Malibu Motel

We just stayed at the malibu for our first time. Tom was extremely nice and accommodating. The location is quite convenient with close proximity to the beach and boards. We booked a room that slept 5. It does not. The room was extremely small, the pull-out couch was a bed of springs, definitely outdated and not an updated accommodation. The two full beds were very uncomfortable. The bedding looked like it had not been washed in weeks. The room was filthy when we got there. What was the most disappointing was the constant smell of marijuana. We watched owners of units smoke out of a bowl, within feet of the pool where there were young children. Our room constantly smelled like pot, while there was a No Smoking sign on the door. As a NJ resident myself, with family that does partake in w

Edit - 2026: There are now only two units available to rent (via their website), and they're both apartments. If you want to rent a different room, you have to book it through AirBNB, so the owners can charge you insane rates. Also, there is NO maid service. You will need to bring your own beddings, pillows, towels, wash cloths, trash bags, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. They got rid of the manager, Tom (who was the ONLY reason that we kept going there), and they did it in a way that I feel was extremely disrespectful. IF you should choose to stay here in 2026, prepare yourselves for drunk people screaming and playing LOUD music and metal horseshoes until all hours of the morning (the people who own the rooms can do whatever they want, but guests are expected to follow rules).

I recently stayed at the Malibu July 2024 and had the best time! The location to the beach couldn’t be more perfect. The room was nice and clean. Also Tom the manager is the best , he is so helpful and accommodating cannot say enough good things. Will definitely be back.

My family has been staying at the Malibu for close to 50 years! MDW 2025 was the worst experience we had at this motel! There are not many rooms that can be rented & and some of the owners make you feel uncomfortable. My mother & son both complained of people staring at them. People were partying near our room on the 2nd floor outdoor lounge area until around 3:30am! My son & niece had trouble sleeping! We definitely felt unwelcome there but it was okay for them to collect money from my husband & brother for a fundraiser 🤔. I suggest not staying at this motel. The owners want the entire place to themselves. This has nothing to do with the property manager Tom. Tom is a great guy and is always good to our family.

Our family has stayed here my entire life… I am now raising a family of my own. We had a huge group down this year and Tom always makes us feel so welcome and at home. The pool is always in perfect condition, which my 10 month old loved this year. Very clean, very welcoming atmosphere. We love it here and will continue to come as long as we vacation in Wildwood.
