Four Winds Condo Motel

Wildwoods Beach

Sadly, I can’t recommend this property to anyone so long as a man named Charlie remains in any sort of authority position. I should have read the FB & google reviews because it seems like others, including another Airbnb group, had similarly bad experiences last month with this man. The short version of our story is that we were yelled and screamed at by this Charlie guy over where to park in a really hostile, aggressive, and scary manner. We actually contacted Airbnb with a personal safety concern. 

Here’s the long version. Our host advised us to park in the garage after we asked if we could park in outside spots along the street. He wasn’t aware of those and said to park in the garage/lot. We parked outside the 1st night. The next day, we followed his instructions to park in the garage.  A random man (who I now know was Charlie)  in the garage told us we had to park outside, and when I tried to talk to him about it, he verbally attacked and threatened us while not allowing me to get a word in edgewise to explain the situation. It was very hostile. Moreover, there were signs everywhere saying that parking was for Four Winds guests, which we were. There were absolutely no signs indicating that renters could not park in the garage.

While we were walking away from him on the other side of the garage, I started venting to my partner. He apparently heard it bc he barged over and started screaming and threatening us again in an even more hostile and aggressive manner. He began screaming that (a) I cursed at him in front of his daughter, which I absolutely did not do, (b) our host would never tell us to park in the garage (Um…I have the messages to prove it), and (c) our stay was over bc he allegedly owned the whole complex. He did not own it at all, but rather sat on the HOA board, so he straight up lied to us in an attempt to intimidate us. I tried to reason with him again and show him our host’s messages advising us to park in the garage, but he refused to see them and continued to yell at us, saying that our stay was over.  It was a horrific experience that very negatively impacted our stay even though our host did smooth things over. I was actually a bit scared when this man came barging at us, as was my partner.  I didn’t feel comfortable using any of the public areas after that, including the pool, for fear that I would encounter him again. He always seemed to be hovering around the garage area, which was impossible to avoid. It was incredibly hostile and uncomfortable. Overall, I can’t recommend this property to anyone unless you’re comfortable with the risk of being harassed and screamed at by this man. And for the record…we did listen to him and park outside. The fact that we tried to talk to him about it at all was apparently what he found unacceptable enough to yell and scream at us. Proceed with caution.

Avoid at all costs

We went to Wildwood to have a fun, relaxing trip. We did book it last minute, and the pictures looked very nice so we decided why not. First of all, the elevator was about to break. It was shaking every time we got on it even though the capacity was like 2000 pounds.  Second, the room was not nice at all. It smelled very bad, gosh I wish I could explain it. Lastly, the pool closed at 8 pm! We usually like to go for night swims and we could not! We saw every single other hotel/motel have the ability to swim past 10pm. Will definitely not be coming back

Horrible

I have been going to wildwood for 13 years and will not stay anywhere else! The manager and the staff are always so pleasant. They always go above and beyond to make me feel welcome and always remember who I am.

Always a Pleasure

It was very difficult to come up with an accurate rating for this hotel. It really fell between 3 and 4 stars depending on the room you got. All of the units in the hotel are individually owned. As a result there is tremendous variability in the quality of the individual rooms. In my opinion perhaps too much variability. We traveled with several family members so got to see several of the rooms. Our room fell on the lower end of the scale (though not the worst of the group). At the 4th of July week elevated pricing of over $339/night, it is hard to consider this a good value (even if it is not out of line with other Wildwood Crest hotels on the Beach).

It looked as if it had not been renovated in some time, and was somewhat dated. It was somewhat clean (as much as any of the Wildwood Crest Beach motels are), but just looked worn. The AC worked fine, but the mattresses and bedspreads were somewhat lacking. We had a stove top and a pretty old refrigerator. We had a TV in living room of the efficiency, but not in the bedroom.  Our Bathroom was in a somewhat dire need of a remodel as well.

Other rooms in our party, were modern and updated, they had high end appliances (including a full oven), and a granite (maybe Quartz) countertop. Their furniture was new, and stylish, and their bathroom was nicely done as well. They had a TV in the bedroom, and perhaps more importantly new comfortable mattresses. If I had been given this room, it would be a 5 star rating for sure.

The location of the hotel is excellent on the south end of the Crest. It also is right on the Beach, which is a tremendous. You do not have to cross a street to get to the beach. Great for kids and families.

The pool is relatively small but clean. One thing to note is that due to the location of the hotel the pool gets morning sun, but is in the shade in the afternoon. I personally like afternoon sun better, but YMMV. 

There are 3 clean decent sized grills down on the first floor available for guest use. While they got a fair amount of use, I can not recall having to wait to use them. There are also a couple of nice wider deck areas with tables on the 2nd floor, where families could eat outside.  Also should note a small game room on the second floor that was used by some of the kids.

Great Location - Highy Variable Rooms

Four Winds is right on the beach and has plenty of parking. Loretta was very nice and helpful. We weren't looking for a hotel that was on the boardwalk because it could get really loud very late at night. This hotel was very quiet and only about a mile from the boardwalk. Rooms 205 and 206 were very clean and modern. They both had a kitchen, bath and a door leading from one to the other. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location, clean and modern rooms

Stayed 2 nights, they are mostly weekly renters so we were lucky to find a place. Pool area was clean, close to the beach. Older building but has been kept up. Beds showed  some age but your at the shore. Would stay again.

clean stay

It is a condotel.  Clarissa and staff are very friendly and helpful. 

We stayed in a room that has a pool view.  It had a spacious bedroom separate from the kitchen and living/dining room.  It was super clean.  The only thing was the small kitchen.  They provided everything - plates, cups, pots and pans.  The kitchen was small.  The fridge cannot be opened completely as the door bumps into the wall.  Doesn't matter to us...everything else was great.  

Pool was so clean.  We were in the third floor and you can see the floor of the pool.  

We moved to another room because we extended.  It was an oceanview room.  OMG!  This was huge.  The view was amazing.  The kitchen was also big.  

We would definitely recommend getting the oceanview rooms.  It's worth it.

Near Perfect Vacation

Contrary to my previous opinion (Worrying vacation), this year I was very disappointed. The hotel is very badly aging and the maintenance is unwelcome. There were wooden blocks holding the terrace above the parking lot near the sea and the very rusty metal beams. Not very reassuring to park her vehicle there. The rooms owned by the owners are unequal in terms of the quality of services offered. When I arrived, my room was very unclean and the housekeeping had been done on board the ship. Luckily, Loretta the manager changed our room but the vacation was still bitter. I will not go back to it.

Disappointing hotel

Great place for a wonderful vacation right on the beach. There are several types of bedrooms or condos available according to our budget. Nice parking spaces, big enough for a big vehicle. An elevator not to be dismissed if you are on the fourth floor. Clean and many units have been renovated to the taste of the day. Note the presence of the manager Loretta who is always smiling and ready to help you. It is without a doubt my vacation spot in the future. My reservation is already made for next year. The only gem, the pool is not very big.
