We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend in Cape May. It was PERFECT for what we needed and slept everyone so comfortably. I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a true Cape May experience with EXCELLENT hosts!

Thanks for your feedback, Arielle! Staying in a Victorian home is definitely the most authentic way to experience Cape May!
Our family of 10 enjoyed a perfect getaway for Easter at your home. It was a perfect blend of cozy and modern all wrapped in one! The location was ideal to walk to the shops in town and the beach in the warm afternoon. Check-in was seamless and it was easy to contact if the owners if needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Family Beach Getaway
Our family enjoyed the house and loved how much space we had for our week long trip. The walk to the beach was not bad at all with 5 small kids. Amazing location with tons of things to do. We were disappointed with the cleanliness and addressed with the owners who are very kind and easy to communicate with.
We enjoyed our stay at Pocket on Perry. The house had two living areas, an open kitchen with plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms, a nice front porch, outdoor shower and bikes to use. We loved the very handy box of chairs & umbrellas located on the beach! Plenty of parking. Great location to walk to the beach and in town to the shops and restaurants.
Roomy and well stocked home, perfect for our 6 women getaway in Cape May! Owners very responsive. The porch was a fantastic place to gather for a drink and snacks. Kitchen was ample with 2 coffeemakers, many paper goods, plates and utensils. We walked to the beach and the main shopping “mall”. Great fun!
We loved absolutely everything about the house. The space was ideal for our group, with lots of open living space to gather and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. We enjoyed hanging on the front porch and the short walk to town. Just perfect! We hope to come back soon. Thanks so much.

Judy and her group were a pleasure to host. Would welcome them back.
This place was great! Owner was very quick to respond. The house is big with a thoughtful layout and lots privacy within it- awesome for four grandparents and two families of four with young children. Easy walk to the beach, cvs is across the street and lots of convenient places to eat. Everything was new and worked well. The kitchen is stocked with utensils and cooking gear. We dined on the porch, in the kitchen, in the backyard, and in the dining room. You can easily walk to the pedestrian center or bike. Thanks for the great stay!

Thanks for your feedback, Brenda! We love that your family made the most of all the spaces offered!
This house was very charming and comfortable for our group of 8 adults and 6 children. The location was excellent, with downtown Cape May and the beach just a short walk away. We also loved the bakery just a few doors down. We did encounter a few minor inconveniences such as clogged and/or slow-to-drain bathroom drains and bedroom/bathroom doors that wouldn't stay closed unless you latched them from the inside. The house was generally clean, but a few spots were missed (e.g., visible dust on the ceiling fans, a baking sheet with oil residue). Despite this, we had a wonderful time and would consider renting this property again!
Our family of 12 loved our time at Pocket on Perry, plenty of room for all of us. The outdoor porch was great to just sit outside at night. The house was well stocked. Great location, easy to walk most places. We had four cars and had no issue with parking between the driveway and front of the house.
We absolutely loved our time at Pocket on Perry. The house is great, and it is fully equipped with everything to make it comfortable and welcoming. It is a wonderfully updated Victorian house while still maintaining that Cape May charm. The house is also in a great location, and walkable to the beach and all the local shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here, and we plan to come back soon!
This property is perfectly located to beaches and the Washington Street shopping area. Plus it is very close to the road down to the lighthouse and other points of interest near the point. Beautiful porch and very well stocked kitchen. Lots of games. Loved our visit.
Wonderful location and worked well for our large group of family & friends. Would definitely recommend.

Nice property and stay. Further from the beach than depicted on VRBO.
Overall, we had a great time. The property was very nice, ample room for 2 families (8 people total). Interior was nice and comfortable, and nice outdoor porch seating area.
In terms of location, part of the reason why I selected this home was my perceived proximity to the beach. It appeared from the map on VRBO that this property was about 1 block from the beach. Unfortunately, it’s about 5.5 blocks from the beach (~0.4 miles), which is significantly further than I expected based on the listing and map. However, this rental does include a reserved box at the beach with stored chairs and umbrellas, which made the walk a bit lighter.
Overall a good experience, all said and done. I’d stay here again, I’d just adjust my expectations when considering this property vs others.

Hi Stephen! Thanks to your feedback, we were able to adjust how the map displays our home and it no longer appears as beachfront (vrbo automates the map based on home address). We're glad your family enjoyed our home and we hope you'll stay at Pocket on Perry again!
We loved everything about our stay at Pocket on Perry. Clean and beautifully remodeled. Location was perfect, easy walk to Washington Street shops and easy bike ride to beach. Chairs and umbrellas in a storage locker so we didn't have to drag those back and forth. Plenty of hangout space for the kids on the one rainy day (so rare in Cape May!) - the smart TVs in each room were a bonus so no fighting about who wanted to watch what :)
The adults appreciated the beautiful porch for morning coffees and evening cocktails. Hosts were also very helpful and responsive. We can't wait to go back!

Dev and his group were fantastic. They were a pleasure to deal with and left the place as clean as they found it. We look forward to renting to them again in the future!
Our trip to Cape May was perfect in every way, including our stay on Perry Street! The house is immaculate and adorable! We would definitely come back and many of us commented how we would come back to stay with our own families! You will love staying here and it’s location is walkable to restaurants
