It is one of the only neighborhoods on the east coast where you can see sunsets. The beach is privately owned by homeowners, so no need for beach tags or any worry of large crowds! The beach is usually all yours to share with just a few neighbors. Quiet, relaxing and just a few houses down the street.

Head down to the bay with your little ones, to build a sand castle and enjoy the calm waves of the bay. You can spot schools of dolphins in the bay almost daily. Get active on your kayaks, or on a run along our paved waterfront sidewalks. Relax in an oversized raft or soak up the sun with your toes in the sand.

The host responded immediately to any questions we had. The walk to the amazing beach was perfect. The amenities were over the top! They have Everything you could possibly need. Even coffee was provided!The sweetest touch was the bottle of wine they left to welcome us. It was a quick weekend so we didnt get to use everything they offer, but I would definitely stay at this property again or any other property they rent.Thank you for providing us a perfect weekend!rent.any other propllllct.home from the start.home was

5 Stars All the Way! We Enjoyed Our Stay!

This was my first time renting on VRBO as we usually stay in hotels but since my Mom was coming, I thought a home would be better and this rental did not disappoint. The house was extremely cozy, very clean and so accommodating. It was like a home away from home and the owners were wonderful. We had such an amazing time and will l definitely want to come back soon! Thank you to 19 Fernwood Road :)

This is a perfect rental for a family at a quiet, beautiful beach. The house has everything you need. It is clean and comfortable. The outside shower is great!!! The owner is also very responsive and easy to get a hold of if needed. We would definitely rent this house again or one of the other houses owned by this company.

Close walk to a beautiful, quiet beach

Our family traveled to stay here recently and were very happy with our stay. At first we didn't know if it would be spacious enough for our newborn and toddler + in-laws but it was more then enough. Even the backyard had more space then we thought! More importantly it was a 10-15 minute drive to everything. Downtown Cape May, wineries, golfing etc. Very happy with our stay here.

A fun summer getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was clean, but the common space was a bit smaller than expected from the pictures. The beach was right down the street which was convenient but keep in mind the house is in Lower Township on the bay side, so the vibe was definitely different than the rest of Cape May.

Great for 3 generation family!

From our 12 year old to his 91 year old grandfather, we all loved this place. In fact, my mother in law wants to buy it and didn’t want to leave. Thank you for having everything we could possibly need while visiting Cape May. We loved every minute and it was a highlight of our summer.

Wonderful space! Wonderful location!

Highly recommend this home in North Cape May. Fantastic location less than a block from the beach - home itself is beautiful, nice hangout space inside and out, comfortable beds, very clean. Air conditioning kept us very comfortable despite the heat. Had a great time at the beach and in town. Stayed here with our family of five and had a great week! Also, Heather was super responsive!

Beautiful property

This place was stunning. All the bells and whistles. They didn’t leave anything to question. All appliances up to date and everything in the kitchen that was needed. The area was quiet and the house being on the corner, gave for more space. Me, my son and his friends stayed here after the prom, and they had a ball. Thinking about coming back in the summer for a week getaway. You want all the bells and whistles, this is where you want to be.

at Cape May

We were so impressed with the Fernwood House and really enjoyed our stay! The house is located in a nice neighborhood a block from the beach and we enjoyed walking along the path parallel to the water. The property was impeccably clean, comfortable and well stocked, including a pack and play for our toddler. The kitchen was designed very efficiently and made for a wonderful gathering place. We were also impressed with the outdoor space and enjoyed dinner at the large dining table. This property was perfect for our family of five for our 4 day stay!

Nicer than home :-)

Our family had not vacationed for quite some time. I needed a place that was exceptionally clean, organized, as advertised and no fuss. What a relief. Like walking into a magazine. Love the floors. Thinking of them for my own home. Complete relaxation. Practically had the beach to ourselves. Highly recommend.
