The property has more than 200 rooms and suites of varying sizes, outdoor pools with Caribbean theming, a splash area for children, mini-golf, basketball and volleyball courts, and grilling areas spread across spacious grounds with ponds and picnic pavilions.
The resort started with 60 rooms and expanded over the decades into the larger complex it is today. Its name honors Francis Scott Key, connecting it to US history, while Ocean City itself transformed from a quiet fishing town in the 20th century into a popular coastal tourist destination.
