About this property

CAPE MAY BEACH,PET FRIENDLY, lovely home 1 block to dog friendly beach, preserve


Once again, we are booked solid for the summer! However, we do have openings in September and October which is the best time to visit! Days are warm, there are less crowds, BIRDING is spectacular, everything is open, AND, our rates are lower IN FACT, BOOK FIVE NIGHTS AND ONLY PAY FOR FOUR! DISCOUNT TAKEN AT TIME OF BOOKING! Our rental home is located in Cape May Beach, just one block from the beach and 1.5 blocks from the 300 acre preserve! The beach is lovely, calm and great for kayaking, fishing, and perfect for families. It is also DOG FRIENDLY! The preserve features walking/biking paths, a fresh water lake with trout and largemouth bass, and fantastic bird watching! Over 200 species within a couple of miles!
Plus, our sunsets are unmatched anywhere on the east coast!
We are located in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood, yet just 10 minutes from Downtown Cape May and 15 minutes from Wildwood.
Our areatruly is great no matter what the season. In Summer, the cool bay breezes invite you to just kick back with a cocktail and enjoy the sand between your toes. Fall brings festivals seemingly every day along with world class birding.Cape May is absolutely THE Christmas destination- you have to see it to believe it. And Spring offers great, uncrowded access to all of our tours and attractions. Our climate is great all through the fall and the holidays.
The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fully fenced yard, central AC/heat, expanded cable and a VERY well stocked kitchen.
We supply blankets, pillows, and towels, as well as starter supplies of hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, tp, garbage bags etc.
Bed sizes are 2 queens, 1 double, and 1 twin.
We love dogs! A second doggie may be considered for a nominal fee. Unfortunately, our insurance says no to a few breeds.
Cape May Beach is truly is a very special neighborhood. We have lived here for 22 years and wouldn't live anywhere else! We are sure you will love it also.
BIRDERS TAKE NOTE! Over 250 species have been documented within five miles of our house, and 150 within a half mile!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We stayed here over the Easter holiday and could not have had a better experience! The house was warm, cozy and a perfect fit for my family's needs (two adults, one child and a dog). We had everything we needed in the kitchen, the backyard was perfect for our dog to enjoy and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Pete and Janet were wonderful and attentive hosts!

A restful vacation with our best friends—our dogs!

The house was comfortable and very clean. The yard was perfect for our 2 dogs, with easy access. The best part was the proximity to the nature reserve—an excellent place to walk the girls and enjoy nature, meet other dog people, and the trails were well kept. This was a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, very close to the beach.

Great location

We spent Christmas weekend here during the deep freeze of 2022! The whole family (including dog) stayed cozy and warm. We braved the cold for a short walk to the bay to take in the sunset and also another short walk to the Cox Creek Wildlife Management area. Both items highly recommended! Pete communicated well with us and we were very happy with our stay.

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Cape May Beach for the last 21 years. Every day we experience the beauty of this area. The beach is uncrowded, clean , and pet friendly. It offers great fishing, kayaking, shelling, birding, and just plain relaxing! The sunsets are as beautiful as Key West.
We love to walk the entire area with our dog Dexter. Our rental and our own house are located between the beach and a wildlife preserve that is truly spectacular. The lake is great for fresh water fishing and kayaking. and the paths are great for birding, walking, biking, etc.
And speaking of birding, over 200 species have been recorded within 1/2 mile of the house!
The Wildwood Boardwalk offers rides, amusements, arcades, and lot of food stands as well as a huge water park.
All the charm of Victorian Cape May is just 10 minutes away. You must experience Cape May at Christmas Time!
We hope you will visit the area and fall in love with it as we have.
We are very accessible should you need anything during your stay, and if you have never been here, we will be glad to steer you in the right directions!

Why they chose this property

Clean, well equipped, tastefully furnished in the best beach area on the East Coast.
The best sunsets on the entire east coast!

What makes this property unique

I winter we have pine and holly trees that are green and snow does not come often. In spring the trees bloom and the birds sing!
ENJOY THIS HOUSE FOR WEEKEND GET AWAYS or stay a week or two to be in a low traffic, temperate area. Cape May is open year round, and is a great place to walk and enjoy a lunch or dinner.
