Amazing Stay!

Our group had a great time at this property. The house is super spacious with all the amenities you can think of! The property comes with bikes and beach chairs which made it easy to get to downtown and enjoy the beach. The communication with the host was easy and she was very responsive. We will be back for sure!

Great spot for a big family!

We had a group of 10 children and 10 adults for our week long stay in Cape May. This place was a fantastic option for us — plenty of room, a couple of blocks to the beach, close to town, and the bikes and beach box really made it so easy to set up on the beach or ride into town. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful for girlfriend getaway

8 Women age 70 enjoyed this property! It was perfect with lots of space, wonderful beds and a great kitchen. It was a little disappointing that we did not have a view of the beach but looked directly at the big grey back wall of a hotel. But this is not the property's fault. We were also surprised that there was a fee to use the beach so take your wallets when going! Owner did outline this in the house material but we did not read it before we walked the block to the beach. There is parking for 4 cars in the driveway but beware people park in front of the house and their cars hang over into the driveway you use so getting in and out can be tricky! The kitchen is amazing everything was in working order. So thank you for a wonderful place to stay during our little trip to the shore!

Great location but house needs some work

Listing is overall accurate except there is not "spa/whirlpool" and linens/towels and Kitchen towels are not included. Plenty of kitchen items - don't need to bring anything except the towels and Martini glasses. Arrived and house was dirty (dishes left in dishwasher, trash not emptied, vents dirty, window sills dirty, greasy pan in oven, grill rusty etc; Lisa responded promptly and had cleaners come an hour after arrival. The house needs some repairs though. Ice machines are not working but Lisa offered to reimburse for Ice Bags from Wawa; One dishwasher not working but there is a 2nd dishwasher. Master bathroom showers leak and seeping through ceiling. Vents are rusty; No screens on any window so having the windows open allowed flies and bees to enter house.

The perfect family escape

We stayed here for a family celebration of my father's 95th birthday. There were 17 of us and the 7+ bedrooms accommodated us perfectly. The beach house is beautiful and so close to the beach. The huge table in the dining area allowed us to have all our dinners together comfortably and the spacious kitchen allowed for several people preparing different portions of a meal without getting in each other's way. The common areas were comfy for games and puzzles and the outdoor fire pit was used each night to cap off the day. I would recommend this property for any medium sized group (14-20) that is looking for a beach getaway. There were 8 bikes for touring beautiful Cape May and chairs and umbrellas kept in a locker at the beach so we didn't need to lug everything back to the house. It seemed like every detail had been carefully thought out. I had wonderful communication with the property manager who was very responsive to questions. A+++

Easy beach vacation

The house had a few things that really made a difference for us. Plenty of bikes for riding around, and different groups could go their own way. Having a box on the beach with plenty of chairs meant we did not need to lug too much down there. Plenty of room, beds, and dishes just made everything seamless.
