The property, amenities and extras like linens, towels, beach tags, bikes and wifi were amazing. Neighbors were very friendly and gave great tips about new restaurants. Host was very communicative and quickly responded to emails. Fantastic location. Easy parking. My husband and I had a wonderful time. I'm so happy I booked and plan on booking again.

An excellent place to stay

We had an absolute blast staying at the "Historic Boat House". We chose to get takeout for our dinners during our short stay and eat on the deck. Just an awesome, clean, and comfortable home to stay in.

Serene

It was a beautiful property, and so relaxing. The perfect place to celebrate our coast guard graduate. There were several issues outside of the host's control, but Brad was very helpful, kind, and rapid to respond. We would stay there again anytime!

As advertised!

This is a great house, with a wonderful view of the Marina. It was cool watching the yachts prepare for their voyages. In walking distance of great restaurants and a WaWa. Easy bike ride to the beach. Great stay!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beach house! The views off the deck are amazing and the atmosphere was peaceful. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed…from towels to dish soap. The bedrooms were incredibly comfy. The host was extremely welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We will be back!

Great Boat House - bustling waterfront

Very well appointed - everything was well thought out. Nice appliances and furniture. We had a wonderful relaxing stay at an adorable boat house with exciting boat action to watch. The owners cared about what you might need during your stay which really showed.

Relaxing week in Cape May

When we got there the house was immaculate. Everything you need is provided. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with very nice neighbors, also the views off the back deck are spectacular. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing vacation! Will definitely be staying there again!

Amazing Stay in Cape May!

Upon our arrival in Cape May, we checked into this lovely home and found everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The house was be nicely decorated and well stocked with paper goods, kitchen supplies, and linens. The owner welcomed us with 2 bottles of local wine, and a gift card to a local restaurant! The house was comfortable and had plenty of space to relax and enjoy, but the back deck overlooking the water was the highlight of our stay. We loved having coffee, meals, and drinks overlooking the marina. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Awesome Experience on Yacht Avenue!!

Our Family, Twin 6 year old boys and us had a great stay at this location. The house was unique and clean. We enjoyed breakfast, wine, and fishing on the patio/dock. The views and sights of all the boats were very much enjoyed by the boys. The beds were of good size and very comfortable!! Such a great time and communication with Brad was very quick and professional. Thank you again!!

The Harbor House

My sister, kids, and I decided to try something new this beach trip. Staying on the harbor was the best decision. We spent our mornings drinking coffee watching the boats and water and our evenings ordering in to eat on the deck. We had a spectacular sunset as well. You are right by the dolphin watching boat and right by poverty beach. We did sunset beach and poverty beach this trip and loved both, but favor poverty beach. You won’t regret booking your stay here! Close to everything.

What a View!

This time of year is the best time to see all the big yachts coming into the marina for a night on their way south. Spectacular to sit and watch with a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers! The house itself is fully stocked. No need to bring any supplies. Very clean. This was our second time here and we hope to return again next year.

Anniversary Getaway

the property was unique being a house boat. it may look a little dated from the outside but everything was new and comfortable on the inside. Little details make the difference. communication was excellent both prior to and after checking in. easy check in check out. location, location, location. the rear deck with the view of the water, ocean going sailboats that were docking across the water made for a relaxing enjoyable stay. wonderful.

Cape May was unknown to this NoVa lady

Coming from North of Virginia, I knew about Cape May but it never been. Years of going to Delaware beaches….what a loss for us. Cape May is Victorian, stylish and just a beautiful place.Better than Bethany or Rehobeth! Our host was perfect.The home was thoughtfully decorated, walkable to everything including restaurants, the beach, shopping, a wonderful way to spend a weekend. It surpassed our expectations! We want to stay again:)

🌞 Cape May Recharge 🌞

The ‘Water’s Edge’ was a perfect place for my family to rest, recharge & make wonderful new memories in Cape May! The accommodations were perfect for us and every thoughtful detail was so appreciated. The property worked well for my family, comfortable beds, great fans & air circulation throughout, preparing meals was no problem in the kitchen.. all kitchen gadgets, coffee machine, etc. were great! We used the bikes, beach passes & chairs daily. The beautiful view and space on the back deck was extra special any time of day or night. Thank you again for a perfect stay for my family 💛🌞
