Mountain House at the Beach! Dog Friendly, Short Walk to the Beach.

Amazing, peaceful home! If we could give it 10 stars we would!

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.

Great rental! The hosts were very accommodating and got right back to us when we had questions. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area! House has a nice layout for entertaining.

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.

Wonderful experience for a relaxing long weekend in Cape May.

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.

House was perfect, location was great. WholeFamily had a blast!

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.

We absolutely loved staying at this property, the house and the grounds, beautifully maintained and shady; nice to sit in the gazebo or near the fire pit outside. The only downside are the mosquitos at dusk... bring bug spray of sure. There were 6 of us but he house could easily fit more. The location was great, a 5 minute walk to the bay beach where you can relax, swim, kayak and watch peaceful sunsets. If you drive down to the Lost Fisherman's memorial near the Nature center on Delaware Ave, you can also watch the sunrise. The house is a short drive to the ocean beach in Cape May town where parking was relatively easy with the parking app and the house owner included beach tags for us to use so the town beach access was free for 6 of us; a nice bonus. The house also has everything stocked for a comfortable stay (AC, washer/dryer, grill, fire pit, bikes, kayaks, beach chairs/umbrellas). The bike ride along the shore was beautiful and peaceful in the mornings. This was our first time on Cape May but it's probably not our last. Thanks to Jim and Patti. Jim was easily reached when we had questions and helped out with minor things. Overall, 5 stars for sure!

Spent 5 days with my family and our dog. The house was great and shady (a plus). There was enough space for everyone to spread out (when needed). The wrap around porch , with gates was perfect for my dog to walk around and we didn't have to worry about her getting loose. The Gazebo in the back was a nice escape at night to enjoy the outside and not deal with any mosquito's. The house provided enough activities to keep everyone busy including bikes, to ride through the preserve, kayaks and paddle boards to take to the bay, a short walk from the home. Overall we were very pleased with the house and would highly recommend.

The house was the perfect setting for a family vacation. It was spacious and gave opportunity to either gather (which we did the whole time!) Or there are plenty of areas inside and out that you can find your private space. The beach chairs and umbrellas were basically new and in great shape (not rusty) and there were plenty of beach toys for our grand daughter to play with.

Such a unique property/home. The biggest surprise for me was the outdoor shower! Perfect after a day at the beach. Some of us walked the bay beach morning and night. Mosquitoes were around, but oh, well. It's summer. All ammenities were as described. We experienced a malfunction with the Pack 'n Play. After a phone call to Jim, we had a replacement that day. Should we visit Cape May in the future, we will definitely reserve another stay.

Nice house on wooded lot. Walk/Bike to Cox Nature Preserve and Delaware Bay beach. Nice backyard with grill and fire pit. Everyone enjoyed the house layout and location.

I recently stayed at Shady Arbor with a group of friends (and two dogs), and we had a spectacular time! The place itself is amazing, and ideal for a group of adults and/or families. There is so much space to spread out and relax between meals and trips to the beach. Walkable to a small, private bay beach AND a quick drive to Cape May, it's ideal for a fun time at the shore. Patti and Jim are excellent hosts, as well; check-in and check-out were simple, and were incredibly communicative throughout our stay. I can't say enough nice things about Shady Arbor! Would 100% stay again.
