An incredible house full of charm and a piece of history / so much space and endless porches to sit and enjoy / we loved walking just minutes to the beach and dinner - and the spacious house allowed for the entire family to be together for a weekend while we said goodbye to my wife’s mom in a small ceremony on the beach - she had asked that vape may be her final resting place , after her battle with cancer - abd once again my wife’s mom got the family together to celebrate her life in an idyllic setting full of the exact kind of charm , that JoAnne would have loved - great big dining table and kitchen and parlor room. right off the porch had all of us mingling together and talking - a perfect setting basically

Pros:Excellent locationSpacious houseCons: House needs a lot of cosmetic workFor instance, the floors on the front porch and all the furniture on the porch is peeling and old A lot of the furniture in the house is worn. The pictures on the website are not an accurate depiction of how the house looks in many areas.Some of the mattresses are old and are not comfortable and should be replacedFor the cost of the house, it would be nice to have amenities such as providing beach chairs and a locker on the beach to store beach paraphernalia. These amenities were given to us at other houses that we have stayed in previously.

Wonderful weekend away

This house is truly in the middle of everything. A quick walk to the beach, Congress Hall, great shops etc. The large living area let all of us be together all at once and the porch in the morning was divine. Hosts were SO amazingly responsive with great recommendations. Truly a gem in Cape May.

Comfort and Character!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house has tremendous character with all the modern conveniences. One block up from the Xmas Parade route, Congress Hall and the mall. I booked the house for a 60th birthday surprise for my wife with 7 of her college friends and their spouses (15 of us in all with plenty of room). It was a special weekend for my wife and a fabulous time for all.

Great Week in Cape May

We had a great time! The house was fully stocked and had great spaces to gather all together (dining table, family room) or special nooks to separate (side porches, living room). For our large group of 16 family members, it was perfect with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms!

Belated 80th birthday celebration

Property was perfect - a quintessential Cape May Victorian house on a quiet, tree-lined street within minutes walk to the Washington Mall and the beach. The space accommodated 14 of us with room to spare. The spacious, well equipped kitchen was a delight for multiple cooks. Seashore elegant common rooms - we all fit around the dining room table.

Twin Moms Getaway!

This was a fantastic house for our group! Super cute rooms, bathrooms around every corner (3rd floor has a tub only: no shower), and tons of charm. Well stocked kitchen and you CANNOT beat the location. Quiet street, and around the corner from all the restaurants and shopping. 9 women ages 35-55 (who all have twins at home) had a great stay! ❤️

Laid Back Girls Getaway

The house was amazing! Myself and 7 friends (women, 30s) stayed here for a weekend getaway. This huge house is a charming maze of rooms and stairwells, but with a kitchen, dining, and living room big enough for all of us. We enjoyed sitting in the various porches and sunrooms each morning and soaking in the multiple clawfoot tubs. The proximity to the main street and beach cannot be beat. We would absolutely stay here again!

Family celebration

This property was a great choice for our family to gather to celebrate and enjoy each other in a relaxing, comfortable place. It was a short walk to Congress Hall, restaurants and the open air mall. It was convenient for adults and teenagers to explore Cape May on their own. The house had plenty of room for small or large groups to gather and socialize! Thanks to the hosts for their lovely property!

Great week in Cape May

Thank you Erin and Kevin for hosting our vacation! The house was the perfect size and location for our family of nine. We used the entire house, from third floor bedrooms, to the bedroom on the first floor. The driveway accommodated all 4 of our cars, so no need for on street parking. We enjoyed the front porch each morning and the backyard grill at night! We absolutely loved the location! A choice approved by all our family, we’ve already booked for next year!

Amazing place to stay with family/friends

Our stay in Cape May at this property was simply magical. We celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with friends and had the best time. The location is fantastic - close to both the shops and beach, but we all preferred to spend time on the porch drinking coffee or wine and catching up with people we haven’t seen for a long time. The bedrooms also offered plenty of space for people to stay. My wife couldn’t have been happier! I would recommend to anyone!

Great for family, beach, fun times!

Erin’s home is wonderful! Our extended family of 12 fit easily in this large home with a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms. Sitting room, living area, porches - a place for everyone. We appreciated Erin’s responsiveness with some last minute questions, and took full advantage of the 5 beach badges that came with the house. The walk to the beach was an easy 3 blocks. Really perfect!

Our first VRBO vacation

This historic house is huge. So many rooms! My self and my five children plus their spouses and five grandchildren under the age of 3. Plenty of room. Great location able to walk to the beach and mall. Kids had the added plus of watching the horse drawn carriages come down the street a couple times a day.

Wonderful Week

What a wonderful week in Cape May! We can’t imagine what it must have been like living in this beautiful house 130 years ago! We have 9 in our family, and have plenty of room to be together or have a little privacy during our stay. The location is the best!!! Sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee in the morning is a perfect way to start the day. Plenty of room for four cars and within walking distance of everything. Plenty of beach tags, plenty of kitchen equipment, plenty of charm, just a great place to spend a week in Cape May. We already booked for next year. Thank you Erin for a fab trip!

Perfect Location

The house was great for a multi-family weekend gathering -- well-located near the beach and the Washington Street Mall. One of the bedrooms is only accessible through another bedroom, which was mildly inconvenient but not a big problem for us. The plentiful common areas -- two living rooms, two side porches, a breakfast nook, and a large dining room -- are all very comfortable and let our group spread out for multiple activities simultaneously .

Big house Great location

This was a big house in a great location. Communication was great and the amenities left by the owner were very nice (beach tags, coffee, paper products, toilet paper etc.) the house needed some repairs and the bathrooms and floors weren’t very clean. It would’ve also been nice to have locks on the bathroom doors; You never knew if someone would walk in on you. Other than that it was a great house.

Great location and layout

The house is in a great location, walking distance to the beach and mall, on a quiet street. House layout is very good with respect to number of bathrooms and bedroom layout. The house is in serious need of interior and exterior paint. If you are expecting a place in excellent condition, this is not it. Nonetheless, the location and layout make it a good choice. If some money was invested it would be outstanding.
