It truly is a perfect escape! From time in the pool to a quick short walk to the bay, the time is well spent! For our second summer, we continued to love the amenities, the proximity to things we wanted to do and our host’s communication! Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect pet-friendly escape

My husband and I had a great July 4 weekend at this pet-friendly property. It was exceptionally clean, the pool was the perfect temperature, and the short walk to the bay beach (where dogs are allowed before 11am and after 4pm) made it the ideal spot to relax with a pup in tow. Everything we needed for an stress-free summer getaway was right at our fingertips. We can’t wait to come back!

Summer Vacay Success

We usually stay in town each summer, but found this property on the bay to bring our family pet and have a pool to swim in when not at the beach! Kids and adults had a great time and house had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Cape May.

Beach vacation away from the boardwalk

We really enjoyed the property. It was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of Wildwood when you were done for the day and relax by the pool. We used the house for a home base between going to Wildwood beach, boardwalk and doing activities in Cape May. Staying here you had a central location where you could go have a relaxing sunset on the bay beach or go for a busy night at the boardwalk.

Perfect Experience

Very welcoming and clean house for my family (2 boys and dogs). Pool was nice after a couple hours on the road and it was clean and nicely temped to jump right in. We enjoyed the boogie boards and chairs for the beach and the bay is very close for evening walks. Have been down to this area many times and this house was one of our favorite! Hope to be back next year with our newborn. Thank you for the perfect escape!!!

Don’t Hesitate!

The Perfect Escape was the perfect getaway for my husband, myself and our fur babies. The host was prompt and courteous. The property itself was very clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed the patio and pool and the quiet neighborhood that was conveniently located. Plenty of local places to eat and not too far if you want to go to Cape May for a nice dinner. The beach was just a short walk and very clean. 10/10 would recommend.

Everything is so clean, lovely decorating and very well equipped. If you need something, it’s probably there! The pool is great, easy walk to the bay and less than 20 mins to both Wildwood and Cape May beaches. Super host! I lost my glasses during our stay and when he found them he mailed them to me. Perfect!

A wonderful Oasis

My husband and I stayed at The Perfect Escape, and brought along our pooch Kiley. We had such a wonderful time, and felt like we didn’t need to leave the VRBO because of all the awesome amenities! The pool was especially nice, and Kiley enjoyed many treats while we cooled off in it. The location was great being steps from the bay and driving distance to Cape May and Wildwood. We explored wineries and breweries, shopped in Cape May, and spent time on the beach both seaside and bayside. Thank you so much Peter & Alyce - we hope to come back soon!

This was our 2nd time staying at the Perfect Escape and it was just as enjoyable. Peter and Alyce provide everything you could need, including a washer/dryer. The pool is big and heated, so even with the cooler weather, the water temperature was still comfortable. Besides the pool, my favorite part of the house is the outdoor shower. Unfortunately since my last stay, a residence was constructed near the rear of the lot, with the door/small deck overlooking the shower. I appreciate Peter updating the pictures to reflect this. We  rigged up a shower curtain from Dollar General as a makeshift roof to address the privacy issue. I'd love to see a permanent roof (that still allows light to come through) put on before my next stay, but no biggie to use a shower curtain again. The house is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Cape May, but there are still plenty of things to do (such as the Escape Room Cape May right down the road) and places to eat (Local Tavern and Taqueria Casa Mia) right in Villas/Lower Township. I highly recommend the Perfect Escape for both couples and families.

The Perfect Escape

The Perfect Escape exceeded our expectations from start to finish. I spent some time looking for a pet friendly place within our budget. Most allow one dog and charge a pet fee. While I understand extra cleaning is required with shedding dogs and extra hair, our dogs are non-shedding and probably cleaner than us. It was so refreshing to see a place with no additional pet fee. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. There were little touches everywhere that were very much appreciated. Our favorite area was the back yard. It's indescribable. An abundant paradise with everything you'd want. We were there at the end of October and even able to use the heated pool some when the temp went up to the 70s. Peter, the host, was very accommodating we had a couple of requests and he went above and beyond. We will return. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The property was wonderful and would be absolutely perfect if the weather had been a bit better for us or during the summer when the temps are warmer. Only thing that was a bummer to us was that we couldn’t let the dog in the pool as it was clearly marked by the pool but not in the listing, we were hoping our dog could get some pool time during our stay. We still had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone considering the area!

Came down to Cape May for my daughters' dance competition and found this amazing, DOG FRIENDLY, property. Host was communicative, house was immaculate!
