About this property

Bayfront Bungalow

Water views from almost every window...feels like you are on a cruise ship without the boat! This place is a nature lovers dream. The sky is painted different colors from sunrise to sunset to moonrise. From our private pier you can swim, kayak, crab or chill.

Nature lovers will bask in the beauty of Bennys Landing, a tiny hamlet of 100 year old homes on Jenkins Sound. It’s a 10 minute drive through the wetlands to the pristine Stone Harbor beaches. We are 2 miles from the Acme if you want to get burgers for the grill. Or enjoy a gourmet dinner in the quaint center of Cape May Court House. Go to George’s for authentic Greek, Nino’s for Italian or Petunia’s for something special. We are located in a coastal town and like all coastal communities, we are subject to flooding during severe weather. As long as you have good snacks and better company, the tide will recede and the house will keep you safe and dry as she has for over 100 years.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The “clam shack” is our favorite place to stay at the shore! Although there’s tons to do - with Stone Harbor town and beaches, the boardwalk in Wildwood, and Cape May all within a few minutes‘ drive - we never want to leave because the views are so beautiful! Carolyn is the perfect host - responsive and friendly, and the house itself has an irresistible charm. We always enjoy our days spent at this adorable bungalow and hope to return for many summers to come!

We loved the house! The layout was perfect for our family – the kitchen and the living room were great places to hang out, as was the front porch. We loved the quiet location and the access to the water. We went out on the kayaks a couple of times and we rode the bicycles into town. Both were very fun! I can’t say enough about how great our stay was. We would definitely return to this house!

We wanted a quiet place for spring break and this was perfect. The views were lovely and my husband and son had fun trying to catch fish from the dock - even if they didn’t get anything. Hopefully we can return when it’s warmer and can truly enjoy everything the area has to offer.

The host was wonderful and kind, the house was perfect in every possible way and the location was beyond our wildest expectations. Sunrises and sunsets lit up the house.

Tropical Storm Fun Away Weekend

We stayed in the Bayfront Bungalow when a tropical storm Ophelia came through. The house was a cozy fun place to watch the marsh lands, marine life, and view the rising tides. The owner stayed in touch and checked on the house during the storm. The bird life after was a mating to watch and the marshlands are full of ribbed muscles, horseshoe crabs, and shrimp to explore with kids. The area is only 15 minutes from multiple beaches, boat rides, and amazing food. We loved our stay and despite the weather plan on coming back.

It's a "Shore" Thing!🏖

There are not enough words to describe this beautiful home and its location. If you want a home that makes you feel like you're at the shore in a location that is quiet & never lacks natural beauty, look no further. Cleanliness, seashore decor, amenities, and a front porch overlooking the bay were stellar. Sunrises, sunsets, natural wildlife, campfires, seashells, the beautiful beaches of Stone Harbor...the list could go on. Carolyn responds to questions/concerns in a professional manner & time frame. This is truly a hidden gem at the Jersey shore!

Unique and convenient home base

We used this unique, comfortable, quiet, and convenient rental as our home base for a Winter bird photography trip to Cape May County. The home on Benny's Landing is minutes away from Cape May Courthouse, Stone Harbor, and the Garden State Parkway. Yet, we felt isolated--surrounded by marshland and the expanse of the tidal back bay. It was a restful transformational break from our city life because it was easy to stay in every way. The home is cozy and warm, with ample heat, lighting, hot water, and bedding for a Winter stay. The kitchen is well-equipped and user-friendly. Internet access is good for streaming TV, uploading (many) images, and working remotely. Carolyn is a great host--responsive, helpful, and accommodating! We look forward to future stays!

Nice house, nicer view

The house is exactly as described. The kitchen was very well stocked and the ice machine worked! Even the bathroom shower was awesome! We rarely moved from the porch or the front yard. The weather was perfect, great breezes, and we had a wonderful view of the Blue Moon rising! The sunsets were also spectacular. We saw egrets and a baby terrapin turtle! Honestly, we rarely moved from the porch or the front yard. Communication with Carolyn was awesome. We were very lucky to have missed a major rainstorm because the area is prone to flooding. The house is close to Stone Harbor and Avalon beaches. We were able to see the fireworks from the porch on Friday night from Wildwood! Neighbors were friendly as well. The area is very peaceful, even on the weekend, and a great place to decompress and relax. Even our dog enjoyed the long walks by the nature preserve!

Don’t stay here

The house itself is fine, the problem is getting to and from the property. The access road, Bennys Landing Road, is in a major flood zone, FEMA 10/10 and depending on tides and weather, you may not be able to use the road. Is the location and view worth risking your mental and physical health? That is up to you to decide. Carolyn doesn’t mention any of this on the listing and withheld information even when asked specifically about flooding. Trying to get a partial refund since we went through a harrowing experience trying to return to house after going out to dinner. We had to drive 500 ft through 5-6 inches of moving water and decided to leave early the next day. No one in the group has been able to sleep since this happened. She hadn’t responded to the Vrbo inquiry.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2024
To our future nature loving guests, we can’t wait to have you! In my 4 years hosting at my waterfront home, I have never experienced anything like this with a guest. I won’t let one bad apple ruin it for those who have yet to experience the beauty of Benny’s Landing. I also won’t deprive myself of hosting new people as many past guests have become friends and return season after season. I have absolutely nothing to hide about my home. When storms were reported during Judy’s stay, she asked if she needed to be concerned about flooding as she is from Point Pleasant, NJ which is also a coastal town and like all coastal towns can experience flooding during severe weather events. I responded that as long as she had good snacks and good company, the house will be fine. It’s withstood over 100 years of storms. I also told her it was possible the road could cover during high tide which has happened during big storms. The next night, I received an alert from the National Weather Service: * At 940 PM EST, a strong thunderstorm with little or no lightning was located over Cape May Point, moving northeast at 55 knots. Simultaneously, Judy started a barrage of texts accusing me of intentionally putting her in harms way. Apparently she decided to drive through moving water. I think everyone knows not to do this…especially people who live in a coastal town and are aware of this potential. As you can see from the listing photos, the house is surrounded by water. I will add that there is the potential for flooding to my listing just like any other coastal town because I have absolutely nothing to hide. If Judy wasn’t so terrible to me, I would have generously given her a partial refund. When I talked to VRBO about the situation (yes I spoke to VRBO), they said since there was no issue with the house I provided and that acts of nature are out of any hosts hands, no refund was suggested. Since Judy was so nasty and caused me to lose sleep, no refund given.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

There is no place like Benny's Landing at the Jersey shore. It provides the beat of both worlds as far as easy access to the beaches of Stone Harbor with out the crowds. You will not find a better Bayside home and view for the price "on island"

What makes this property unique

There is no need to leave the house with all the activities available right on the property- crabbing, fishing. kayaking, paddle boarding, corn hole, etc. But if you want to go to the Stone Harbor beaches they are a 5 minute drive, the boardwalk rides in Wildwood are 15 minutes away and the quaint shops of Cape May are just 20 minutes away!
