About this property

Unbelievable Sunsets On Back Bay

My home is perfect for getting away or going out to socialize. The house is cleaned by professional cleaners ensuring everything is totally disinfected before your arrival. You can enjoy sitting on the bay soaking up the sun by day and dining out on the lit-up dock, while the sun sets at night.

This beach house has a classic eclectic charm with breath-taking views. This is a single home that sits on the water. The home sleeps six total. There are two bedrooms, one with a full-sized bed and another with a full-size futon bed. In addition, the living room has a pullout queen-size sofa bed.

New for 2022 is an Outdoor Shower – Hot and Cold Water !!!! New Sleeper Sofa and Loveseat!!! New AC, in the bedroom. New Gas Grill. A mobile tray desk and pop-up work station, for remote workers.

The backyard has a large sun lounging deck and a quaint dock that sits on the water with a covered gazebo. Children and adults will love fishing and crabbing from the dock. 2 Crab pots are provided. Bird lovers will enjoy viewing the nesting osprey and the frequent sightings of blue heron and white egrets, especially in September.

Whether high or low tide, you will enjoy the serene atmosphere. Order take-out from one of the many restaurants in Stone Harbor, Avalon, and Cape May Court House or cook up your own dinner out back on the grill (gas grill provided) and enjoy outdoor dining on the lit decks with incredible views. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials for entertaining. TV, cable, DVD, and high-speed Internet are provided. A two-person kayak is available for use.

The house is only two miles from Stone Harbor’s famous beach. A 4-minute car ride or a 15 min walk, to the many wonderful shops and restaurants in town

cottage on the water

It was a wonderful stay. We loved the cottage, the location. Geri, the host was very accomadating. I loved the original interior, old eclectic furnishings, perfect bay side, very good feel. If you like old beach feel, this is the place. Only negative, top bunk too tight for anyone but a child. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect!

We loved our stay!! The property was perfect for us. We esp loved the outdoor patio, dock, swing & covered area/picnic table on the dock. It was so enjoyable to have our meals right there while taking in the warm ocean breeze. The blue crabbing was amazing! We caught more than we ever have! Also loved the outdoor shower & pretty flowers decorating the landscape. Thank you Geri for a great stay!

Beautiful sunsets

We enjoyed the proximity of this house to town and to the beautiful beaches of Stone Harbor. The house being built next door wasn’t very peaceful. Morning coffee was met with pounding hammers, but not the owners fault , but it would be nice to be aware of when booking a relaxing vacation. The sunsets beautifully by the bay and the distant lights of Wildwood are so pretty at night. The house is small but has everything you need to get by. My kids loved staying there. The outside shower was a hit but keep in mind the workers next door can see right into it so we had to throw paddle boards on top of the shower for privacy. The beach tags were a nice added touch. Owner was very kind.

Incredible View!

We had a very relaxing vacation. The view from the dock is amazing! Geri was very helpful during the check in process. We had a hard time figuring out the microwave. It would be nice if it was replaced with a newer microwave oven. Overall, the place was great and as advertised.

So cute!

Geri was a fabulous host! Her house is super cute and was a perfect size for us. The only thing that bothered us was the construction on the house next door that they are building. But that is out of her control. We really enjoyed our stay at Geris place so thank u!

Excellent Stay in Cape May!

We booked this as a family vacation and really enjoyed our stay. Geri made us feel like we were home. This is centrally located to everything around that we wanted to do. The house was cozy and even included beach passes which is a definite plus. Geri was a fantastic host to our family and look forward in staying again in the future.

Stone Harbor Back Bay Cottage

Geri was great and we enjoyed our stay. Loved bird watching and relaxing on the back bay. There was construction next door but hopefully that will be done soon for the next renters. Otherwise great little house with a cool kids room and great outside space with a cool covered deck right on the bay channel! Thanks!

Terrible experience

Due to covid pandemic we took a trip with family for the first time and stayed at this place . It’s very small place so my kids were really disappointed as they were expecting something more bigger and nicer as advertised on website . On first night we found out the sofa bed is broken , we contacted the owner she send her daughter to inspect it and told us it might have happened due to family staying before us . We were sleeping on the floor for the stay . When we checked out I asked us if she can refund some of the money as a courtesy and she replied she will look into it . 1 week later when I texted her about follow up , she texted me that we didn’t clean the sheets ( we used our own blankets and sheets throughout the stay ) , sofa cover missing , and wire basket is missing which we don’t have any clue about since we didn’t see any of them . Not only that she sends me extra bill for $275 to cover for this things and not a single word for refund of any money for broken sofa which was her own responsibility. Worst experience ever .

Great place to relax and unwind.

Spent a lot of time outdoors sitting on the dock watching the girls catch crabs and putting them back in. Was a good location for us because each day we were going to a different place to explore. Even though we didn’t cook kitchen equipped well. Our host gave us suggestions on where to eat and places to go. Had a nice time.

Beautiful property. lovely hostess

I stayed a week with my almost 9 year old daughter and found everything we could’ve possibly needed. We adored the charm of this house and kayaking up and down the bay. The neighborhood was quiet and so close to everything. Our hostess was lovely and thorough. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

It will do

It will do, is a plaque that is out by the dock so I thought it would be funny to have the title say that. It more than does what he needs to do. it’s very relaxing I love watching the tides go in and out. The house has a very seashore atmosphere. The wildlife keeps you busy for quite some time as there is so much to look at. Geri is wonderful to work with. We had a lovely time with this place could not have asked for better it’s certainly will do.

Family summer vacation

Geri is a great host and her place is clean and homey. We have a great time crabbing and resting at the back patio. Neighbors are great too, he gave us some fish bait and tips to get more crabs. Stone Harbor beach is awesome as well as the surrounding places. Nice place to spend family time and unwind away from hustle and bustle of the city

A lovely get-away!

Gerri’s property was adorable—clean and comfortable for me and my two friends on our girls’ getaway to the beach! We loved having lazy mornings with our coffee on the dock, where we sighted all sorts of interesting birds and animals. The beach, beautiful Cape May, the boardwalk of Wildwood, and plenty of wineries, restaurants, etc, were in close distance. Gerri was a wonderful hostess as well—easy to contact, receptive, and so welcoming. We had a great time!

Memorial Day 2021

Our stay on the bay was fantastic. Geri is such a gracious and prepared host. The house was so cozy and is all you need and more when staying by the beach. The dock and backyard were our favorite part of our trip and where we spent most of our time when the weather allowed! We were only a couple min ride to the beach or to the parkway if we wanted to go to another shore point. Geri was always available to us for any questions we had during our stay. Even though we had some cold, stormy weather we were close enough to the town of Stone Harbor to shop and go see a movie in their Harbor Theatre. Would definitely rent again!

Relaxing waterfront house

This is a great place to go if you’re looking to get away. Close enough to multiple beach towns that you can find something to do, but far enough away that you feel secluded and relaxed at the house. Very cute and very relaxing to sit on the water. Geri laid everything out for us at check in and we had an amazing time!

Absolutely adorable place, loved our stay

We adored staying at Geri's house. The house was very clean, well equipped (kitchen utensils, cookware, bathroom accessories...) and beautifully decorated. There were three AC window units, which was way more than we needed to cool the entire place. The deck and pier were so pretty and enjoyable... We spent a lot of time there admiring the view, kayaking or grilling. A neighbor helped us catch crabs and even seasoned them for us! The house is also very well located, in a quiet area of Stone harbor (no noise at night) but very close to the beach. We also visited Wildwood and Cape May, which were a short drive away. We really recommend Geri's house for a romantic getaway like this. Also she was very nice to us and responded promptly to all our questions.
