Perfect location!

Amanda was amazing with us! We were arriving from Arizona and she was wonderfully communicative and helpful. The house is in a residential area but short walk to beach. It was also a very quiet neighborhood, which was lovely! Perfect size for three of us, might be a bit tiny had we brought our oldest kid, but we would recommend to anyone!

Cozy Crest Cottage

Amanda’s cottage is perfect for a getaway to Wildwood Crest! The location is close to the bay (for perfect sunset views) and is a 10-minute walk to the beach. The home is perfect for at-home dining. Bedrooms are a good size - perfect for the four adults during our stay. The two twin beds are great for a young family, but make sure to bring your own linens and towels. We’d definitely stay again!

Great beach house!

Great location and beautiful house! It was plenty spacious for us and our kids. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and helpful. The house is in a nice quiet street. Just a short walk to the beach and several close restaurants. Short drive to the boardwalk. Everything we needed was either a short walk or short drive away. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect vacation spot!

My family stayed at this property the end of June and we had a wonderful trip! The home was a perfect size for us and has everything you will need! The entire property was clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the owner was very responsive! The layout was perfect for us with two young children (4 and 5) and was extremely comfortable. Kitchen is very stocked with kitchenware so didnt need to worry about any of that. We would love to stay again the next time we head to the Crest. Thank you Amanda!

Nice vacation home in a pleasant neighborhood

I was very happy with the home we stayed in at Wildwood Crest. It has all the comforts of a home, it was clean and its location is great to get around. Make sure to bring your own sheets, pillow cases and blankets. I don't think that is not too much to ask. Don't you want to sleep on your own sheets, pillow cases and blankets; I do! Oh towels too!

Beautiful Home!

Our stay at this shore house was amazing! The house was so spacious, clean, the area was quiet & perfect walking distance from the beach. If we had any questions at all Amanda was quick to respond. Our vacation was so relaxing. We even enjoyed tanning in the backyard when it was too windy for the beach. The outdoor shower was also an amazing addition after sandy days on the beach. The house is stacked with all the amenities that you could need including beach necessities. Our favorite spot in the house was the porch. We will be staying here again!

Rental

Please BEWARE if you are not from the region of the country: many rentals in this area, including this rental, do NOT provide sheets, towels, bath soap, shampoo or laundry detergent, which I had not experienced in previous VRBO rentals. It's a bummer if you are not expecting it or looking for it. We missed the information in the middle of a paragraph. My oversight, but still a bummer. The rental is in a nice quiet location. Comfortable beds.

Potential to be perfect!!

Pros: Amanda is very quick to reply and helpful with booking, etc. We had never used VRBO before and in that respect she really helped things go smoothly! We had a last minute schedule change and Amanda was extremely kind and understanding and willing to work with us. The house is in a great location and on a quiet street! We felt safe and were very pleased with the location! The house is updated. We appreciated the nice refrigerator and dishwasher! The outdoor shower was also a nice addition. Cons: Overall the home looked clean upon arrival but after opening window blinds we found many dead flies and the bathroom floors had a lot of hair. Minor, but we did feel that we needed to clean the bathrooms before using. We struggled to find measuring cups, measuring spoons, a working can opener, and other basic items. If you don't plan to cook, it wouldn't be a problem at all. Lastly, when we arrived there was an ant trap at the door and 2 on the kitchen counters. We set our leftovers on the counters as we brought them in from the car. A few minutes later when we came back close to 100 ants were all over our food. We called Amanda right away and she graciously offered to refund our money and we leave, but, in the middle of summer where were we going to find a place to stay at a moments notice? She also offered to have a company come and chemically treat the ants. But as Amanda stated, she would not even personally feel comfortable with the chemical application with two young children and nor did we. We were unable to use the kitchen much at all and had to keep all food on the kitchen table away from the ants as best we could. It was a very difficult week battling the ants. At the end of the week we asked Amanda for some small compensation for the difficulty and she would not respond. We were disappointed about this because otherwise, we would have likely returned yearly!!
