The house is in a nice neighborhood. We walked to the beach multiple times a day.

The home is clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. The owner responded to messages in a timely manner. The coastal storm Ophelia hindered some of our outdoor activities. The sunsets that we did see were not disappointing and very easy to get to! We visit Cape May every year at this time and enjoy everything it offers. The bay area (Townbank) has become our go to place.

Perfect for our family

The house was comfortable, clean, and spacious enough for us and our adult kids. Walkable to the bay beach and Harpoons. We love staying in beautiful Town Bank.

Great location for beach lovers!

Our family had a great stay in Cape May. We enjoyed the beach most days (even spotted some dolphins). The house was spacious and clean with all you ask for in the kitchen. We brought our dog who liked the yard (be aware that small dogs could escape from under the fence in a few spots). Overall a fun week in a comfortable home!

Great house by the bay

We stayed at the property August 12-19. The house itself was very family and pet friendly. We loved that it was on a block from the bay beach. The first night we went to the beach to watch the sunset and it was lovely. Our Labrador loved the fenced in yard! There were, however, a few areas of confusion. We were aware that we needed to bring our own sheets and towels. However, we didn’t realize that we needed to bring our own pillows and blankets as well. We spent the first hour after check in buying six pillows at a local department store. When I rechecked the listing, the owners description did state that pillows and blankets were not included. However, the VRBO listing said that linens and towels were not included, but did not mention blankets and pillows were not included. Either way, it is a hassle to pack all of these things for three bedrooms and six adults! Considering check-in is not until 4 PM (which seems late and left a little time in the house before our first day was over ) and check out is at 10 AM that leaves six hours during which of it would’ve been entirely possible to provide these things, considering there’s a washer and dryer on premises. Also, we thought that cable TV was provided. In actuality, it was a smart TV with streaming services that we had to use our own accounts if we wanted to access movies or television. Overall though-we had a wonderful vacation in a beautiful location and would recommend this rental.👍

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Gioquindo

I've been coming down here since the late 1980's when I met my husband staying at his parents home not to far from this home. My kids grew up coming down here every summer.

Now we live here year round. Moved here from the Hudson Valley region of New York in 2013. I am a wine blogger and educator known as The Hudson Valley Wine Goddess. So I can give you some good wine suggestions.

I love it down here. There's nothing like the beach and this area there is so much to do and see. My kids grew up coming down here, so we've done everything from the adult thing to the kid thing to the local thing.

In 2021 we opened a restaurant in North Wildwood called Trio North Wildwood. We invite all our guests to the restaurant during their stay.

Why they chose this property

One of the most important considerations for us was that the house we purchase had to be within one block from the bay. There is nothing like walking down to the bay to kayak, paddle board and then later in the day with a glass of wine to watch the sunset. We've made Cape May our home, we want you to make it your home for a week.

What makes this property unique

Just steps from the bay beach. This home was built in 2008 and was barely lived in. We pride ourselves giving you a nice vacation home to make wonderful memories in.

Every guest receives a nice bottle of wine and a 20% off discount to dine at Trio North Wildwood
