We had a really nice stay - the house was very comfortable and clean - loved the side porch! Right across from the pond so that was fun and relaxing to watch. Quick walk to the bay and the Cox wildlife preserve nearby where my husband went fishing and I went bike riding. Our pup loved the back yard and the porch. And of course a short ride to Cape May - downtown, beaches, ice cream, restaurants, etc. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Clean house comfy couches and beds. Short drive to cape May and quick walk to Delaware bay beaches. Next street over was a walking trail cox creek I believe it’s called. Overall perfect!
We encountered no issues or problems with our stay. Everything was as described. Some things were a little outdated, but in good working order. If you're looking for a nice house close to the beach, but not too close, this is a good one.
Our multi generational family had a very comfortable stay here. Lisa was great to work with. The house had lots of amenities (especially beach stuff) and plenty of room. There are so many choices for where to eat your meals inside and out in this house. We took short walks to the beach in the morning and at sunset but spent our beach time on the ocean side since the kids were older. It was a good base for that and to visit Wild wood and Cape May zoo, etc…
The house was very clean and the decorations were adorable! I felt very much at home. Plenty of room for my family! My dog had a nice fenced yard. Lots of supplies and chairs in the shed. I couldn’t be more pleased. All Good!
Thanks Lisa and Jack
We were a group of four adults and the space is perfect size Plenty of room. The enclosed deck and private fenced back yard are great! Will consider returning with our dog for sure!
Neighborhood quiet and nice. Great bike trails nearby. Didn’t know about them right away but a friendly neighbor let us know! Easy drive or walk to bay. Plenty of things nearby to do and places to eat are plentiful! Loved being so close to so. Many things. Kitchen well stocked. No complaints at all!
This is my second year staying at this Home on the Lake.
Still spik and span clean. They added a fence in the backyard which was fantastic for the dog and the deck is great.
I always bring my own Roku when I travel so I get all my TV subscriptions and the Wi-Fi is great.
I really want to thank the owner Lisa for pleasantly dealing with me when I realized I missed the last installment and ended up paying it the day before the stay.
Good place and people. Thanks!
Great location. House was as described, clean and roomy for our family, with welcoming spaces inside and outside. Plenty of board games, good assortment of books. Short walk the bay beach, where we enjoyed beautiful sunsets. Hosts were friendly and responsive with communication.
Had a great time at the beach last week! It is a short walk to the bay for morning strolls or sitting on the sand to watch the beautiful sunsets. It is also easy to get to Cape May, Wildwood, and even Stone Harbor. The home was welcoming and very comfortable. My favorite part was the outdoor shower, of course.
Thank you for a fantastic week!
Our stay was wonderful! My family and and our friend from Seattle thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at Lake View Cottage. It's on a quiet residential street, in walking distance to the beach and nature preserve and a short drive to many great activities and restaurants. The house is clean with nice beachy decor. You could spend your entire stay (and we mostly did) on the covered deck. It was very relaxing. The hosts responded to any questions right away. My daughters want to make this cottage an annual tradition.
You never know what your going to get in a rental. This one is a gem. New beds, great AC, bikes, bay access. Off the beaten path so quite and relaxing after a days outing.
This was one place I could say; i wouldn’t mind living here! Master bedroom was huge with own bath.
Thanks Lisa had a great time.
2nd year here. Owners are quick to respond and assist. House was extra clean due to Covid concerns when we arrived. Quiet neighborhood (except for the 🐸 lol). Close to Cape May and Wildwood. Short walk or drive to bay beach access. Cozy and well equipped home.

Good until the end
House is basic and cozy. Simple for a nice get away. Good space, nice yard, light and airy. 20mins away from everything Cape May and wildwood which was great. Homeowners seemed awesome until.
Communication was fine. I would email, they would reply within an hour or so and was always helpful.
Everything was fine til check out. We cleaned the house as directed and any questions we had about trash or other house rules we emailed and received a timely response (the house rules are very outdated so we had to confirm something).
No issues til check out and the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady arrived as we were washing the last few pots. I explained to her what we used in the kitchen and washed, what we washed concerning the beds (2 twin pillow top mattress covers that we used our own linen on top of anyway but washed cause it was the kids room and kids can be yucky). We have water balloons but couldn't find a shovel so we raked up the balloon scraps so they were in 3 small piles to pick up.
I don't know what photos this lady took. Pots we never used she alleged we made dirty and "disgusting". We purchased pans to bake in, we used paper plates. We did use their glasses, a big pot, and cutlery. We replaced toilet paper in one bathroom, swept under beds and couches, and everything else we were supposed to do.
The owners suddenly are disappointed in the "disgusting" state we left the property. I have used VRBO since homeway over 10 years and NEVER had a complaint about cleaning.
They owners said we left stains on the walls. The cleaner was upset that their was crumbs in the couch. We didn't stain anything and if they want, it is VERY likely that my SEVEN year old left crumbs in the couch especially after telling them to sit there when we were fixing things up.
I use VRBO literally 4 times a year. I have never had a homeowner tell me I was dirty.
I told the cleaner everything we did and how we left it and she said it was fine. She never once said anything when we asked her if she wanted anything from us / anything to do before we left.
She alledgedly took photos of walls and pots and labeled it as us doing it
I would have had glowing things to say about this house but I don't do well being lied on about being clean ESPECIALLY when the cleaning lady was there and when I gave her the checklist of what we did do and when SHE saw my husband cleaning and told him NO RUSH, she could have said something.
The cleaner should have been disgusted then
We enjoyed our week in the Villas. Super clean property and many amenities for comfort! Would definitely recommend. Property owners quickly responded with a minor lock box issue.
