Wonderful time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was roomy and comfortable with everything we needed. The porch overlooking the pond was quiet and relaxing. The bay was a short walk away and the nearby nature preserve was great for fishing and quiet walks along the trails. A quick drive to the beach and downtown Cape May was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Great spot to rent

This is our 3rd stay at this property. And everytime we come down something new has been done from adding deck or nice fencing or concrete work. The owners spend money to keep this place looking good and we always enjoy our stay. A

The property was excellent inside and out. The owners supplied many outdoor games including Cornhole. And plenty of board games. Their tape and CD' collection was enormous. Lisa and John were available when needed. And the beach was just 2-3 blocks away. An easy walk.

We all had a great time! The house was perfect for our stay and very well taken care of and everything we needed was there. I couldn't have found a better location. It was such a short walk to the bay beach and another short walk to Cox Hall (both were our dog's favorite to explore). Everything else was just a short drive away. The side deck was amazing- we spent every second at the house sitting out there. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again.

We had a really nice stay - the house was very comfortable and clean - loved the side porch! Right across from the pond so that was fun and relaxing to watch. Quick walk to the bay and the Cox wildlife preserve nearby where my husband went fishing and I went bike riding. Our pup loved the back yard and the porch. And of course a short ride to Cape May - downtown, beaches, ice cream, restaurants, etc. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Pleasant and comfortable family getaway

We encountered no issues or problems with our stay. Everything was as described. Some things were a little outdated, but in good working order. If you're looking for a nice house close to the beach, but not too close, this is a good one.
