Summer family trip

We had a great trip. Weather was 90 every day. The AC worked well. Outside shower and porch were great, as was the location. Would stay again. Thanks!

It really is the best porch

The description of this unique home was very accurate. No surprises. We loved the history of the home and the front rich was perfect for morning coffee, family dinners and night time relaxing! We loved that our dogs could join us on our vacation. The back yard was perfect for them. Check in was super easy and owners were helpful with questions we had prior to trip. All appliances worked well. Very spacious home. ACs kept the bedrooms and house cool during a heat wave. Garage was filled with beach chairs and bikes that were in good condition. We enjoyed morning bike rides in the boardwalk. The walk to beach was not too bad and the house is right around the corner from a delicious bakery where you can get fresh apple fritters! We even took the long walk to the boardwalk a couple nights and got lots of steps in. This is the perfect home for an old school jersey shore beach house! Highly recommend.

Wonderful place for a large family.

We just love this place! It has tons of character and lovely architectural details. It is a short walk to the beach and close to many stores. The owners are lovely people to deal with. We hope to definitely come back next year.year

Ideal family shore home!!

My husband, two sons and their families ( 4 grandchildren, ranging in age from 3 to 17), as well as three dogs rented this great home for two nights Father's Day weekend. Remarkably comfortable, well-equipped: Interesting range of games ( from Twister to Risk), superb front porch, good location. Owner very immediately responsive to two minor concerns that we discovered on check-in. This home has good bones!!! We loved this place!!

Family Vacation

The vacation rental was exactly what we needed for our family vacation. We had 8 adults and our dog and there was plenty of space for all of us. We spent most of our time either on the beach or sitting and enjoying the awesome large porch. Learning the history of the house was beautiful and to see original pieces inside was priceless. The communication between the owners was prompt. It was our first time in Wildwood Crest and thrilled to have rented this beautiful historic home.

Great time

There was some dog hair from the people before us, but overall it was very clean. The location was great for going to the beach. The porch was fantastic. We were out there every morning and every night. We discovered a great bakery around the corner from are house and went there three times for their Apple fritters they are delicious. I would highly recommend this house. Thank you again we had a great time.

The listing doesn’t do it justice

This is a beautiful historic home. Perfect for the beach and with everything that you could need in terms of deck chairs and boogie boards. We had a group of 8 (4 kids - 12, 12, 14 and 17) and the house still felt spacious. We loved the veranda and loved the outdoor shower even more. Try Rick’s seafood in N Wildwood if you’re looking for great sea food. Order the night before and eat it on the porch.

The house is located in an incredible neighborhood and is super walkable to the beach, boardwalk, and local shops. However, the house is quite old and there are a lot of quirks that come with that. If you’re expecting perfect cleanliness, modern furnishings, and comfortable beds — this is NOT the place for you. We had a lot of issues after we checked in, some were addressed by the hosts, some were not. We felt pretty disappointed overall and that’s reflected in our star ratings for different aspects. There were not enough towels or toilet paper for the amount of guests the house advertises so plan accordingly. We felt that this was a huge oversight, especially for a family vacation rental at the beach. The window units are old and incredibly loud so be aware in case you’re a light sleeper. Also, the fridge was broken upon arrival and never got fixed our entire stay. Hosts completely stopped responding on our second to last day. Not as advertised!!
Fridge temp after we arrived. The thermometer was already there and never got below 40 degrees our whole stay.

Best Porch

No exaggeration, it is a great porch. We spent many hours talking, eating, reading and just relaxing on the porch. The house is very old and dark but it has a quaint relaxing feel to it. The inside shower is an antique tube updated but the outdoor shower was so wonderful we never used the indoor one. We were close to the beach and the Boardwalk which was great with small children. Also Britton’s is right around the corner for coffee and their amazing apple fritters.

My experience at 207 East lavender Wildwood Crest New Jersey, was extraordinary, I particularly enjoyed the large beautiful wrap-around front porch, with picnic tables and BBQ Grill, and the Beautiful Golf Course like backyard was perfect for sunbathing, and the dog having plenty of room to exercise, house was Immaculate clean, with beautiful extraordinary wood work throughout the house particularly the staircase, floors walls and ceilings, I had such a wonderful time I hope I can book it again!!! I'd like to go back in September on the second Sunday if possible???

A wood-paneled gem

Yes, this house is quite old. Some of the doors scratch the floor and terribly squeak since the floors have warped. But the house has obviously been loved for many, many years. The air conditioners all worked (some are newer than others) as did the plumbing. The sinks are apparently original, but I found the double faucets really charming. The heater functions very well and the water warms quickly (whether you're using the upstairs or outdoor shower). The owners have made check-in very simple and there is so much space. We were a group of ten friends and never felt cramped (except when everyone pulled all the rocking chairs to one side of the porch). The grill was relatively easy to use, and the kitchen is absolutely stocked with grilling seasoning and other spices. We grilled, we cooked, we baked. I microwaved on lazier days. The walk to the beach is short enough (~10 minutes) that we would go and come back a couple times a day. We made good use of the coolers and chairs provided. The Wildwood Boardwalk starts nearby, there are plenty of rides and other attractions along the stretch. Some of my friends rode the bikes in the garage on the boardwalk. If you don't mind the antique look of the house, I really can't imagine a better deal.

Best of the Crest

Can’t beat the location. Massive porch. Terrific outdoor shower, private, hot water, lots of hooks, bench, great water pressure. Kitchen had everything you would need. Rooms are good sized, house is in a quiet neighborhood. We had a mini family reunion and everyone loved the house. Thank you to our hosts!

The BEST porch in Wildwood

We were three families with kids ranging from 4 to 16 years old. We enjoyed this lovely traditional shore house over a long Labor Day weekend. It is ideally situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, close to the beach, and just a short walk to the best bakery in Wildwood! We enjoyed everything about our stay here and hope to stay here again next summer!

great porch and location

This home is great for a larger group. I stayed with my brother and his family - 7 of us altogether. We used the porch for family meals and games. The garage has multiple beach chairs, bikes, boogie boards, beach combers, sand toys - all you could want! It was our 2nd stay and we hope to be back again!

As advertised the porch makes the property. The house is very old but that gives it a unique and comfortable feel. Plenty of room for the ten of us. The house could use a little work on the upstairs shower but it still did the trick. No complaints here!

Charming Older Cottage

The house looked so lovely, smelled great, looked clean. All went very well for all but one who was allergic to something in the house??? He had to sleep outside in the Jeep camper. We knew they rent to dog people and that was fine as we have dogs. If there had been cats there that could have been the issue, but who knows. Our son in law has allergy problems, but nothing as bad as this ever occurred. He loved the porch! Thanks
