Cape May

We all enjoyed our recent stay at this property. It is the perfect location. We were able to walk to the beach, mini-golf, the beach and shopping. The kids loved the bunk beds and the beds were comfortable. It is always nice to have a kitchen to save money on meals. It was nicely stocked. The outdoor shower is probably our favorite feature of the property, so take advantage if you decide to stay!

Fabulous Property!!!

The unit that we rented was impeccably clean and well stocked with all of the essentials of home. No kidding....we really felt at home here. The beds were very comfortable (always a concern at any rental unit). We spent a lot of time chilling out on the very inviting front porch, all within eyesight of the ocean and just a short walk (comparatively speaking) to the mall area. I highly recommend this property!

Overall property was great. One suggestion is that more seat is needed in living room area and mention should be made to bring your beach gear, i.e. towels and chairs.

Nice Place

The apartment is nice, espeically since in cape may a lot of the apartments havent had updates in a long time. The apartment is tight, we were only 3 for the stay so it was fine but i do think it would be tight with more people. I do think for staying after labor day if way pretty expensive but I dont know how much its compares.

The location was fantastic and the neighborhood was perfect. The apartment was smaller and older than appears in the photos but was very, very clean with modern bathrooms. Comfortable beds. A bonus not having to bring our own linens and sheets. We had a great time!!!

Lovely Victorian row home perfect for girl’s weekend!

Spotless and well appointed rental 2 blocks from beach and minutes from restaurants and shopping. This was the perfect spot for our girl’s weekend! The house comfortably fit 6 people. My only recommendation would be to add more seating to the living room to make hanging out in the common space more comfortable. Will definitely come back to this rental!!

great location and front porch

We came down to Cape May for 12 years and usually rented 1-2 weeks for summer vacations with the kids. Now that everyone is 20+ years old- that type of time is just impossible to get on the books so we decided to look for a place that rented for a long weekend. The owners were very responsive and the apartment is cute and very clean. If there is any way to add a small extra chair in the living room (maybe get rid of the blue table and put something small ) it would add to the comfort level. The Kitchen is well stocked and the island is great for game night and snacks. I am not a huge fan of window air conditioners but these worked well and weren't too noisy. The Location is fantastic and street parking was not an issue. We loved hanging out on the front porch at night talking.

Our Spring Break

Eight of us shared the ample space of the second floor apartment April 3-5, 2023. True, we weren't inside much because the weather was lovely, but chilly. Two bathrooms were a big plus with 3 teenagers. The building is an easy walk to the beach and and lovely walk to the mall. The bagel shop on the corner was a favorite morning stop. Plenty of useful kitchen tools and counter space. We all enjoyed the really quiet neighborhood (at this time of year). Our hosts were a big help with the few questions we had that were not included in their welcoming e-mail. We hope to be back.

A flawed beauty

It’s a lovely apartment, in a superb location, but there’s no outdoor space at all, no place to hang sandy towels and stash beach chairs. This means tracking sand into the apartment. Worse, there’s no way to sweep or vacuum. When I asked owner if there was a broom somewhere, I was told that they want to ensure that “guests do not have to clean.” That’s a tortured way of saying they are fine with people walking on filthy floors covered with sand and crumbs from meals — gross and uncomfortable. Moreover, on check in we found sand and a used qtip on bathroom floor. Families should know that the kitchen is too small to do real cooking. It’s a shame — a very cool place only a block from the beach. Cape May itself is lovely, but the inability to tidy this place up is a major minus.
