Chalet By The Bay - Sleeps 12

We had a great stay for my mom's 70th birthday weekend. Pretty close drive to Cape May. House was clean and great for 3 families.

Wonderful property. Hosts were very responsive!

My heart either rises or falls palpably at the first sighting of a property. Tension built as I watched the blue line of the GPS getting shorter and shorter, finally entering a quiet, pleasant neighborhood 2 blocks from the beach. I saw the number on the mail box, raised my eyes, and felt the upsurge in my chest. All seven of us--wife, 2 sons, daughter-in-law, and 3 grandkids (4,8,9)--felt the same. The door code was the last 4 digits of my phone number, which made it super easy to remember. The house was clean, flooded with light, ample wrap around porch with rockers to sit and drink coffee early in the morning and a table where we could eat a meal together outside if we wished. Inside, upstairs was a perfect fit for my older son's family: a large master bedroom and a second bedroom with bunks for their three kids. The kitchen was large, light, and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The silverware wasn't cheap, the knives were sharp, which is not the norm. My wife and I like to go on long walks early in the morning. From the house we could either walk the nature preserve or the bayside beach. It was a 20 minute drive to the ocean beach at Wildwood, 16 to Diamond Beach (whiich was less crowded. I had a few conversations with Chris, the host, who was always available to answer our questions.

Great size and space for 2 families with kids. Host was very responsive. Would recommend again.

The property is about 17 minutes from the main Cape May centre.When we opened the door, there was an overwhelming musty smell.The lighting was harsh and difficult to work out.There was one wine glass only.There was one bathmat for the 2 bathrooms.The lounge kept coming apart when we sat on it.The place was neat and tidy, enough sleeping spaceIt was okay, not great.
