Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Very happy you had a great vacation and loved our house.
It was a pleasure to host you. Please come back anytime!
We had a great time here! The host was wonderful and very accommodating. The house was beautiful and interesting. My family and dog loved it. The location is perfect too.
The property is lovely and in a great location, and the owner was wonderful to work with We like to cook and the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and appliances. The porches and back yard were great for enjoying the fresh air.
Kristyn is a great hostess. We stayed here in April and liked it so much we decided to bring the grandkids for a summer beach vacation. The house was perfect for our group and we had an excellent time. We will likely come back again at some time in the future.

Thank you so much Terry!
It was a pleasure hosting you and your family.
We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental in Cape May! The house was spotless, very comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and the downtown mall with shops and restaurants. Our host was fantastic as well, always quick to respond to any questions and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Cape May!

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing you intended to give us a perfect 10/10 review and were unable to change once submitted.
I think your review speaks for that rating! So happy you loved the house and had a wonderful stay. We would welcome you back anytime.
Excellent location. Can walk to shops, beach and restaurants. There isn’t a high chair, but there is a booster seat. The wagon is better used for kids to ride in than for lugging beach equipment. Overall, a wonderful stay.Kristyn is a marvelous host. Easy to get in contact with and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind review Jacki! We so appreciate hate you choosing our home for your vacation and taking such great care of it.
We do have a Tommy Bahama beach cart, soft cooler, 12 plus beach chairs, beach umbrella, tent, boogie board, skim board etc. To protect from
Mold, they are stored under house on side. This is all in addition to the kids wagon - which to your point is to transport the little from
House to mall if they are too little to walk that far. We have a stroller as well.
This property was very clean and at a great location for the beach and shopping. It also had everything we could possible need in the kitchen. The 10 beach tags were a plus. Families with very young children should consider the many knick-knacks and fairly steep stairs. Kristyn Guill (the owner) was wonderful.
Beautiful home and will maintained. Owner is great to work with and very helpful. We all loved the way the house is decorated. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

What a wonderful place to stay for the whole family!!
We just got back from a wonderful stay at this true gem! We had children from infants to teenagers stay with us and 10 of us were very comfortable in the house. The common spaces really let us bond together and the location of the house was superb for strolls through town together. The owners were also so inviting and welcoming. Very highly recommended!!!
What a wonderful stay!! House is beautiful!!! well stocked with all the essentials and very comfortable living!! Beautiful new bathrooms and kitchen easy to cook in, patio and porches are great for relaxing. All around a great house!! Kristyn was a great host, very responsive and wonderful with instructions for the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with our family for the week. HIGHLY recommend this house and will definitely will book again!!Thank you Kristyn!!!

Thank you Catherine for the fabulous review!
Glad you were pleased with house and location and so appreciate your feedback.
Great Victorian house in a great location! We’ve stayed in a number of rentals over the last 30 years in Cape May, and this location was the best yet – a short walk to beach, mall, restaurants, etc. The house was beautifully decorated with many amenities; yet still very comfortable for our active preschool/elementary aged grandkids. The reserved parking for two cars was a big plus, and the owner was very helpful and easy to reach. Thanks for the wonderful vacation memories!
Beautiful house and gorgeously decorated. Owners were beyond helpful and very accommodating. The house is in walking distance to the beach, Congress Hall and the Washington Street Mall. We had a great time. The house is very spacious with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Hoping to rent again in the future.

Thank you so much Stacey!
We loved hosting you and your family and you are all welcome back anytime!
So appreciate what great care you took of our home. You are 5 stars on all fronts.
This was our first time staying at this property and we are so glad we found it! The house is spacious; the decor beautiful. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you might need. Its location is amazing. It was an easy walk to most of the shopping and restaurants. Plus only 2 blocks from the beach. Our favorite part of the house was the 2nd floor porch where there was always a nice breeze. Kristyn was such a kind host and very responsive! Highly recommend!!!
This house so many pluses and all of us had a great time staying here. The house was clean, well decorated ( gorgeous interior design), perfect location to everything Cape May has to offer. It was just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping and more. We enjoyed sitting at the porch. The kids loved the balcony! There is also a grill and a lovely courtyard to hang out at the back. The large living room was excellent for our big family where we enjoyed some board games and watched TV( comes with streaming channels). The chess set table in the first living room was a hit with the kids! The owner had thought of everything to make us comfortable including good beach chairs, trolleys and umbrellas. Owner was very helpful and friendly.
After a few years break, ten members of my extended family and I returned to Cape May to make more memories. "Pearl By the Sea" was the perfect place for us. Gorgeous interior decorating and extremely comfortable accommodations whether relaxing on the front porch/balcony, lounging/singing in the living and game rooms or sleeping in the cozy bedrooms. The home was extremely clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Very convenient access by foot or bicycle to the beach, Washington Street Mall and the restaurants in the neighborhood (we parked our cars and never used them again until we departed). An added bonus was the easy access to the bicycle route to Sunset Beach which we rode to as a group to attend the beautiful and moving evening flag ceremony in honor of our mother who loved Cape May.
Kristen, the owner, has been wonderful to work with.

So blessed having met you and yours, and by this most beautiful review!
Truly, we are the lucky ones!
So grateful you chose our home and so happy it was perfect for your stay.
Look forward to hosting you again anytime, and hopefully developing a friendship as a result of this connection.
Many home amenities we didn't even use. The rain kept our group from using lovely porches and backyard, but the location gave us easy walking access to restaurants, trolley and the beach. So we also hardly used the kitchen amenities or beautiful dining room with 12 chairs. Krysten was quick to respond to our questions....yes, you need to bring bed and bath linens, for example. Both parlors are large enough for our group of 8 to gather in one to discuss plans. Highly recommend.
The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of room but what stands out about this property is its location. You are close to the beach and to town including the grocery store and restaurants. The owner was very communicative, nice and accommodating.
Fabulous place for our family week at the beach. It's a beautiful home and the perfect location. So close to the beach and the shops and restaurants. The place was great for us -- it was my kids and husband (kids 3 and 6); cousin (18); and in-laws. We had a great time. Plenty of room for all of us. Enjoyed sitting on the porch and having a drink and watch folks go by. It was great to be so close to everything so that everyone could have their own time. Also loved bbq'ing in the back yard after a long day at the beach. Fabulous!

About the host
Hosted by Kristyn Guill
Married, live in NOVA/DC area. Have 7 yo son. Purchased the house as a second home in December of 2016. Since we use as a second home in addition to renting periodically it feels like a home not a rental. After purchasing, we renovated kitchen and bath; added outdoor lighting, fenced yard and new landscape design; repainted interior, added custom crown molding, European wallpaper, artist commissioned stained glass transoms, shiplap, crystal chandeliers, new furniture, artwork, area rugs throughout and custom screens for front porches.
Why they chose this property
Best location possible, walk to everything, hear the crashing waves while sitting on the porches or in backyard. Beautiful Victorian with tons of original elements and state-of-the-art kitchen and baths, central A/C, radiant heat floors for year-round enjoyment, fireplace, original hardwood floors on all 3 levels, 2 huge porches (one screened), backyard with patio furniture and table, gas grill, tons of natural light and amazing floor plan for vacationing and entertaining. Outdoor shower and 2 parking spots.
What makes this property unique
Horse drawn carriages and trolleys passing by front, two porch swings, 13 foot windows in Parlor, 13 foot ceilings on third level.
