About this property

Crocus by the Sea Ocean Serenade close to everything free beach and pet friendly

  • About this space
    Welcome to Crocus by the Sea in Iconic Wildwood Crest! We have 4 apartments we rent all pet friendly and 3 blocks to the beach. Our 1st floor charming 3-bedroom, newly renovated 2-bedroom side cottage, 2nd floor 2-bedroom Sea Breeze Bay and 2nd floor 2-bedroom Ocean Serenade. Our house is a 100-year-old home with a Victorian front porch. You will have the feeling of a Cape may bed and breakfast only you get the whole apartment BUT with a wonderful free beach, its very large for playing ball, flying a kite and just relaxing, you can walk out 50 feet with no drop off or erosion. We also have portable toilets for your comfort and did I mention no beach tags and it free.
    We rent Saturday to Saturday from July 4 to August 29. For Barefoot concert weekend there is a 4-night minimum and Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend we have a 3-night minimum. Rest of the year 2-night minimums.
    All the apartments have been renovated in the last 7 years. New kitchens and baths, central air and washer and dryer etc. Ocean serenade and Sea Breeze bay have a beautiful porch with rocking chairs and a table for your breakfast lunch or happy hour. You each get you own side of the porch which has ocean views and a nice breeze.
    We are walking distance to everything, boardwalk, Playground for kids, bike rentals and the bike path, bakery, ice-cream, church, restaurants. Saturday night entertainment at the parks AND in the summer months there's fireworks every Friday night. New for this year is our enclosed outdoor shower.
    We have a 2-dog max with a 25-pound limit per dog. We do not rent to tenants if they are under 25 unless they are with their family as we are a family rental place. And sorry but we don't supply sheets and towels BUT we are partnering with Chrissy from Island Best Rental to rent sheets, towels, beach chairs, toys for the kids and pretty much anything you need for the beach contact her at chrissy@dontpack.com put the link "Crocus" for a 10% discount. Also please check the additional rules section.
    Thanks Pete & Beth

Nice place within walking distance to the beach

Our family and dog had a nice stay at Crocus by the Ocean. It’s a short walk to Wildwood beaches and a 25-minute drive to Stone Harbor. The host was nice and responsive to communication. It was a nice neighborhood to walk to dog in! The only negative was we had to keep the A/C low to keep the rooms cool (could use more ceiling fans).

The condo was the perfect size for the 4 of us. Pete & Beth allowed us to check in early so we could be sure to be settled for heading to the festival. We had no complaints. Thanks!

Family weekend

Cute place but too small for 5. The “no fees”meant we had to provide all linens and toiletries. Cumbersome for flying. The host was/is a great communicator, but when booking I did not notice the lack of linens and paper products. Had the basics and was in a great neighborhood.
