Steps from the Beach!

Just a few steps to beach without a road to cross between you and the sand, enjoy this one bedroom, second floor, family-friendly, beach-block Summer Sands condominium in Wildwood Crest - one of the best locations in the town voted Best Beach in New Jersey. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower, take a dip in one of two swimming pools, relax on one of the five verandas, and barbeque on one of six gas grills. While the condo sleeps 7, it is most ideal for 5 people. Though the building is on the beach, this unit is not oceanfront. Enjoy the beach itself during the day and an ocean view from any of the common decks at night.

As evening falls, take advantage of the world famous Wildwood Boardwalk or take in the nightlife. Historic Cape May is 15 minutes south while the excitement of Atlantic City is just a 30-minute drive north. The free Cape May Zoo, Sunset Lake, fishing trips, water activities, and plenty of restaurants will insure that you never run out of things to do or places to eat.

Exceptionally clean, renovated one-bedroom condo features:
- Air conditioning, heat, and ceiling fans
- Newer furniture
- Queen bed and bunk bed (full on bottom and twin on top)
- Queen-sized sleeper in the living room
- Fresh paint
- Flat-screen HDTV in living room
- Flat-screen HDTV with DVD player in bedroom
- Newer microwave, toaster oven, and full kitchenette with stove top

Complex features two swimming pools with kiddie areas, assigned parking space (one per unit), elevator in building, on-site laundry facilities (coin-op), and on-site management. Renter must bring all linens and towels. Ask about local linen rentals.

If you love the beach, plan ahead to stay in this smoke-free, pet-free condo! Updated annually for a fresh look!

Awesome place and location

The condo was exactly as described but the bedroom was much larger than we expected. The unit is right next to one of the outdoor decks with several tables and chairs that acted like our living room with a view of the ocean.

Great location

Great location! The property was walking distance to the beach which is what I was looking for because I wanted everyone to be able to come and go with out everyone having to pack up and leave. It also had 2 pools so if anyone didnā€™t want to go to the beach beach We had the pool option. That option is very hard to come by especially for the price. Itā€™s not a large place but we were there for the beach so I knew we werenā€™t planning on spending a lot of time inside. Itā€™s right outside of Wildwood so itā€™s much quieter so if your looking for more action all the time itā€™s not the place, but thatā€™s what we wanted. With the convenient option of the very close access to go to wildwood and have the action. We had the deck right outside to hang out on which we enjoyed and the use of the grills so when we wanted to eat in. It was definitely very relaxing the other people in the condo area were very friendly gave great advice the ice cream truck came around nightly and apparently you could even to text them to come which my boys thought were awesome. The unit was set up with Wi-Fi and Netflix to use I didnā€™t even have to sign in to my own account which I thought was awesome. This was my first time using VRBO and renting and I had a lot of questions and the owner was great and took time in answering all my crazy emails and if sheā€™s reading this I thank you very much for being so awesome. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.

Family Vacation

This was my family's 5th stay at The Summer Sands and we had a great time once again. This condo was nicely decorated, cute and cozy. The owner was very nice and responsive. The bedroom was perfect for our family of 4 with the bunk bed and was nice and cool with the air conditioning. The living room was the smallest we've stayed in at Summer Sands, but the bedroom was large and had a nice TV. It was the cooler room also so we hung out in there more when not out. Although we usually stay facing the beach, we actually loved the location of this condo facing the street because it was right above the pool and next to a nice sitting area and above the BBQs. It made grilling dinner much easier. It was also quieter at night because there weren't large groups hanging out on the balcony like they do on the beach side. Overall we had a great vacation and would stay in this condo again.

It was enjoyable besides a few things.

We had an overall nice time at the summer sands. It's very close to the beach which made access nice. The room was a bit small but was advertised as such so we expected that . The room cleaner could have done a bit of a better job, we had to go through and clean a bit more when we arrived, shelves were extremely dusty and coffee tables weren't wiped down. Although it was nice to have the patio right outside our door, It was mostly taken over by what seems to be owners of other condos who had no consideration to the curfew of 11:00pm. It was quite loud and there is no rule prohibiting smoking on the decks so the constant second hand smoke became a problem for myself and my children. Not sure we would stay here again but the owners were great at communicating and trying to make our needs met which we appreciated.

Great week long stay

We had a great stay in Wildwood Crest! Great location just a short walk to the beach! The listing is accurately described and communication from the host was great! The unit was a little tight for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 under 8) but that was expected and the basically right outside your door community patio table seating helped expand the space at meal time. Bunk beds in the bedroom were perfect for our 3 kids.

We really liked the location. I think some better photography of the property itself and amenities would serve it well because we thought it was a little undersold. We would definitely recommend this to friends and stay here again.

Wonderful family vacation spot!

My family had such an amazing time and this condo was perfect for our need! Although the space is small, there were little things that helped maximize the space, like a chest to hold suit cases and a nearly empty shelf to store items. The facility was great; clean and the staff was friendly. One of the best parts of our trip was meeting all of the other families also staying on the property. By the end of the week we were going to the beach together and exchanging phone numbers. Thank you to the renter for sharing your space with us!! Will absolutely book this property again :-)
