On the water with private beach, sunsets and sunrises
Come enjoy a dream vacation, where you have a private beach as part of your property, a large deck with Amazing sunsets overlooking the bay, wake up to the sun rising over the nature preserve, walk on the large sand bar next to the house, enjoy the kitchen with wall of sliders overlooking the water, gaze at the sky during the star filled evenings, enjoy the sounds of the waves flowing under the house, stay with your entire family in this updated five bedroom home.
Stay at the home the entire time or venture out to one of the local wineries, cape may zoo, take a horse and carriage ride in the middle of cape may, visit Wildwood, Avalon and/or Stone harbor which are just minutes away.
You can shop at the local fresh fish store, Matthews or you can fish and crab right off your deck. Enjoy one of the unique restaurants located in Cape May Courthouse or choose one of the restaurants to deliver and eat bayside right at your private deck.
Feel like cooking? You will love the brand new kitchen with amazing views or the grill on the deck overlooking the water. Stay on your private beach all day or use the beach swings to enjoy the space. Walk the beach and search for the famous "Cape May Diamonds" or amazing shells.
This home is a private nature retreat. Birds, turtles and horseshoe crabs all live in this beautiful location. Please take note that fly's also like the beach.
Bring your family for an experience of a lifetime.
Please note: This home is located on the bay. The home is lifted and the water does go under the home. During the high tide the private beach of the home will be water, then it recedes again for a large beach area. There is also a public beach a few feet away and another beach area on the northern end of the street. The public beach a few feet away always has a beach even when our private beach is experiencing high tide.
There is a 30" range with two ovens. One oven is a regular sized oven and the second is 30" wide but not as deep. The second smaller oven is great for reheating food. Our home does not have a microwave. There are 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. (One of these bedrooms is on the main floor, one of these bedrooms is one step down from the main floor in its own detached suite).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

Lovely property. Wish more inside space to gather. Nice separate space for our senior parents. Deck was the best spent a lot of time there. Grill very hard to clean needs a cover. Washer and dryer great.Needs a microwave. A/c worked great. Wish it was a full week. House near other places to visit. An enjoyable experience.Bunk beds or twin beds teenagers would like better.

Family trip
We had a wonderful time. The house is roomy and with the additional quarters separate from the main house it made it so we all had privacy. There were 10 of us and it was very comfortable. You don’t have to leave once you’re there. The house is stocked with a great kitchen and all the essentials. There’s a big beautiful deck with plenty of seating and a grill. Fishing right off the deck was a favorite for the grandchildren. We were able to paddle board and kayak right from the private beach. We had the best view of gorgeous sunsets. Some hooks in a couple of the bathrooms would’ve been helpful, there wasnt a place to put towels after showering. Thanks to our host for being quick to answer questions and good communication.

This was our first Jersey shore beach house rental in a quiet location and I must say it was fantastic. Still a very close drive to public hopping Wildwood beaches and boardwalk for the grands to get their fill of activities. The house was clean and contemporary. Very comfy beds and had a nice overall ambiance. The deck is awesome, large and easily to accommodated all 9 of us.The horseshoe crabs were pretty cool to see up close. The kids were fascinated by them. This location is a nature lovers paradise. Also, wanted to make sure people do visit Matthews Seafood Market for dinner. We did a take out and it was minutes away and was sooo very fresh and delicious. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your place!

Surrounded by serene water and the gentle sounds of birds, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. The spacious outdoor porch is ideal for cozy gatherings, morning coffee, or simply soaking in the tranquil views. A true haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Beautiful place literally on top of the water
We had seven adults and two children workout just fine in this beautiful open home with the house and a huge deck built on pier literally above the water during high tide. During low tide, there’s a beautiful private beach. Accommodations had everything we needed with the exception that a microwave and garbage disposal would have been handy. Communication with the owner was great. She was very accommodating and we would come back.

Beautiful home on the water
We completely enjoyed our stay here. We had extended family all together (older parents, 4 adult children and their kids) for a week. The house was beautiful! Very clean upon arrival. The listing was accurate so we knew what we would find. We brought a microwave as the house doesn’t have one. We had everything we needed for the stay.
The host is very responsive with any questions or needs.
The house is right on the water, with a small private beach, and my favorite part was the huge deck overlooking the water, with beautiful sunset views.
The house has 2 bedrooms downstairs(1 is in a separate suite with bathroom), and 3 upstairs. Huge open kitchen/living/dining area were we could all spread out.
If you have a mobility-impaired person, note that there are about 10 steps total going into the home, with some of them without a railing. Also, the dining table is countertop height, but we did find a couple regular height chairs and used the coffee table for our family member to be able to sit and eat. Just something to be aware of if this matters for your group.
Very quiet neighborhood, only a few homes on the street. The neighbors on either side are long term local people, so no beach rentals with loud parties going on. There is a nature preserve with beach at the end of the street also.
20 minute drive to Wildwood and the boardwalk, and 25 minute drive to Cape May shopping area. Lots of other things to do in the area as well.
We would consider coming back here.

Tranquil and Unforgettable Beach Vacation
My family and I stayed here for a week in July. My family consists of myself, my husband, our two daughters (20 months and 3 years old), my mother and my brother. We had an unforgettable and wonderful time. The house is a perfect location if you really want to unwind and enjoy your time and the people you are with. We only went to dinner twice and the zoo one day. We stayed at the house for the majority of the trip. The kitchen/dining area and the deck was perfect for meals and hanging out/relaxing. Stargazing, at night on the deck, was a favorite of mine and I even saw a shooting star. During the day we would be down on the private beach enjoying the sun. Our girls had a perfect spot for exploring and building sand castles. The Greenhead horse flies were a nuisance from time to time but just bring bug spray. The house is on a dead end street with a beach continuing so it was very quiet and peaceful. The neighbors and their dog Fred were such nice people and enjoyed showing the girls the fish and crabs they would catch. I think I speak for my entire family when I say we highly recommend this property and would love to go back one day soon.

Cape May Gem
Our stay at this Cape May vacation home was nothing short of magical. It was the perfect setting for our family getaway, providing enough space and comfort for all (my husband, myself, our 3 adult children and significant others, our pup, and mother-in-law & father-in-law). Upon arrival, the house was spotless, and the open floor plan for the living area and kitchen made it easy, serving as a make-shift workspace for those who had to work part of the vacation and to also spend time together.
The second floor had three cozy bedrooms, two of which had private bathrooms, making our stay even more comfortable. The bedroom on the main floor was great too, with a convenient bathroom just down the hall. And the washer and dryer were lifesavers for our stay.
The separate bedroom suite just steps away from the main house was a fantastic bonus. It offered a bit of extra privacy for my in-laws who were traveling with us and quiet in case they did not want to stay up late with us.
I can not say enough about the property owners - they were super responsive and always ready to help with any questions we had.
This trip was especially meaningful for our family because it was likely the grandparents' last family vacation with us due to their physical limitations. The property was a little slice of heaven, allowing us to be together without feeling crowded. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a family vacation. It's truly a gem in Cape May.

Family vacation weekend
beautiful views of bay, amazing deck, nice kitchen, bed and bath decor. all updated appliances. Our large group met their tp celebrate our mom's 90th bday. Ages were 16-90. we all could hear the water lapping under the house as its up on stilts and the tide comes right up. its really cool! The grill is actually a griddle (like what diners and fast food places use to make burgers. it worked out fine for us once we realized that covering the food kept the heat in. there is no hood so the heat couldn't get trapped in there. We used the deck for fishing, hanging out, grilling, reading, etc. we caught 2 rays, a sand shark and a couple of horseshoes crabs (it was horseshoe crab mating season so they were everywhere). We loved walking down the quiet road the house is on and seeing brand new baby terrapin hatchlings crossing from beach to the dunes. Cool getty at end of road and a bird sanctuary beach 2 houses down. ( public cant access that certain times of the year). because the house is on the bay its definitely not in the touristy busy part of Cape May but lots of little mom and pop places for stores, restaurants and ice cream within 10 mins drive.
you can easily tell the folks who moved out onto this road did so long ago to be away from crowds so while some folks

Peaceful holiday gathering spot
My family rented the house for our Thanksgiving getaway, and the house provided a peaceful, private place with plenty of room for cooking, eating, and resting. The house’s unique position on stilts over the tide is stunning and ideal if you like to listen to the surf. The neighborhood is small and secluded which was great for dog walks.

Kind, thoughtful, and thorough in answering the numerous questions we had ahead of our stay and quick to respond to questions we had while there.
