We had an amazing stay! The property was exceptionally clean, spacious, and ideal for our family. We truly felt at home and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
This is a truly lovely place that was ideal for our family. In the heart of the fun and excitement of Wildwood is a calm oasis surrounded by trees that is maintained with quality and ease. We are already talking about a return visit.
Property was advertised: clean, neat and had a lot of essentials that I could not take advantage of but were there. Host was great and responsive to all interaction.This was a business trip which I will use again and would look at it for a weekend away as well.
It’s a step up from staying in a motel for the money. The grill needs to be cleaned badly so we didn’t use it. Convenient access to ice cream, cafe, and farmers market. Probably wouldn’t rent again unless I was in a pinch.
We had a great experience! The carriage house was extremely clean, well appointed, and had everything we needed for the beach! Perfect for our family of four.
Quiet space, separate from the main house. Beach, boardwalk and restaurants all within walking distance, but far enough away so that it was peaceful at night. Great place for families and amenities were just what we needed! Can’t wait to return!
This property was beautiful, spotless and blocks from a gorgeous free beach. Parking was easy, the owners left clear instructions for everything needed and it was an absolute pleasure. Well worth paying more than the seedy motels beachfront. I’d gladly stay here again.
We had a wonderful time. The carriage house allows privacy and safety. We want to advise the owners that the wood gate at the top of the outside stairs is falling off its hinges; rusted from exposure to the elements. But we love this rental and hope to rent again in the future.
This cute cottage is well-appointed in a quiet neighborhood in Wildwood Crest. We enjoyed the location and it was close to a delightful cafe called the Jelly Fish that serves breakfast and lunch. The only downfall - and this only applies if you are a larger couple - are the beds are full size and I'm 5'5" and my husband 5'9" and we had to snuggle close to avoid rolling off the side - which I did in the middle of a hot flash! Overall, great experience!

The Carriage House was neat and clean with a fully stocked kitchen. It is walking distance to the boardwalk and some excellent restaurants. For adults, you are close to many wineries and breweries. We would have liked a dresser or storage in the second bedroom. There was no where to unpack clothes unless they were hung in the hall closet. Other than that we had a great time.
We stayed here for a week in July. Pros: The house is comfortable, cozy and well-equipped. The owner is very responsive - there was a problem with the sink one day and the owner had it fixed immediately, even though it was a holiday. The house was clean and well-kept. Cons: We didn't love the location. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, with very few restaurants/cafes within walking distance. It is a longer walk to the beach than we had realized, especially as the walk from the boardwalk to the ocean takes another 5 minutes (the beach is huge and the ocean is far out). Overall, we thought the house was great, but we wouldn't choose to stay here again - we much preferred Cape May.

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it as much as you expected. We find that the entertainment is just close enough but remains charmingly quiet.
However if you prefer Cape May Check out our other properties which are in Cape May proper at 906 Stockton Ave.
