The location is fantastic, making it the perfect spot for my husband, our standard poodle, and me. We felt comfortable and right at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend and would love to return!

Perfect Cape May Experience

The 2 bedroom (dog-friendly) cottage was perfect. The spiral staircase, second-floor sun room, and the roof top seating (on the "main building", gave us feel the seaside experience we were looking for. Ron was great to deal with and supplied us with everything we needed to feel at home.

Charming beachfront cottage

One of our beautiful weeks in Cape May. The cottage was so charming and comfortable. Loved the updated appliances and TVs. Really felt like home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to one of the less crowded beautiful beaches. We did have a chance to meet the owner when we checked in, and he was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Frankly, we were very disappointed with the condition of the outside space of this property. It was in NO way anything like the pictures presented in the VRBO listing. Weeds everywhere, debris and the patio was dirty with weeds growing through the flooring. The entryway likewise was dirty, the screen door had loose screening and weather stripping. Not a good first impression. Cleanliness inside was so-so. Basically the furniture just looks sad and needs to be deep cleaned or replaced. The throw pillows are old and dirty. The kitchen was nice and serviceable, but I couldn’t find any T towels or dishcloths. The coffee pot was indicating it needed to be cleaned. Bedrooms and bathrooms were good. More in-depth instructions for TV in the living room are desperately needed. Just “say what you want to watch” wasn’t very helpful. Communication with the owner was unlike any I’ve ever experienced with a VRBO stay. No welcoming text other than “the keys are ….”A text I sent the evening before our departure and one sent the next day weren’t answered until we were about halfway home!All of these things add up; the rental is overpriced and doesn’t provide the overall situation as advertised. I wish I could give an overall rating as so-so, but okay is the closest choice. Please review my pictures and compare to those in the listing.

Sorry you did not like your stay, hopefully you enjoyed the wine and cookies that were left with your welcome kit. We pride ourselves on our cleaning service and are always updating the cottage. We did not charge you for damage that was done to the property. Hopefully your future stays through VRBO will give you a better experience. Thank you for your comments. Bernadette & Ron

The location of this home is perfect. Warm and inviting spaces. So nice to be able to bring our dogs. Cape May is so unique and so is this home. I didn't realize that we had to bring linens, but Bernadette brought a brand new sheet set over when I inquired about it.
