Great Location

Enjoyed our short stay in the Cottage. Perfect location, central to all major Cape May activities and restaurants. The Cottage itself is compact but very clean and neat and simply appointed (in a good way). Had everything we needed and was the perfect jumping off point for bike excursions and walks.

Cozy cottage, amazing location

Cozy spot with enough room for our kid to run laps around the kitchen island after days at the beach. Across the street from big wave burrito, and within sight of Iccara and the pedestrian mall. Location was amazing — we didn’t have to get in our car once during our 4 day trip. Highly recommend for small families.
