Wonderful stay
We had a great stay at Holly Cottage. A quaint cottage with plenty of room for me, my husband, and parents. Drivable to the beach, “downtown” Cape May, along with wineries and anything else you may want to visit in Cape May. The beds were comfy, and there was plenty of space for all of us. We also enjoyed the back patio and watching the geese in the pond. Highly recommend a stay here!
