VINEYARD VISTA Beach Bungalow in West Cape May

Welcome to VINEYARD VISTA with direct view of the vineyards of Willow Creek Winery

This unique 2 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bath Craftsmen Beach Bungalow is the perfect vacation destination for relaxing, destressing and celebrating life, friends and family.

This authentic1920s home is centrally located on the island of Cape May in the sought after area called West Cape May. Set among the farms and vineyard of cool WCM, Vineyard Vista features its original hardwood floors and is artfully decorated in an upscale, bohemian, relaxed style, designed by both Susan and her daughter Alana (a world renowned shoe designer).


Nestled in the farmlands of West Cape May, VINEYARD VISTA is a located across from Willow Creek Winery, The Beanery and just down the road from Beach Plum Farm! West Cape May is the BEST area of the island set between the historically Victorian city of Cape May, Cape May Point and the intercoastal waterway/canal. This unique area of the island is ideal for hiking, wine tasting, birding, biking and just relaxing. All of the beaches on the island are about 2 miles or less from Vineyard Vista.

The Outdoor shower is great after the day at the beach and is equipped with both hot and cold water. The large private backyard feels like a tropical paradise surrounded by bamboo, palm trees and lighting, making it the perfect place for happy hour, cooking on the Weber grill, or just relaxing - surrounded by the nature show only a world destination birding paradise can show you.

This Magical Island Bungalow home we call Vineyard Vista awaits your relaxing, inspired, best vacation ever.

Quiet Oasis

We had a wonderful weekend at this house. It was perfect for our family of three and was so quiet and peaceful, yet so close to beaches and the center of town. We loved our stay.

Lovely property and gracious host!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The location was superb for our 3 person group of avid birders. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the comfy screened in porch or playing board games at the kitchen table in the evening after a full day of birding atround Cape May. Thank you Susan for your warm hospitality!

Perfect for my family's needs

The house is great! We like a big kitchen, as we like to cook. There is plenty of room in the house for our family of four. Not to mention the house was very clean upon arriving. We didn't get to use the backyard as much as we'd have liked due to rain, but it's perfect for hanging out and grilling. Next up: the screened-in front porch, right across the street from Willow Creek Winery. Perfect view, comfortable furniture. I highly recommend this house to anyone with a family or even a couple. West Cape may is quiet, close to farms, the lighthouse, and birding sites. It really was a "home away from home" and I highly recommend it!

Paradise

Clean, comfortable private home across from wine vineyard, beach plum farm and Rea’s family farm. We biked everyday to the beach and to town. Biking distance to the lighthouse, sunset beach, nature trails and bird conservatory. The house was very comfortable. We did a lot of cooking, used the outdoor grill and outdoor dining area. Susan does a great job of creating a comfortable, private haven for vacation. Would happily stay here every Summer.

Beautiful place

Our family enjoyed the quiet just out of town location. Riding bikes to the beach and all over town was a breezed rom this location, and the screened in front porch was one of our favorite places to be during our stay. Also super cute interior of the house.

Great stay at Vineyard Vista - highly recommend this property

My family just returned from a week long stay at Vineyard Vista. Had an awesome stay. Cottage is clean and decorated beautifully. We loved the big kitchen, screened in front porch, and back yard. The West Cape May location is perfect - across the street from a winery and a short walk to Beach Plum farm. The beaches in Cape May and Cape May Point are a short bike ride (or drive) away. Susan is a great host - easy to communicate with and pleasant. She gave us lots of great recommendations for places to see, restaurants, and watering holes. We rented bikes and visited a number of great places - lighthouse, lookout tower, CM meadows, Sunset beach, Higbee beach (seaglass), mini golf, Revolution Rail, Nauti distillery (great drinks and atmosphere), and the ferry. We plan to visit again (hopefully) in the future.

Long weekend stay

Susan was so accommodating. The house looked even better than the pictures: extremely clean and pretty. We had to stay in most of the weekend because it rained which meant we spent a lot of time at the house. The house was perfect for us.

Relaxing

Great location, you can bike to all the attractions; favorite ride was to Sunset Beach. House was good size for our group of 6. Everyone enjoyed the screened in front porch. The kitchen is well equipped and the half bath spacious enough to double as laundry room. The Host was welcoming and lives next door; was available for any help/questions without being intrusive.

Great house, great location

Communication with the property manger was simple and easy. Checking in couldn’t have been easier. The pictures don’t do the house justice. Kitchen was more fully stocked than you could imagine. We were told we needed linens, towels, and paper products, which was a little strange at first, never had a rental house like that, but was totally fine. Don’t let that discourage you from this perfect rental! They actually had a ton of extra blankets at the house too. 5 ladies went for a wine weekend and was so lovely. Across from Willow Creek which is the best winery we went to in Cape May. That was the only place we could walk to. Had to drive and under everywhere else, but was within less than 15 minutes of everywhere in town. It was the absolute perfect place for a ladies wine weekend. Just a lovely place and time.

Location was perfect and screened in porch was nice but cottage was dark and damp. There were light bulbs out in some of the fixtures. The twin bedroom was extremely tight for two people. Susan was great to deal with, quick to respond, and made things easy!

Great Spot!

Just got back from a nice April break at Vineyard Vista and my family and I give it a resounding thumbs up. It's a great, clean, comfortable home in the best, most laid back part of Cape May. A short bike ride to a lovely farm and vineyard, to beautiful beaches and nature preserves, and to fun eateries. And it's just far enough away from downtown (which is only minutes away) to feel like another world. And Susan is attentive and super nice. I hope we all return again some fine day!

Perfect location for a getaway!

My husband and I stayed at Vineyard Vista and it proved to be the perfect rental for us. We love what West Cape May has to offer. This house is walking distance to Willow Creek Winery, Beach Plum Farm, The Bird Observatory, and our favorite walking beach The Cove. The house was clean and tidy with a beautiful front porch perfect for catching the sunset over the Vineyard. We hope to visit Vineyard Vista again this summer!

Great location, attentive landlord

The house had the perfect size for us 3 and our baby and toddler. Clean and comfortable, everything working fine. The extra 1/2 bathroom was very convenient and the outdoor shower with hot water, delightful. The kitchen was quite well equipped, although (as usual in all rental houses) knives were kind of blunt so if you like cooking bringing a knife sharpener would be a good idea. The internet connection was very good but TV had just basic channels and not the best image quality. Remember that sheets and towels are not included, so you must carry them from home or rent them at local stores as we did (we used linenladies.com and paid around $100 for a week including beach towels and umbrella). I would recommend this house to a friend and come back with my family.

Terrific.

The West Cape May farmland and vineyards of Cape Island should remain an insider's secret! While Cape May bustles with delicious activity and Cape May Point offers spectacular beaches where the ocean joins Delaware Bay, WCM brings the wide open spaces for long bike rides and cricket-filled nights. Landlady Susan is warm and helpful (she lives next door), the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is huge and open to the living spaces, and the vineyard view from the room-for-all screened-in front porch is serene. What's not to love?

About the host

Hosted by Susan Gorski

Host profile image
I bought my first house in West Cape May in 1998 as my beach house. I bought the house next door, which we named Vineyard Vista in 2008.

In 2012 I retired from being a skincare expert on TV to live full time in West Cape May. I have now dedicated my time transforming spaces to best host guests at numerous properties throughout Cape May County and the Fort Pierce area of FL

Why they chose this property

Vineyard Vista (VV) is centrally positioned on the island of Cape May in the coolest area of all called West Cape May. Although we are nestled in the farmland area, overlooking a winery and farm, we are also less than a mile from the coast of the Atlantic Ocean (a nice walk through South Cape Meadows to a protected area of what locals call The Cove.) You have the best of all worlds at VV as you are set privately in your own peaceful sanctuary, but you are also close to everything on the island! (Please see map for actual location)

What makes this property unique

Vineyard Vista is A real craftsman bungalow, originally built in the 1920s - tastefully remodeled in an upscale, artful, bohemian style inspired by the time in which it was built. VV is a one-of-a-kind, charming beach home that is ready for you and your best Cape May vacation ever experienced.
