The listing was as advertised, and the host was prompt in answering any questions I had. The only thing I might add is exactly what the parking is because I was told 2 parking spots, and since other people were staying in the other condos, there was not enough parking for all of us. I know there is parking at the end of the block as well, but due to the tides, the end of the block floods. Knowing ahead of my trip that the parking arrangements would have changed, the fact that I had 2 cars.

Old school rustic beach cottage right on the bay. Perfect for our family of 5. The master has a queen. Room 2 had two double beds and room 3 has two, twin beds. Window/wall AC units are in each bedroom and also the main room. You share a deck with the house next door but it’s not an issue. You spend your time on the deck in the back of the house. It’s tight (the width of an Adirondack chairs plus about 6 inches) but it’s fine and you get used to it. And there is a table in the communal area you can easily use too for meals. The views are stunning. When the tide is out there are tons of tide pools and great for the kids to explore. The sunset is incredible. High tide it’s 15 feet from porch.You are 25 minute drive to Cape May downtown area. It’s doable and didn’t feel like a nuisance. Felt nice to come back to the super quiet area the cottage is located in. It is 10-15 minutes away from going somewhere quick to get coffee or breakfast so you have to plan for that. You know what you are going to get. Basic old school cottage but it works. Stunning views annd quiet. Outdoor shower downstairs and easy access to beach chairs under the deck. We will definitely be back. My recommendation to the owner to take this from a 9 to a 10 is literally 500 worth of upgrades and basic needs from Costco. Provide liquid detergent for the washer, hand soap in each bathroom, ground coffee, buy some new towels and comforters for the beds. You do that and it’s a perfect trip.

We stayed here in July 2025 and had a great experience. The view is amazing and the house has everything we needed. We had two families - four adults and three children and the house was perfect for us. The cleaning crew could have done a better job - but the owner is aware and is working on addressing that. The house was still in good overall a shape, though. You can't beat the sunsets over the bay on the deck. The beach was empty when we were there so it felt like we had our own private beach. Jellyfish were an issue though so that may have contributed to that. We plan to return next year!

Great location on the beach but Needs better cleaning (sofa/shower/ mattress cover) and available /useable appliance remotes and lighting for the cost. Additionally, exterminator for insects and ants
