Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jessica P. Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in While Susan was incredibly polite and responsive, the overall concept of renting through VRBO is for the owner to, for the most part, be invisible. We were stunned by a text saying that she would be waiting for us to arrive at her house for check in; the day of, we got a follow up text asking for our ETA. Then, the next day we got another text asking if everything was going ok. Again, this was polite, but not what we want on a vacation—we felt like we were being micromanaged. As for the property, it was underwhelming. The house definitely needs updating. There is a terrible smell permeating throughout the house. (I think it’s mothballs.) The beds were uncomfortable, the bathrooms were not clean, the towels are very old, and some of the dishes in the cupboards were dirty. There were also several spiders hanging in webs throughout the house. The outside deck, however, was nice and had several seating choices. Nevertheless, we ended up leaving a day early because we were so uncomfortable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e2d4f37-47f0-4e65-918d-9fd78a2db436-1749751528006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbccae83-044d-40cf-b295-3c25052913ed-1749751528012.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce735ed2-2c07-4e91-8606-dfeb83cb1a9d-1749751528055.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2326af9e-d356-43a3-814e-1f9043c84e3a-1749751528128.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica P.

You can’t beat this location and sunset views. The deck and stairs right down to the beach make it an ideal spot for everyone- including your pet! Highly recommend this home as we had one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations. Easy to get to local food stores, restaurants and the center of Cape May. The host was extremely accessible from the time we inquired about this home until we left. A home run for everyone! ##### Renee K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristie L. Sep 18, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Hidden lease requirement, unsafe stairs leading to beach, overall not good value for money The positives: The view from the back deck is stunning. It was nice sitting on the deck in the mornings and at sunset. I was happy that the property is dog friendly and that dogs are allowed on the beach 24/7. The bed in the master bedroom is a king size and very comfortable. Despite this, there are quite a few negatives to make people aware of: The homeowner contacted me asked me to cancel my booking through VRBO and pay her directly for the rental (I refused to do this). Less than a week before my stay began she called again and told me I had to sign a separate lease even though I paid in full through VRBO and the booking was non-refundable. VRBO confirmed that they allow their renters to do this. This listing should clearly state that a separate lease will need to be signed - especially since the booking is non-refundable. The steps leading down to the beach are extremely unstable, narrow, and steep with railings placed too high to assist you in getting down the stairs. During our stay one of the steps completely gave way and thankfully no one was injured. The owner came the following day to put in a temporary fix and stated that new stairs would be built next summer but I recommend they put in new steps before renting this property to anyone else. The homeowners have not provided any beach items - there are no beach chairs, beach umbrellas, or even beach towels. There is a yellow kayak pictured which we thought we could use but there's a note on the refrigerator saying that it cannot be used. This is disappointing for a beachfront property to offer nothing for the beach. When we arrived at the check-in time of 4pm the property wasn't ready and it took an additional 30 min for the owners to finish cleaning and leave, so the linen fee and "professional cleaning fee" are egregious, especially since they also asked that we strip the beds and start a load of laundry for the towels upon leaving the property. The listing says it sleeps 8 people and this is not true, not just because there aren't enough beds for 8 people, but also because when signing the separate lease the owner said the maximum amount of people she allows on the property is 6. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom is very uncomfortable. The above combined with old fixtures throughout the house and no real hospitality made this a disappointing stay and not value for money. ##### Kristie L.

Oct 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views We loved the location and the views were incredible. We had direct access to the beach and the bay. The place is very nice with lots of light. There were only two critiques. No bathroom door on the master bathroom. The biggest problem was the WIFI was the worst I have ever experienced. We had teens that were planning to have virtual school via Zoom but they couldn’t do it due to weak bandwidth. Netflix also froze as well several times. ##### Mark B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Serena M.

Wonderful beachfront house with direct access to an almost "private" shallow beach, which is perfect for young kids/toddlers. It does not get any better to be able to walk out the backyard, down the steep stairs (but manageable), then walk on the smooth sand beach for the sunsets. The house itself and amenities are "gently used" but everything is fully functional. The AC works great and remove most of the humidity from the ocean. Plenty of towels to spare which was important since kids tend to drag sand throughout the house. Overall, memorable stay and would return again! ##### Serena M.

This home has views that will relax your mind and soul. The deck has a table to have meals on but they need new chairs. There is an inside dining room that has beautiful accommodations and full surround ocean bay views. The grill on the deck worked nicely. The kitchen is fully equipped with beautiful stoneware dinnerware and utensils...cookware to prepare meals and modern, clean appliances. Living room is spacious and has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the beautiful bay. The only con is that the steps to the beach need to be replaced. They are treacherous. Very steep and no sides if you were to misstep...you are going right over and it's high up. Beach is quiet, clean and beautiful. You will want to be on it everyday. Water temps in Sept were 74F...gorgeous. you can walk out a few hundred feet in the water and only be waste deep. So great for soaking and relaxing out in the water. Saw many people using SUP boards and kayaks. They supply 1 kayak. SUP boards would be nice for the owners to supply and 1 more kayak so 2 people could go out together. Beautiful neighborhood. Lastly take out food from Seafood and Fancy...3 mins away...is fantastic. Try the crab stuffed mushrooms and coconut fried shrimp! ##### Mason G.
