This house was so cute and comfortable to stay in. This house was only a short walk to the shops and also the beach! we had a great time with our big group. We had more than enough space for everyone. would definitely stay here again.
This was the absolute perfect place for our little celebration of our daughter’s 30th birthday! A fabulous house with comfortable rooms, each feeling completely tranquil and private. Common areas are fabulous and flexible. Easy kitchen for meal preps including the birthday feast of fish and oysters! Excellent, excellent neighborhood with easy proximity to town and beach. Would love love love to stay here again!
Location perfect. We were able to walk to Washington St mall, Congress Hall, and the beach. Very comfortable for 4 friends. We each had our own bedroom and shared the bathroom. Kitchen had all amenities. Driveway was a little tricky to back out of.
Great location! Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. Kitchen was stocked with pots and pans for cooking breakfast at the house. Lots of beds and space so that everyone could sleep comfortably.
Absolutely a must stay for comfort and convenience to downtown Cape May!

This historic home has the necessary amenities expected in our lives today with all the charm of the 1920's era. My daughters and granddaughter stayed here with me for a few days to enjoy shopping on the mall and catch breathtaking sunsets on the beach. Both were extremely convenient to this location for walking to the beach or popping into a restaurant for a meal. It was perfect for picking up take out to enjoy back at the house, which is especially helpful for eating with a toddler in a home setting instead of a busy restaurant.
Even during off season the off street parking provided at the house was closer to the mall than trying to find a spot amongst the crowds on the weekend.
We were so pleased with this rental I could continue on describing why we loved it, but will just say we would definitely rent again and plan to do so next time we want an amazing stay in downtown Cape May!
Loved everything about the house except the beds. Mattresses were very uncomfortable and squeaked loudly when you made any movement. We would definitely go back if the bed situation was fixed.
There is something charming about an offseason vacation spent in a seaside town. The cottage provided a very convenient location to the center of town and the beach. Beyond our short jaunts to the lighthouse, a few playgrounds, and the zoo there was no reason to drive.
The house is an older craftsman that has been well renovated. It provided the perfect space for my family and my parents in that it was large enough for the kids and the adults to have their space, but also not too cavernous. An excellent place to stay.
We come every year the weekend after Thanksgiving and this house is perfect. Very roomy, lots of games in the basement to play, and a wonderful location!
Cute property, very well located! Walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Quiet residential street. Comfortable, cute inside. Can sleep 6 comfortably.
Would of preferred a less restrictive check in/out window. 10;00 am check out was reasonable. 4;00 pm check in seemed late.
Charming house, Great location Loved sitting out on the front porch. Kitchen was very well stocked. The only thing my daughters and I wished it had was a full length mirror.
Rented house with three childhood friends for getaway weekend. The house wasVery clean and centrally located. . Four nice sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. House has old fashioned bungalow feel but with a modern touch. Two off -street parking spots were provided and needed. I would rent this house again.
We had a very fun and relaxing stay here over spring break. The location is phenomenal; almost everything is within walking distance. The home is clean and comfortable. We would stay here again.
Great place for a weekend getaway. Very comfortable and cozy. Lots of charm and a nice kitchen. We did not use it because there are so many great places to eat!
