Overall ok
While the house was super cute, we did experience some issues during our stay. There was broken glass in the backyard and the grass was overgrown. The metal screen door frame had been cut to fit a handle leaving exposed metal corners which cut one of the guests. And there wasn’t any soap in the bathrooms and the washing machine was broken. There were a few other issues as well. When we expressed our concerns we were dismissed and told no one else had complained. While Denise responded quickly, she was not receptive to our concerns. We had little kids on the property and we chose this place but were unable to use many of the “features” of the house. It is not a house I would return to.

Stay in the villas
Great location for proximity to the beach and other shore towns. We enjoyed some mini golf and grilling.Plenty of room for us all. The oven and stove should be looked at as they didn’t seem to be functioning properly.

Very walkable spot close to the beach on the bay to watch beautiful sunsets! The stairs to the upper floor was too narrow so be careful going up and down them. Water was warm to swim in albeit a bit muddy and too shallow at low tide. Delicious dining options not too far from the rental and it felt very safe wherever we went. There was only 1 indoor dining table for eating and it crammed only 4 people into a tight corner. Our two families with young kids visited the Cape May zoo which was not only free but excellent. The beds were small and loud as they had plastic covers on all the mattresses however they provided multiple (twin sized) brand new air mattresses. Having a brand new set of washer and dryers came in handy for us. They provided so many extras like garlic powder, salt, pepper, oils, brand new towels pots pans wine glasses, beach toys, 2 adult bicycles 🚲 and the list goes on. While we wished it could’ve been a bit bigger inside (we had a big family) this rental could easily accommodate 2 small families. Everything was recently renovated inside and freshly painted as well.Thank you for hosting us we made some great family and friends’ memories!
