My family and I stayed at the Thunderbird for the first time this summer. We had an awesome vacation! Mike (the owner) was extremely helpful and nice. The condo was exactly as explained...and beautiful! No unexpected surprises when we arrived. There was plenty of space for all 10 of us. The pool is very nice, clean, and not overly crowded. The Thunderbird was a short distance from the boardwalk and beach. We would suggest this condo to our friends and family and will book it again if we are back in Wildwood!

The Van Horn home in North Wildwood is very conveniently situated. It is only 1 block from the boardwalk. The home has all the features you could want--4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, huge living room/dining room, 2 decks. The garage easily fit our minivan and SUV. We watched fireworks from the back deck, and our kids enjoyed the swimming pool. We highly recommend this property.

My family and I have stayed at the townhouse for the last two summers at the end of August/beginning of September. There is ample room for all of my siblings, our children and spouses. The place is clean and the amentites and furnishings are great for families. The living room space and balconies are great places for socializing. The location is so close to both the boardwalk and the beach. It's great to take the kids to the beach for a few hours and then to come home to play in the pool. The owner Mike was very easy to work with and called to check on our stay each time on the first day. The addition of bikes gave us even more to do. I know my family and I can't wait to reserve again for next year.

Hats off to the Van Horn family for providing a wonderful vacation home in Wildwood. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely place to stay. It was nice being so close to the beach, and having the pool was a great addition. The house was meticulous, and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony (front and back) in the evening. It was definitely the nicest shore house we have ever stayed at! Can't wait to go back again!

My family and I were overall very happy with this rental; very close walk to beach and boardwalk, hose in the 2 car garage to rinse the sand off of everyone and everything afterwards, terrific pool and jacuzzi, lovely furnishings and very comfortable beds. Having the half bath on the main floor was very convenient, and we were happy to have a washer and dryer off the kitchen, too. If you have small children take note there are two steep staircases in the unit. One gate was left for us but you might want to bring another. We had to block both sets with furniture each day to keep our 12 month climber off of them. I would have preferred a bed in the downstairs room instead of a pullout, but we put our small grandkids on it and we managed. We were disappointed that the prior tenant had disabled the wireless modem, but a plug in connection was available for our use so we made do with it. The house was very clean and well maintained and I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

My family and I stayed at the Van Horn's beautiful home for vacation. It was like staying at a tropical resort in North Wildwood. The owner's were very helpful and left us many"extras" that one would'nt expect to find in a rental property like bikes, pool toys, and video gaming systems. My family will definitely be back next year. Thanks Mike and Family

Wonderful Vacation

This is our second year staying at this townhouse. The location is excellent. We hardly ever got in our car. The house is great and has everything you need. I especially enjoyed taking a bike ride each day. This was a big savings, not having to rent bikes!! I also like that you can enter the townhouse through the garage. Most of the other properties in the Thunderbird require that you enter through the downstairs bedroom, which could be inconvenient. The owner is friendly and helpful with suggestions. He is also quick to return your deposit. We will definitely be back!

What is there to say that hasn't already been said? The Van Horn home totally blew us away. From the moment we walked into the foyer it was home! Great location. Easy access to everything. There was plenty of room for two families to comfortably dine and sleep. Everything was perfect, perfect, perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back again next year.

Happy Place

We have been to 2305 for two years in a row and it has become our "happy place". The pool and hot tub are so relaxing....the lady who takes care of the pool is sweet, be sure to strike up a conversation with her! The townhouse is lovely and makes you want to come home and redecorate a bit. I would love nothing more than to do my dishes every day with the view from the kitchen. Thanks for everything!

My family and I have been meeting each summer in North Wildwood for years and the Van Horn house was hands down the best place we've stayed in. The decor' and amenities made us feel at home. We look forward to renting again. Thanks, Van Horns.

What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? Great location (one block from the boardwalk), beautiful complex, spotless condo and the most friendly and helpful owners you could ask for. My family (5 adults and 2 childred (8 &6)) stayed here from August 8th to August 15th and had the most fantastic vacation you could ask for. Since this was our first trip to the Wildwoods, we asked for restaurant recommendations from Mike (the owner) and he came through once again. The condo had more than enough room for the whole family and the pool and hot tub were immaculate. Thanks Mike for providing such a wonderful rental unit. I highly recommend this unit if you decide to stay in North Wildwood, NJ...just leave a week for me!!!

My family and my sister's family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this townhouse! We actually stayed at a different unit in the same complex two years ago. Because we loved being so close to the beach/boardwalk, enjoyed the pool and HUGE hottub, and were impressed with the complex itself, I looked to stay in the Thunderbird again this year when it was time to make our vacation plans! However, we found this unit to be even better than the one we stayed in previously! The ground floor offered a different layout with a private bedroom and bathroom suite, the dining and living areas each allowed plenty of seating for the ten of us, and there were enough TVs to keep everyone happy! The owners even provided many unexpected amenities, such as a Wii, a selection of movies, and keypad locks for both the garage and front door. (Everyone (even our older kids) could come and go as their plans needed, without the hassle of wondering who had a key or who may have misplaced their key!) The kitchen included everything we needed and made cooking for a group with 5 kids a breeze (we ate most of our meals at the house rather than a restaurant). And, for those of you who value "customer service," I found Mike, the owner, to be great to work with. All the communication (email and US Mail) in the months prior and the days after our stay was unbelievably prompt and helpful. I especially appreciated his phone call the day after we arrived in Wildwood--he called just to make sure that everything was as we expected and to answer any questions or concerns that we had! From start to finish, we enjoyed a wonderful vacation in a delightful vacation home!

Dear Mike, We had a wonderful vacation in the Vanhorn Townhouse!!!!! We have vacationed in wildwood for many years but nothing can compare to this. The weather was just gorgeous for us.This Townhouse is beautifully furnished.It accommodated us all with all of the spacious bedrooms.The pictures online do not do this townhouse justice from the landscaping outdoors to the pool and heated Jacuzzi the decor all throughout the house, you are made to feel on vacation and very relaxed. The large deck in front was just perfect for eating and just relaxing with the family and also the deck in the back is perfect to watch the children swimming.The Vanhorn family truly thought of everything to make sure you had the best vacation. Our family has vacationed for many generations in the wildwood and this was by far the best accommodations we've had. The house is within 1 Block of walking distance to boardwalk and the beach where you can access a ramp to have a few walking steps to the beach.It is close to all Restaurants and a shopping center with a supermarket. And, its in an awesome location to Morey's Pier where all the rides are located. A great choice if you're looking for a great vacation home! Supplying all the "extras" is unique. I never rented a house where I didn't have to bring everything. All you need is your linens and clothing Thanks Barbra!!!!
