Down by the Bay

If you're looking for somewhere simple, quiet, & safe to stay this is a good place! It's about 20 minutes to both Cape May & Wildwood beaches, Sunset Beach, Cape May Lighthouse, & Washington Street outdoor shopping. The house is clean, driveway parking for 2 vehicles, & backyard is shaded. The bay beach was good for walks (the dog loved it!) & sunbathing, but not for swimming.

A piece of Heaven

First I want to thank the owner Mary who really went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our vacation. From a gorgeous house and well kept property will definitely rent again in summer nto having all of the necessities we needed and enjoyed. Mary who is extremely responsive from messages to phone calls made sure our stay would be memorable and it absolutely will be.

Week get away

We had a great stay at Mary’s house. The house was clean and had what we needed. Mary was quick to respond back to me on an issue and was able to fix right away. Location was perfect where we could enjoy both wildwood and Cape May. We also enjoyed our daily walks to the bay. The bay was a little muddy by the entrance but walking down further we found perfect spots for both kids and dogs to play in. The house was perfect for dogs with a big backyard. I would stay here again!

Pleasant Experience!

We had a really relaxing stay close to Cape May. Villas is located only about 15 minutes or so from the beach. If you think that you will be able to go to spend the day at the beach here, you will be disappointed. It is very muddy and buggy. Great place to walk, but that's about it. Wonderful sunsets. The house is very comfortable and the owner is super!

Bring a dustbuster and cleaning equipment.

We stayed in this house for 2 weeks in August and had to leave for 2 days when the county had a mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Irene. The inside of the house looked like the pictures, but the 2nd bedroom was very small, it had been an entry hall way before the remodeling. The yard was quite unattractive and had baskets of fake flowers around the patio area. The grass was meager, both in the front and back yards. The gas grill didn't work and we had to use the charcoal grill.If we had been advised that it didn't work we would have brought our own portable gas grill as we prefer it to charcoal.To get to the beach, you had to drop down to a cement block about 2 feet below the road and then another foot to the sand, and then walk about 100 feet to the beach. We have stayed in other properties in this area for the last 8 years and always found them equipped with the proper cleaning supplies. We always clean up before we leave, but in order to do so here, we had to go out and buy cleaning equipment as what was there was minimal. It took a lot of time to use the broom and a swifter on the wood floors and the bathroom, a dust buster would be so much more efficient and faster.My assumption was that the cleaning supplies were locked up in a separate part of the house that we didn't have access to and as we wanted to get our deposit back, we went out and bought what we needed.

Down By the Bay

Great location for leashed walks with your dog on the beach morning and evening and fantastic sunsets a block away. Cape May promenade with fantastic dining and shopping and surf views only 20 minutes away. We went during prime season so we had to be strategic as to parking for our swim in the ocean day (got the parking ap and arrived at 9:00 am and ate breakfast at Bill’s Pancakes first). Mary has a fantastic clothes washer & drier that served us well, as did her outdoor shower (but note her knobs are reversed as to temperature). We had a brief few moments of panic when we first got there and had trouble with her door lock and couldn’t get Mary on the phone, but we finally figured out that the “0” was erased from use and was originally on the “9” key. We also had trouble getting the internet but when we finally talked to Mary on day 2, we discovered the prior guest had changed the password from what Mary had listed. Mary told us how to get the new password from the tv and problem solved. Things I wish had been different: lots of missing lightbulbs. Mary said they were in the kitchen cabinets but I could not find any. She then offered to reimburse us if we went up to Walmart to purchase some. Truthfully we were too busy being out and about to do that so we made due. Highly recommend going to Sunset Beach for miniature golf, ice cream, souvenirs and another take on the sunset (free parking) and Cape May Point park for the lighthouse and some local lore/exhibits (they have hiking too but it was too hot while we were there). Also highly recommend the zoo (free parking) where my son enjoyed the animals and the carousel (they also have a ropes course). Would not say this house is a destination in itself (I personally was disappointed in the fire pit/ability to use the backyard in the evening), but it’s proximity to good times and as a supportive base for them, it is a good find. Thank you, Mary!

A transcending experience

Before this vacation I didn’t fully understand how how profound the effect of beaches in such an intimate, natural setting could be. Just a short walk to an access point to what felt like another dimension - a huge, sprawling coastline peppered here and there with people, but essentially giving the impression it’s only you and majestic Mother Nature. Our first walk was during low tide and even on a cloudy day, the gentle glow of the sunset was calming. Nature surrounds you - as described, horseshoe crabs were left behind as I’m sure they have for many, many years. Ripples in the sand formed by the water with pools reflecting created such a majestic scene. The following day we returned during high tide and were amazed to find just 5’ brought the waterline so far in compared to the previous day. The sand was soft, gentle currents serenaded us, and there was no noise pollution - incredible. The house is so conveniently located to this relaxing portal, yet only 15/20 minutes drive to the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk and beaches in Wildwood or the charming Cape May promenade and beaches. It was hot and summery as expected so the yard wasn’t plush for walking, but created yet another inspirational setting as we watched wild rabbits scurry about, eating and cooling in the sand amongst a sea of what I learned is the only cactus native to the eastern US. (I spotted one shaped like Mickey Mouse.) birds abound and sing their songs in the morning while crickets take over the evening. The house is beautiful and open concept. Beware the first step into the house though, my hands were full so I didn’t see the slight step down inside the door. Great communication with the property owner. If you are hoping for a touristy night-life condo experience, this might not be for you. But if you’re hoping to find serenity, this is it. We will be back again for sure unless she no longer opens the home to others and prefers to keep it to herself. After reading one of the reviews here, I could understand if she did. I pray that doesn’t happen though - and future travelers respect and appreciate the opportunity to stay there. I know we do. We also took our dog and that was so huge in our decision to stay there. He wasn’t able to run in the yard because like I said, it’s summer and the grass is not plush - he wasn’t fond of walking on it. If he enjoyed water, we could have taken him to the beach before 11am or after 4pm. We loved every moment!

Bayside Get-away.

We really enjoyed using this property for a quick little getaway. It had everything that we needed. The proximity to the beach is phenomenal. If you enjoy bayside living, this is your spot. Mary, the host, made herself available in case of any emergencies which not only did we appreciate, but we found very professional. If we're ever in the mood for another bayside getaway, we will not be looking elsewhere. It really was a fantastic 5 days on and off the beach.

Needs updating pretty much everywhere.

The place has very old furniture and the bedroom is unusable due to the moth ball smell. The bathroom does not have a single place to put your bathroom stuff other than the top of the toilet. The back yard is not usable either due to carpets all over, cactus and unusable furniture. The beach is not a swimming beach - it is a walking and sunset beach and it should be noted that dead horse shoe crabs are common during the summer on the beach so as not to surprise guests when they get on the beach. Other than all the above, everything is just 15-20 minutes away so you can drive to a suitable beach and get out of the house.

It’s cheap for a reason, don’t ruin your vacation by staying here.

*update: since writing the below review the host has been even creepier and verbally aggressive, this is really not a safe host to trust a family stay with. The location is awesome, the price was a third of others in the Cape May area. I should have known. The host was a strangely grumpy and off-putting in the communications. The documentation was disorganized. I’m a licensed therapist and my wife is a dual boarded physician and psychiatrist so I guess we’re used to dealing with folks like this and assumed she just had some personal things going on like many of us do. We brought our own towels and sheets thankfully, but the place isn’t very taken care of. Again, it’s so close to the beach, no worries. The final straw was when we get a notification days later that she’s not returning the security deposit in the hundreds of dollars because the ice machine was broken. The house was old and worn so we actually left the place cleaner than it was when we arrived, and the ice machine didn’t work when we got there. We asked her and she sent a nasty message saying sorry! You should have reported it instantly, too late. Luckily the other hosts on this trip have been epic, and I do feel bad for the lady and whatever has happened to make her so cantankerous, but it seemed clear from the beginning she was determined to make money with a low price and high security deposit, and that’s just an unethical and unbecoming way to treat families. In summary, it’s cheap for a reason, avoid this like the plague even though the location and price are great. You don’t want to have to deal with drama from hostzilla.

About the host

Hosted by W. New York Ave LLC

Host profile image
Welcome to a sanctuary of nature/wild cactus (sectioned off) for both your protection and sanctuary growth. Our beach house is modest, cozy/quaint sanctuary to call HOME sweet home. Pet friendly neighborhood was an old fishing village with many of the original homes back in the day called Mill-man style ours an L shape Mill-man rancher. Now a days many homes have been replaced by larger homes especially the ones sitting on the bay. My yard is large, mostly inhabited by wildlife, I keep it that way for my own private sanctuary that borders next to the natural wildlife preservation.

Why they chose this property

Fortunately, for me this cozy home I enjoyed as a teenager and still do well into my golden years. If you love nature like I do, hearing the sounds of the water, wind, seagulls will keep you awe while enjoying your morning coffee. In the evening sit by the crackling fire pit sipping wine, bubbles or tea while taking in the cool bay breeze. Don't forget to walk down to the bay only 95 steps for Delaware's East coast magnificent sunsets, a must!!!!!

What makes this property unique

To me Our home brings back making family/friend memories, good times, boogie board, riding the waves, swimming, the boardwalk, walking on the quiet bay beach and watching the magnificent sunsets/ great meals. If you want cozy family memories plus peace and quiet, look no further. Now for excitement...... 15 min. drive to Cape May or Wild-woods famous boardwalk, amusements, and yes the nightlife.
