Summer dates going fast, 2023 bay side rancher updated, close to best sunsets!
This quiet community on the Delaware Bay has been compared to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, with its rustic, natural beaches and tranquil sand dunes. The best kept secret at the New Jersey shore, this completely remodeled home in 2023 is about a 5-10 minute walk to the bay, but we recommend you drive, so you don't have to carry all your gear, and for bathroom and beverage runs. Parking is ample, and never a problem. The soft sand and secluded beaches boast the most magnificent sunsets in the area. Our unspoiled beach compliments the nature lover, and with the subtle waves of the Delaware bay, it is the perfect beach for families with small children. Just a bike ride away from the Cox Hall Creek Nature preserve or the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, there is plenty to enjoy at this comfortable home.
Three bedrooms, two baths, sleeps eight, (five adults and 3 kids, two queens, one twin over full bunk bed and a futon) with a primary suite with a private bath. TV with cable in the open concept living area, fully appointed brand new eat-in kitchen, deck with table and umbrella, screened-in covered porch with outdoor seating area. Bikes and helmets, beach chairs and beach umbrella, beach toys, propane gas grill, off-street parking for 3-4 cars, ceiling fans and tvs in all rooms, washer, dryer, dishwasher, unlimited Wifi included. Netflix available at no charge. Ten minute car ride from the bustling activities and fun of historic Cape May and fifteen minutes from the excitement-filled boardwalk in Wildwood. Sheets and towels not provided. Saturday to Saturday rentals from mid June to mid September (with some exceptions), occasional 3-4 night stays. This property and the surrounding area must be seen to be appreciated, come experience the natural beauty that abounds!!
Plenty of 5 star restaurants & outdoor activities. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. Everything you need for a memorable spring/summer/early fall vacation get away with all the activities of Cape May and Wildwood for a fraction of the cost! Vacation get-away, plenty to do all year round!

Home was cozy and welcoming and all the essentials of home. Great communication with host. Location was great! It was close proximity to Cape May beaches, shops, wineries and much more . Would definitely come back.
We had a great trip and enjoyed all of the updates to the home. Lovely aesthetic. Great yard for the kids to run around. Must have screen porch near the bay and beautiful garden. Great property for a family trip.

Thank you for this thoughtful review, and thank you for leaving our home so nice, we would love to have you back!
The house is on the bay side of Cape May with beautiful sunsets at the beach. It's about 8 minute walk which makes it an excellent location. Everything you may need you'll find at the house. Make sure you read the house rules before booking/arriving to make sure you have everything you need. The owners were very helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay.

The house was clean, well maintained and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed for a great long Labor Day weekend! Weather was awesome and it was an easy 10 minute walk to the beach.

Thank you for your comments. Please let us know what else we could do to earn a 5 star rating. We are always looking to improve our guests' experience. Keeping in mind the price point and location to the bay, which is know before rental. Thank you for your feedback.
We had a wonderful time. Close to the beach. Easy drive to cape may and wildwoods. Very clean, easy to get in. Owners were wonderful to communicate with. No negatives at all !!

Thank you so much for this review, Allison, it is very helpful to our future guests!!
Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the property. The house was very clean and well maintained, and it was stocked with pretty much everything you needed to make it a home away from home! Check in and check out were simple. Briefly exchanged texts with the owners, who were very gracious. Hope to stay again soon!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It will be very helpful to our future guests. You were delightful clients, hope to host you again!
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and the owners were very responsive to any questions we had. The outdoor deck and screened in porch were great additions to the recently updated home. The walk to the bay beach was a little father than we expected when booking but still was an easy walk. Overall we had a great stay!

Thank you for this detailed review, Olivia! Our future guests will benefit from your comments. We advertise a 5 minute walk to the bay beach. How can we be more accurate, in your opinion?
The property was very nice. Nice screened in porch so being outside was nice even when the weather wasn’t. Also nice with no mosquitos. Very clean inside and very spacious. We had 4 adults and two kids and plenty of space and privacy. Walkable to beach was nice. Highly recommend.

Thank you for staying with us, Diane, great guests, hope to have you back!
I spent every summer at my great grandmother's house a few streets up from this house. We chose this house based on the location and because it had two full baths. Upon arrival we were totally impressed with how clean and open the floor plan was. We loved the laundry being in the kitchen! The entire house and bedrooms were beautifully decorated. We LOVE this house!!! It is in the perfect location, convient to coffee shops, restaurants, the bayfront, and shopping in Cape May. To top off all this awesomeness, Kathleen and Joe were exceptional hosts. They answered our questions and were so nice and easy to talk to. Thank you Kathleen and Joe! We cannot wait to come back for our next visit! If you're planning a trip to Cape May, we HIGHLY recommend staying at Warick by the Waves!!!

Oh wow!! We cannot thank you enough for this glowing review!! It is very helpful for future guests. Your family were dream guests, you left our home so nice, it was hard to tell anyone stayed. We would love to have you back!
The home is centrally located to Cape May and Wildwood, which was nice, so time was spent at both places. The house had everything needed to make our stay comfortable. There is a nice screen in porch and a little fire pit outside to roast marshmallows. We had some meals at the house and there were several restaurants nearby. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had and a good time was had by all!

Perfect! Content warning for the review: definitely on the emotional side, but very relevant.
Awesome communication, caring property managers, superior cleanliness - all those boxes easily checked!
This property is exactly as described and wonderfully depicted in photos- the accuracy was the catalyst in creating the happiest day of my life.
Backstory: my husband and I planned a beach wedding ceremony on 8/30 (w/ 6 week notice) so availability was already limited. I desperately wanted my WV family to attend but had to be extremely tedious. My brother (J) became partially paralyzed after a horrible motorcycle accident on 8/28/22 (almost 1 year to the day of our ceremony) so booking something friendly for mobility aids would at least give him the option to attend.
I scoured countless postings trying to find something at least semi-wheelchair friendly, with minimal (or no) stairs, accessible shower, space to maneuver through the main living areas, etc. (Note: I’m NOT claiming, *nor does the listing state* this property is wheelchair accessible by regulation standards)
But this place felt right so I booked it & sent it to my mom with potential workarounds if needed.
J immediately loved the property & agreed to make it happen. 😭 J and our younger sister escorted me down the aisle. The meaningfulness is indescribable because we tragically lost our oldest brother 02/2021. I had a small vile of his ashes made into my bouquet. Being together, basking in genuine happiness & celebrating love- all made possible because of a last-minute, perfect VRBO booking.

Dear Kayla and new hubby,
We are so happy our home was ready for you! Your Blue Moon wedding on the beach in Cape May was a show-stopper! I wish there was a way to share the photos! Many years of happiness wished to you and your beloved.
Best,
Kathleen & Joe
