WATERS EDGE VILLA BEACH FRONT Pet Friendly N.Cape May

The view of the sunset was terrific and being so close to the beach was great for the dog to run and play in the waves!

Gary seems like a great guy—responsive and very kind. The location of his home is beautiful, calm, and charming. The property has a lot of potential, but it does need attention. I was aware from other reviews that it wasn’t in the best condition, but it was still disappointing to find that it had clearly not been cleaned prior to our arrival.The yard was unkempt, with overgrown grass and broken branches and sticks scattered throughout. Inside, there were clear signs of previous occupants—crumbs on the counters, a full trash can, and leftover items like safety caps from soap bottles—which made the space feel less clean and somewhat uncomfortable. I was glad I brought my own toilet paper, paper towels, and soaps, as what was left was insufficient.The furniture had a noticeable amount of white pet hair, including clumps on the floors, and both the carpets and upholstery were heavily stained. We also experienced functional issues: the thermostat was not working (it appears to need a new coil), which my father and husband spent about an hour trying to troubleshoot, the microwave was completely nonfunctional, and the WiFi did not work either.Overall, the condition of the property did not align with the price paid for the stay.

The view of the sunsets are out of this world and my dog can enjoy the bay beach. This is our second time staying here and it is falling apart worse than the last time. It’s hard to beat the views though.

A plus view, D plus conditionRamshackle gem of a cottage located on the bay with glorious sunset views. Be advised old pet stained carpets, brocken blinds, peeling wall paper, dune grass briers stuck in carpets (shoes a must in doors), amazing enclosed porch overlooking the bay if you open the windows and ignore the musty smell. There was coffee left in the pot with scum on the top when we arrived and i let the owner and manager know. We found the vacuum and broom and got most of the grit off the floors. On the plus side, location, location location. Short walk to Harpoons on the Bay...

Location was perfect. The condition of the home was poor, holes in screens ,stains on carpet throughout, stains on furniture. Needs some care,

This house is filthy. We only stayed 2 out of the 4 do to unclean environment and musty smell. I did not want to stay at all but we had nowhere else to go. We were able to find and pay for another place for the last 2 nights. I was afraid to sit on furniture. Almost every blind was broken, sand and dog hair on all over furniture. The bedroom rugs were so filthy and had briars stuck in rugs-shoes were required. Sunroom chairs and rug covered in sand. As you entered the house 3 small rugs were thrown on top of each other and covered in sand. Almost trip over them checking at night. Kitchen towels and comforters were musty and bedcovers stained. Thank goodness I brought my own comforter. I had to vacuum the house and wipe down everything with lysol. A lot of sand and dog hair was vacuumed up. My husband and I were there to celebrate my 60th birthday and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Pictures on website are very misleading. I did reach out to owner on Thursday letting him know the condition of the house and I should at least be reimbursed for cleaning fee since I had to clean. He responded 3 1/2 days later stating he has cleaners and that I should have contacted VRBO for quicker response. He did not address any of the issues I stated above or about refunding the cleaning fee. I paid a lot of money then had to put our more to stay elsewhere.

It is a great location. The house is old and really good us some updates.

Don’t be deceived by the photos. We almost left before starting! First off location is the only plus to this house. This beach house is very run down & outdated! To start our trip we had trouble getting into the house because the 2 doors have keys broken in them and cannot be opened from the outside. Owner thinks a pad lock is a sufficient fix, it is not!!! It took me 20 minutes to just get into the house! We felt very unsafe!!! The yard is full of rusted, broken yard furniture and a grill that can’t be used! The fence the faces the beach that the owner keeps for wildlife is so over grown it’s ridiculous and are 6 feet high so that you can’t even see the bay from the yard & about 5 feet deep into the property. Also took my dog & every time she went into the yard she had burs stuck in her paws that I would have to pull out because she was limping! The bonus of a yard was a ZERO & unusable so I kept her a leash the entire trip. By the clothes line vines and burs everywhere! The steps into the house on both areas are so over grown with weeds and vines that you get grabbed at your ankles going up. The weeds have grown over the steps! Also the door furthest from the beach if you go out it and open it weeds and vines growing from the roof that they hit your head! The carpets in the bedrooms have burs in them so even when inside your feet get poked and beat up! Wallpaper falling of the wall in the queen room and EVERY blind is broken! I would recommend this to enemy!

The location was perfect. Right across the street from the beach, quick walk to Harpoon’s by the bay, and short drives to other Cape May activities. The house was clean, AC is ice cold, great view of the sunsets.

We loved the closeness to the beach! The property was so nice and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs! Gary was very responsive to an issue we had while staying and we really appreciated his care and kindness. We will definitely book here again!

We left without staying. The place was a hot mess. The “lawn furniture and grill” will totally rusted. The door wouldn’t lock. The rugs were covered in pee stains and the place was only slightly better than a shack. I wasn’t going to lay down in one of those beds. Don’t be deceived by Newly Designed. I hate to think what it was like before!!!

The views at this house were incredible. Hands down the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. The location was great, right across from the shore. The beach was quiet and serene. The entire area is dog friendly. Unfortunately, the shoreline was messy and littered with debris and a copious amount dead horseshoe crabs. Upon arrival, the door to the house was not locked. It was not able to be locked. The owner was responsive and responded to us quickly, however he was not helpful in fixing the issues. A deadbolt had to be installed to ensure we could lock the door throughout our stay. The house was dirty. It didn’t appear to be cleaned between us and the previous renters. There was a written review in a book in the house, stating the same things I am and that they refused to stay. Carpets were stained and filled with small sharp objects that cut or splintered our feet. Sticky mouse traps were placed throughout the kitchen. Blinds were all broken. The back door was unable to be used, could only lock from the inside due to a key being broken off inside of lock. I found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers on our third day. We left the next morning, ending our trip early.

For an inside vacation, this was a great place to be inside watching the bay. Had weather been warm, the outside of the property was littered with broken furniture and trash including a toilet. We couldn’t let our dog in the yard without getting burrs in her paws, the overgrown briar bushes were quite painful.If some landscaping and TLC were put into the outside, I would say it was worth the price.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location to watch the sunset and see dolphins playing. We enjoyed our stay once again.
