The house is in a perfect location. If you stay here, you won't need to drive the entire time. Very nice yard for pets. The shower upstairs was one of my favorite things about the house. The bathroom is so pretty and the water pressure is fantastic. Overall, a really nice experience for a beach getaway!

Best of the Crest

Can’t beat the location. Massive porch. Terrific outdoor shower, private, hot water, lots of hooks, bench, great water pressure. Kitchen had everything you would need. Rooms are good sized, house is in a quiet neighborhood. We had a mini family reunion and everyone loved the house. Thank you to our hosts!

First visit to Wildwood

We had a great time at the house. It was close to the beach, and easy to get to the boardwalk, a quiet neighborhood we felt comfortable in, easy access to groceries, and with a porch that we had great fun sitting on.

It really is the best porch

The description of this unique home was very accurate. No surprises. We loved the history of the home and the front rich was perfect for morning coffee, family dinners and night time relaxing! We loved that our dogs could join us on our vacation. The back yard was perfect for them. Check in was super easy and owners were helpful with questions we had prior to trip. All appliances worked well. Very spacious home. ACs kept the bedrooms and house cool during a heat wave. Garage was filled with beach chairs and bikes that were in good condition. We enjoyed morning bike rides in the boardwalk. The walk to beach was not too bad and the house is right around the corner from a delicious bakery where you can get fresh apple fritters! We even took the long walk to the boardwalk a couple nights and got lots of steps in. This is the perfect home for an old school jersey shore beach house! Highly recommend.

Best weekend at the shore

It was such a gift to be able to return to the beach house from my childhood! The porch is still the best one in the Crest, and the house hasn’t lost any of its charm. We just love this home and the memories it has.

Lovely time in Lavender

We had a wonderful time at this home. It's very well maintained despite its age and you can tell there's a lot of love here. It's situated in a great location just a few blocks from the beach and boardwalk. It was perfect for our family and dogs.

The BEST porch in Wildwood

We were three families with kids ranging from 4 to 16 years old. We enjoyed this lovely traditional shore house over a long Labor Day weekend. It is ideally situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, close to the beach, and just a short walk to the best bakery in Wildwood! We enjoyed everything about our stay here and hope to stay here again next summer!

great porch and location

This home is great for a larger group. I stayed with my brother and his family - 7 of us altogether. We used the porch for family meals and games. The garage has multiple beach chairs, bikes, boogie boards, beach combers, sand toys - all you could want! It was our 2nd stay and we hope to be back again!

We had a wonderful time at the house. It was big enough for all of us. Everything we needed was in the house for us and all of our events or activities were in walking distance. We made great memories hanging on the porch and enjoying time together. Thank you for letting us use your home!

Another great week at 207 East Lavender!

This is our second time staying at this family friendly home. Easy walk to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, mini-golf and all the things the kids like to do. Once you arrive, you never have to move your car again. A lovely home with an inviting set of porches and private backyard. Ideal for our large family in every way. Thanks to Cynthia and Mark for a perfect stay.

Best porch stay

As advertised the porch makes the property. The house is very old but that gives it a unique and comfortable feel. Plenty of room for the ten of us. The house could use a little work on the upstairs shower but it still did the trick. No complaints here!

Ideal family shore home!!

My husband, two sons and their families ( 4 grandchildren, ranging in age from 3 to 17), as well as three dogs rented this great home for two nights Father's Day weekend. Remarkably comfortable, well-equipped: Interesting range of games ( from Twister to Risk), superb front porch, good location. Owner very immediately responsive to two minor concerns that we discovered on check-in. This home has good bones!!! We loved this place!!

Family Vacation

The vacation rental was exactly what we needed for our family vacation. We had 8 adults and our dog and there was plenty of space for all of us. We spent most of our time either on the beach or sitting and enjoying the awesome large porch. Learning the history of the house was beautiful and to see original pieces inside was priceless. The communication between the owners was prompt. It was our first time in Wildwood Crest and thrilled to have rented this beautiful historic home.

Great location and space

Loved the location! Perfect space for a large group of friends. At first glance the property is a bit outdated and dark, but the vibe was vintage, and there was more light after we opened the window shades. Outdoor shower was a huge plus. Owner was helpful and responsive. A few things were a little less than clean when we arrived (crumbs, dust, toilet); otherwise no complaints.
