Great Pet Friendly Vacation
We were very pleased with how well-appointed and clean the home was. The fenced in yard was great for our pup and the proximity to the bay and other area attractions can't be beat. We walked to the bay every day and enjoyed riding our bikes around the area. We would recommend this property to others looking for a pet friendly vacation home.

The house is in a nice neighborhood. We walked to the beach multiple times a day.
The home is clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. The owner responded to messages in a timely manner. The coastal storm Ophelia hindered some of our outdoor activities. The sunsets that we did see were not disappointing and very easy to get to! We visit Cape May every year at this time and enjoy everything it offers. The bay area (Townbank) has become our go to place.

Great location for beach lovers!
Our family had a great stay in Cape May. We enjoyed the beach most days (even spotted some dolphins). The house was spacious and clean with all you ask for in the kitchen. We brought our dog who liked the yard (be aware that small dogs could escape from under the fence in a few spots). Overall a fun week in a comfortable home!

Great house by the bay
We stayed at the property August 12-19. The house itself was very family and pet friendly. We loved that it was on a block from the bay beach. The first night we went to the beach to watch the sunset and it was lovely. Our Labrador loved the fenced in yard! There were, however, a few areas of confusion. We were aware that we needed to bring our own sheets and towels. However, we didn’t realize that we needed to bring our own pillows and blankets as well. We spent the first hour after check in buying six pillows at a local department store. When I rechecked the listing, the owners description did state that pillows and blankets were not included. However, the VRBO listing said that linens and towels were not included, but did not mention blankets and pillows were not included. Either way, it is a hassle to pack all of these things for three bedrooms and six adults! Considering check-in is not until 4 PM (which seems late and left a little time in the house before our first day was over ) and check out is at 10 AM that leaves six hours during which of it would’ve been entirely possible to provide these things, considering there’s a washer and dryer on premises. Also, we thought that cable TV was provided. In actuality, it was a smart TV with streaming services that we had to use our own accounts if we wanted to access movies or television. Overall though-we had a wonderful vacation in a beautiful location and would recommend this rental.👍

Family vacation with adult children and two small dogs
We spent a nice week in this well-kept, clean home. Location was great for us and it showed us a section of Cape May we had not been exposed to before. With six adults, we had ample room upstairs, house temp remained cool, and there was plenty of hot water throughout our stay. Owner was very responsive - I only had one question regarding garbage. My one suggestion might be to add a couple more chairs to the outside patio area so that everyone can sit at once (only five chairs there now). Thank you for sharing your home with us! I recommend this property without hesitation.

We love staying in North Cape May. This house met all of our needs, allowing our dogs to travel with us. Check-in is a breeze. Super close to the bay on a very quiet street. We’ll miss seeing the sunsets every evening!

Amazing location!
We had a wonderful vacation with our 2 young kids at Debbie’s house. The location was great, the house was a perfect size for our family, and the ability to bring our two dogs was so convenient. The only caveat is that the backyard has a few holly trees and the leaves with the thorns made it unsafe for our dogs to use or a kids to walk barefoot. This was a small inconvenience to an overall amazing trip!

Peaceful and comfortable stay for our family
We had an amazing stay. The home was clean and comfortable, with great care taken to the property. Short walk to a quiet and peaceful beach. Exactly what our family was looking for! Great yard for our dog and toddler. There’s a great park for kids a 5 minute drive away near our favorite Turdo winery. Perfect spot if you want a family gathering space, easy beach access and to be a short drive from all Cape May offers.

Great option for family with kids and pets
We are a family of 4 (2 kids, aged 3 and 8) with a dog. A fenced in yard, carpeting, and a bunk bed was high on the list of priorities for the kids and dog. The property was ideal for what we were looking for. It is located on a quiet road one block from the bay beach. The kids enjoyed scootering and walking there each day. The house itself was very clean and there was more than enough room for our family. You would easily be comfortable if you are a group with more guests. Debbie, the owner, was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. We'll definitely look to stay at the property again in the future.

We had a great stay at this home! Close to the bay for amazing sunsets and a 15 minute walk to Harpoons on the Bay. Debbie was very responsive to any questions we had. All the amenities you need are in the home. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s roomier than I thought. Fenced in yard but lots of bunnies which proved to be a little challenging for our dogs who wanted to chase them! Lovely place to stay overall
