Gorgeous Luxury Condo with stunning ocean views!
Condo was great! Spacious 2bed 2bath, fit our family of 4 with room to spare. Everything was as described, very clean, very new. The only tiny complaint is that the windows in bedrooms don’t have blackout shades so if you’re traveling with kids bring those tape on ones from Amazon. Everything else was perfect and would absolutely stay again!

Flip Flops Condo w/Private Porch + Pool/Parking
Antonio’s place was absolutely perfect for Irish Weekend! We walked everywhere for the festival, and it was nice to be able to stop back in to cool off. We were able to walk a couple blocks to pick up the Jitney to visit other parts of the island. Plenty of room for 6 of us- very comfortable and spacious. Antonio was very prompt with responding to any questions we had and was extra accommodating. I would definitely book to stay here again!

Ocean View a Block From Beach w Free Parking!
This place is an absolute gem!!! Super clean and well maintained home, beautiful yard & peaceful porch, great host and steps from the beach!! Our family of four had an amazing time and cannot wait to come back next yard. It’s the perfect spot and such an awesome value!

Beachfront condo. Walk everywhere & Pet-friendly!
This was a reasonably-priced, quiet, homey vacation spot for a three-night getaway. We loved the proximity to the beach, boardwalk, Washington St. mall, and Victorian neighborhood. The beautiful front porch was such a lovely place to relax in the spring sunshine!

APT#1 -2Bdrm 1 bath 2 Min Walk to Beach, Eat,Shop
When we arrived and were received by Sandra, we felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Charming, well located, well established, long-running vacation rental with great Cape May vibes all day. We had an incredible family vacation here and look forward to coming back soon!

Stone Harbor Water Views
Louise’s beach house is an absolute gem - it’s located right on Stone Harbor boulevard and faces the beautiful marshlands that is dock-accessible from the house. The space inside is small but very well kept and has everything you’d need if it’s just two of you, may be a tighter squeeze for more folks. The outside space is such a nice place to either grill, lounge on the patio, sunbathe on the deck, or just take in the views (especially during sunset). Louise is a great host and very friendly - her and her family live above the Airbnb on the second floor so we got to meet them on occasion. Overall a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! Would recommend to any of our friends/family :)

Beach condo, incl linens, sm dog friendly, pool
Jocelyn’s place was very nice! Clean and cozy. Loved the location being close to the beach. Pool area and patio were well kept. Also loved the fact there were BBQ grills available on site. Condo was supplied with beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart which was convenient.

Feet from the OC NJ Boardwalk, New & Turnkey!
This place was exactly as advertised. While it is small (like being on a cruise ship) it is laid out nicely. It was clean and comfortable for my overnight stay in OCNJ. Steve did a great job of communicating check in instructions up front and followed up with me in the days leading up to and the day of my visit. Checking in and out was a breeze and everything was within walking distance. Would rent here again.

Shore to Please-11 Beds-Beach View
wonderful place by the bay to spend Christmas with the family! lots of bedrooms as well as a bunkbed room made it really convenient and nice

Strathmere Beachfront House
This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was outstanding!! The house was gorgeous inside and out and meticulously clean. The host, Brooke, was very accessible and responsive. Everything in the house was first class. The kitchen appliances, the chilled wine rack, the enormous, superb quality TV, the washer and dryer, the Dyson dryers in every room to the Aesop soap, etc. The balconies overlooking the ocean provided a spectacular view, especially the colorful sunrise. The path to the beach abuts the house. Even though we rented it in winter, we just had to walk to the beach. The rooms were all extremely comfortable. The primary on the top floor had a walk-in closet as well as a spacious bathroom. The main bedroom on the second floor also had a spacious bathroom. We loved it!

Beautiful Beach House One House From Beach
Place was exactly what we wanted. No issues other than what was mentioned (temperamental windows)😀

Fully Renovated (2025!) Bayfront Retreat!
Katie was amazing! Very responsive and took care of everything immediately to make us feel at home. We were unaware that we had to bring our own bedding and Katie handled the situation with grace and allowed us to use her personal items, and compensated us for the inconvenience. Overall the stay was amazing, the house was beautiful, clean and well put together. Staying at Katie’s place is a must if you are in the area! Thank you Katie for a great stay!

Bayview Cottage - Magnificent Bay Views & Sunsets!
This is a wonderful space, a charming cottage with a great view of the bay and just steps from the beach. We saw dolphins, bald eagles, collected sea glass and Cape May diamonds. Natalie's restaurant and activity recommendations were excellent -- we went to the Cape May Zoo, West5 Pub, Harpoons, Uncle Bills ... all great choices. We also cooked at home a couple times. This was a great spot for my family and I'd definitely return!

Bayside Bungalow - Steps to the beach!
We had an amazing weekend at Brandon’s beach cottage. It exceeded our expectations! The decor and layout were very nice and comfortable. Loved being able to walk down the street to the bay for some beautiful sunsets. We can’t wait to book another trip. Thank you for your hospitality.

Cape May Boat House (Marina)
Our stay was amazing! The home was wonderful and in a great location! It was our first time in Cape May, and it was absolutely beautiful! We couldn’t recommend these hosts enough!

Stone Harbor Bar on the Bay
Nick’s house was perfect for a Stone Harbor wedding weekend. The view of the bay and sunset are spectacular and the accommodations are comfortable make really smart use of the space so families can socialize together or have their own privacy. There were fun games in the enclosed bar room - family had a blast. We would return in a heartbeat.

Ocean Front View | On Beach | Pool |Wildwood Crest
Umi and Bill were wonderful hosts. Everything was exactly as described, great communication, very clear instructions, lots of recommendations, a full book layed out very clearly with sections of anything you would want to know about the area, what to do, restaurants they recommended. The unit was pristine, had everything we could have needed & then some and offered an amazing view of the ocean. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at any of Umi and Bill's properties in the future and I look forward to staying with them again!

Escape to the Sea Beach Block OCNJ
Great location! Right by the boardwalk and Warren was very responsive and helpful with all of my questions! My husband and I will definitely be back.

Summer is coming unit 2
We are having a blast. Steps from the beach. The place is perfect for a couple looking for a romantic beach getaway. We are enjoying our stay immensely and the price for the location is great. We will be coming back!!!!

Condo 85' from Beach! NEW Roof Deck! Sleeps 8!
Great place, location, and host. Perfect for a trip with my wife and our two sons. We felt at home and to top it off, could jump over to the boardwalk in just a couple minute. Great spot. We have stayed in many places in Wildwood, all have some pros and cons, this was one of our favorites.

Seapointe Village Oceanview Condo
Yelena was very communicative and the listing was as advertised. Great community and location. We’d be happy to return.

Cute & Cozy Retro Condominium
Everything was as described. It is truly cute and cozy. Above all, Lorraine is the best host. We arrived after 10:00 on Christmas night and had a little difficulty with the parking space lock box. Lorraine actually called me and walked us through the process all the way to the condo! We felt terrible to bother her but she was so gracious. Everything we needed was there and ready for us. The bed is comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water. We had the best stay. Thank you Lorraine for sharing your cute and cozy condo. Oh, and there's amazing views from the place.

Oceanfront penthouse condo with pool and views
This place is an absolute gem if you are traveling with children! Not only was the condo fully stocked for cooking/cleaning, but they also provide a storage unit downstairs to keep all beach toys and anything that may have collected sand! We were very impressed by Dan’s communication (prior to arrival and during our stay). The condo is as described, but better, considering there’s an additional amenity (a rooftop) that allows you to catch a sunrise or sunset with unobstructed views! We loved the close proximity to Sunrise Park, yet nice distance from the noise of the boardwalk. We had a lovely stay, and we would absolutely recommend!

N Wildwood Condo w/ Ocean Views
This condo was a fantastic place to stay during the off-season. It was spotless and had everything you needed, and the linens were included, which was great! Even in the off-season, there were still plenty of places to grab a bite or beverage within walking distance. The view was great! Brandon was responsive and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly.
