My mother's parents have taken their children to Wildwood, NJ, and my parents continue to tradition. I'm not sure when my Mom first stayed at the Ivanhoe, but I know that it's been awhile ago. My grandparents and parents are friendly with the owners, who expect us every summer. And we don't mind fulfilling their expectations. The Ivanhoe also owns 2 (I believe) houses as well as a hotel. My parents have rented one of the houses 3 times already as gifts to us children and a few of our friends upon completing high school. We have booked the house again this summer, and I can't wait to go. My boyfriend, who hasn't vacationed in Wildwood, is in for a real treat!Whether you need a room for a weekend or a house for 2 weeks, the staff and owners of the Ivanhoe will accomodate you and your needs. Give them a try, and I know that you'll keep going back!
