Home away from Home

We had a wonderful week stay this year. Due to some issues last year I was not able to go the whole week so we took advantage of everything. Especially the pool since it was so hot. Everything was perfect and clean when we got there and we felt right at home. Hoping to stay there again next year. Lisa

Cloverdale Cottage was clean, fresh and so relaxing - it was everything we needed. We enjoyed the heated pool, back deck, comfy bed, morning and evening walks with our pup to the bay beach, beautiful sunsets, great seafood, and friendly neighbors and locals. Quick and easy ride to Cape May attractions. Hope to visit again! Thanks for everything!

Fourth of July week

Communication prior to arrival with our host was amazing, they were very responsive and assured that we had all the information we needed to check in. The check-in process was easy. The key was accessible, and we found all of the house rules and check out items in a binder in the house. Our stay was amazing, easy walking to the beach and the pool in the yard was key. My favorite part of the vacation was the outdoor shower, I may never shower inside again.

We enjoyed our week at Cloverdale Cottage and would stay again. The photos are a great representation of the house, very clean and there was enough space for five of us to be indoors without feeling cooped up.The pool was very enjoyable. Upon arrival we noticed an issue with the pool and left a voicemail for Kate. She returned our call within ten minutes and had someone to come fix the pool the next day. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, we walked to the bay (about a 10 min walk) and to grab some seafood and ice cream nearby. The house was well stocked with supplies, much more than we expected and we were able to make meals in the kitchen each day. While the house is dog friendly, there was no visible dog hair on furniture or any strange odors and the yard was very clean. If you are bringing a dog along I would recommend this place as they had a nice space for the dog, fenced in back yard and easy to clean floors. Definitely suitable space for pets and children.

Perfect respite

My husband I stayed at Kates property with our 2 dogs. We had previously rented this property years ago from a different owner when are kids were young. It was wonderful to revisit this cotrage and we loved the addition of the pool! Neighborhood is quiet, bay is right down the road. Fish and fancy restaurant is perfect but order early! Close to Cape May

Wonderful end to the Summer

Cloverdale Cottage had everything we needed for a short, late summer stay. My Mom who is in her 80’s enjoyed the deck while our two dogs were free to roam in the yard as I took a dip in the pool. We liked the open concept of this home and the fact that the bedrooms were comfortable and each had their own TV. The kitchen was well appointed although we enjoyed most of our meals out locally. It helped that the weather was perfect and we had the beach to ourselves. Would love to go back!

Very cozy, clean, quiet.

The property is very nice. It has a large kitchen and living area. Fully stocked for laundry, bathroom and kitchen items. Didn't realize the pool was closed, we wend close to the end of Sept. but it rained most of our stay. LOVED being able to have our baby with us and took him for runs on the beach daily. The beach is an easy walk at the end of the street. Would certainly recommend to people looking for a quiet get-away.

A wonderful shore home

Our stay was enjoyable. The home is warm and welcoming, and Kate was available for any questions we had, both pre-visit and during our visit. We made great use of the backyard pool area. My granddaughter loved her "night time" swims. My husband and I enjoyed watching her excitement. The home is a short walk to the bay with easy accessibility. The sunsets were beautiful! We intend to come back again in the future. Thank you, Kate!

Great Family Getaway

This house had a great open layout, well stocked and an awesome pool for the kids. Located in a very quiet street and walking distance to the beach. We enjoyed walking our dog to the beach early mornings and late evenings. The house is well fenced and nice size yard for our dog to walk/run around. Beds were comfy and having a tv in each room was great. We used a grill which cooked our meals fast and having a washer and dryer was a plus. Kate was great and responded quickly to any questions we had. Will definitely be back.

Perfect place if you have pups

The fenced in yard it was fun for our two dogs to run around and chase rabbits and squirrels. We loved the pool to do our daily water exercises. The interior of house is one large room with living, dining and kitchen / big island. We only used main bedroom with adjustment mattress which was comfortable. My husband enjoyed the streaming tv in there to watch pre season NFL too.

Didn’t want to leave

We had a wonderful vacation at Cloverdale Cottage. The weather was perfect. The home had everything we needed. The pool was a bonus and we enjoyed it everyday. It was very convenient to both Wildwood and Cape May so we took day trips to either the beach, restaurants, boardwalk or shopping. Kate was very responsive to any questions I had during our week there. We were very comfortable in the home. It was perfect for relaxing, game nights and swimming. We definitely plan to be back next year. Fish and Fancy was a great go-to for seafood take-out and Harpoons on the Bay made me so very happy! Thank you for sharing your home with us :)

Great location and very short walk to beach!

My family had a wonderful time during our stay! The house was clean and accommodating. Great for families and pets! The owners were responsive and wonderful to work with. The house is a very short walk to Bay Beach. Cape May Beach is a very short drive away and we saw dolphins the first day we visited. The house is easily accessible to restaurants, stores, and attractions. We were able to get groceries through Instacart and there is a wonderful seafood restaurant at the end of the street. The house was welcoming and worked out great for our family. The backyard also included a fenced in yard, above ground pool, and patio furniture. We had such a wonderful time and can't wait to rent again!

Great stay - 3rd year in a row!

We had a great stay at the Villas' cottage! My parents, my husband and I, and our 2 kids (5 and 7) stayed for a week. The house was clean and there have been some improvements from the previous years. Check in is always easy - we received the code before we arrived. If you or your family don't love the ocean, but you still want to be at the beach for a day or so - this is a great location! The heated pool is phenomenal! My kids slept great because they swam in here all day! They also don't love the ocean (and probably wouldn't walk to the beach from a closer property), so a quick drive to the Cape May shore is easy. We do love to walk down to the bay to see the sunsets! There is so much to do in the area as well! Thank you for another great year of memories for our family!

8 night vacation in the villas

We go every year with my in laws and rent a house. We found this house and thought it was in a nice area and a good deal. We definitely enjoyed the experience. The living area is large and open concept which is nice for being with a group or family. The Heated Pool is a great bonus, not many homes offer that. It's nice for a day you want to swim but don't feel like lugging everything to the beach. It's outside of cape may but an easy drive to get there. A nice to go seafood place there too called fish and fancy. Try it out! We also loved the provided little shampoos and toothpastes! Lol. I'd recommend it to anyone. Especially ones with a pet. Owner is very responsive and sweet. Will definitely come back!

Cute cottage.

We love this cottage and especially the heated pool. Kids had a lot of fun swimming. Since this is my second time renting I thought I would take the opportunity to mention some possible ways to improve a renters stay. Please don’t take this as criticism S we really think the cottage is cute. Front bedroom- ceiling fan rattles and shakes. I was nervous it was going to fall down so we could not use it. It also clanked. Was not fixed in second year of renting. Also mattress in this room not comfortable so my husband and I did not sleep well. Two small fixes would improve this Think about a different cleaning company. Floors were very dirty. I cleaned up a small spill and the paper towel was black. Cottage needs a thorough cleaning. Windows have not been cleaned in ages. Front door needs repair. This is your entrance and first impression to your cottage. Patio could be spruced up with fresh coat of paint. Consider fire pit area where you have two lounge chairs. The neck is a great size.
