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!

Private Apartment with free parking on premises
Cozy little place with lots to do nearby and a quick walk to the beach! Inna was a great host, we really enjoyed her property and look forward to a future stay!

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!

Pristine Bayfront Sunset Condo
Great place, great host. If it’s available, definitely stay here.

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 :)

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

Bayside Getaway!
Sean was very communicative. We are not people who like casinos, but schedule the trip to two musical shows at the casinos on two different nights. Place was clean and in a quiet location within a mile or two of the casinos. Check-in was easy and the apartment had everything we needed. We ended up driving down to Cape May on two different occasions to spend the day, which is only about 40 minutes south. Very cute town offering a bird sanctuary, and a nature tour at the light house. We had some great dinners in Cape May as well. We did run out of things to do there by day four and came home a day early. But the apartment is just what we had hoped and expected, so all is good from our point of view.

Wilde Rose By The Bay - Salt water Inground pool
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.

Fortescue Oceanfront Getaway
Great place to stay - better than the pictures! Clean, has everything you could need, beautiful views, good fishing and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Evangelos is a great host and good communicator. Charlesworth being a few doors down is very convenient - food is awesome there!

Ventnor Villa: On the Bay, 3 Blocks from Beach
The house was ideally located with both bay views and close access to the beach. It was extremely clean and well stocked with amenities. All questions we had were quickly answered by the owner. We had a very pleasant stay, and would definitely rent again.

Bay Front House On Chelsea Harbor With Parking
I would recommend this host and property to anyone visiting AC. Host was great, house is beautiful. Would definitely book again.

8BR Lux Ocean-Blk, Hot Tub x6, Sleeps 20, EV chrgr
We booked Mikhail's place for a bachelorette weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The communal areas were great for hanging out, the bedrooms and bathrooms were well set up for our group of 9, and the hot tub was an added bonus. The location right on the boardwalk was wonderful and it was easy to get around. Would definitely recommend!

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!

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!!!!

Amazing Waterfront View- Relax in Anglesea
Great stay overall! The space was cozy and beautifully designed, with an incredible waterfront view that we really enjoyed. The rain shower, combined with the luxurious-scented bath products, made the experience feel like a relaxing rainforest retreat. The host was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. If you’re traveling with a pet, it’s a good idea to message the host before booking to ask about the pet fee, just so everything’s clear upfront. The host was very accommodating in our case, which we really appreciated!

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.

2 if by Sea
We had a great stay and Jennifer’s place. It is convenient to both Cape Henlopen State Park and downtown Lewes. The deck on the patio was a nice feature, it faces the canal and we watched the osprey make its nest. The place is well stocked and very clean.

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.
