    A great property that was spacious enough for five couples and a single friend. Super close to the bay beach and had an awesome stacked shed full of things to do on the beach and otherwise. Really cool amenities outside as well. Hosts were communicative and friendly. Would stay again!

    We had a fantastic time at this property. It had everything we were looking for. Many unique rooms and books and crannies with multiple open areas and a kitchen with just the right of separation yet connectedness. Many sleeping areas and beds. Enough for everyone! And we really loved the backyard habitat yard as well with much to explore and do including a gazebo and fire pit. And it was close to everything and walking distance to bay Beach and nature preserve. Hosts were very attentive and responsive. Thankfully they reminded us to provide our own bedsheets and bathroom towels as we would have been underprepared on that front. We may well be back!

    Really cool place to stay right near the bay shore. We stayed in the winter so didn't get to experience the beach or the water, but the house was great. Really comfortable and close enough to everything Cape May has to offer. The hosts were very responsive and all information needed was provided well in advance of our stay.

    Beautiful property. Tons of space for the family and dogs to enjoy. The fully enclosed and gated balcony was a major bonus with my very excited dogs who ran out the door the minute it was opened. The house is fully stocked with all the appliance and tableware needs. We would definitely book and stay again.

    Lovely house with beautiful wrap around porch. Conveniently located to the beach with a short 5 minute walk with very little traffic. Host was very responsive with clear communication. Beach not crowded at all and amazing sunsets!

    There were high expectations to get there and relax. Unfortunately, I spent the first night cleaning due to ants, toilets were dirty, dirt on the floors and chairs, hair, insect and food crumbs. The next morning we left early because the cleaners had to come back and redo what they had done It was more stress than relax. I was able to request our checkout to be moved to 12 which is a much better time than trying to rush out at 10. There are no closets to hang cloths, the twin beds and the sleeper sofas downstairs are attached to the main floor bedroom and there is no privacy in that room..The loft is a cute space but would need a railing added as a safety measure to keep you from accidentally falling down through the hole. The lights and fountain were off when we tried to relax after 3 hrs of cleaning. Those were turned on, on Saturday. I was told that I could spray or put Ant gel down to treat the ants. No type of refund or discount was offered. The only pictures that I have are of the dirt and ants. The house is cute, good location, needs to be checked after the cleaners say theyve done their job especially for the price. I did gave contact sith Patti and customer service. I hope the ne t people that stayed had the house clean as I vacuumed and wiped down everything before we left.

    Overall good house for multiple families. Kitchen was well-stocked, ample and comfortable rooms, good bathrooms. The spiral staircase is a challenge for small children - we covered the outside with a mesh to make it safer. The gated porch was good for children. We were unable to use the kayaks due to leaks/needing cleaning.

    The house was amazing. So many places to sit back and relax and hang out with the family. We enjoyed a walk in the preserve and walks along the beach. We can’t wait to come back.
