About this property

BIRDERS! Our house is located just a block from the 300 acre wildlife preserve, and a block from the beach. Well over 200 species have been documented within a half mile from the house! March and Aril are prime months for sightings. We are also just 12 minutes from Cape May Point state park.
We are sold out for July and August, but still have a few openings for May and June. Beat the summer crowds! Our rental home is located in Cape May Beach, just one block from the beach and 1.5 blocks from the 300 acre preserve! The beach is lovely, calm and great for kayaking, fishing, and perfect for families. It is also DOG FRIENDLY! The preserve features walking/biking paths, a fresh water lake with trout and largemouth bass, and fantastic bird watching!
Plus, our sunsets are unmatched anywhere on the east coast!
We are located in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood, yet just 10 minutes from Downtown Cape May and 15 minutes from Wildwood.
Our area is great no matter what the season. In Summer, the cool bay breezes invite you to just kick back with a cocktail and enjoy the sand between your toes. Fall brings festivals seemingly every day. Cape May is absolutely THE Christmas destination- you have to see it to believe it. And Spring offers great, uncrowded access to all of our tours and attractions. Our climate is great, we don't usually get much snow, and even if we do, our roads are FLAT!!
The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fully fenced yard, central AC/heat, expanded cable and a VERY well stocked kitchen.
We supply blankets, pillows, and towels, as well as starter supplies of hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, tp, garbage bags etc.
Bed sizes are 2 queens, 1 double, and 1 twin.
We love dogs! A second doggie may be considered for a nominal fee. Unfortunately, our insurance says no to a few breeds.
Cape May Beach is truly is a very special neighborhood. We have lived here for 22 years and wouldn't live anywhere else! We are sure you will love it also.

Excellent accommodations

This home was just perfect. Everything was well stocked. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean and the street was quiet. It is a short walk to the beach and the nature preserve was in walking distance too. The hosts Pete and Janet were outstanding. I am sure we will be staying here again in the future.

Great location

We spent Christmas weekend here during the deep freeze of 2022! The whole family (including dog) stayed cozy and warm. We braved the cold for a short walk to the bay to take in the sunset and also another short walk to the Cox Creek Wildlife Management area. Both items highly recommended! Pete communicated well with us and we were very happy with our stay.

Amazing experience!

We had the best time in Cape May, and this rental made all the difference! The property was exactly as advertised. It was clean and well laid-out, the neighborhood was so quiet and the short walk to the beach was a fantastic amenity. We are already talking about coming back and bringing more family. The owners were wonderful to work with both before and during our stay, and they stayed in close communication with us and answered any questions we had. I'd most definitely recommend this place to anybody looking to spend some time in Cape May!

The location was very convenient to all the places we wanted we see! The yard was just right for our dogs one small one medium. The fenced in yard was a great bonus. The house had everything you could possibly think of for cooking drinking to beach chairs and towels. We loved it so much we already booked for next year!!!

Bayside

We had an amazing vacation. The house was very clean. Some of the family visited. It was nice having the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. And we could let our dog out in the fenced in yard which was a plus. The neighborhood was very peaceful and it was a short walk to the beach at the end of the road. We did go to Wildwood Crest to go in the ocean. Just a short drive. I recommend this house to families. There were a lot of nice restaurants nearby. We did ride our bikes every morning to the canal where the ferry goes in and out. And Harpoons on the Bay was a lot of fun.

We stayed for a long weekend at the end of September. The house was very clean and spacious inside with plenty of room for the five of us + pet. Beds and furniture were comfortable and kitchen was well-equipped with appliances and kitchenware. Beach is a short walk away. Pete was a great host and very responsive to questions. Very nice stay!

A Nice Getaway

This property was perfect for us, cozy, but roomy at the same time. Enough bedrooms (3) for other family members to visit. Two full baths, laundry area, dishwasher and all the necessities needed in the kitchen. Everything was clean and there were helpful notes from the owners posted. The beach was just a block away and there is also a nature preserve area for bird watching or just enjoying a nature walk. Hope to get back again in 2023.

Great for a family or friends get away.

The owners living next door was great, they greeted us and helped us while we were there with a small issue. The house is private enough that you don’t feel like you’re in a fish bowl which was a concern for us. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and you can’t really use a beach cart because there are stairs at the beach entrance. The water is calm and shallow, we floated for hours every day and it was marvelous. The sunsets are better then in key west so bring snacks and a drink to enjoy it. There were no crowds and it was our most relaxing each stay in 20 years.

About the host

Hosted by Pete Bandel

My wife and I have lived in Cape May Beach for the last 21 years. Every day we experience the beauty of this area. The beach is uncrowded, clean , and pet friendly. It offers great fishing, kayaking, shelling, birding, and just plain relaxing! The sunsets are as beautiful as Key West.
We love to walk the entire area with our dog Dexter. Our rental and our own house are located between the beach and a wildlife preserve that is truly spectacular. The lake is great for fresh water fishing and kayaking. and the paths are great for birding, walking, biking, etc.
And speaking of birding, over 200 species have been recorded within 1/2 mile of the house!
The Wildwood Boardwalk offers rides, amusements, arcades, and lot of food stands as well as a huge water park.
All the charm of Victorian Cape May is just 10 minutes away. You must experience Cape May at Christmas Time!
We hope you will visit the area and fall in love with it as we have.
We are very accessible should you need anything during your stay, and if you have never been here, we will be glad to steer you in the right directions!

Why they chose this property

Clean, well equipped, tastefully furnished in the best beach area on the East Coast.
The best sunsets on the entire east coast!

What makes this property unique

I winter we have pine and holly trees that are green and snow does not come often. In spring the trees bloom and the birds sing!
ENJOY THIS HOUSE FOR WEEKEND GET AWAYS or stay a week or two to be in a low traffic, temperate area. Cape May is open year round, and is a great place to walk and enjoy a lunch or dinner.
