. My grandson has had such a good time that every year when asked what kind of party he wants for his birthday he immediately says he wants to go back to the Francis Scott Key - this was our 6th year there and he never tires of it.

I have stayed here a few times and let me say I have enjoyed this resort. My Grandaughter lives in Pocomoke City and I in PA. When I come to visit I ask her if this is where she wants to stay and I get a big "OH YEAH". We have a great time here, the activitties for kids can't be beat from movie night the wildlife people that bring there birds for education and of course the pool that we spend hours at. The only negative is no microwave in the rooms that we stay in other then that we'll see you in April.

we stayed here for the first time in 2012 we stayed in one of the newly remodeled rooms and my entire family was very happy with the overall stay from all the events the splash grounds and the indoor pool. My Parents also came and stayed during the time that my family was there in separate rooms and they really enjoyed their stay as well my two children and my two nephews loved all the things available to do. There was something for the whole family to do my husband and father loved the pool bar and i found the laundry room to be very clean and convenient. We already booked our stay for 2013 in one of the cabins. We would have liked to have seen a cabin while we were there to decide on staying in one, however they were all occupied while we were there. I have heard that the cabins are not remodeled yet. I hope that they are just as nice as the renovated room that we stayed in and my extended family will be booking their room soon for their stay while we are there. hoping to make this a family vacation every year

sincerely
