About this house rental

This cottage is a beach front property on the corner of Shore Road and Race Track Drive in historic Townbank. This setting offers such a perfect beach stay you will want to return year after year! Whether you are looking for a family vacation, couple's retreat or simply to reconnect with a group of friends, this property is equipped and located to provide wonderful memories that will last your lifetime.

This is a two bedroom, one full bath home, which comfortably sleeps six, offers an amazing view above the dunes from the sun room for daily dolphin and sunset watching. Townbank is known for spectacular sunset viewing.. People come from all around just to watch the grand colors provided nightly as the sun sinks slowly into the horizon over the water. Staying here ensures you the premium, unobstructed view of this daily event from both inside the home or the fenced in yard at no additional cost!

The home has air conditioning window units, however guests equally enjoy opening the many windows to fully experience the ocean breeze, peaceful lapping waves and sea gulls beckoning you to enjoy your day on the quiet, non-crowded beach which awaits just outside your door. This area is perfect for strolling about on the beach (no beach tags required!) or biking along the safe shore road that runs directly in front of the cottage.

The Cape May-Lewis Ferry is just over a mile down the road. If you want to hit the boardwalk at night, Cape May is 10 minutes by car and Wildwood is close. Nearby there are wineries, shops, galleries and gourmet restaurants. Harpoons on the Bay (formerly Harpoon Henry's), a beach front restaurant and tiki bar, is just a few blocks walk down the road and a great place to dine in a Key-West type environment if you aren't in the mood to cook! You can have a few drinks and simply walk home; no need to worry about driving! A quick trip to the market is only a few minutes by car. Major highways are accessible just outside of town, yet traffic is not a problem while staying in Townbank. The “small town feel” is comforting while strolling or biking throughout the town.

The house is comfortably furnished for your enjoyment and offers updated kitchen appliances, two bedrooms plus additional sleeping on a large sofa.. The eat in kitchen comfortably seats six and offers views directly out the sliding glass doors. The grand deck offers relaxing seating while overlooking the water, or just a place to hang-out and watch the dolphins or sunsets.

The cottage sits in a large, white picket fenced in yard and offers plenty of space for outdoor fun. Beach access is simply through the gate, down the short, gently sloping dune and you are on our quiet, peaceful, non-crowded beach. It's easy to go back and forth from your “beach camp” to access a snack, drink or the bathroom as you enjoy the tranquil setting of what seems to be a private beach.
I have chosen native landscaping that provides food and shelter for wild life.. Rather than tearing down this old beach house I Have decided to maintain it. Most guests appreciate the cozy comfortable nature of this home. I don't want you to be disappointed, if you prefer brand new, concrete and bright lights , Atlantic City would be better for you.

The property met all the hype- everything they said/ people wrote in their review was accurate. We were happy/ and our dogs got to run around in a fenced-in yard... It was a pleasant stay.

The property has two cottages and since the web site shows the pictures for both, we did not know which one we rented until we arrive. We called the property owner several times to figure out which cottage we rented and its entrance hidden by overgrown vegetation at the back. When we entered the brown cottage we were welcomed with an overwhelmingly strong dog urine smell. The carpets in the living room and the bedrooms were full of large stains. Combined with very worn out wooden furniture, broken lamp shades and upholstered rocking chair w/ questionable large stains, our first impression of the place was awful. When we entered the rooms it got worse. In the room with the trundle bed, there were large urine stains covering half of the mattress which made us gag. We immediately turned on all the ac units and open the windows to air the space. My husband left to buy cleaning supplies and room air refreshener sprays and additional bed covers and linens. We sprayed all the carpeted areas and mattresses with air refreshener and wiped all the wood furniture with Clorox and covered not only the mattresses but all the upholstered furniture with linens to make the odor bearable. When we got out the deck to see the ocean, we were furthered disappointed with the broken glass table with glass pieces spread all around the deck. This is our worst renting experience ever. We paid $1643 for 3 nights. It is obvious that there is no inspection done by VRBO for this property for a long time.

The “natural’ bushes in the yard are so overgrown you had to walk through sticker plants to access the property. The front bushes contained garbage. Backyard and a portion of back deck were taken over by weeds. No rabbits but countless bugs-ants, wasps, bees. The deck sling back chairs were useable but patio table was broken and glass was strewn in deck crevices. Glass stuck to the bottom of our shoes. The deck umbrella was broken as were the Adirondack chairs. Sliders were covered with dog slobber and curtain covering them was filthy. Dog fur on furniture and carpet. Air conditioners are heavily covered with mold (health hazard). Mold on bathroom ceiling and refrigerator. The furniture is stained so badly that we sat on our beach chairs. The kitchen table and end tables falling apart. Every coffee mug is stained. The stained carpeting is also torn up in spots. Dust webs on the walls, ceiling fans and the lamps. Piles of dirt in the corners. This place has not been cleaned in a very long time. Broken blinds. Electric outlet hanging out- a hazard. Most disgusting is mattresses. Plastic sheet placed over the many pee stains on twin. Other had no cover. Not enough room for all issues like 1/2 roll tp, tv not working, no 5th bed etc. We had to leave. I have pics of everything. Refund?

The house, as promised, was rustic. It's old and kinda rough, but I wasn't surprised bc that was discussed in all the comments. The LOCATION was spectacular and we were surrounded by million dollar homes. The beach was steps away and there were NO CROWDS. To stand alone on a beach in Cape May in the middle of July just blew me away. As far as the house, the bathroom was very clean, the kitchen was somewhat clean, the bedrooms were fine and the yard was rough. I don't mind the overgrowth but all the broken furniture in the pile on the deck and the rusty bikes just all should have been removed. The carpets were gross, the place smelled pretty bad but we febreezed a lot and opened windows. We will definetly come back to Town Bank but we'll pay a little more to stay at a cleaner place. All said, I feel very lucky to have found this rental (it fit our budget), it introduced us to North Cape May and gave us the opportunity to see what else is out there. Gary did not overpromise, we got exactly what he said. Overall we had a fantastic vacation and we fell in love with the area.

My wife is suffereing from an autoimmune disease Lupus and we wanted to take a few days at the beach in Cape May so she could regain some strength. We had prevsiosuly used Vrbo and were satisfied so we booked through them for the stay in Cape May. I paid in full in advance and we were looking forward to the stay. However, when we arrived at the cabin we were shocked by the condition of the place. I took photos (which i shared with Vrbo). There were rusty bicycles and bar-b-que pits in the unkept yard. The key lock was broken open so we called the owner who told us to go next door (another of his properties) while he contacted the people who cleaned the places to see if they had moved the spare key. After awhile we located the spare key to our rental. The condition of this place was filthy with spiders on the walls and ant swarms in the kitchen. The carpets were pee stained and the furiture was stained. The front screen was taped on with duck tape and the air conditioning filter was clogged with black residue. I was shocked that this property was promoted by Vrbo.I called the owner to complain and he swore at me and siad he didn't care if we stayed or not. So, my wife and I left and drove the 3 hours back home that night. The owner sent me a text that we was refunding his portion but latter refused to do so.I will never stay at another Vbro property again.

This was my 6th or 7th (I've lost track) annual July stay and I'm still in love. Early morning dolphin & osprey watching on the deck, gorgeous sunsets just a step away every evening, and all in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. True that it would benefit from a little TLC, but I'm not a perfectionist, I still find it charming. It's clean, comfortable, and well stocked for a vacation stay. See you next year!

This property is as poorly maintained on the inside as it is on the outside. It's really overgrown and appears neglected on the outside. The inside is old and infested with ants. There was a stain on the chair in the family room that looked like poop. No W/D and having to bring ur own sheets is outrageous for 375.00/night. It is desperately in need of both an overhaul and price reduction.

There is a wide range of reviews for this property, which, on both extremes, are accurate. The location is fantastic. Beautiful sunsets, great beaches. The beach is advertised as dog friendly, however there are postings that say dogs are not allowed on the beach from 11-4. We violated this and had no issues. There are two houses on property, this is the "back" cottage, basically a 2b 1ba doublewide trailer with an elevated deck, built in roughly the 1960s. The (small) yard is fenced in, but is not secure. Our 35 lb Goldendoodle was easily able to get out underneath the front gate. The house leaves a lot to be desired. Everything is old. There is literally a grate in the floor taking up most of the "living room" that has the house's heater below it. It was uncomfortable to walk on as an adult, and precarious at best for our toddler and dog. The furniture is decades old and not particularly comfortable, the couch especially. Ants swarmed my dog's bowl in the kitchen. There were beach chairs, bikes, etc, on property, but it was all rusted out. Beach toys etc. were stored underneath the deck which is a mess of spiderwebs. The yard is overgrown. On another review, the owner stated this "natural look" is purposeful for the local ecology, which is their prerogative, but it wasn't a plus for us. If you're looking for a great location for beach & sunsets, love to spend most of your time outdoors, and have older kids and a bigger dog, you'll get what you pay for here.
