Marvelous Stay in Cape May
This 2 BR, 2 BA home was perfect for 4 sisters celebrating a milestone birthday! We wanted for nothing and the owner shared all necessary information, including about parking, well before we arrived. The location was within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and most importantly the beach!

Delayed check n
Check in was 4 PM. Arrived around 8 PM. Unit was Never cleaned, a mess. Contacted Kelly to relay the news. Went out to & eat asked for a text when unit was clean. Finally texted Kelly around 9:56 PM. She apologized and said yes the unit was now clean. Understand stuff happens, but would’ve been nice to have been alerted ahead of time. Maybe even offered some sort of compensation for check in delay issues?

Escape the Cape Getaway
My husband and I were in Cape May for the Escape the Cape triathlon and booked this place for the weekend. What a gem! The place is beautifully decorated, well-appointed and super comfortable! Very quiet, too! We could walk to the fun parts of Cape May and bike out to the Cold Spring bike trail and beyond. John the host was helpful answering all our questions and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

I thought that the property was very well maintained and centrally located. The amenities were sufficient for a comfortable stay. We couldn't get the cable television to work. There should be directions.

Quiet neighborhood close proximity to beach and restaurants
The stay was amazing. In person, the place is more spacious. It was clean, in quiet neighborhood and in close proximity to beach and restaurants (about 15-20min walking). No issues with check in/check out. John was quick to respond to everything. Thank you for a great stay!

A delightful two night stay in an apartment with light and space. Haven't slept so soundly in years! Close enough to all the amenities but out of the mayhem of the center of town.

Great family getaway
Our family of five had a wonderful three days in Cape May! The condo was very well equipped, spacious, and impeccably clean! The property is in a great location with easy access to the beach and restaurants. The beach badges and the fully stocked beach box were fantastic perks. We'll definitely be back!

Cute, well-appointed place to stay!
This second and third floor unit had plenty of space for my family of four on our weekend visit. It is centrally located (I walked to the Washington Street Mall easily one morning.) The cottage was very clean, well-organized, and charmingly decorated. The kitchen island easily seats four for a meal, and the dining area off of the living room seats six. Check-in was easy and the owner provided everything we needed!
