Cape May Property Feedback

Great property, well maintained, rooms laid out well, plenty of bathrooms! Short walk to boardwalk and mall. I would stay here again readily! Just don’t care for $150 VRBO FEE.

Great location

A short walk to the beach or to the mall was ideal. Two parking spots was also very helpful and there’s a beautiful weeping willow tree in the backyard!

Delightful spring weekend

The house was exactly as pictured, clean, and in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and shopping/dining area. Ideal for 4-6 people - more might be a bit crowded.

Completely satisfied

The house was perfect and location was great. Everyone that I spoke to were extremely helpful. Linen service was such a help with having to bring so much down for my sons wedding. Only issue was not enough trash / recycle cans so we did the best we could.

Awesome place and pretty well stocked. The only thing was there was a bad modem and our WiFi wasn’t connected until day 5.

Wonderful experience for all!

Home was perfect for us and our son's young family with two children (5 and 2). Super clean, great gated deck and backyard with all amenities needed. Fantastic location for walks into Cape May and local restaurants, bike rides, and close to activities such as Cape May zoo, wineries, aviation museum. Would definitely go back again.
