We came for a long weekend for our daughter’s Coast Guard Graduation. The property was amazing. The beds were comfortable. The location was great. The owners were so helpful and responsive. It was a bit cold for the pool, but my boys swam anyway and loved it, and we all loved the hot tub.

2nd Annual Family Weekend

The house was spacious enough for the 8 adults, and 3 children that we were traveling with. The house included games and activities for the children for varying ages. Their DVD selections were really good and we were able to find movies for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.

Cute house!

We had group of 8 and the layout of the house and bedrooms was perfect. We were all able to eat together and the bedrooms were a nice size. We played games, enjoyed the hot tub, and the beach Santa vibe was enjoyable for all! The house was spotless when we arrived. Access to the park out back was a nice bonus.

Fun Short Spring Break Getaway

We had such a fun family getaway for a couple of days over spring break. The house was exactly as described, spacious, clean, and in a great neighborhood. My kids especially enjoyed the hot tub. The house is also very close to all the main Cape May highlights. Would definitely recommend.

Great Family Time

We had a wonderful time at your home. It was just what we all needed. Even though from the outside the house doesn’t look huge. There are spaces and rooms and little areas for everyone. The game room was a hit! Hot tub was great! Kitchen was multi purpose while preparing dinner. Just perfect!

Perfect weekend.

What a great property! The house was very clean and comfortable. The game room was a blast with the vintage games. My husband and I got to put our initials on the centipede game ( mine our on the higher score). We used the hot tub and had a beautiful outdoor fire. The access to the trails was perfect for our dogs. Also had lovely sunset at beach which was close enough to walk. Can’t thank you enough for a lovely anniversary weekend.

Girls Weekend

Property is described very well it is as it says. We were a girl's weekend getaway ages from 50 to mid 70's. This was 3rd year in the Villas in N.J. 1st time at this property it was nice due to the full bath and sleeping arrangements on 1st floor for our group who didn't do steps well. Check in was easy. There is enough to do you really didn't need to leave with hot tub, games and space to spread out. We definitely will return. The owner is in constant contact if we needed anything.

Holiday Beach Haven

We spent a lovely New Years week at the Flamingo House. The set up was perfect for the 2 families in our group - one in the 2 downstairs bedrooms and the other in the two up, with lots of great common space downstairs. The decor is great and we were especially impressed with the effort put into beach appropriate holiday decorations. All very festive! Everything in the house was clean and worked well. It was an easy drive into downtown Cape May for sightseeing and shopping - though parking could be a challenge there even in December. Plenty of restaurant options near the house. We already miss our gorgeous sunset walks on the beach (surprisingly nice weather while we were there) and relaxing evenings in the hot tub! Put Flamingo House on the list as a place we would like to return to…..

Cape May Family Vacation

Our group of 5 adults and 2 chuldren decided to vacation at Cape May this year. We were searching for a private home with a pool and hot tub on site. This tastefully decorated home suited our needs perfectly! With it's Key West vibes of Hemingway and flamingos, it's easy to relax and let your troubles float away! Cooking at home was easy with the well stocked kitchen and coffee every morning on the deck! Two spacious living rooms provided ample room to be together or enjoy time alone. Bedrooms are large with comfy mattresses. Shed is stocked with anything you may want/need to swim in the large pool or go to the beach! Although we didn't use, there are bikes and kayaks. Nature preserve adjoining the property provided hours of walking pleasure at a nice slow pace for us. Proximity to Cape May Beach and Wildwood just a short drive away, along with dining, boardwalks, ice cream and mini golf! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villas and would highly recommended the Key West home for anyone considering a Cape May vacation.

This house is so charming. All of the furniture is extremely well built and very comfortable. The decor is tastefully whimsical. The neighborhood is quiet and there is plenty of parking. We enjoyed the location as there are bay beaches in biking distance. And just a 12 to 15 minute drive to Cape May Atlantic beaches. It was great to not have to pack any beac chairs or toys as plenty were provided. If you plan on doing lots of cooking, I suggest bringing one good sharp knife, and one good pan for cooking. Most of the cookware is Teflon, which is scratched and chipping. And all the knives could use a good sharpening.We used both the pool and the hot tub and enjoyed them. The jets for the hot tub only fully work in one seat. But other than that, the place is perfect.

This house just makes you smile from the moment you walk in the door. Although we missed the outdoor bar area, the replacement seating area was definitely used. Bedrooms spacious, family dinners in the enclosed patio so memorable. A big hit was the game room. Every evening just a short walk to watch the beautiful sunset. Also the nature area behind is so nice. So much to enjoy!

An Unforgettable Escape – The Key West of New Jersey is Pure Magic

From the second we pulled into the driveway of The Key West of New Jersey, we were absolutely taken aback. The name says it all—this place genuinely transports you to a tropical oasis, right in the heart of New Jersey. We were instantly swept away by the vibrant colors, lush landscaping, and the overall vibe of the property. It’s hard to believe you’re still in the Garden State when you’re surrounded by palm-inspired décor, coastal accents, and that relaxed, laid-back Key West energy.Even though we had high expectations based on the photos, nothing could have prepared us for just how gorgeous this home is in person. The pictures don’t capture the full charm or the thoughtful touches around every corner. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that this home is lovingly maintained and masterfully designed. Every room flows with personality and character while remaining incredibly clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The Key West theme isn’t just a gimmick—it’s carried through beautifully, from the furniture and artwork down to the smallest details like light fixtures and color palettes.One of the biggest highlights for us was how immaculately clean and well-organized everything was. It’s obvious the hosts put great care into maintaining the property. Every drawer was tidy, the kitchen was perfectly equipped, linens were fresh, and clean jt was! Now let’s talk about the amenities—because wow, this place has everything. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day

Do not miss this!

We just got back from our stay at key west in Cape may. I can not say enough good things about this property! The attention to detail that the host provides is just perfect. It is fun and whimsical...not to mention pictures do not do it justice! The hosts answered every question I had within a few minutes. It was spacious. Everything in the kitchen was well stocked. If we could have stayed longer I 100% would have. We hiked, put together puzzles, played in the game room and had the most relaxing soaks in the hot tub. If I can find another free weekend I would be back in a heartbeat. Thank you guys so much for having us. It was the perfect little get away!
