The home was beautiful and in a great neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the beach that was only a short distance away. The location made it easy to get to Cape May and the boardwalk in Wildwood. Would recommend and stay again

Homeaway image of the water is misleading as it makes it appear if this is the view from the property.

I am sorry that you interpreted the picture I took from the dunes, as the view from the house, it is just to show the bay beach that I describe in our write up. The photo of the bay beach is only intended to show the bay beach feature that you walk down to see, not as the view from our home. I do not advertise our home as a waterview property, and would never mislead our guests.
We’ve been renting this property since 2014. We are blessed to still continue to enjoy this home and build memories for our family. The best sunset. The best spot by the bay. The Villas best kept secret. Our home away from home.

Cozy Cottage near the ocean!
Rick was great to work with. His house was perfect for our family weekend gathering. Though it was too cool to swim in the ocean (stayed 3rd weekend of April), we did go for a walk on the beach at the end of the road (less than 5 min. walk). So beautiful! The house was clean and beautifully decorated and with all amenities as stated in the property description.

Memorable
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. It is quaint, cozy, and welcoming. The neighborhood is just as wonderful with friendly neighbors and the bay just steps away. We rented the home as my son graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard and it made a memorable event even more unforgettable. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Woodcock!

I am so glad our home helped cap off a great graduation weekend at the US Coast Guard Training Academy, and that your family was able to have such a memorable time ! Thank you again for staying at our home.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We’ve been renting in Villas for the past couple of years and this has been our favorite property by far. The house was very clean and well set up (nicely decorated with not too much clutter and space to put belongings throughout the house). The pool was nice and we also enjoyed the fenced yard that gave our kids a place to safely play and run around. Very close to the bay. Rick, the owner, was also very responsive and great to work with.

Thank you for the ultimate complement of being your favorite home in the Villas! We are so glad you found all the amenities to meet the needs of your family .
The house was beautiful, clean and equipped. The air conditioning was not always suitable, the rooms were small but cozy, and mostly hot.

Beautiful week!
We couldn't have asked for a better week. The house was very comfortable with a lot of room. The kids spent countless hours in the pool (as did the adults). The location was perfect between Wildwood and Cape May. Boardwalk, water park, beach, sunsets restaurants. Everything within a few minutes. Another plus, no rain all week. It was a great week with the grand-kids!

Gale,
We are so glad you had a great time, and got to enjoy all the special pleasures of our home, from the sunsets and pool, to the close proximity of Wildwood and Cape May. Thank you again for staying at our home, and hope to have you back again !
We have rented different beach houses every summer for over 10 years and this was the best one yet! The description on VRBO is 100% accurate. The location of the property is perfect as you are 20 minutes away from Cape May and Wildwood. Any store you would need, drug store, grocery store, liquor store, deli, take out, etc. is just minutes away. The proximity to the bay beach is perfect and the sunsets are absolutely amazing. The house was immaculate and so cozy. Rick was wonderful to work with. He is very responsive and organized. Can’t wait to rent this house again!

Deanna,
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay ! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and descriptive write up of your stay, I really believe this helps families decide on a vacation home that is fun for all ! Hope to have you back next season !
My family and I stayed in this beautifully appointed house to meet up with our cousins from NJ who also had a shore house for the week!! We loved everything about this house and it’s location! It’s a nice quiet neighborhood with friendly people, we were one short block walk to the beach where we caught some amazing sunsets! We were a short drive to Wildwood and the boardwalk where we always have a blast! It was easy as pie to check in and check out, the owners have a great manual that helps with everything. The pool was great and thankfully the weather cooperated till our last day and we got to enjoy it!! There were 6 of us that stayed in the house and it was just perfect for all 6 of us! The kitchen was great and the whole place was very clean!! We will definitely keep this house in mind for our next family reunion vacation!!

Lovely home!
We had a really wonderful week at this home! The house is very cute and super clean. The pool was so much fun to have and the kids enjoyed playing in the fenced in yard as well. It is SO close to the bay beach. The bay was a little weird during certain times of the day - it got really muddy... not sure if that's always the case in this location. There were also a TON of horseshoe crabs - dead and alive. Again, not sure if that's the norm or if something weird was going on with the weather, etc. But the house exceeded our expectations and our whole family really enjoyed our stay! We were so sad to leave! Thanks!!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Liv,
Glad our home exceeded expectations, that is always a great thing ! The bay is a rustic natural habitat for migratory and local birds, some of the birds come from South America and stop at our beaches to feast on the horseshoe crab eggs. Our beaches are their half way point to the North Pole.
The tidal swings can be 4-6 feet between high tide and low tide, depending on the moon (Full Moon's) bring the highest tidal swing, a very high and very extreme low tides. It is during the extreme low tides more of the bay bottom is exposed, and further out the sand transitions to a mud base.
Thanks again and we hope to have you back again.
Sincerely,
Rick

Perfect House and Location for Families
My family stayed here for about a week. Let me say as others have noted, the photos do not show what a gem this place is. It was very clean and organized. The owner's have a manual for everything you need to know about the house itself and the surrounding areas including brochures for attractions and menus for local restaurants. I was quite impressed with how orderly it was. The yard and pool were bonus for us since we have a child. There were days he didn't want to go to the beach and instead opted to swim in the pool. Wildwood and Historic Cape May are a 15 minute drive from this location. The bay beach is half a block away. The zoo is about a 20 minute drive. We will definitely be coming back for years to come. The owners were great to deal with. I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to be in the direct mix and willing to drive a little.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
Thank you for your kind words about our home ! We are thrilled when a family has the opportunity to experience the Cape May Villas, as we have for 20 years. We have always believed it is the best kept secret in South Jersey ! Look forward to having you back next year.
This was my second stay on Walnut. I was here 5 years ago and always wanted to return. The location can’t be beat—a block from the bay. There are several restaurants in a 10-minute radius. The house is nicely appointed. The kitchen has plenty of utensils, pots, pans, and dishes (salt, pepper, and Old Bay, no sugar), as well as a small rolling island and two coffee makers. Beds are comfortable, on the hard side but not too hard. The couch is comfy and accommodating. The TV isn’t too difficult to figure out, as some nowadays are! The pool is a great feature, though we didn’t use it. The deck is roomy, and the furnishings there and on the patio are sturdy and welcoming.
Our only issue: The bath off the kitchen has a tub with no grab points/bars and no in-tub, nonslip surface. I would have been happy to bring a rubber mat along, but it wasn’t listed under Items to Bring, so I didn’t realize. The en-suite bathtub has shelves that you can grab if you need to. But the shelves in the first bath are angled underneath and not grabbable.

So glad you enjoyed your stay ! Thank you for coming back to our home. I will certainly ad to the guest checklist a non slip bath mat for the hall bath tub in our guest letter. Thanks again !
We had another great week at this property. The house is always very clean and orderly. The renovations/upgrades look great and everything is arranged nicely. We really like the location, that the house is so close to the bay and also a short drive to the beach, restaurants and fun family activities. Highly recommend staying here!
Lovely house with swimming pool and a short walk to beach!
This house, pool, deck and plenty of grassy back yard to play in were ideal for us and my young grandchildren. The house is well-equipped and the layout where the living room is away from the bedrooms is great. We had perfect weather and can highly recommend this quiet neighbourhood and the beach sunsets! Thank you hosts!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect for little ones. The house was a 2 minute walk from the bay. We spent our days lounging around. It was a 20 min drive to Cape May Zoo and a 20 min drive to Wildwood boardwalk. The neighborhood is quiet but there’s restaurants, Wawa, and a crab place all nearby.
We always have a great stay at this property. Nice house with a good sized living room and kitchen, outdoor space and a fun pool. Location is also great, being only a block from the bay. With two little kids, this is a perfect vacation spot.
We had a wonderful time at this home.
Especially the little things that helped with having kids with us such, as night lights throughout the home and all dinnerware. It was a great time!
This property was perfect for us. The kids loved the pool and sunset walks on the beach. The house was close enough to everything we wanted to do.

About the host
Hosted by Kristin G.
We are a family of four who rented many properties in the Villas over the years and decided we were ready to own a piece of this wondrous place. One of the best kept secrets of the Jersey Shore, the Villas will surely steal your hearts the way it stole ours.
Why they chose this property
We have owned this home since 2021, and bought it because of the quiet neighborhood and its proximity to the bay beach. This location offers the best of all worlds, whether you like walks on the beach in the morning, flying kites with the your children during the day, or watching the sunsets at night. What we discovered was each night at our beach, you will see the most unique sunsets you will ever see on the East Coast. Each night, the bay, sun and sky provide a different show for its visitors. In Cape May they call it 'Sunset Beach', and in the Villas, we call it 'Our Best Kept Secret'.
What makes this property unique
This is a very quiet neighborhood where the kids enjoy riding their bikes and going down to the bay beach and flying kits, digging in the sand, and watching the awesome sunsets.
