Looking for a great space by the Bay? Here it is!

A very short walk to the beach and a very quick ride to downtown Cape May and shopping at Rio Grande. We had a terrific time staying here. Nels was a great host, always available, and he made sure our stay went smoothly. The dogs jumped at every chance to zoom around the huge back yard and we all enjoyed breakfast on the deck every morning. Bring a sling hammock or two (the trees in the back are perfectly set apart), a couple of GCI folding chairs for the deck, relax and enjoy!

Cousins trip

We had a sisters and cousins Girl's Trip to Cape May. We were very happy to find a nice house with 5 bedrooms to accommodate us. The living space was great for unwinding together at the end of the day. The outdoor area was so large and comfortable! We were happy to be so close to the Bay; some of us can't walk far, but this was a perfect stroll. The Host was very quick to answer any questions.

Great house near bay!

We had a good time at this rental. If you lean out the front deck, you can see the water. If the crickets aren't going crazy, you can hear the waves. It's a large, spacious house (which the kids loved) with a unique floor plan (keep in mind that one of the bedrooms is a walk-through room). The master suite is really nice, it's one of the reasons we chose this location. Plus, the large closed-in yard was great for the kids to run around. There is a drawer of kitchen towels and wash clothes. There's an extra table and some folding chairs in a closet. It has most of the kitchen stuff/gadgets you'll need. The house was clean enough, I'd give it a 8/10. About the only minor annoyance with the house itself, is that you have to walk outside, down a flight of stairs to get into the garage to do your laundry. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The owner is good with communication. All-in-all, it's worth a repeat and it's understandable why this place is popular!

Unique home a block off the Delaware Bay beach

A great place to stay with plenty of room to spread out. We could walk down to the bay side beach each day and still have time to drive down to Cape May too. Great decks, outdoor shower and much more. Nels even had additional linens and towels available too.

Cape May Getaway

My family truly enjoyed our week at Nels property in Cape May. The location on the bayside was perfect for our one year old grandson and his six year old brother. Quite a change from the surf and higher waves on the ocean side (but we did pop over there for a couple of days). The house is roomy, comfortable and has a pleasant familiarity with a large outdoor deck. Our golden doodle was a little worried about the stairs but that’s because we only have one set in our home. Daisy adjusted nicely after a couple of days and it was a real joy to have our fur baby with us too! Kudos Nels. We will be back!

Best property in North Cape May!!

Nels is an amazing host and his property is AWESOME! Everything was so clean and ready for us to have fun (bbq, fire pit, huge back yard). The neighbors are fun and welcoming without being nosey. The bay is literally 100yrds away. We feel asleep to the sounds of waves crashing. We saw dolphins from our beach every day at sunset. The sunsets are amazing! The beach was never crowded and we took our golden retriever on it every day. Nels answered texts immediately and although we had no issues Im sure he would have handled them if needed. You need to rent this house!!

Great place to stay with teens and pets

Awesome back yard for our dog and lots of space inside for our teens to spread out! Great tv room and kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and baking. Bay is right down the street with great sidewalks for walking and watching sunsets. Bike trails in the nearby preserve were great. Everything about this place made you feel like you were home. Will stay again!

Amazing location and space for our family and dog!

We had a great time. The location is so quiet and in a sweet, friendly neighborhood. We loved how low-key North Cape May is, and the beach (which is just a two minute walk away) was not crowded at all, with great sand. Also walking distance to a good restaurant and bar. For the dog, the huge fenced yard was fantastic for her, and we loved that we could take her to the beach every morning before 11am and after 4pm each day. We always made it a point to go down and watch the incredible sunsets. We highly recommend! Thanks for a very nice stay!

Perfect for family vacation

Our family had a fabulous time and we were so pleased with the location and all of the accommodations. The house and property were very clean and well appointed. The fully fenced yard was perfect for our two dogs. Communication with Nels from initial inquiry through the end of our stay was superb. He was easy to contact and attentive to and prompt with anything we needed. We look forward to returning. Highly recommend!

Awesome house!

The house was beautiful and the back yard was perfect. Our puppy enjoyed being able to play in a fenced in yard without worry. There are 4 bedrooms on lower level along with a separate living room…this is perfect for kids and completely separate from the master suite. One of the rooms is a walk-thru so it’s not as private but it has its own bathroom. My daughter actually loved this room. The master suite is on the 3rd level and is amazing. It’s huge! There’s a private balcony and it has a great on-suite bathroom. It’s close to the beach and to Harpoons. We will definitely stay here again!

Great house and close to the beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were thankful the house had an awesome yard for our Chocolate Lab. The house was spacious, clean and had plenty of items one would need in a home away from home. Being a plant person, it was nice having a few live plants in the house. The beach was only about a minute's walk.

A Cape May Diamond

Nels Johnson's beautiful vacation home is a Cape May diamond! The house is thoughtfully decorated with some of his family's nautical history and beach decor. We felt very welcomed and a part of Cape May's community during our stay. We enjoyed taking our dog for walks on the bay to look for treasures, photograph wildlife like dolphins and crabs, and watch perfect sunsets. We also kayaked in nearby wetlands, visited the Wildwood boardwalk and beach, shopped at the Washington Mall, and dined at nearby Harpoon's By the Bay. We also highly recommend Bella Vida Garden Cafe for breakfast! This house is only a very short drive to everything, has a partial view of the bay from the master suite, is dog friendly with a fenced in yard, and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Nels is a wonderful host and responded quickly to my questions. The only thing that would have made our stay better is if we could have stayed longer!

Epic Family Vacation

Our three generation family of eight spent a wonderful long weekend in this perfectly situated home a block from the Delaware Bay. The house offered clean and spacious living quarters with privacy for grandparents as well as for the young family of six. We had plenty of room to make meals in the kitchen snd all be seated at the dining table together. While we didn’t spend too much time in the beautiful living room, we very much enjoyed our private decks and fire pit area in the well manicured, shady and totally fenced in backyard where our dog had room to run and play with the children.

April North Cape May Get Together

We so enjoyed staying at this house with our friends and dog. The house was spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. The backyard patio and fire pit area was very nice with a lot of seating. The neighborhood was quiet, and the house was a short one block walk to the beach/bay. The sunsets were incredible, too. It is a short two block walk to Harpoons on the Bay which is a lovely restaurant across from the Bay. We would book this house again.
