About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

BELA : Coastal Resort Living with Effortless Beach Access


Our value is proven not just by our sensational guests, some of which have been coming for more than 5 years, but also from what we hear. Take for instance a nice quip about a guests' grandson: "He keeps saying his favourite things to do are stay home or go to BELA Cape May" Says a lot and we strive to ensure BELA is generating fond memories for guests and families.

A rare oasis, BELA is nestled within a casual, chipper community overlooking an resort-ready, undiscovered beach on the Delaware Bay. Seclusion is easily abandoned by driving to any number of festive towns, award-wining vineyards, up-and-coming breweries or party-going beach towns; all 10-30 minutes away.

The proximity to the beach can't be beat. Its only 50 feet away! It's so close you can easily keep tabs on everybody regardless if they are are lounging in the water, swimming, building sand castles, chasing crabs, fishing or sunbathing on the third floor.

Turnkey Fun! We provide access to some bikes, chairs, SUP, kayaks, rafts and other assorted beach toys and gear. Even fishing gear.

BELA's multiple levels and various indoor and outdoor conversation areas make for an ideal vacation home, especially for groups. We have 3 bedrooms having full bathrooms (King, Queen, 2 twins which are often pushed together), 1 room with a daybed and the third floor has futons and a pull-out sofa.

The area is comfortably active; almost exclusively populated by families. The streets are residential and slow, except for beach goers transporting their boats/kayaks/boards and families.

There are a few restaurants within a short walk/bike ride, the famous ones being- beach shack Harpoon Henry's, On the Rocks and 5 West, and the more active Victorian Cape May area is a quick 10 minute drive/cab.

Perfect location! Quick and easy access to the beach. Third floor balcony had the best sunset views. The outdoor shower and washer and dryer were two things that made life much easier. There was a lot of floats, rafts and bikes in the garage. The host was fast responding to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

What a gem! The perfect home away from home. Bela is such a beautiful home, located in the most peaceful area. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out. Watching the sunset from the top deck was the most wonderful way to end our days. The host is so kind. We are so grateful that they are willing to share their home.

The house is even nicer than the VRBO pictures show. The bay views from the living room and third floor balcony are gorgeous and can't be beat. The beach-front location is perfect with a garage full of everything needed for a day at the beach. The landscaping is beautiful especially with the hydrangeas in full bloom. Three on-suite baths are great for three couples. The whole house is clean, the kitchen is well-stocked and the third floor is perfect for kids and teens. The living and dining areas are comfortable whether sunny or cloudy. The owner is very responsive to chats, making us feel most welcome.

Fun Stay!

This home was just what we were looking for… FUN! First trip to Cape May and we found this house Beachy, clean, casual and well appointed. The kitchen was very well stocked, bay beach very accessible and the Bikes & BeachToys were such an added bonus. Property manager was very responsive. Bathrooms are situated a bit strangely - but really wasn’t an issue for us. Back door lock is difficult to lock & unlock but we reported this issue. Would definitely rent this property again!

Most rentals have a book with info on how to use TV and various things in rental. This one did not. It was difficult having to bring linens and towels or rent them for an additional cost,especially when 2 in my party were flying and could not bring theirs. One of the room upstairs had no privacy and no closet. Initial communication with owner good but when problems arose while there it was difficult to get a response. Rental had a great 1st floor with view of water and closeness to the water was a plus.

Fun family vacation!

Great house for a family getaway ! Lots of room for everyone. The garage is filled with fun, bikes, tubes, kayaks, ect. While you dont have the bigger waves in the water as you do on the ocean side, you can kayak or float around in the water for hours if you want to. It worked very well for the younger children with us.

AMAZING Beach House for your entire Family!

We could not have been happier staying at Beautiful Bela! The house is clean, roomy and literally on the beach. We brought our adult children and everyone had an incredible time. We were able to enjoy family time with out being in each others way. The house was well equipped with bicycles, beach chairs, and even toys. There were several outdoor areas to relax that were shady at different times of the day if you were taking a beach day off. We also enjoyed the local winery and walking to Harpoons. Our favorite time was watching the incredible sunsets from the top floor covered deck. Looking forward to next year!!!

One of a kind!

Fabulous home, fabulous views--everything you need (roof top deck, kayaks, paddle board, life jackets, beach chairs, umbrellas, outdoor shower, TVs, sound system etc). We have been to many Jersey shore rentals and this one is BY FAR the best we have ever stayed in. The owners were very responsive when we had questions during our stay. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back next year. I will be dreaming of sitting on the roof top deck and walking the beach with my family every day until next summer.....thank you!!

This well kept home has all the amenities for a wonderful family vacation. Bike rides in the am along the scenic shore. Kayaking on the bay with many friendly people.Tubes and toys for the young ones to enjoy. Short drives to Cape May for ocean fun, dinning and shopping. Wildwood Boardwalk for that great feeling of being at the " Jersey Shore " All this and excellent owners and most importantly, COMFORTABLE BEDS!

Great Location

Owners description and pictures on VRBO are accurate. Owners are excellent to deal with and communication always prompt. Bela is in very good condition and easily handles 10 people. The daily dolphin sightings offshore in front of the house were a highlight for all. We liked the location away from the bustling crowd, yet it is an easy excursion to Cape May. We would recommend Bela.
