Wonderful property that was exactly what we were looking for, loved the closeness to the beach. Home was well appointed for guest needs. Raymond was great to work with. Will return again!!
Cozy, clean and comfortable home that’s a one minute walk to the beautiful bay beach. Home is well stocked inside and out and made for a great get away. Owner Ray is communicative and quick to respond. Hope to return!
This was our 2nd year staying at this beach house. We absolutely love it. The inside is very clean, there is such a nice outdoor area to have a fire or just hang out. The bay area is beautiful especially at sunset. Ray was a very attentive host. We definitely plan to come back again!
Very nice accommodations. Very clean and very short walk to the beach. Quick drive and you are in Wildwood or Cape May Center. Seafood take out down the street was fabulous. Would recommend quiet and family oriented.
This was the best experience I’ve had renting a home. The cottage was clean, right on the beach with beautiful sunsets. I wouldn’t change a thing. Ray was an exceptional host and was communicative and kind. Would love to stay here again someday. Thank you Ray!
My family has stayed in VRBO literally all over the world. This incredible cottage in The Villas was the absolute best stay ever. I have never seen a more perfectly stocked and furnished location - they did not forget ANYTHING! We even had chip clips on the fridge! Owner came by to make sure everything was good. Having a history of family from Cape May County, this added even more to the family feel. Would 100% stay in this location again.
We really enjoyed our time at this property. The host communicated procedures in a detailed email and was responsive to any questions we had. The property was very clean and had more than we expected. They give you access to a shed with beach chairs, toys, etc. There are many outdoor spaces to enjoy and you are just a short walk from the beach. The sunsets on the beach are spectacular. It is a quiet neighborhood.You are within driving distance of Cape May and Wildwoods, so you can drive if you want bigger ocean rides or to enjoy a boardwalk. We enjoyed the stay.
The beach house is in a beautiful location- really close to the beach on the bay side and just 10-15 minutes from downtown. The beach is great for watching the sunset, but had jellyfish when we were there. It was also very buggy on many occasions. On a beautiful weather, it is a great area for going on a run early in the morning.
The beach house has the essentials. The owner also provided items for going to the beach.
The outdoor area is also very
Ray will handle any problem without invading your privacy; I did not have any.
It's a nice place, clean and functional, but you have fast internet and TV, and a little walk to a lovely shore.
An exceptionally peaceful neighbor, everything you need minutes driven.
I will be back any time.
Thanks, Ray
Comfy cottage in a nice family neighborhood steps from the beach. Host was very nice and communicated very well with us.
House was nicely decorated with great amenities especially the shed in the backyard had nice beach chairs and games.
Outdoor shower in the back was huge perk. Back yard also has a nice firepit area with a grill.
Front yard has a nice deck with a pergolas and an outdoor dinning table with chairs. Also has strung lights for hanging out at night.
The beach was less than a two minute walk. We have some spectacular sunset pictures from that beach which is the Delaware Bay. The price was very reasonable compared to staying in CapeMay or Wildwood which are very short drives. Highly recommend for a small family.
We would absolutely stay there again.
Thank you
