Host profile image
My husband and I are South Jersey natives, currently living just outside Philadelphia where we're raising our five beautiful kids. Together we manage Riptide Cape May - Family Vacation Rental. Cape May holds a special place in our heart; We've made wonderful memories at Riptide during the thirty years it's been in our family. We hope you will as well!

Why they chose this property

Riptide is nestled in the beautiful Cape May Beach section of Lower Township. The magnificent Delaware Bay sits to our west and Cox Hall Creek, a 250+ acre nature preserve sits to our east. Both surround the neighborhood and imerse you with natural beauty. Centrally located for easy access into Cape May and the Wildwoods, Riptide is the perfect home base to explore all that Cape May County has to offer!

What makes this property unique

My husband Mike and I are experienced Hosts, with over 250 successful guest trips over four years time at Riptide. As parents of five young kids we know how hard it can be to travel sometimes. With that knowledge our number one goal is to make it as easy and seamless as possible when booking our home. Book with confidence knowing that we're always just a click away :-)
