Our third year staying here. Mary is a fabulous host, beautiful home to share and great with communication. Steps to the beach is no exaggeration. Beautiful scenery all day every day. Quiet complex and convenient to town.
My husband and I enjoyed our getaway weekend tremendously! The location was excellent- steps from the beach! A quick car ride or Uber to Wildwood proper for restaurants or entertainment/boardwalk. We look forward to returning!
My daughter and I have stayed here three times now, and it’s always perfect! Mary is a joy to communicate with and we will most definitely be returning. Property is clean, quiet and seconds to beach front relaxation.
Mary was wonderful to work with! The whole time she was responsive, caring and knowledgeable. Everything was thought of and I felt at home with my children. I hope to definitely come back and stay longer. The area is wonderful as well.
Lovely view. Great location…The condo was very nice and the owner made it feel inviting. The deck with umbrellas was a plus. All the people we met were pleasant and helpful. Everything was clean and well kept. I would return again.
Clean property with amazing view of the ocean. Easy beach access and filled with extra little things like coffee pods, soaps and blankets. Easy to follow directions and very quick and responsive host. Had a great couple days with my two young sons (3 and 4) and parents.
We had the perfect view of the beach- no cars, no roads, just dunes, sand, and water! We could easily go back to the room for a quick break or to grab something. Terrific and timely communication from the owner. Highly recommend for a couple or small family! We’ll be back!
I love my young grandkids but sometimes it's nice to take a short break and relax. This is the perfect place to spoil yourself for the grandkids. All the comforts and cleanliness you can desire are there with an added bonus of a spectacular view, updated, quality condo and great host. If I am lucky, I will be back often.
Wonderful beach week. Loved the ocean front views and easy beach access. It’s a very quiet area which is what we wanted. The listing is accurate and the owner was in touch with us during the stay. Appreciated the care the owner puts into condo for her guests. Very thoughtful and made the visit easy for us. Thank you!!!
Mary, thank you for such a great place to stay for my birthday weekend. The view was awesome and for February we had some great weather. Your place was clean VERY equip with extras that we forgot (and what can I say about the labeling but well organized). You were so thoughtful about our stay and provided so many extra details that made it easy for us (especially the food hints lol). Great place and stay. Hope to use again with even warmer weather.
Stayed for most of the week. Nice and quiet and comfortable. My only complaint was that it was not exactly as pictured. There was more furniture in it than showed online. Perhaps some outdoor furniture brought in for the season? (I was there over Christmas.) I found it cluttered for my taste but was able to rearrange some things to make it better while I was there. I did enjoy my stay and the view! Bed was pretty comfortable. enjoy
Love this property. The room faces the ocean and that’s what we were looking for. Booked for September (after the season) so that we could relax and not be over run by the many tourists visiting during Summer. Everything was as posted and the owner “Mary” was very helpful. She has thought of everything anyone would ever need. If you didn’t bring it… she has it. A great place for littles or a trip with your significant other.
Mary thought about every detail a vacationer would need for a comfortable stay ! The condo was well stocked and clean. AC was perfect and the view could not be beat! The property as a whole is well tended to. Staff sweeping, caring for the table umbrellas and trash cans. Guests were quiet during the asked quiet time during the night.
Easy parking, great owner communication. Many little touches making the stay special to the guests. We cannot wait to return.
A cozy apartment with a beautiful view. We were treated to lovely sunrises on our deck which is part of the reason we selected the location. Our host was very helpful before and during our stay. She has kept this unit in perfect guest welcoming shape with many little extras. We cook most dinners in so were glad for nice utensils, kitchenware and even small bins of things you may have forgotten. The beds pretty much fill the bedroom, but you really only sleep there and we just had two people so were fine.

Great Value
Owner responsive and easy to work with. Location is fantastic. However the unit is small which is not an issue, but there in an excessive amount of personal items everywhere. Food in cabinets, only closet was packed with items, mound of kids toys and bowl of old forgotten sunglasses as you enter. Other reviewers found this to be helpful, our family found it cluttered. The price for what you get is probably the best value in the Crest and if you are ok with people's personal effects everywhere then this is a great deal

The items in the condo are there purposely for the use of the renters. Most if not all renters find it very convenient that they may not have to bring sand toys, sunglasses, reading glasses, or even use and replace some non-perishable food. The bathroom is stocked with toiletries, in the event a renter forgot something.The closet contains an extra cot, ironing board, and a vacuum. Again, all these items most commented were very helpful. Sorry it didn't exceed your expectations.

We stayed there last year also because the place is adorable and the view is amazing.
Like last year, we had a great time. My only criticism is the main office has nothing to do with the people that clean the condos. When I called on the day of arrival, the office told me the place would be ready by noon. When we got there after 12, the cleaning lady had just started. I was told they don't communicate with each other when I asked how was I allowed to check in? Also, the staff at the Summer Sands is primarily Russian and they speak very little English. Again, this has nothing to do with the condo itself or the owner. They are very nice people and do a great job keeping the place so nice!

Great Feedback and Thanks. Yes, the management company has nothing to do with check-in, check-out, or cleaning. I will ask them not to comment in the future, as they have no valid information to give. I will add some additional materials to future guests checking in so they will know exactly what to expect. Sorry they gave you bad info. Thanks for staying with us, and we look forward to your return!
This is our fourth year staying in Wildwood and this place was our favorite by far. You can't beat opening your door and having the amazing view of the beach. Even though our deck was shared, because it's an end unit we felt like it was our own private patio. I loved having my morning coffee and evening wine out there. My son especially loved the bunk beds and comfy couch. There was also a patch of sand immediately beyond the property where we played frisbee (if we didn't feel like passing the sand dunes to the beach proper).
My only critique is that there was a lot of stuff crammed into a small space. Then when you bring in your own luggage and stuff it can be a lot. But it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the space.
I have one suggestion for the owner. She sent a lot of helpful information about the property and area (e.g., restaurants, things to do). In addition to receiving that information electronically, it would have been nice to have hard copies in a binder at the property that we could page through. Sometimes it's inconvenient to access information on your phone.
Thanks again for a great stay! We hope to book this property again in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Dietz- Hepp
I live in North Jersey, and just love the Jersey Shore. I never believed I would own a condo on the Jersey Shore, but I do since 2012. This unit FACES THE OCEAN. No driving or walking to the beach!
Why they chose this property
Wildwood Crest has always been a special place for me. I have vacationed here with my family since I was young, and just love the peaceful beaches, sunrises, breezy afternoons, and of course, the boardwalk in Wildwood! 2 of my sisters own Units at Summer Sands if you are interested in your extended family staying close by .
What makes this property unique
Beaches are super clean, long and gradual, have porta johns and equipment rentals if you happen to need an extra chair or umbrella, and of course....FREE beach access. Wildwood Crest also offers Beach Wheelchair Rentals and Handicap Transport
