The rental was larger than we expected from the pictures shown. The home was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. The screened in porch was an added bonus for us. The home was approximate 10-15 minutes away from Washington Ave in Cape May (as was stated on the listed) We had little communication with the host during our stay, as there were no issues to report. The host did check in to see if all was well. We all (a group of 8) were very pleased with the accommodations!

Perfect for our family and the in-law suite was a perfect space for my in-laws. The house was immaculate, our kids had a blast in the game room, and the pool was fun and refreshing. Great location and close to everything Cape May has to offer. Highly recommended!

Something for everyone

We had 4 generations in this fabulous house and everyone had a great time. The kids loved the game room and all of us loved the pool. The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor BBQ was used almost every day. We have rented so many homes and this was our favorite by far!!

vacation at 5 BR home

8 of us, (5 adults, 3 kids ages 8, 6 and 4) spent a week at Ilene and Jim's home away from home. The overall experience was very very good and enjoyable. The pool was nice to have especially for the kids. the hosts were very responsive to any issues (and they were minor)that came up.

Perfect for Our Family

To the Nines is an especially comfortable home, having a layout that encouraged family togetherness without sacrificing privacy. with gracious, welcoming and responsible hosts. Grocery and drug stores were close at hand, along with restaurants and a fun place for authentic Mexican desserts (Antojo’s). It was definitely easier to to get to Cape May attractions than we’d thought. Thanks, Ilene and Jim!

A dream vacation stay

Ilene was amazing, friendly and responsive before and during our stay! We could not have asked for a better and more helpful host! The house is beautiful inside and out, the owners really thought of many little details including entertainment for rainy days, we wish we could have stayed longer! Our family and friends all agree that the house has a good open layout, every room is tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. We had 10 people including little kids in the house but there was plenty of space to spread out, the 2 dining tables were perfect for our meal times. Did I also mention the clean pool and the pool toys that the kids gleefully found in the pool chest?! Thank you Ilene & Jim for setting the bar so high for our future vacation home rental 😃!

Annual Family Summer Vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation. Staying at Ilene & Jim’s home in North Cape May made our stay even more relaxing and full of fun such memorable time. The lovely home was tastefully decorated, orderly and clean. It felt like home. The home is equipped with every amenity needed and then some! We enjoyed the pool, backyard games, screened in deck, grilling, game rooms and karaoke. The home is close to beaches, boardwalks, great restaurants, fun attractions from dolphin watching, fishing, hiking, endless list of activities. Ilene and Jim were helpful and prompt at answering our questions. Wonderful vacation rental and lovely homeowners! We certainly plan on returning again next year! Thank you! Tammy & Dan

comfortable roomy house

We were five retired women birders staying in this house. It is roomy, spacious and confortable. Good location and quet street. The rooms are all a good size. The backyard is huge with a nice pool (which we did not use because it was September.) The kitchen is very large to accomodate our group. The first floor layout is open and conducive to commingling. The screened porch is fantastic. The inlaw suite provide a quiet bedroom and extra refrigerator space. The owners were very responsive in dealing with issues beyond their control such as contacting the cable company and power companies. We would definitley recommend this property and will consider a return visit.

This home is well equipped with anything you might need. Games, books, grill, iron, well supplied kitchen. Plenty of seating, inside and out. The in-law suit is a nice bonus, for anyone needing a little more privacy. All the beds are real beds, no fold outs! Plenty of bathrooms. Though we were there off season I could see the pool being a bonus. Outside is also a shed with loads of beach chairs, we weren’t swimming at the beach but having a chair was great! There was also a fun game room with basketball, air hockey and foosball, that everyone enjoyed. We also had a great time with the karaoke machine. The hosts communicated well, tgough email and text messages. The cleanup expectations were easy. Though recycling instructions would have been helpful as each state is a little different. The neighborhood was clean, quiet and felt safe. The house is tastefully decorated, clean and up to date. The only thing we haven’t encountered before in renting with VRBO was bringing our own bed linen and towels, but knowing this ahead of time was easy to prepare, and I could see if it was beach season the quantity of towels needed for a house this size would be a lot! A few services were recommended but buying sheets off Amazon is cheaper than the services. I would definitely rent this property again and refer it to friends.

Exactly what we needed

The house was perfect for a group of scientists using it as a base during field work -- plenty of space to meet all of our needs. All work and no play on our end, but I am sure it would provide excellent accommodations for anyone coming to the area on vacation as well.

Great stay in North Cape May!

What a wonderful stay in North Cape May! We had no idea what to expect given the property was a new listing but Ilene and Jim beyond exceeded our expectations. The house had everything we needed and more. Additionally, it was so clean and well-appointed! We were greeted with chocolates and champagne from the owners, Ilene and Jim. They were attentive to making our stay fabulous. The main kitchen was clean, spacious and had everything needed for our family meals. The work space / printer / monitor and great WiFi was super convenient for remote work when needed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large and very comfortable with TVs and fire sticks in every room. The mother-in-law suite had easy access to the porch, pool, and main kitchen. The screened-in porch was lovely for breakfast and evening cocktails. We loved the pool and the outdoor shower. We had a great time playing pop-a-shot, air hockey, and darts in the game room. The karaoke machine and poker table were added bonuses for late-night fun. Our family, guests, kids and adults alike, had a blast. We can’t say enough good things about 208 Pontaxit and can’t wait to return next year! Thank you Ilene and Jim for making our family vacation so special!
