We had a great stay at the Lorelei with a large group! Having bathrooms for each bedroom was amazing. The descriptions and photos are all accurate to the actual accommodations. The location was ideal as it was walking distance to the beach, shops, groceries and restaurants. The parking fit all 3 of our large vehicles with room to spare. The box on the beach with chairs and umbrellas was super convenient. Lori the host was very friendly and highly communicative. Would highly recommend!

We had a marvelous stay at this beautiful Victorian beach house in Cape May! The house was absolutely charming, comfortable, and perfect for our family of nine!One of our favorite features was the wraparound porch, with plenty of chairs where we could relax and enjoy time together. Inside, the beautiful dining room and huge table were perfect for gathering everyone around for meals and game nights! There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, so our whole family had plenty of space and privacy!The location was fantastic. A short distance to the beach, shopping and wonderful restaurants! Everything about our stay was wonderful, and the house provided the perfect setting for a memorable family vacation! Lori the host was wonderful!Highly recommended!

Wonderful house, perfect location!

The house is just as described (charming, very clean, plenty of space for a large group) and in a perfect location to everything one needs in Cape May (center of town, Congress Hall, the beach). Lori, the host, is very kind and was extremely responsive to all our questions and requests. We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend to others!

Hi Pam, It was a pleasure getting to meet all of you – I don’t always get the opportunity to meet my renters.

Thank you for your suggestion Our A/C system has been on non-stop since early June as we have been booked solid since. When our last renter left the day after Labor Day, our caretaker must have shut the A/C. We apologize . We had no idea it was off. And surprised the cleaners didn’t turn it back on.

Beautiful home in a great location! 3 blocks to the beach and less than 2 blocks to main part of town. Fantastic porch for relaxing, reading, or watching the people passing by. Plenty of rooms and space to spread out for our group of 11. Great communication before and during our stay with Lori, and very responsive to needs. Thank you!

Beautiful Home! Great Location!

We spent the weekend of Oct. 12-14 at Lorelei and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. There were 12 women and we spread out in the ample bedrooms and enjoyed the large dining table for our gatherings which included a private chef cooking for us! The home has ample parking (we parked five cars) but never had to move them as it is in walking distance of everything - shopping, beach, dining, liquor stores, etc. The host was truly accommodating to all of our needs from the moment we booked until we arrived. A great place to stay!

Family Beach week

The house was perfect for our requirements: staying with my husband and me were our 3 adult children, their spouses and children. We fit 13 people comfortably and each had his/her own space for sleeping. The wrap around porch was great for sitting, reading and people watching and the patio was a nice gathering place after the beach etc. Cape May is a lovely town with beautiful beaches and a plethora of shops. The host was very quick and gracious and responsive to all questions.

Charming home in the heart of Cape May

A group of 10 of us stayed for the week, and found the house to have plenty of space to convene and spread out as we liked. Check in was easy, just parked and got the code. Linens were waiting for us on the porch when we got there (rented separately). We went out to eat or got takeout most of the nights, but all the appliances were in good working order, and we were able to cook a couple of the nights without issue. Beach box was super helpful and made the walk to and from the beach very easy. Would recommend for anyone with a larger vacation group!

Thank You Derek for such a nice review. I’m so glad that our house fit your needs and it was very comfortable for your groupand easy location to get to the beach. Thank you for taking good care of our home. I know you are on the other side of the country, but I hope that you will return to Cape may in the future and think of us first.. When on vacation, It’s great to have a kitchen, but it’s even greater to eat out or do takeout and not have to spend time cooking and cleaning up. I’m with you! Best regards Lori Lazan

Fabulous amenities!

The house is great - and all the little extras were very much appreciated - like 6 beach tags, the beach box, tissues (other rentals don't seem to think of this), excellent AC (it was a VERY hot week), a well equipped kitchen, and a wonderful wrap around porch. The very thoughtful welcome basket was a great added touch. Lori is very responsive if you have any questions or concerns. Planning to come back next year - and hopefully many years after!

Lovely Victorian house just a few blocks from downtown and the beach. My family came from Washington State, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday and it couldn't have gone better. Plenty of space for the four vehicles we arrived in right outside the kitchen entrance. We cooked our meals in the well-equipped kitchen (or on the gas barbeque on the patio right outside the kitchen door) and spent every evening on the big wrap-around porch visiting and catching up. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable (all, as I recall, with very efficient AC units). Plenty of bathrooms. A homey living area downstairs with a huge dining room table that seated all 11 of us comfortably. A great house! But it was the host that made this experience so special. Lori is a delight! Her communication with us was stellar. She reached out to us numerous times before our stay to explain about linens, how the beach box works, and all the little details that helped us get the most out of our stay. When we had questions and texted her she responded within minutes every time. She's also incredibly clever and my wife and I really enjoyed the way she communicated in a clear, timely and also fun way. This was my first experience with Vrbo and I cannot imagine a better ambassador for the brand. I recommend the Lorelei enthusiastically!

Thanksgiving in Cape May with Family

From beginning to end, the owner, Lori was amazing. She responded immediately to all of our questions and requests. We cooked most meals at the house as we were a large group. The kitchen offered all appliances, plates, pots, etc needed for our group. The home was a short walk to the Washington Mall, Harriet Tubman Museum and beach. A few minutes ride to the lighthouse and other attractions. Accommodated our family of various ages. Would definitely return again. Thank you Lori for being a great host.

Girl Cousins Weekend!

Without a doubt, my best experience with VRBO yet! Lori, our host could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The house is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It truly enhanced our Cape May experience. So close to the Cape May shopping area and a nice walk to the beach. This was perfect for the 13 of us. Smaller groups could go their own way and meet back at the house for group conversation, games, happy hour and laughter! We all had not been together in so long. The house, the location, the attention from Lori, and of course reconnecting with cousins, all served to rejuvenate the soul! Thank you Lori, for helping to make it special!

Senior Fun!

I'm talking seniors as in age. Five couples came together in Cape May and ended up staying at the John F. Craig house. We reserved the Lovely Lorelei however the roof was being repaired and the road in front was being resurfaced by the city, so the owner offered another property closer to the beach and shopping! Thank you Lori!! We had the best time! We loved the remodeled kitchen, having a bedroom on the first floor, hanging out on the front porch and the overall history of the house. All-in-all, we loved getting together and spending our time in this beautiful Victorian home! Suggestion for readers...be sure to check availability with Lori before reserving on Vrbo! I missed that detail.
