Pictures don’t do this property justice. Beautiful and relaxing even in December. Host goes above and beyond to ensure comfort. We enjoyed a wonderful family gathering.
We travel in the winter in an RV. We had a friend and nephew who we wanted to spend time with and this house was perfect. The weather was very windy but having the beach right out the door was.perfect motovation to
The home owners did a great job of having everything you would need for stay at the beach. The beach was quiet and accessible from the back yard. There was a spot in the house for every family member to hang out and enjoy time relaxing. The sunsets were just stunning. Great panaramic view from the living room.
This exceeded our expectations in every way. A beautiful view, a well=appointed house, and a lovely location. This stretch of beach on the Delaware River is one of NJ's best kept secrets, so it's with a heavy heart that I give such an enthusiastic review. The eight of us could not have had a better stay here over a sunny Thanksgiving week.
Our family had a wonderful weekend all under one roof…every parents dream once your children become adults. The house was perfect for us…6 adults, our 2 year old granddaughter and a little dog. The house was clean, comfortable and had an amazing view of the water. We were lucky enough to witness 2 incredible sunsets! Our host, John, was very accommodating and easy to chat with. Throughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house.
Our family spent Thanksgiving at this property. It was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of areas for everyone to have their own quiet time. The weather was chilly, but the views from the panoramic sliding glass doors made it feel as though we were sitting out on the beach all week. The house is stocked with two pairs of binoculars, which were snatched up and passed around every time a ship passed by (often)! John & Jahneva were helpful and communicative hosts. They made traveling with our extended family painless. Hauling a toddler, dog, and two sets of grandparents rarely goes off without a hitch, but they made it easy. The house is stocked with everything we could have needed for our toddler. The neighborhood is welcoming and walkable.
Arriving there is a quiet neighborhood feel … and then there’s the back side … like a condo on the beach vibe . Beautiful sunrise and sunsets . The house was very updated and classy . House was comfortable for 8 adults and 3 small children . The host was Amazing always responding immediately to my every question and concerns.
We had an excellent weekend. Beautiful view with the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The house was perfect, right on the beach, very clean and comfortable. So many extras such as coffee, snacks, towels, linens, toiletries and more. Fantastic outdoor amenities, such as fire pit, kayak/canoe, beach chairs and more. The host was wonderful, as well, kind and understanding. He was very accommodating to a personal request that we had. We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful home. We would highly recommend this place and
we would love to come back.
This was the perfect house for 3 Dads and their 14-15 yr olds for a weekend lacrosse tournament. The house was clean and spacious. The owner went over and above to welcome us and make us feel at home. The boys loved the kayaks, swimming and the beach. The Dads enjoyed the outdoor area, fire pit and grilling. All the beach supplies were on hand. Easy and quick communications with the owner.
This house exceeded our expectations! From the pictures, we knew it would be beautiful, but once we got there it seemed so much bigger and brighter than what the pictures show. Its so light and airy and was perfect for what we came for. It was VERY clean, each bedroom came with towels and makeup wipes. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into this home. We went in the fall, but was still such a wonderful time walking along the quiet beach and having drinks on the patio.
Would highly recommend going on the off season with friends or a couple!
We had a nice visit to this beautiful, waterfront home, and appreciated the host very much. The views from the beach were lovely. Unfortunately, we were woken several times overnight one night by ships’ foghorns as they passed by- every few hours. Even the white noise machines (a thoughtful touch) didn’t help. Not sure how to predict when the ships come through, but we slept soundly the second of our two nights there. The area is otherwise very quiet- we barely saw anyone else around. The Bankers and Farmers brewery in a neighboring town was a nice outing, as was the walk at Fort Mott.
The house was truly amazing. Very clean and homely. The outside area was great, plenty of seating areas. The master bedroom and ensuite was really nice. The kitchen, well we wish we had that at our home! Sunsets were awesome. Truly an amazing place. Our only slightly negative comment is the water pressure from the faucet and master shower was really slow. But apart from that a fantastic and truly relaxing time. The house looks just like the pictures only better :) The owner has little personal touches everywhere, just like a home away from home.
You're messaging ChatGPT, an AI We have no words to describe the perfect experience that John's cabin on the Delaware River provided us. John was a patient and generous host. From the beginning of the process, he was available for any questions, and even agreed to change our arrival date due to an unexpected issue with one of our friends. The house was very clean, delicately and beautifully decorated, and filled with everything one could possibly imagine needing on a vacation. When we arrived, a decorated Christmas tree was waiting for us, along with a cozy and warm home. We will definitely return to spend our summer vacation in this house. Vvgghr vacation in this house."
The location was great for us because it was relatively close to Newark, DE and Philadelphia. Water views were great from so much of the house and owners had thought of every possible touch to make people feel at home. There were plenty of outlets, chargers, TVs, tables & chairs, hooks in bathrooms, nightlights, etc. The fridge was free of all sorts of open condiments that are probably supposed to be helpful for guests but that drive my husband crazy as they've taken up half the fridge in the last couple of houses we've stayed in. It was too cold and windy for us to enjoy the outdoors while we were there but owners had flip-flops, towels, hats, bug spray, sunscreen etc in case people forget something. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was well setup and easy to get into. The living area is all open so it was good for a group to enjoy time together. Outside on the beach was well setup with multiple options for seating and gas fire pit on the deck as well as a fire pit down by the water. Seeing the big boats pass by was interesting, especially at night. Rooms were comfy and everyone slept well. Salem is an interesting town and I would recommend passing it by. There is a package store a couple of miles down the road from the house that was convenient. Other than that I would recommend going further away. About 15-30 minutes away are some nicer towns. Overall the stay was good and host was responsive. I would recommend.
A delightful experience with every need met in advance
We've stayed at dozens of vacation rentals, but usually, they're spartan - providing the essentials, but otherwise leaving it to us to provide everything. At this stay, it was clear the owners love this property and treat it like their second home. We were greeted with a spotless home and every possible amenity, including coffee, wine, music, ambiance, climate control, chargers, and more. It felt like being waited on by a butler who had anticipated our every need. Instructions were easy to follow and everything worked flawlessly. Had there been any problems, it was clear the owners were on-call to respond to our every need.
We are picky people and this place suited us to a T. Thank you for creating this perfect refuge.
We were very impressed with this property and had a wonderful stay! The house is clean, updated, open floor plan and lovely and you step right out onto a private deck and beach. Water was calm for the kids to play in and when they needed a break it was just steps back to the house. For being a beachfront property, it was actually quiet and secluded too, and for most of the week it was just our family playing on the beach or in the water. The owner supplied everything and was such a gracious host. Linens, regular towels, beach towels, water shoes, flip flops, kayak, paddle board, beach toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, toiletries, care package, etc were all provided! The house was very well stocked as well! We were so happy with the house!!! Not as much to do in the nearby area but if you are looking to just stay on the beach then it’s perfect!
I spent the past weekend at this fantastic, peaceful home and am planning on going back next year.
Everything about the listing and the other reviews are spot on. Great views, well stocked kitchen, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom spotless, the TV nice and big!
What I think is missing (or at least I missed them while reading about the home) are some details that were important to me. The outside table with the sectional sofa is actually a propane firepit - that was a very nice surprise. The bed had two types of pillows - foam and traditional for those who like one over the other. The bathroom was stocked with a few commonly forgotten necessities like toothbrushes and moisturizer. The kitchen has a Keurig for those who like pods and regular grounds for those who like drip. And there was a nice set of snack sized cookies, crackers, etc for those in need of a quick snack.
One of my favorite VRBO's yet.
Our family enjoyed a great week on the beach. We were able to play in the river, kayak, fly kites and enjoy a great week together. Thanks for a great place to vacation as a family.
Excellent property and outstanding hosts. Peaceful, relaxing, and a wonderful spot to finish out the summer. The provided amenities exceeded expectations. The house has everything needed for a home away from home vacation rental.
The house was great for a girls weekend and the host was very communicative and helpful with finding places to eat/drink as we weren’t familiar with the area.
