Wildwood's boardwalk is much bigger and has many more options than Ocean City's boardwalk. My family has owned a house in Wildwood Crest for 12 years and I have ZERO complaints. I do have the house though so I am not too sure about the pet friendliness of the hotels. It is EXTREMELY family friendly as is Ocean City. Also, it is really close to Cape May which you absolutely have to visit.

Surf 16 is definitely not anything to ride home about. I would look into renting a house or condo in north wildwood or wildwood crest. Wildwood crest is further from the boardwalk but the beaches are less crowded and the town is less crowded.

Definitely avoid any streets that sound like trees.. magnolia, pine, etc. and presidents names i.e Jefferson

The number streets 26-1 is probably the best as the boardwalk is in walking distance and you can take quick walks back to check on the dog.

I love Wildwood and people who say otherwise (not being nasty just honest here) either have never been there or have not been in 10 years. I go to Ocean City and Avalon at least twice a summer.
