4.94 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviewsThe Coral Cottage steps from the Delaware Bay!
The aptly named Coral Cottage is a lovely, charming getaway suitable for families of any size - kids or canines. Our three small pups enjoyed the roomy kitchen, large backyard and quick walk to the beach. The adults loved the comfy beds, outdoor grill and fire pit, and the full size washer and dryer which turned out to be an unexpected convenience. It is a very peaceful and quiet stay just a few minutes from various attractions. Our host, Liz, was great at communicating and setting expectations with plenty of tips on dining and entertainment options. We had such a pleasant time and look forward to doing it again.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 208 reviewsCozy Cottage: Hot Tub~Gas Fireplace~Pet Friendly!
The cozy cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for my husband and I. Whether staying in and enjoying the warmth of the space or heading into Cape May, just 15 minute drive we were able to enjoy the shops and restaurants before heading back and relaxing in the hot tub. The holiday decorations were a nice touch! We enjoyed walks in the morning and being just steps from the beach we were really able to disconnect. The cottage is very well cared for, the hosts have put much attention to detail in making this a memorable place for guests to stay and we look forward to our next stay!

Me and my Wife had a great stay. We didn’t have any issues with the flies. The goal is to keep the door closed and you won’t get that many inside. The beach is right outside the door and makes for easy access. Will definitely be back! Thanks Jeff

We had an excellent stay in Cape May with our pup. The beach house is private and the surrounding is peaceful. We love watching the sunset every day. Lots to do and see around Cape May. Don’t forget to visit both wineries: Cape May Winery and Willow Brook Winery. Great for a nice long lunch with a glass of wine.

This house was amazing. Lots of high end finishes, comfortable and plentiful furniture and beautiful. The fenced yard was a nice bonus for a beach house -- perfect for a dog. You can't go wrong with this house.

Everything was lovely ! The house and the view are beautiful ! It has everything you need and is very comfortable. The backyard firepit was really nice and the beach is a just a short walk over the dune. Bring your bug zapper for the gnats and mosquitos. We brought this and it was exactly what we needed to keep them under control. You can watch the sunrise every morning and its amazing ! Thanks for a really nice fall getaway weekend that we enjoyed very much !

Condo in Dewey Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsEveryone gets a king in this Penthouse
Absolutely wonderful with the most beautiful sunsets from the balcony! The property was spotless and fully stocked including lots of extras that many rentals do not provide. This property has the best of both worlds - some shared amenities with the Hyatt Hotel and then extra exclusive amenities for just the privately owned residences - like the infinity heated outdoor pool that was still open in October and was delightful! The location was ideal with a short walk to many great restaurants and the beach. Jason was an exceptional host that responded within minutes and provided lots of information about the property and area recommendations. I would highly recommend booking this unit with Jason!

Great stay! First the location was amazing: right on the bay with private beach access 1 house over, 10 minutes from grocery and convenience stores and great restaurants, 15-18 minutes from Bethany beach and boardwalk. Second the amenities at the house were perfect: so much communal space to relax, well stocked including kids toys/ play area, sand toys, bikes, kayaks, stroller, beach wagon, umbrella, beach blanket, everything we needed to entertain our toddler just steps to the sand and bay. Third, the house lay out was very accommodating for larger groups/ families. There were 2 primary suites (one on the upper level and one on the main level) both with large walk-in closets (with air vents) that had pack-and-plays set up in them. 2 smaller secondary bedrooms upstairs, but one also had a full kids bed in the walk-in that was decorated princess themed. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had most meals at home. Such a perfect spot, we will be back next year.

Fantastic get away. You can't beat the location. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Smaller feel than pictures but still very nice. Being right on the boardwalk allowed us to stay in the beach getaway mood.
Condo in Bethany Beach
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 173 reviewsBeautiful Bethany Beach-View Condo
We had a fabulous time at Raj's condo. The view is amazing, the kitchen fully stocked making meal prep like being at home, the beds were comfortable, and the condo has a great layout. Note the pool closest to the condo is not open after Labor Day. There is, however, another pool open a few buildings away you are able to use. We walked to the center of town several times for dinner (walk is about 15min). We also had a great time at restaurants right across the street that had live music and amazing seafood. I would definitely return to Raj's condo.

This is a lovely home in a peaceful and safe neighborhood, perfect for families. We would stay again! It really is just steps to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and supplies to prepare meals. Everything was in working condition. The pool is beautiful! I loved the lights at night. The entire pool area is gated and locked, good to know for little ones. The shower had great water pressure. The outdoor shower has hot water too! The TV was very easy to use and had many options. Of note, the entire upstairs could accommodate a second family with a mini fridge, half bathroom, two beds, separate entrance, sofa/tv/table/patio - the photos really don’t do this home justice. I was very impressed when I walked inside. My kids LOVED the adorable spiral staircase to get upstairs! We had no problems with it, but it would be hard to keep little climbers off of it. The master bedroom is downstairs, something to consider with littles that wake up in the night and need to get down.

Mark's place was a great spot for our family as we visited extended family in New Jersey. We had 5 adults and 5 kids (ages 2-8) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The location provides great access to the beach, and we enjoyed having the pool as an option to swim as well. There is ample seating space, which was great for visiting with family. Mark's hospitality exceeded our expectations, as he went above and beyond in providing more than what we needed during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope to visit again!

We had a great time! My family decided to book this place for a little thanksgiving getaway. Although it was cold and could not enjoy the area as much, the view from the house is incredible!! Waking up to that view was so peaceful. I would imagine during the summer and spring is breath taking.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at Karen's house. The layout was perfect for us. With four kids, having three bedrooms on one side of the house for them and the master bedroom on the other side of the house for us gave two tired parents a little break. The fenced-in yard was great for our beagle. We used the barbecue too, which was ready to go, with a nice glass outdoor table with 6 chairs next the bbq. The house is in a low-key, non-tourist area, right down the street from the beach, a quick stroll, literally two to three minutes. The beach is beautiful. In the morning at low tide, great to look for shells and enjoy the view; in the evening at high tide, beautiful sunsets to enjoy. Karen was super responsive to any and all questions we had. She gave us ideas for kid-centric activities in the area, as well as recommendations for restaurants. We had a great few days here and would definitely consider coming back. Thank you, Karen!
Home in Lower Township
5 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviewsWater Views! Private Beach - Luxury Beach Home
Stayed there with 5 adults and there was plenty of space. It was very cozy and the layout of the house is very nice. Everything was very clean and tidy. Felt more like we were staying at a friends house rather than an Air B N B. Joe was very proactive in sending messages bf we even checked in that day. Joe was flexible on allowing an earlier check in as we had requested. Only down fall was the Ubers are not very accommodating if you have more than 4 ppl. I assume bc it's out of season and in November. Trying to reserve an Uber XL to accommodate 5 ppl was hard. We did find a very responsive taxi service though , and they were very nice. Expensive but nice. Only other thing I would say is that "cleaning fee" that is assessed is a bit pricey. Almost 300.00 for a cleaning fee and there were instructions on what to do with everything to assist in cleaning. I can understand assessing it perhaps AFTER the fact if the place is left dirty, but cleaning fee is a bit high.

We had a small family group stay at the Beach House in North East for Thanksgiving, and it was perfect in every way for our group. Plenty of room, fantastic location and water views, easy beach access, very well-equipped kitchen, warm and cozy living room area, and great communication from Alexis. We hope to return again soon!

Bungalow in Wildwood Villas
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 171 reviewsLittle Moondoggies Digs Coastal Bungalow
This place is truly one-of-a-kind, and you can feel the love and care the owner pours into every detail. Any concerns from past reviews have been thoughtfully addressed, so I wouldn’t recommend sorting by the negative comments—they’re outdated. The only policy that remains is bringing your own sheets/towels/paper products, but that’s just part of how the owner keeps the cost so affordable. She’s incredibly kind, and we’re so glad we decided to stay here! Plus, it’s right across from the beach, which is a huge bonus!
