The Flanders Hotel is the location of our reception and the wedding will take place on the beach in front of it. It is an extremely nice, long-stay style hotel that I would recommend to anyone, but by the same measure no one should feel compelled to stay there.
Ocean City offers a very wide selection of housing options and as it's quite a small town, you can get around quickly and easily on foot (or maybe bike). If you prefer the personal touch of a B&B, the laid-back charm of a classic motel or want to rent a house for a family or group of friends, there are a variety of choices available. Further, the weekend of the wedding is not "high season," so rates should be very reasonable.
A selection of options are listed below, including hotels offering group discounts.

The Flanders has a number of rooms available, including modern, multi-bedroom suites. They suggest you book those early, if interested. There is a 12% discount good for any type of room in the hotel if you tell them you're with the Ross-O'Donnchadha wedding when booking. (Bonus points for proper pronunciation!)

Housing
We are working with a local real estate agent who will help find beach houses for groups interested in staying together that weekend. This may be the best option for people staying more than a night or two. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions and make sure you're comfortably located near the Flanders, the beach or whatever local fixture you prefer. Our agent is:

Bed and Breakfasts
I know there are many lovely options available but we have to recommend individuals research for themselves because we don't have any experience staying in an Ocean City B&Bs. TripAdvisor is one good place to start.
