Seaside Wildwood Haven: Walk to Boardwalk/Beach!

Reviews

• This is definitely a party house!

  3/5

  I'm not one to normally write reviews but just wanted to give another family with kids an honest opinion. This is clearly a party house rental. Everything inside was dirty, broken and desperately needed a paint job. The outside pool is amazing though. When we checked into the house the people before us clearly had a huge party and the poor cleaner was still there trying his best. Once he left we noticed some sheets were still dirty and not changed. There was makeup and hair all over one of the pillows. There were stains on all of the furniture. The back slider is in need of serious repair. There were ants in the master bathroom. There were holes all over the house in the walls and doors. Just beware if you are looking for a 5 star house, this is not it. If you are looking for an amazing party house then look no farther!

• Enjoyed the house

  4/5

  Overall it met our needs being a large group. The location is great and the house fit our group. We had 23 and anymore would have been a logistical challenge inside the house. Communication with the manager/owner was good. Best part is the pool but warning we had the police stop by twice in the middle of the day for a "noise complaint" which was a bit crazy as we were just swimming, no screaming or loud music. Police were very nice and said to continue on as we didn't even come close to a noise infraction. So be warned one of the neighbors has the anonymous complaint line on speed dial. Over all great for a large group to enjoy the Jersey Shore.

• Not impressed

  3/5

  Was not impressed pool did not filter properly and was dirty upon check in

  Also there was cake stuck to the wall and hair in the shower .. the house was nice but the cleaning service has to go .. one person turning this house over in 4 hours is not enough …very poorly managed .. cleaner had to come back

• decent house with a great pool

  4/5

  So I would probably give 3.5 Stars if that was an option. The house is cosmetically very nice - but as the saying goes, the put lipstick on a pig. They flipped it really cheaply and you can tell - the floors are all warped and you fell like you may fall through some of them at any given time. Things in the house don't work (one shower has cold water, the first floor A/C was spotty, and the main refrigerator and dishwasher did not work right). The home owner is not responsive at all. Don't expect her to do anything. She's basically just looking to cash in. We contacted her several times during out stay and the answer was (if we even got one) was always - i don't think i can get out there.All that being said - we really did have a great time. The house is nice and holds a lot of people (we were 16 people and we fit comfortably). The pool and back patio area is gorgeous and the pool is heated. The inside dining area is big enough for a large family. The TV's have cable. The house had WiFi but the signal was very weak - we had issues with it - so if you're coming to do work / zoom meetings I would be wary of that. Walkable to the beach, but a little bit of a hike (4 blocks, then the trek from the street down to the beach which is also long) - we are not real beach goers so it was fine for us - we mainly hung out by the pool most days. Great local restaurants also within walking distance. Awesome bakery right next door which is a blessing (and a curse for that bikini body lol). Additional info - the beds are all quite firm and the kitchen is not what I would call "well stocked" - if you plan on cooking, bring what you need. There were basic pots, pans, plates & silverware - but knives were terrible, there was no veg peeler, no strainer for pasta, etc. Linens and TP were provided. You need to bring towels, paper towels, garbage bagsWe would stay there again - it worked for our family. No home is ever going to be perfect unless its your own home - there were definitely quirks and it would have been nice if the homeowner was more responsive but overall it is a decent house with a great pool. (the pool makes the house).
