2024 Family vacation

The house was just as pictured. It was spacious and very clean and tastefully decorated with a beach theme. Plenty of room for our family. The beach was just steps away from our front door and was quiet and peaceful every day! We would definitely use this house in the future and recommend it highly!

Sunset on the Bay…just steps away!

This well-appointed, spacious, immaculate house is where our family called home for a week. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub inviting, and the sunsets some of the best we have ever sun! The two west-facing decks allowed you to watch the sunset comfortably from your Adirondack chair, or just a few steps away, bayside on the beach. It was a wonderful week and the host was very responsive to our questions. A must-stay!

Family vaca 2024!

The trip was very enjoyable and the Gem of the Bay was very nice and as described. We were 14 in total, so we needed all the space provided. The house was very nicely laid out and the outside deck was wonderful in the morning and late evening (after the heat of the day)! We enjoyed the proximity to the bay (a very short walk) and the convenience of the hot tub! We would happily stay at this property again! Thanks Karen!

Gem of a Vacation

Our extended family of 14 (late teens to grandparents) enjoyed our stay at the Gem of the Bay. The house is beautiful, well- stocked, and comfortably fit all of us. We especially enjoyed the upper deck to watch the sunsets, as well as the large living room for gathering and playing games. The location regarding the beach could not have been better as it was literally a one minute walk away. The bay water was incredibly warm (though questionable in its clarity), and we were able to take long morning walks on the beautiful but quiet beach. Proximity to restaurants and grocery stores was good ( though not walkable), and popular spots such as the Cape May boardwalk and beaches ( beach passes were a bonus!), Wildwood, and several breweries were within a short drive. Communication with Karen was outstanding and her expectations for her guests are comfortably clear. We had no issues and would highly recommend this home. Thank you, Karen!

Family Bay Vacay

Very well appointed home with lots of spce for a large family vacation. Living room area large and comfortable for everyone to gather together. If you desire some "down time" there are cozy sitting areas on the second floor , the first level, and plenty of room on the massive decks. It was very comfortable. The owner is quickly available and responds within minutes if you have any concerns. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location and large enough for the whole family

This is our second year in a row staying here with some extended family and it was fantastic. The house is seconds to the beach and has everything you can ask for. Pack light as there’s a washe/dryer, plenty of beach chairs, toys, umbrellas, etc, Down town Cape May is about a 20mim and great at night to walk around with kids and grab some ice cream (restaurants are packed during the summer so make reservations). I’m sure we’ll be back next year for more great memories.

Wonderful family reunion

The large home easily accommodated our extended 10 member family. The short walk to the bay beach was good for the kids. And the ocean beaches were accessible, too, with a short drive. Lots of kitchen equipment, beach toys for the kids and umbrellas for the adults. We cooked in almost every night and watched the sun set from the upper porch.

Perfect Stay!

We had a wonderful experience at Gem of the Bay. It is very conveniently located to the Delaware, about two houses down from being beachfront. My kids had so much fun poking around and looking at things like horseshoe crabs that had washed ashore, and the water is shallow enough for a stretch and the waves game enough that you worry less as a parent. If you have small kids, this is really an ideal spot. The house was very clean and well organized. Karen is a great hostess and told us everything we needed to know prior to arrival. The hang out spaces are very cozy and nicely designed. The baths/showers are slightly dated, but that’s a very small item for what was an overall excellent experience. Thanks Karen and Rudi...we hope to be back again!
