This was our second year staying a week here. The house is exactly as listed and described. My girls absolutely love it and they feel like it is their own vacation home. It is right across the street from the beach and super convenient to run back and forth from the beach and the house. The location is a nice quiet break from the busy section of cape may yet still only a quick 10-15min drive to all the shopping and restaurants.

We could not have asked for a better stay for our family with young kids. Beautiful home, just steps from the beach, historic but updated with all the amenities you might need. The wrap-around front porch was perfect for breezy summer evenings, and the outside shower in the backyard was so handy to have with kids coming off the beach. Kitchen is well-stocked with appliances and utensils. The owner was very communicative and thoughtful. We’ve stayed in a number of other beach houses that felt like rentals; this one truly felt like a home. We hope to be back!

Lovely home. One of the few homes where the owner feels the need to keep it instead of knock it down and start over. Kudos to you Linda. I wish more owners felt the same. Don't expect super modern here, expect the feel of an updated original home that has been taken care of by its owner. A quiet place to put your feet up and relax. One of the few older homes that has not been replaced by the modern minimansions that have been popping up all over the Point. If you like the feel of an original home at the Point this is for you. Home is clean, has all the kitchen supplies you would need. A seating area in the backyard for your meals. The owner is easy to reach and is responsive. We have been renting this home for the last 3 years and look forward to our stay every year. Close to beach and close to town. On a rainy day you can go to some of the antique stores around the area. Our daily routine is to have coffee in the morning on the porch, a bike ride to town, back to the house for lunch, out to the beach for the afternoon, back out for dinner and wrap it up with an evening walk and then some quiet time on the porch. We leave all our worries behind for a week and feel rejuvenated and supper sad to leave when it is all over. Thank you Linda for allowing us to share your beautiful home again. We really appreciate it.

We had a wonderful time at the house! We loved how close it was to the beach, and easily walkable to Lake Lily as well. The home was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. As the listing states, the stairs to the upstairs are quite steep (think climbing a ladder) but they are well lit and have dual railings. The screened porch is just fantastic, a perfect place for morning coffee or anytime to just watch the butterflies flit among the milkweed. There’s a nice outdoor shower and back deck area that made coming home from a day at the beach hassle-free. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!

The spacious wrap-around screened-in porch, floor-to-ceiling windows that open to the fresh air, and sleep-inducing late-night ocean sounds will not disappoint.
