We came here with our two kids and had a lovely stay. The property is beautiful and very conveniently located. The host was really friendly and helped us with our questions and check-out. Highly recommend this place!
I would stay here all summer if I could. Amazing place, close to all beaches. Great food. The house itself has everything you need. Walmart is 15 mins away.
A wonderful, clean, well equipped home with all the amenities to keep a family happy: wi-fi access, cable TV, a game room, beautiful outdoor deck, outdoor shower and more. There is plenty of room for six people to be comfortable.
I chose this cottage again because of its location, cleanliness and conveniences. The kitchen is well stocked with just about everything you need for cooking. My grandkids and I love staying here. The owner is always available and responds promptly. This property is a keeper on my repeat usage list.
My husband, two small children and I had a fabulous stay here. The property had everything we needed for a fun beach vacation. The short walk to the bay was ideal for our two young children and the bay was great for them (much calmer than the ocean). We would love to stay here again!
Greatly enjoyed stay at NCM. The house is very well maintained and had everything we needed and more. We loved location, very nice, friendly and quiet nighborhood. And of course wonderful sunsets and Harpoons on the Bay.
What an amazing time. House was bigger than I expected. Cape May was amazing, this house was 12mins away from so many different beaches and activities. Dolphin watching, the sunset at sunset beach, there was north cape may beach, the trolley in cape may, Walmart in rio grande. The host was also amazing, any question during my stayed she always responded in a timely fashion. Can’t wait to come back.
Property was clean and very close to the bay beach. We neglected to bring our own sheets but made due for the night.
So convenient to the bay beach for a walk in the morning, or to watch the sunset. The passes Denise provided for the Cape May beach were much appreciated too!
Very nice place, the location was really nice. You can walk to the beach but it was kind of stinky down there. House had everything you needed. Had to wash comforter on bed because it was smelly. Enough room for all 6 of us. There is only 1 bathroom which made it a little inconvenient at times.
The small yard, the smell of the lavender growing around the deck and the easy beach access made for a perfect weekend away with kids. The bay beach is calm and clean and a short walk. Would definitely return.
The house was clean and comfortable, and had a very well equipped kitchen.We enjoyed using the outdoor grill. However, not having sheets, towels & washcloths provided (I found a rental company at an added expense) and extra rules about having to remake the beds, wash and put back all kitchen and beach towels and dishes, take out the trash, etc. before we left was an added stress at checkout time. Just less convenience than we're used to with VRBO.
Denise's place was fantastic, exactly as described. Place was extremely clean and very well maintained, all of the kitchen essentials were provided, couches and beds were comfortable, outdoor area was spacious and well maintained. Denise even provided a goodie bag with trash bags, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent pods and some snacks. Perfect location close to bay beach (2 blocks, easily walkable) and Denise even provide 6 beach tags to the Cape May beach only a short drive away. The basement was a huge bonus, large room with sectional couch, tv, card table, and beds for extra sleeping space! Denise's place exceeded my expectations and I plan on booking again in the future if available!
This was our second time staying at this property, and, just like the first time, it was wonderful. The house is clean, well-equipped (especially the kitchen!), and cozy, combining the coastal vacation feel with the comforts of a home. Whether watching movies on the many TVs while lounging on the roomy couches or hanging out on the back patio (with new furniture), staying home was almost as much fun as being at the beach - which is never crowded, filled with sea creatures (fishing was very productive) and only 2 blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing for families with kids. The host was (again) very responsive and accommodating, though we (again) didn't have any issues. Would gladly come back.
Already submitted this…and even spoke to Biru at VRBO to ask why I still cannot access The owner’s review of us.“The four of us enjoyed our stay at your home in North Cape May. The location was perfect, the yard and back porch, delightful, and the house was clean. Thank you for the use of the beach umbrella and chairs…and pail and shovels. Having the grill was a real plus! Use of the laundry room including the soap pods was very much appreciated. Our only concern was that the king bed was very uncomfortable and we were not able to get good sleep. I never received a response to my text regarding the fact that for four people there were only three bath towels, two hand towels, and one facecloth! We managed. Charlie used one of the five beach towels. (Yes, there were 5 not 6 in the bin.) You provided everything we needed for kitchen use includingpaper plates, paper towels and napkins. Thank you! Unfortunately, the oven was not clean, but we did use it once to bake one sheet of cookies. We would definitely stay again if the king bed was improved.”

Hi Janet, thank you for your feedback and the 5 star rating. I just want to clarify for potential renters that the king mattress in the primary is soft (not firm) and that sheets and bath towels are not provided. This is indicated in the listing. Janet, this was communicated to you via the website, refer to our chat on May 11th. Thanks again, Denise
The home was perfect for our beech get-a-way! It was clean, spacious and well stocked. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was powerful! The home has a beautiful and peaceful outdoor deck and sitting area. The location was fantastic. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, which feels safe, and is walkable and bikeable! It only took a couple of minutes to walk to the beech, a restaurant and a short drive away from all things Cape May!
Cute and cozy spot just steps to the beach! Nice calm water for the kiddo, and we saw crabs and dolphins! And Harpoons is right there for an easy lunch or diner. Incredible location for a family beach getaway.
We absolutely LOVED our stay at the shore. The location of this cottage cannot be beat! Super easy walk to the beach, which was perfect for our little ones with the smaller waves. Our little ones loved searching for and catching ghost crabs on the beach at night and the neighborhood was so quiet, with zero traffic. I cannot recommend this cottage enough! We definitely hope to be back!
We really enjoyed staying here. The house is very cozy, bright, well-organized and well-equipped - and only a 5-min leisurely walk to the beach (and to Harpoons on the Bay.) The downstairs area is large and provides a lot of extra room (and games) for kids to play. The plants in the garden smell really nice when sitting on the back deck. It's a quiet neighborhood and the beach was never too crowded. The host is very responsive and helpful - though we didn't really need much during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
This was my family's second time staying here. (Please see my review from a year ago for more detail.) We love the property and the neighborhood. The house is VERY clean, especially when you consider it is used as a summer rental. We felt very much at home there. It is nicely stocked and we never felt we were missing anything. When I asked Denise if she had a cooler for the beach, she made sure to drop one off before our arrival. The house is conveniently located within North Cape May and a quick drive to other nearby attractions.
I look forward to returning to NCM again. Such nice family memories at this house.
