We stayed for the 4th of July holiday. While this is a cute home in a convenient location to everything in Cape May & Wildwood, it was not very well cleaned prior to our stay resulting in us feeling uncomfortable at arrival. The floors and counters/surfaces in the kitchen were clearly not wiped or mopped prior to our arrival causing us to wipe down all surfaces before feeling “at home”. There were multiple pincher bugs/earwigs crawling around and a light musty smell. The outdoor shower drain does not work at all. Through no fault of the host, the power went out for nearly 12 hours during a heat wave & we had not even a flash light. We spent the evening doom prepping at Walmart so we had lights, fans, ice to keep food from spoiling and power banks for our devices. While this helped, it was certainly not how we wanted to spend an evening after paying over 500/day. While other homes had generators running, we were stuck sweating in the dark for an evening. Overall, the consensus from our group was that we will choose another home for next year’s trip. The home was not terrible, and the host was not bad at communicating. He promptly responded when I reached out about the power and if he had a generator, but knowing he had gotten an alert about the outage & didn’t bother to check on us or offer any help was disappointing. If we had known power going out was a possibility we could have been more prepared with our own generator or power banks. Maybe it was just bad timing for us.
