The first thing to say is that the view is perfect for enjoying the sunset. The location is good if you want to find peace and quiet, but the house is still far from everything. As for the house itself, it's a long way from the description. Let's just say the photographer was good... In fact, this house is in need of serious renovation. Comfort is not at all up to the asking price. Several lights didn't work and the air-conditioning makes an unbearable noise. If you want to do a bit of cooking, you'd better watch out: the appliances are old and the cutlery and plates come straight from Goodwill. We also had to cohabit with tons of ants everywhere (kitchen, bathroom...).
The plumbing in the bedroom bathroom also needs unclogging. When we arrived, toilet paper was missing. Fortunately, the agency that manages the house was very responsive and always replied quickly to our messages. In the end, location isn't everything. Okay, the view is breathtaking, but the asking price in relation to the services provided is totally obcene.
We will not return to this house and strongly advise against it.

Hi Dominique, we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful view and the peace and quiet of the location, but we’re sorry that the home didn’t meet your expectations. We take guest feedback seriously, and after discussing your concerns with the homeowner, they wanted to share the following:
- We were both surprised and disappointed to hear your feedback as we were in constant communication with you during your stay.
- The listing photos are intended to accurately reflect the property, but we’re sorry if the home didn’t match your expectations. We have made recent updates, including new carpet, chairs, and kitchen appliances.
- We were unaware of any concerns with the A/C or plumbing during your stay and wish you had brought it to our attention during one of our many conversations. The A/C is relatively new, and we haven’t received complaints about noise before or since your stay. We’ll be sure to have it inspected to ensure it’s functioning properly.
- The plumbing was checked after your departure, and no issues were found, but we’ll continue to monitor this to prevent future problems.
- We were perplexed by your comment about several lights not working during your stay. When you reached out you had stated it was only the porch light that was not working. We promptly responded and offered to send the maintenance team to address the issue. To which you politely declined as you did not wish to have any interruptions to your stay.
- While the property is sprayed regularly for pests, we will have an additional treatment done to address any ant issues. We encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can promptly address any issues or concerns.
- It is important to note, that we provide a starter supply of paper products, including toilet paper. However, when you reached out to request additional toilet paper, we promptly responded and sent the cleaner with extra toilet paper and a bottle of wine as a gesture of goodwill.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving the property for future guests.
Overall a nice place. There were ants in the kitchen which brings the cleanliness rating down. The property description is accurate. We did expected towels included would also mean hand towels for bathroom and dish towels for kitchen but these were not provided. So in that the description was not clear. The beach area could use a little upkeep (removing debris). It was nice to be at a quiet, relaxing spot to get away from east side traffic and noise - but close to get to everything like Wildwood boardwalk and restaurants or Cape May beach. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful view of the bay, quiet neighborhood, but not too far from Wildwood and Cape May beaches.

The place is wonderful, located in a nice secluded neighborhood. Close and convenient distance to many attractions. Will most definitely return.
