Beach get away

We loved the location . The beach was only a few steps away and the sunset was beautiful. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer. The host was easy and quick to respond to any questions and gave great recommendations for the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

Our family of six (4 plus 2 grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The proximity to the private beach was perfect, with amazing sunsets. We ventured into Cape May a few times for shopping and the bigger beach. We explored the light house, went to the Cape May Zoo, and did the zipline course at the zoo. The Arbor Cottage had many details that made our stay even better.

Wildwood for MADE Hoops
