This was a great place for me and my husband to stay for a few days in Cape May. The property was clean and ready for us when we arrive at check-in time. Clear instructions were provided ahead of our stay as well as a check-out list (always helpful). Convenient to restaurants, stores and the ice cream parlor (always important) and a ten-minute walk to the beach. The provision of set-up service (chairs and umbrella) once at the beach was appreciated (beach tags are NOT covered so be prepared to buy them). All in all a great stay!

Check in was smooth and trouble free. Having on site parking is a definite bonus. The cottage is comfortable, nothing fancy and a bit worn but clean. Outside patio was enjoyed if not for the overabundance of mosquitos which is not the host's fault. Can't comment on kitchen appliances or cookware as we only used the coffee maker (brought out own pods) and microwave. Had no hot water in the kitchen on our final day but we didn't notify the host until late that evening and they responded immediately and we're sending a plumber in the morning. Would suggest that they provide a covered garbage pail in the kitchen as the curtain above the pail is rather gross with food particles.

The property was located the perfect distance from the town and beach. My wife and I enjoy walking, so it was a 15-20 minute walk to those destinations. The house is on a quiet street, making the evenings and sleep very peaceful.

The sea turtle cottage was perfect for us. It was within walking distance to Washington St and the beach. They provide bikes which you can use to go to Cape May Point State Park, Sunset Beach or into Washington St. All easy distances to walk or bike. The place is well stocked with everything you could need and it is a nice cozy place for two people. Off street parking was available with the cottage and we had a cozy patio/courtyard area to ourselves.We had some minor issues when we first arrived regarding access and cleanliness, but the owner responded immediately and resolved all of the issues to our satisfaction.I highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to stay in Cape May who doesn’t want to be in the middle of the Washington St hubbub.

It’s a lovely place! Very well furnished and decorated, located in a quiet neighborhood (at least for off season), close to coffee and bakery shops that we really enjoyed. Only thing is that you need to bring your own towel and sheets, guess that saves cleaning fee for you? Or you can rent with additional charges. Since we drove from home, it was no big deal for us. We had a pleasant 3 nights there.

Great Cape May property with close proximity to the beaches, shopping and restaurants. We have rented houses for over 20 years, and you appreciate the little things, a well-stocked kitchen, bikes, beach chairs and organized home. No doubt the sea cottage and its big sister property are a great place to stay.

Parking was very good, off road, in a private drive. Our pet was very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and secure. The interior was very clean and well taken care of. The exterior had too many leaves on the property and the shutters on the house were not secured and constantly banged against the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jan, 2026
Steve, Thank you for the feedback. Just as a reminder you did rent this cottage in the off-season, Regarding the leaves, there are several trees that surround the property and our landscaper was waiting until all the trees dropped their leaves and then we were hit with a number of snow storms which delayed the yard cleanup. As for the shutters, This home was built in the 1860's and the Shutters are secured per the requirements of the historical committee in West Cape May. So unfortunately the shutters will make a lot of noise in the winter during a storm. Thanks, Karen

Charming Space in a Great Location

We just went for a couple of days to get away in September. I loved the location, very residential and quiet. The place is perfect for two, or two adults with two small children. It was to cold for the beach, but o loved that chairs and an umbrella were provided. Super clean and comfy!

Great getaway for couples

The location is great, just a short walk to Washington St. mall and the beach. Great to have a car port for parking and not using street parking. We had a place to store our bikes and bike rack during our stay. Highly Recommend

Wonderful beach vacation

We had a wonderful time here! The location is terrific -- a short bike ride to the beach, Washington Street Mall, and so much more. The shed was a great feature, as it allowed us to safely store our bikes (we had brought our own) and a bike trailer for our toddler. The interior of the home was small but well-appointed, and it had everything we needed.

Excellent place for serving as a base

We enjoyed having this house as a base for going off to places around Cape May that enhanced our experiences. Only one glitch: the tv only gave us very basic cable channels, although we were mostly out and about.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 25 May, 2024
Hi Tom, Thanks for the feedback. The reason why the TV channel selection was reduced was because at the time of your reservation we were still technically in the off-season. Starting Memorial Day weekend is when the channels will increase.

Nice place

The house's location is great and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and beach. It was very well cleaned before we arrived. The only downsides were no cable TV or streaming alternative, and the outdoor canopy and table/chairs were missing, which differs from the photo we saw before booking.

Casey, Thanks for your review.. the reason for the reduced cable and the missing awning is because you rented during the off season. In season which starts Memorial Day weekend. Full cable will be back along with the awning. Thanks, Matt & Karen

Lovely place!

We love west Cape May and this property ticked all the boxes. Perfect for a couple and a dog. Ideally located and just what we needed - good kitchen, dining area and living room space. There was a bit of noise from the neighboring rental (toddler running, evening loud talking). Playing white noise/soft music easily covered it. We are early to bed and early to rise so we have no expectations that others keep that schedule.

Fall in Cape May

It was very clean. The place was very dark. Windows are covered with shrubs and bushes. You need lights on inside, on a sunny day. Windows open very little, windowsills are very dirty and no air can come through due to shrubs, so it is necessary to keep the air on even when it is cool outside.

Another GREAT Stay at Sea Turtle Cottage

My husband and I, along with our two dogs, had an another great stay at Sea Turtle Cottage. We have visited Cape May about 9 times total over the years. We love this cottage and would not want to stay anywhere else with our pets! The cottage is tucked back from the main house with private entrance and parking via a quiet alley. It’s just a couple of blocks from Wilbraham Park (perfect for doggie walks) and Mike’s Pancake House (very dog friendly breakfast/lunch). The amenities at Sea Turtle Cottage are superb. King bed, cable, wireless internet, Keurig machine, washer and dryer (with pods and dryer sheets) just to name a few. The living room was even pre-fitted with padded doggy furniture protectors. The property’s owner, Karen, was very easy and professional to work with. Questions answered promptly via cellphone and text. Book your next stay in Cape May at Sea Turtle Cottage. I know we definitely will!
