Perfect Location

Came down to experience Christmas time in Cape May and it exceeded our expectations. This house was the perfect size for 3 adults and walkable to all the places we wanted to see. House was clean and had everything we needed.

Loved it!

The place was nice and cozy. We had a wonderful time. The only thing I did not like was having to bring linens because I did not want to pay over 200.00

Historic Cape May

Cute house in historic neighborhood. House was as advertised. A work in progress....that's the way with old homes, yet comfortable and well stocked. Loved the front porch. Walk everywhere. Parking can be an issue if more than one vehicle. Would highly recommend!

Thanksgiving Break

This is a lovely little cottage within walking distance to town, restaurants, grocery and the beach. We did have some challenges while there. The bedding package delivered wasn't correct. We arrived late enough at night no one was willing to drop it off to us. We were told to come get the correct bedding. So we made due with what was delivered. Unfortunately, the owner doesn't include a comforter or extra blankets - just a sheet and one blanket are included in your added linen package. The kitchen was well appointed. You can cook a proper Thanksgiving here without having to bring anything. Some dishes were dirty but this is a home so it is possible it was missed by accident, they do have a dishwasher. Upon check-out - make sure you put all your linens and towels back into the bag they were delivered in, otherwise you will be charged a significant fee for someone to do it for you. Other than the tag on the linen bag, there were no instructions or a courtesy reminder call to do so. So we were charged for this error. These things didn't ruin our trip but more of just a hassle.
