Stay in the villas

Great location for proximity to the beach and other shore towns. We enjoyed some mini golf and grilling.Plenty of room for us all. The oven and stove should be looked at as they didn’t seem to be functioning properly.

Very walkable spot close to the beach on the bay to watch beautiful sunsets! The stairs to the upper floor was too narrow so be careful going up and down them. Water was warm to swim in albeit a bit muddy and too shallow at low tide. Delicious dining options not too far from the rental and it felt very safe wherever we went. There was only 1 indoor dining table for eating and it crammed only 4 people into a tight corner. Our two families with young kids visited the Cape May zoo which was not only free but excellent. The beds were small and loud as they had plastic covers on all the mattresses however they provided multiple (twin sized) brand new air mattresses. Having a brand new set of washer and dryers came in handy for us. They provided so many extras like garlic powder, salt, pepper, oils, brand new towels pots pans wine glasses, beach toys, 2 adult bicycles 🚲 and the list goes on. While we wished it could’ve been a bit bigger inside (we had a big family) this rental could easily accommodate 2 small families. Everything was recently renovated inside and freshly painted as well.Thank you for hosting us we made some great family and friends’ memories!

They were responsive, helpful, and made everything easy. The property had everything we needed, which made our stay comfortable and stress-free. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Nice location, easy to find, cute cottage. Good for kids (the stair treads to the second floor were shorter than my adult feet and the beds up there were small - one was not a queen). Walking distance to ice cream parlors!

It is a very cute cottage. The living room was smaller then expected so hard to have everyone together. Also a little hot in the upstairs bedrooms so would bring extra fans. Loved having all the beach supplies available.

We enjoyed our visit to the Whale's Tail Cottage. There were four adults and two children. Plenty of room for everyone. The only suggestion I would make is to put in the listing information that the steps going upstairs are very narrow and that needs to be considered. Otherwise, everything was great!

The location is lovely, a quick walk to the Bay side beach. But when we arrived, it appeared as if the cleaners stopped mid-clean and just left. I contacted Denise and the cleaning person came back to pick up her things and told us it was all clean. Upon further inspection, it was very clear that it was in desperate need of a deep clean and they didn’t finish. Ant traps everywhere filled with dead ants and dead ants all around the traps, so they clearly did not properly clean the floors. There are no mattress protectors on any of the mattresses and the mattress topper in the master bedroom is covered in stains. Absolutely disgusting. There was only a sheet on the mattress topper, not on the mattress itself. We contacted Denise about the cleanliness and mentioned the ant traps and mouse traps we found. She told us there were no mice, it was preemptive and then told us she would try to get someone else to clean. We told her we weren’t comfortable with anyone being there when we weren’t and she responded saying they just left which was extremely unnerving and left us stressed the whole trip that they would show up again while we weren’t there. We then found mouse poop in the living room right where the kids were playing the night before. We vacuumed ourselves, no crumbs or anything were left on the floor. After checking other areas of the home, we found tons more mouse poop some covered in dust so it’s been an issue for some time.

Nice home with all the amenities. The home was very clean, but the living room was much smaller than I expected, the beds upstairs had plastic mattress covers on them and were hot and uncomfortable to the ladies that stayed in those rooms. The water and the bathroom showers was really hot and had to turn it down quite far to be comfortable. The stairs are quite narrow and not easy to carry luggage up and down the stairs. The backyard grass was high and had not been mowed so we didn’t use that area. We had a great time during our stay, but these things were disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location

Overall ok

While the house was super cute, we did experience some issues during our stay. There was broken glass in the backyard and the grass was overgrown. The metal screen door frame had been cut to fit a handle leaving exposed metal corners which cut one of the guests. And there wasn’t any soap in the bathrooms and the washing machine was broken. There were a few other issues as well. When we expressed our concerns we were dismissed and told no one else had complained. While Denise responded quickly, she was not receptive to our concerns. We had little kids on the property and we chose this place but were unable to use many of the “features” of the house. It is not a house I would return to.
