The 5-days that my wife and I stayed at Lila's beautiful cottage was the most relaxing and peaceful trip we have been on in years. The cottage was comfortable and homey, and was very well appointed. As we cooked everyday, we were also happy that the cooking accessories were all high quality. We were lucky enough to have great weather the majority of our stay, and took multiple walks each day on the bay's shoreline with our dog. Each sunset was a work of art, and each was unique onto itself. Lila was also a great host, and was very responsive in all our communications. We will definitely return to this beautiful place again to rest and renew.

The house had a great view of the bay. We enjoyed walking on the beach. It was secluded which we loved. The grill did not work but the owner was very responsive and was going to bring a new one. It was a George Foreman electric. We did not need it. It is well water we bought bottled water and it was fine. We had a great experience there.

Tucked away on a private bay beach, this gem of a vacation cottage has everything that relaxation requires. Tranquil and peaceful, the only sounds are bird songs and gentle bay waves. The beach is a 20 second walk across the driveway and is full of treasures after each high tide, with sea glass, sponges, shells, pebbles, and driftwood all waiting to be discovered. Egrets and herons and bald eagles visited during our stay too... it really is an amazing delight to be surrounded by so much natural beauty. Cape May and the Wildwoods are only a short drive away, and grocery stores and restaurants are even closer. But we found ourselves enjoying the deck overlooking the beach and taking long beach walks with our dogs Rosie and Finnegan, who wore themselves out every day. We had a wonderful time in every way at Bay Cottage and recommend it highly. Thanks so much Lila and Steve for sharing your beautiful home!

Our family had a great stay on the bay here. It was exactly what we had expected and hoped for — quiet, with amazing views of the bay (and the stars) and easy access to the water that made beach going with two littles (and a dog) as easy as can be. In addition to the wonderful location (direct access to the beach/bay, a quick drive to the beaches in the ocean side, and an even shorter drive to other fun family-friendly activities like mini-golf and bowling/movies), the house had all the amenities we could want — AC, reliable WiFi, washer/dryer, comfortable beds, pet-friendly, wonderful hosts who were available but also let us do our thing, and more. Our entire family had a great week! Thank you, Lila and Steve!

Had a great time and the location and view were amazing

the property had spectacular views, was very comfortable and a short distance to get to many different beaches and restaurants

We liked our stay at the cottage. Host was available when needed.

Property exactly as described. Easy communication with owner. Very private. Beds comfortable! Had a great stay and would like to return!

Incredible water view! We (two couples) wanted a relaxing, fully-equipped cottage with ready access to a variety of seashore experiences-- beach, wetlands, places to walk among trees and birds. We got that and more-- gorgeous sunsets over the water and a cozy feeling of being right in the midst of nature. We loved it!

Our stay was cozy and quiet. Loved the chorus of bull frogs during the nights!! It's just a hop and skip over the dunes to the beach. My 9 yr old grandson had the time of his life as did our dog and us too. thanks so much. we will definitely check if available again!

Great location with a wonderful view of the bay right off the deck. We had the most beautiful weather and truly enjoyed idyllic sunsets, walks on the beach, and our four-legged buddy loved her swimming!

excellent location to enjoy peace and tranquility. My family and pups enjoyed every minute!

Our vacation was spectacular! The location is amazing, very private and comfortable. We saw eagles almost daily, all kinds of shore birds and deer on the beach! As we prefer to be away from the crowds, this spot was perfect for us. We can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend!!!

A beautiful spot overlooking the Delaware Bay reminiscent of what summer at the shore was many years ago. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets sitting on the deck while sipping a fine wine. Witnessing all the changing colors of nature from sunrise to sundown. Walking the beach with small waves lapping at your ankles at high tide and exploring the sand bars far out into the bay at low tide. Quiet and peaceful. For anyone interested in a little more excitement, Cape May, the Wildwoods, Stone Harbor and more are all a short drive away. We very much enjoyed our stay.

This peaceful bayside cottage was the perfect home away from home for our family and such a wonderful way to start the summer. We enjoyed being a short drive away from the beaches of Cape May and the Wildwood boardwalk, but mostly appreciated the serenity of starting and ending each day in the cottage.

Property as advertised... Supportive home owner!

Property is all you can ask for and more. Location, Location, Location. Communication before, during and after stay was above and beyond all you could ask for. We were not lacking for any items within the cottage. We always strive to look for different and unique properties every year, hard to top this one. 2 Thumbs up! Thank you Lila for everything.

Just spent one week … a party of 4+2 dogs and had a wonderful time! The cottage is small but perfect not lacking a thing. The VIEW is Marvelous… the wild life abundant …there is no need to go any place else.. But we did and Experienced Delicious meals and some shopping in Cape May which was a 15 minute ride not a problem. I will rent this little jewel again.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage very much. It was wonderful to be right next to the water, hear the birds, watch the sunsets, walk on the beach…. And they had anything and everything we might need, right down to the binoculars!

Sunny, welcoming space for a peaceful retreat. Easy access to Cape May and Stone Harbor beaches. The kitchen had everything I needed. Was there during sunny days, stormy days, and wildly windy days - all enjoyable!

First, the setting is one that will be appreciated by nature lovers and those that enjoy quiet interrupted only by the sounds of birds, the waves and wind. The beach is walkable at pretty much all times - you can go south a half miles or so until stopped by a creek. And north during lower tides all the way to Dias Creek (a bit more than a mile). Both walks have sections where there are no houses. The back deck of the cabin has a little deck facing the pond. Great place for morning coffee and bird watching. The front deck is huge - just above the dunes and no other homes to block your view of the water and sky. The cabin has a big windows in the living area and lots of light throughout. Because it’s nestled into a natural area there is always something to admire from every window. The little gas stove is nice at night. The dining table is situated to capture the views too, and the kitchen is nicely equipped and open to the living/dining area. The bathroom is small but cute. Altogether this is a great place to rest, walk, read and enjoy nature. And not too far from Cape May. Oh, and our dog loved it!

Loved our stay at the bay cottage. House was clean and comfortable and kitchen was well equipped, which was a good thing because we cooked in every night so we didn’t miss any of the spectacular sunsets. Loved walking the beach every day and seeing no one but the birds. Felt so remote yet only 15 minutes to wildwood. Looking forward to returning in the warmer weather.

My wife wanted me to find place on the beach to celebrate her 60th birthday. After much searching I found this beach cottage. It's on the Delaware Bay, not the ocean, but has wonderful water views. And the best part was we could bring the dogs! The cottage is a little small, but clean and well maintained. It is very secluded, but not too far from shopping, restaurants, activities, etc. All communication with the owner was easy and convenient. And when there was a threat of snow she even brought us a snow shovel, just in case. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the pots, pans , utensils, glassware, etc. that you could need. And in the living room there is a small gas fireplace for a little extra ambience. All in all an excellent experience! If all Vrbo properties and hosts are as nice as Lila I would not hesitate to rent through Vrbo again!

We loved everything about our stay here and will be coming again. Owners are very nice and helpful. Thank you and till the next visit God Bless you and your family The Phelan’s

My husband and I had a terrific week at Lila's lovely beach front cottage! The cottage was very clean, had all the amenities we could hope for, and the proximity to the beach was a one minute walk. We really appreciate Lila's excellent communication and her willingness to permit our dogs to stay with us. They are part of our family, and travel with us always. Five stars all around for this rental and host - we are already planning a return visit in the spring!

We had a wonderful relaxing week! Loved watching the water and the breath taking sunsets! Catching the sun come up over the reeds on the back deck, followed by sunset over the bay on the front deck was simply amazing. Can’t wait to return!

The place was quiet and mostly secluded. Slight issue on the deck with the mosquitos, wasps, biting bugs and flies. The landscaping could use a little trimming as could the path to the beach. The sunsets were beautiful from the deck. We really enjoyed the quietness.

This sweet little cottage was simply delightful. The location is completely private. You cannot see the neighbors. Your eyes are immediately drawn into the views from the front room's windows to the water. You are steps away from walking the beach. My sisters and I enjoyed going to sleep at night with the frogs serenading up from the pond in the back and then waking up to the birds singing their songs right outside the windows. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. The amazing sunsets had us speechless each night. The only drawback that we could find was that there were some rotted wooden planks on the deck outside that should be replaced. Other then that, this cottage was perfect. Rent it. You won't be sorry.

Came for a relaxing week with my partner and our pup. We had the best time at the beach and exploring Wildwood and Cape May. Lila was a very responsive and helpful host. Hope to come back soon!!

Great location - short walk over dune to beach. 15 minute drive to Cape May. House was in excellent shape. Very enjoyable stay.

Will definitely stay again.

Lovely, sunfilled space. We enjoyed many walks on the beach and watching the sunset from the deck. The cottage has a wonderful, secluded setting, while not being far from conveniences and restaurants in Cape May. We hope to return!
