STAY IN WILDWOOD CREST! POOL, GRILLS, HOT TUB, ELEVATOR, VIEWS

My family and I have rented every season in the Crest and this property is our favorite! It gave us everything we were looking for , space , cleanliness , proximity to our other family members who own a home here, pool, and just an over all great stay! We will definitely be repeat renters!

Third time staying at the Monarch. Great location for Convention Center, Boardwalk and Beach. Condo had 4 bedroom/3 bath + kitchen and family rm. Pool, hot tub were great. Space was great - slept 10 easily. Door latch was not working properly and property mgt sent out locksmith same day and fixed promptly. Only concern was cleanliness upon arrival - showers, ceiling fan and baseboards all were dirty - only quick surface cleaning appered to be done. We recommended this location to another family attending the same event week of 7/10/23 and they had similar experience with arrival cleanlines. Other than that, would stay here again.

Besides a few annoyances, we had a great time. Our vacation positives definitely outweigh the negatives, however, there were negatives. Positives: The location was perfect, the bedrooms sizes and bed arrangements were perfect for our family, it was nice to have 3 bathrooms, and the one accessible pool area was very nice. The negatives: 1) the property boasts of 2 pool areas, while true, this is false advertising. Guests have access to 1 pool area, the other is for owners. 2) the condo floors were filthy when we arrived. I think they were simply vacuumed and that was all. We are a family that removes shoes at the door but then our feet were gritty and dirty. If there was a swiffer of some sort I would have let this go. It was really annoying though right off the bat. I ended up wetting one of our towel and wiped down the entire floor. 3) Downstairs neighbor/owner was rude and complained about my young daughter with special needs being too loud while playing during the daytime. We were absolutely quiet during the set quiet time. 4) Some attention needs to be taken in the bathroom. Shower curtain was ripped and barely usable. The drain plugs were faulty or nonexistent which makes taking a bath near impossible especially for a small child. When I told the realtor I was told that there are usually spares under the sink (there weren’t). I was a bit disappointed in the reply as I would expect that she should have apologized about the cleaning crew. That really should have been their job. 5) one of the comforters was quite stained and made me wonder how often they were washed. 6) With all of the rules about leaving it tidy and such, I expected the condo to be a bit cleaner and nicer for the price we paid. If it weren’t for the location and layout I would have given it a 3 star review.

The location was perfect for our daily walks to the beach and easy access to the boardwalk. The pool was perfect for the adults to relax in the hot tub while the kids splashed around in the pool. We will be booking again for next year.
