If I oversell it we might have to book elsewhere on our next Villas visit, but that's not fair. The Kraken House house is a superior VBRO stay because 1) it's well appointed with what you'd want for your stay - plenty of dishes, glasses, cooking things2) beds are very comfortable3) very convenient to have towels and linens provided4) should go without saying that it is clean and in good repair, but that's not always the case5) sooo close to beach and cool to get the kayaks & paddleboards in good weather6) THE DECOR is wild and has to be a curated collection7) The hosts were responsive and helpful all along the way.Our extended family each rented Villas places to gather for theThanksgiving holiday so we go to compare places. Kraken was the best one and we held our dinner there. Honestly looking forward to another stay, and it will feel like a holiday at a cool, excentric relative's beach lair. ##### Julie and John C.

Great location, the bay has an entrance at the end of the block. Beautiful sunset views. Kitchen is well equipped with utensils, cookwear, plates, glasses and bowls.

We saw the Kraken house and fell for the charm and unique features. Karen was very helpful as we prepared for our trip. She even offered some advice on new experiences that we had never seen. Check in was easy and it was nice to have access to all of the provided amenities. We were able to cook breakfast most mornings and had access to games which kept us all occupied in the evening, after the baby went to bed. In the busyness of the summer season, we did find some cleaning that was overlooked, under the beds, couches, and cushions, but the kitchen and bathrooms were clean and that was most important to us. We had some fun memories at this house and are thankful for the stay. ##### Shai R. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Altaira H.

The Kraken House was fabulous! Karen was really communicative and made sure to leave us lots of treats. Fully stocked fridge for breakfast and even some delicious spiked seltzer in a gift basket for us! Comfortable and quirky, we had a great Cape May weekend. ##### Deborah S.

Our family of 5 had the most comfortable stay at The Kraken House! The hospitality is endless, from the welcome basket (which included wine!), to the fridge stocked with breakfast items, to all the beach gear you could need! Our kids loved the game system, we grilled some burgers, and played a great round of Cape May-opoly! This home is truly one of a kind and has everything you need. There’s a diner super close that you could walk to and it’s just a quick drive to the Cape May beaches. Karen and Jesse were great hosts! We can’t wait to return! ##### Julie S.

The minute we walk in you see a huge picture of a scene from Jaws.. then as you look around the room you see mermaids and nautical accessories. The master bedroom has a treasure chest with a skeleton and beads overflowing it with gold coins on the floor. The bunk room and kids bedrooms look like you are living in a boat. This place needs to be seen to be appreciated! Mere words cannot fully express its unusual theme. ##### Cheryl S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginny H.

My kiddo got to see the sun drop into the ocean for the first time. That's one of many great moments to remember from this trip. Karen goes above and beyond for her guests - this was truly the best appointed rental I've ever stayed in. Fun decor, ample entertainment (a fun collection of vinyl for GenX nostalgia!), quality linens and pillows, beach toys and towels, generous amount of food in the fridge, and everything we could need in the kitchen. We had a great stay. Thank you, Karen! ##### Ginny H.
