We always thought "awesome" should usually be reserved for places like the Grand Canyon, but we'll take the compliment! Thanks for coming, and for your kind review. It was a terrific week and we hope the pooches enjoyed themselves as much as you humans. Cheers!

Magnificent Way to Get Away

Loved this home for our recent week of fishing and relaxation at the Jersey Shore. The views are wonderful from everywhere, inside and out. Home is open, spacious, and fully equipped for cooking, reading, and relaxing. You're just a short walk away from the sand and surf. And, our dog Kasey didn't have to be left out as the property is pet friendly. Dealing with the homeowner was smooth sailing all the way. Quick to respond and quite accommodating as well. Didn't take us long at all to decide we'll be back and we are looking forward to our return trip next fall.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
Thanks for such lovely comments. We do aim for "smooth sailing," and we do love to see dogs run and laugh on the beach. And what's a holiday at the beach if you can't cook up a big batch of fisherman's stew in a comfy kitchen? So glad you and Kasey are coming back. Here's to many happy returns!

The minute you enter the house you know you're in for a unique beach experience. Incredible views from every room and all the decks make you want to get up for the sunrise. The beach stretches for miles, that allowed our lab (Salina) to romp and follow her nose to her heart's content. The house has everything you need to make a wide variety of meals and spend hours hanging out despite the weather. There was a snowstorm while we were there and this made walking the beach an invigorating event. Ed stopped by and was a great host providing us with a ton of information on the local scene. We'll be back.

Dear Dan and Joyce and Salina, Thanks for the kind words and we're thrilled you schlepped all the way from New Hampshire to enjoy our beachy keen Linden Cottage. Thanks also for the growler of Brown Pig Ale from your local craft brewery. Next time you're here, make sure you visit Slack Tide and Tuckahoe and Ludlum Island, our 3 very groovy local beer makers. We happen to have an empty growler you can use! PS: How'd you make out with that jigsaw puzzle?

waves of relaxation!

Truly enjoyed this location and house. The views and sounds of the water from the house are wonderful. The beach is easily accessible. The house was very comfortable. Quite enjoyed the long window seat. Perfect place to sit, read, and gaze out on the beach when it was cold or rainy. Kitchen is outfitted with lots of pots and utensils, and room! Had plenty of tools at our disposal to cook up a yummy meal or two. If you go during the offseason be prepared for a lack of dining choices, particularly during the week and in Strathmere. There are places to be found in Sea Isle and Ocean City but they aren't plentiful. It was a quiet getaway for us and I can see it being a great option for a larger group during peak season. Enjoyed some of the personal touches including the the CD collection and variety of books. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and I'd recommend this to anyone. From A to Z, the owner was extremely responsive and thorough with communications.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
Many thanks for staying with us, and for browsing the library. We love the idea of laying about with the ocean in your ears and falling into the trance of a good book. And yes, during the "offseason," which some of us call "the bestest time of the year at the beach," it's a good thing to wanna cook up a storm. That's entertainment enough for us.

Beyond Wonderful!

We have just returned home from a one week, off season stay at Linden Cottage. The rental home is so comfortable and clean. The ocean views from every angle are a plus. Part of my week was spent with friends; the remainder with family as we celebrated our daughter's birthday. It was perfect for both groups. Ed was supportive - there was a Nor'easter that hit points N and NW - Strathmere experienced only heavy winds and rain, but there was no question about being able to be there through the storm action even tho it turned out to be relatively tame. We truly enjoyed looking out at the tall, strong waves during the storm. And we enjoyed walking the beach. The kitchen is equipped - I can't think of one kitchen tool or appliance that was missing! The property is pet friendly - it was so nice to take our dog. The location is perfect! We look forward to returning. I must say that Ed gets five stars for VRBO ownership - from beginning to end he was responsive and available for any questions. We look forward to returning to this "Strathmere Diamond."
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
What can I say, we're in the happiness business! Seriously, this really floats our boat whenever we hear how much people love it here in the so-called "off season." And yes, there's nothing better than hunkering down with the fireplace sizzling and pot roast roasting and the storm a'raging outside. Come back soon when the water's swimmable! Thanky.

So nice we booked it twice!

My husband and I booked this cottage the week after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful week walking the beach. The weather was still nice and we basically had the beach to ourselves. Ed and Lyn are great hosts and the house is set up like your home away from home. We cooked many great meals in the well stocked kitchen while listening to the extensive CD collection. Can’t wait to go back next year!

Perfect place to spend a week!

This was our second vacation at Linden Cottage in 2018, and both stays were just wonderful. Our first visit in March just happened to coincide with a nor’easter that blew up the East Coast. Although the winds were howling and the snow was blowing outdoors, we were warm and cozy indoors next to the gas stove. The beach looked so beautiful buried under a blanket of snow and we enjoyed watching the wild surf. There were very few folks around, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We’ve just returned from our second stay and had just as much fun as the first time. Although the weather in the early part of the week was a bit wet, the week finished strong with abundant sunshine and we spent lots of time sitting on the beach and up on the house deck. Strathmere is a quaint little town and there are a number of restaurants, all within walking distance. The home has pretty much everything you need (except linens) and the owners are a pleasure to deal with. With its open floor plan and walls of windows, it’s a super place to gather with family and friends in any season. We love the fun, kitschy decor (it’s always 5 o’clock there) and the vast collection of interesting books and music cds. The best part is that the home is pet-friendly, so we were able to include our spoiled-rotten BFF in our vacation plans. We definitely plan to return in 2019! Thanks, Ed and Lyn!

Dear Sue and all the Tilleys, We are so pleased you were able to enjoy all the aspects of a week in our happy little beach house. We love it when the wind is howling and we love it when the sun is shining. We love it when the ocean is roaring and when it's calm like a lake. And we love when people come and enjoy the house and leave it so nice. Thanks for telling the world about your good time and we'll look forward to your return.

PERFECTION BY THE JERSEY SHORELINE!

Clean, beautiful, spacious and overall awesome!! The owner, Ed, had great correspondence timing and was very helpful. We loved that the charm of the home included books, music & a very well stocked kitchen. We are so thankful for the experience of not only being able to afford the rental, but it was located within a 2-3 hour driving distance from all of the sites we wished to visit while there on vacation. We live in Florida and we were able to see NYC, Cape May (to watch whales & dolphins play out in the Atlantic), Philadelphia, Amish Country, Washington D.C., Atlantic City as well as the quiet (this time of year) town of Strathmere. With the affordability of Linden Cottage, we were able to do so much and make wonderful memories for our 5 kids that they'll never forget and always cherish. Our pup Raylen even enjoyed his stay. This was by far our favorite vacation yet. Thanks, Ed, for helping us be able to mark several things off of our "Bucket Lists". Hope to come back someday and just spend the actual week at the beach house and rest up. We were on the go so much that I feel we need a vacation in bed for a week now LOL. AWESOME LOCATION!!! Loved the sunrises!! Cheers

The little oil gem you left for us, featuring the Band of Venus across the ocean's sunrise horizon, is gorgeous and is now hanging among other guests' paintings in our spiral staircase gallery!

Our off-season retreat!

Spouse and I and our two dogs have been staying here for a few years now for the winter solstice through the new year. Going back this off-season for a February week also. I've never been a fan of blazing hot sun and bodies lying all over the beach - just give me the quiet to hear the waves breaking and gulls calling all day long. The beach access is right in front of you and dogs are allowed to go walking on the beach with you in the off-season. For the birders, there are world class wetland and beach trails all less than 30 minutes away - Cape May to the south, Forsythe Wildlife Refuge to the north, Belleplain Forest to the west, and lots of local walks closer to home. The house itself has lots of open space and everything we need. We cook a lot because the kitchen is equipped, but also because it's fun to cook and gaze at the ocean! Evenings are wonderful with wireless internet, sound system, television, books, puzzles, and cast iron gas fireplace.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2020
We love that our cottage has become a home for your new years' traditions. And we'll always be on the lookout for the return of our snowy owl for you. Thanks so much! (Let us know how to make your cooking more fun. We relish a well-stocked kitchen.)

Wonderful Ocean Cottage

What a wonderful cottage! My wife, son, german shepherd and I had a wonderful time at Linden Cottage. The house was spacious, cozy, had wonderful views, was within close walking distance to the beach and provided a manageable (15 minute) car/ bike ride to both Ocean City and Sea Isle City. In addition, my personal dealings with the property owner were wonderful! I highly recommend this property to anyone who needs some R&R in a quiet and beautiful setting. The house was fully ready for all our needs including a fully stocked kitchen, two beautiful bathrooms, a plethora of sleeping arrangements along with beautiful decks with ocean views on both the first and second floors.
