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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The listing doesn’t do it justice

This is a beautiful historic home. Perfect for the beach and with everything that you could need in terms of deck chairs and boogie boards. We had a group of 8 (4 kids - 12, 12, 14 and 17) and the house still felt spacious. We loved the veranda and loved the outdoor shower even more. Try Rick’s seafood in N Wildwood if you’re looking for great sea food. Order the night before and eat it on the porch.

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.

Great time

There was some dog hair from the people before us, but overall it was very clean. The location was great for going to the beach. The porch was fantastic. We were out there every morning and every night. We discovered a great bakery around the corner from are house and went there three times for their Apple fritters they are delicious. I would highly recommend this house. Thank you again we had a great time.

Best Porch

No exaggeration, it is a great porch. We spent many hours talking, eating, reading and just relaxing on the porch. The house is very old and dark but it has a quaint relaxing feel to it. The inside shower is an antique tube updated but the outdoor shower was so wonderful we never used the indoor one. We were close to the beach and the Boardwalk which was great with small children. Also Britton’s is right around the corner for coffee and their amazing apple fritters.

Great Home and Porch

The house is a beautiful historic home, plenty of room for a large family 12 in our group. The bedrooms are large with plenty of room. The office or kids play area was nice for working and the kids could play games in. The kitchen was just the right size to work in it looks small in the pictures but 3-4 adults can work in it comfortably. The porch is where we would sit most of the time when we were not at the beach. Easy walk to the beach, bakery and deli nearby. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to get away with a family

Wildwood “best porch” vacation

We loved our stay at Wildwood Crest! Cindy was so easy to communicate with and as we were the first guests of the season we also met her husband. They are such kind, wonderful humans and kindly responded to any questions or concerns we had. Our Memorial Day vacation in Wildwood was particularly memorable for the 6 tween/teens we brought who were able to venture to the boardwalk on their own, ride bikes to the beach and enjoy the porch and sunshine. The sleeping situation was perfect for our 3 families, and everyone slept comfortably. Best of all, there are bikes and beach chairs and games galore, which helps minimize packing too much stuff! The porch was great for evening cocktails as well as morning apple fritters from the local famous Britton’s Gourmet Bakery.

Beautiful Shore Home! Loved the location, the historic look, and, of course, the big porch!

Beautiful Shore home! Quiet, yet close to all the attractions. We, along with our extended family, fit very comfortably. The outdoor shower and the large front porch are two of the best features. We ate dinner every evening on the porch, and enjoyed the rocking chairs later in the evening. The boardwalk is a short walk, which the kids loved. Golf was a short drive for the men, and it wasn’t far to the beach. Grocery stores are walkable or a short drive, and there are restaurants/ice cream close by. We all had a fabulous week.....hated to leave. Hope to return in the near future, once we organize everyone’s schedule. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Charming Older Cottage

The house looked so lovely, smelled great, looked clean. All went very well for all but one who was allergic to something in the house??? He had to sleep outside in the Jeep camper. We knew they rent to dog people and that was fine as we have dogs. If there had been cats there that could have been the issue, but who knows. Our son in law has allergy problems, but nothing as bad as this ever occurred. He loved the porch! Thanks

My experience at 207 East lavender Wildwood Crest New Jersey, was extraordinary, I particularly enjoyed the large beautiful wrap-around front porch, with picnic tables and BBQ Grill, and the Beautiful Golf Course like backyard was perfect for sunbathing, and the dog having plenty of room to exercise, house was Immaculate clean, with beautiful extraordinary wood work throughout the house particularly the staircase, floors walls and ceilings, I had such a wonderful time I hope I can book it again!!! I'd like to go back in September on the second Sunday if possible???

The Porch house

Great home with many original features. There was a lot of space and the outdoor shower was a bonus we didn't expect to use, but it was actually fun! The owners were friendly and helpful as we had many questions when booking. The only concern we had was the cleanliness of the home and porch. We needed to clean the dust/dirt off the corners of most rooms the and off the lamp plugs. We also had to clean off the fans and wall unit air conditioner blades. The beautiful porch had sticky drinks stuck to the floor and on the picnic tables. This caused a lot of flies. Once we cleaned everything we really did enjoy that great porch!!
