Best Backyard in Cape May!

You’ve found the perfect beach house for the whole family with a great sunset view. Large rooms and family space offer a comfortable beach vacation for multi generations, think one level floor plan and handrails for grandma. Relax after a day on the beach on the spacious screened in back porch watching the tide come and go. Pet friendly, linens included, clean and newly renovated and just a mile to the ocean.
The space:
Our beach house has a nautical vibe from generations of sailors. My father like his father was a Delaware River Pilot navigating ships up and down the Delaware Bay, from Lewes to Philadelphia. The property this house sits on was my grandfathers vegetable garden and the cousins that remain have many amazing memories of summers in Cape May.
Our family offers this house for vacation rentals, with lots of amenities including linens and towels for your convenience. You can cook a whole family dinner in the full kitchen or take a stroll to the many great restaurants just down the street.
We do not use a real estate service like many of the rentals in our area so that you receive a more personal experience. Our home is your home.
Guest access:
The whole house is yours except for the attic and garage, which will be locked.
Other things to note:
Along with the best beach on the Jersey coast, Cape May is a birders paradise. We have our very own mated pair of Osprey that return every March. Bring your binoculars to watch them raise their newest family on our platform in the marsh.
Smart TVs are all chrome cast so bring your streaming services logon info or watch the free tv included.
We supply all sheets, blankets, pillows and towels…so you don’t have to pack them or pay more. Brand new mattresses just added this spring.
Books, games and kids stuff are stored in the hutch. Help yourself.
There is one camera on the garage facing the driveway for security purposes.
Although the house is one level there are steps leading up to the entrances and a step down to the screened in porch. There are ramps available on request should you need wheelchair accessibility. The walk in shower is not a roll in wheel chair shower. The house is handicap accessible but not totally wheelchair accessible.
Just let us know in advance if you would need the ramps.

Such a great property for people of all ages. I had my elderly father with me and the house amenities helped so much. My daughter and dogs really enjoyed the backyard. So sad that we had to leave!

Cape May Getaway
We can’t say enough positive things about our booking and visit to Jean’s house in Cape May. To start, we had a very last minute need to reschedule and Jean was extremely accommodating. She was incredibly helpful in providing places to eat and go where we could include our pup. And all food she recommended was great. The home was spacious and had everything we needed. And it truly does have the best back yard in Cape May. The location was amazing. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit.

Spectacular sunsets in September
Our family had a wonderful time in Cape May at Jean’s place. Our days began with gazing at the marsh’s bird life in the morning, Breezy sunshine on the afternoon’s uncrowded beaches, quiet evenings with all the comforts of home.

Home away from home
My family and I (including our two golden doodles) had such a wonderful stay here. The backyard and screened in porch are over the top. House was incredibly clean and hosts go out of their way to make you feel taken care of as if you are truly their guests. You really don’t need to bring anything - they have you covered with all of your necessities. Location is amazing - it’s a five minute drive or bike ride to the downtown and beach. The house is set back from the road so it’s quiet and peaceful. We will be back. This place is a gem!

A perfect stay in Cape May!
Jean’s bear backyard in Cape May certainly did not disappoint. The house was much larger than it seemed in pictures. It includes pretty much everything you would need for vacation. There were plenty of towels and supplies. The backyard and porch were dreamy. I felt all my stress melt away when I looked at that view every day. The house is a quick car ride to the Washington Street Mall and beach. The way the house was set it seemed like you were miles away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. We loved the dog friendly aspect as we love taking our lab with us on vacation. We hope to return to the house in the future!

Exactly what we needed!
We stayed here on a recent trip to Cape May and this was EXACTLY what we needed. Id like to share our experience with Jean and also the property - both of which were fantastic! Firstly, Jean is awesome to work with. We were planning to stay at a different rental for a week but due to some unexpected and unforeseen circumstances at the last minute (literally our plans changed when we were moving into the planned rental) we found ourselves without a place to stay on a Saturday night in the middle of a two week vacation. I contacted Jean about the availability of her rental late on a Saturday. She was very quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I was able to book the rental and was able to move in the next day for a Sunday thru Saturday stay. The location is fantastic. The view of the sunset in the pictures is absolutely as advertised. The house was clean, the pictures posted are all accurate and the location was perfect for us. It is just far enough outside of the downtown Cape May area that traffic and noise wasnt a problem but still close enough that getting to the beach and the downtown area was very easy! I would absolutely plan to stay here again on our next trip to Cape May! Jean's willingness to accommodate us on such short notice was a life saver for our vacation! Thank you Jean :)
