A Hidden treasure on the Delaware Bay
About this cabin rental
This little cabin like home is perfect, if your'e looking to escape from your everyday life. Its like being on a far away island, but your'e in the marsh and nature of southern Jersey. You want to bring all your necessities when coming in because the closest grocery store is about 30 mins away. We offer kayaks to be used and a vast variety of fishing equipment. A fishermans' dream!!! Don't forget your camera because the sunsets are so amazing you'll want to capture the beauty. The wildlife is outstanding, with the migratory birds that come in, that includes two beautiful bald eagles that have claimed this as there home. Walking the beach at low tide or simply sitting on the front porch will surely make this a special getaway for anyone needing to destress and relax.

Nice quiet out of the way place right on the water. The house had everything we needed for the week. I would have liked a medium size sauce pan for pasta but that's just me. Many sized pots available for cooking and frying. Sea glass aplenty just wait for low tide and explore. During our stay we saw Eagles, otters, crabs, American Oyster Catcher, turtles in the water and babies on the beach. We enjoyed fires by the water and watched the stars. Would definitely rent this house again.

Loved our family getaway. We used this bay spot as an anchor during our trip to south Jersey. The private beach was spectacular and our kids and Labrador loved exploring the property.
For those favored by mosquitos, this location may be a challenge. Also, the shower situation for little ones wasn’t ideal but it was our error in not taking it into consideration.

The location was beautiful. It was very secluded, disconnected (literally-there was no WiFi and very little service, which we enjoyed) and peaceful, completely different than what we are used to and a very welcome change.
The house was just the right size for the 4 of us(bunk beds and queen bed in one room and queen and twin in the other) Wow what a view! Every window you looked out of you just saw nature at its finest. We saw eagles and hawks and lots of baby turtles. The kayaks provided were lots of fun. My boys used them every single day. The bay was clean and definitely swimmable. My dog loved the private beach she had all to herself.
The only "issue" was the biting flies, it's not anyone's fault but they did get a little overwhelming, especially around 2 pm at high tide. Strongly suggest you do your research on sprays or ways to try to keep them away before vacationing in this area in the summer.

When we were greeted by the song of Marsh Wrens when we climbed out of car on arrival, I knew we were at the right place. Shorebirds and Marsh birds galore. A Cozy but roomy front area, good for gathering for meals, playing games, and watching the tide come in. Kayak paddles on the estuary at low tide. A wonderful place to spend time with the family we love.

If your looking for a property on a private beach away from everyone then your looking at the right property. The location and the views are amazing.
The property has all the amendments you would need but note this is about location and not internet or tv. Yes the property has some quirks but come on at $275 a night and the property literally on the beach you’ll find it hard to beat.
The property owners are great and reply quickly to any questions.
My only suggestion would be to have a welcome book / folder to suggest local shops, restaurants, beaches ect and house instructions.
Overall a great stay.

We had an amazing time at Dyers Cove. Our dog was able to run leash free on the beach. The kids rescued horseshoe crabs at low tide, found sea turtles and clue crabs. Watching the sun set and rise each day was breathtaking. The house had everything needed for cooking and serving meals. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return.

We were disappointed in our brief stay. Paid for 4 nights and we left less than 24 hours after arriving. As soon as we pulled up there was some kind of horse fly trap, not a good sign. The house has aged since the photos on VRBO, rot and mold on siding. The black flies follow you into the house every time you open the door(door closer doesn’t work), fly swatters hanging in every room. House smells, air fresheners are abundant, but they can’t mask the smell, it’s old and tons of moisture, hence the smell. The house is listing to the side, when you lay in the bed your feet are higher than your head, I told the owner, he stated it’s survived 3 hurricanes. Outside was advertised as a wonderland, not quite in our opinion. Broken glass litters the sand, I picked up so many shards I lost count, this is not a swimmable beach for children. They must have filled the shoreline in the past with broken concrete and cinder blocks, it’s everywhere. We found broken toilet bowl covers, bricks, glass and lots of dead horseshoe crabs. I could keep writing but I think my point has been made. After a year of quarantine this essential worker and his family were utterly disappointed.

My children and I got to spend an amazing week on the water at this property. The listing is exactly as advertised…small beach cottage directly on the Delaware Bay with a private beach. My boys loved searching for shells, sea creatures and sea glass every day. Close enough to Cape May and Wildwood for day trips, but it was so nice to go back to the cottage to escape the crowds. The sunsets were amazing, beds were super comfortable, and house had everything you could need. The hosts were attentive and communicated throughout our stay. We would love to come back again!!!

Great getaway
We had a great time with our kids and the dog enjoyed herself too. There were plenty of opportunities to see wildlife including great views of bald eagles, horseshoe crabs, etc. We came prepared with most things that we would need so being far from the nearest grocery store was not an issue for us. Lack of reliable cell service was also a net positive as it meant putting away the phone/computer.

Great location to get away from everything...
We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage with a private beach and amazing scenery! The enclosed patio was our favorite evening spot to sit and listen to the waves.
Bill was always very responsive to any questions. Highly recommend. (Bring a lot of insect repellent for horseflies, depending on time of year!)

We enjoyed staying at this rustic bayfront cabin. Our children ages 3-12 simply loved the water and caught several nice fish. There were lots of biting flies so bring plenty of bug spray! The house is rustic but it has all the essentials.

Perfectly secluded
This is a perfect little cabin in a fantastic, and quiet location. It’s so hard to find a rustic beach house that’s tucked away these days. Most beach houses are on top of each other and huge, and modern, and that’s just not what I was looking for. This place is a perfectly rustic cabin, with very comfortable beds, and a breathtaking view. It has all of your basic necessities, and kept both warm on a 20 degree night, and cool on a 65 degree day. The host Bill is a great guy, was always available to communicate with, and you can tell he truly loves to share this special place with others. We brought our two dogs and even though it was really windy and quite chilly during our stay, low tide was a dream for them. This place is truly what dream are made of for someone who loves rustic charm, enjoys the simple things, doesn’t want to be bothered by noise or chaos, and loves the bay. I can’t wait to come back when it’s warm and spend more time exploring, and fishing, and maybe even get back to writing. There’s so much inspiration here. Thanks Bill!

Amazing spot directly on private beach
Just like many other reviewers, we we’re thrilled with this house directly in the Delaware Bay. The views from the porch of both the ocean/bay and surrounding wetlands were stunning. It is completely private and we also had close-by sightings of herons, eagles, kingfishers, wild ducks, and zillions of sea birds. Great place!

Birthday Getaway
Me and my partner had a wonderful long weekend here. We both work in Philadelphia and wanted to disconnect in a safe remote place due to Covid. The house was super clean! You are right on the water... the sun room is just amazing the views truly make you recenter yourself. The house had everything that you would need or think of. If you are looking to disconnect and just forget the world for a bit this is the place to go!! We will be returning soon!

We stayed here for Labor Day weekend and had a blast. We truly lucked out with the weather and you can't go wrong when the beach is 20ft from the door. Bill was super responsive and shared a lot of interesting information about the area. You really feel like you are in the middle of no where which makes for great sun rises, sunsets and star gazing. All of the wild life in the area was entertaining as well.Cell phone reception can be spotty, but that was kind of the point.Had all of the necessary kitchen appliances, though the coffee pot was only 5 cups, so we bought a 12cup one and left it there. :)The house isn't the most up to date, but it had comfortable beds, clean kitchen and bathroom, a beach right next to it and a responsive owner.all around a+ trip.

Little slice of paradise
It's like you've somehow magically transported from NJ to your own private beach at lands end. The house may need a few repairs here and there, but it's clean and comfortable with a wonderful sun porch to watch sunsets and sunrises from. Walking right out onto the beach any time you want is just perfect, and our whole family loved it. Big sulfur smell with the water, but we brought our own, so it didn't matter to us. We hope to be able to go back soon, and the owners are very responsive and nice.
