About the host

Host profile image
We fell in love with this house at first sight, and hope you will too! It's perfect for people who love the mountains and the beach! We've been coming to Cape May for many years with our 4 kids and can recommend many fun and unique places to go.

Why they chose this property

A truly unique shore property with the quiet and seclusion of the mountains, and just minutes to all the fun and excitement of the shore.

What makes this property unique

Mountains meet the beach in this one of a kind rental. 1 1/2 blocks to the bay beach and the Cox Hall nature preserve. 10 minute drive to Cape May beaches, restaurants and shops. Short drive to Cape May Zoo, many local wineries and the Cape May Brewery. There are also several good local restaurants, Wawa, drugstores, and Acme within a 5 minute drive from house.

From Philly and New York - best bet is to get to 55 South and then follow 55 South to 47 - 347 -47. After the Acorn Campground sign, make a right off of 47 onto Bayshore. Bayshore has a sharp left at the blinking lights, and then you will see the water tower "Best Sunsets in the World". Keep following Bayshore through the little town of Villas. Pass the WaWa and CVS. At the ACE Hardware store, make a right onto Village. Go to the end of Village and make a left on Bay Drive. In about a mile, make a left on Delview. We are second house on the left. If you are going down on a Saturday in the summer, PLAN ON LEAVING EARLY (pack the night before). We highly highly recommend getting on Route 55 by 8:00 or 8:30 AM to beat some of the traffic and then having breakfast at Uncle Bill's Pancake house once you get to Cape May/Villas area.
